WoW Grinding Calculator

Kickassjoe · April 10, 2007

I just finished a World of Warcraft Grinding Calculator.

As some of you already know, grinding in World of Warcraft, is killing monsters to grow levels, and not taking any quests. With this calculator, you can find out how many monsters you will have to kill to grow a level. It also displays a MsgBox with the amount of experience you need to grow to your next level. All you have to do is enter in your level and amount of experience (or leave it blank) and press "Calculate".

(My WoW SN is Starburstman, and I play on Zuluhed, in the "Hellfire Blades" Guild.)

Note: The calculator does not work over level 59, because I couldn't find the formulas I needed to make it work for lvls 60 - 69. I haven't tested this yet, but I think if it messes up, it will only be 1 monster off. The "Desired Level" Input also does nothing, so don't try to use it.

To-Do List: (not in any specific order)

1. Make it work for levels 60 - 69

2. Make the "Desired Level" Input work

3. XSkin?

Please report any bugs that you find here.

Looking at the image valuater has supplied. How you can kill a mob that is 1, 2, 3 or 4 levels below your level, when you are a level 1.. :shocked:

Kickassjoe · April 11, 2007

I made the GUI with EzSkin... but I can't get the close and minimize pictures to work.

EDIT: did some testing... and got them to work

Kickassjoe · April 11, 2007

Yeah, Manadar... I didn't feel like fixing that, too much time, and it can be overridden with common sense. :shocked:
