So I finally got into the higher explore levels. It all went well to about level 17 - 18 but now it's so slow. It took me a couple of hours of harvesting artifact chests and filling up tons of pets just to get to 20, and so I imagine 20 - 25 is going to be hell.
Any faster way to do this? Or tricks to making artifacts more efficient?
Right now all I do is horde all the artifacts and restore the shiny orbs and those brown bone thingies. Everything else I leave as it is since he fails too much.

Go to the swamps? If you can OHKO Hobos that is.

Give rafting a try? Works quite well for me. It's about 2-3k exploration exp per dock x 3 docks though some like to only do the first leg and then restart by suiciding etc. I quit doing artifacts because of how boring it got.

If you're on Ch6 and 7, the Spawns are higher. That is, go rafting. You should be able to get 7 big Stars per Dock, which in turn gives 3.1k Exploration Experience Points. Times that by 3 docks, and you have 9.3k Exploration exp per run.
I don't know if Artifacts are faster for you, but the inventory space and chance of failing with it turned me off. Plus, you have to actually search for the items, with a 50% chance of restoring them before you turn them into experience

I'm no good at rafting. I'm 90% melee and don't have any good range maxed out. adv magics are all r9, so is AR and mag.
I have to waste stacks of MP100's to get any decent stars which is unacceptable.
No improvements on exploration since G7? (last time I did any)

I'd normally just leave exploration at 18 per rebirth, but if you are a perfectionist, artifacts are good up till level 20. Then you should check out the days arc lich at metus spawns and do the elf level 20 exploration quest that requires you to sketch arc lich.
This is a very risky method but it's also the fastest from 20-25. If you think it is too bothersome then you can choose not to do this.

I just want to get to it once, since I never did before and now we have journal crap. But I also don't have any time to waste on these things. Lucky to play 30 minutes per week day.

R9 IS can get you a bunch of stars per rafting trip and you just really need to trans if you run out of MP. Though that limits you to no spamming rafts, it still gives you good exp. Bad thing about IS though is that you need to steer and hug the walls to get off a good IS.

Playing Mabinogi?? My, this is some surprise.
Pack your pets with Artifacts. Appraise them and repeat.
To me, it's the fastest way to level up Exploration.
I wanna get it to 25 also for that Journal achievement, but I usually leave it at 15.
Good luck!

I thought Fossils were amazing Exploration exp. They're so easy to mine and clean D:

You need well over 200k total explore exp for level 25. At level 18 it took me my own inventory and 7 pets two trips to get to 20. Imagine 25 D:
Since it's weekend I might be able to do it but then I won't be able to do anything else until next weekend.

I know a bunch of people in my guild got thunder just because they wanted to raft for exploration. :D It's pretty brilliant. A single raft, fresh from rebirth, will push you to about level 13 or 14 exploration. Another three trips gets you to around 18 exploration. It's also good to do rafting right after rebirth because all those levelups will refill your mana for you, without wasting pots. If you don't want to rank up thunder yourself, maybe find yourself a rafting buddy? It's kind of a nice, relaxing way to get exploration. Or you could always just go demigod and run around Cor haha. Other than that... no real tips about ranking up exploration. Unless you want to go and try to do field bossus, but those are pretty much monopolized.

I feel that fossils isn't great unless you have lots of them in store.
I got my level 25 exploration through a mix of rafting (early level 1-18) and the later levels were all by exploration. Took me like a few days spread out to get to 25 though. Think it was like 3-4 days.

Since im accurate with my mouse, i do Fossils. Not as efficient, but its also a chance for a Lava Cat Robe which can sell for an easy 800k-1mill. I get 11-12 fossils easily. Taking 10-15mins at most to restore them. Easily get anywhere from 6000-10000 easily. (Depending on what Fossils you find changes how much exploration/gold you get)
and 3-5% of getting Lava-cats are bull****. its less then 1% imo.
