World of Warcraft Grinding: Using your Inventory Wisely
posted September 24, 2009 - 6:03pmDo you know how to allocate bag space effectively while grinding? If not, this information is very beneficial for you. Take it seriously.
It is very important for you to have as much food and drink as you can use in a session to minimize downtime when grinding a character regardless of the level in World of Warcraft. If you can afford it, you should invest in a large selection of potions both for reducing downtime and also to help out in a pinch during a longer than normal battle or a time where you aggro multiple characters unintentionally and this happens a lot in World of Warcraft. With all of these considerations, one of the things that people often forget when going out to grind is the bags they carry. Many times, a player will keep bags that were gained via quests or just enough to carry their potions, food/drink and maybe a couple slots for quest items or various goods that they might pick up during a Wow grind session. This is a terrible idea for any player, as you will often find that you run out of space just as a great item comes up on one of the mobs you're grinding against. In order to make sure this never happen you should abide by these rules:
There are three rules you should follow, let us get started right now:
The first rule you should follow is that you should always make sure that you have at least 10 or 20 bag slots per mob zone you are grinding in. While this is slightly overkill, it will allow you to keep whatever you get during a session and will significantly decrease your downtime while also giving you some extra coin to buy food and drink during your trips to town.

The second rule is that when you go into a town, you can buy at least four stacks of food and drink. Even if you run through these, they should last you a few hours at a minimum. Given that most food will take a little less than 30 seconds to consume, it would take you 40 minutes to consume all the food and drink if you took it back to back. With Mage, we generally have to refresh once every 3 minutes or so and therefore that stack would last longer than 4 hours on a normal session. It is obvious that if you are grinding with a group it will last much longer and there is no reason you won't be able to get up a couple of levels at least before these stacks are exhausted. Most likely you won't be able to consume all of this before you go back to town so when you do go back, just stock back up so you have 4 stacks of each.
The third rule is that when you buy food, you should sure that it is the best that you can get for your level. As usual, on many Warcraft servers, a Mage will fill their bag with conjured food and drink when it's a far lower level than they really need. This is a major downtime increaser because you will have to spend the entire regeneration time making sure that your health and mana is up because otherwise you have to stop again much sooner than expected.
Simply put, you should spend a couple grind sessions working on these and you'll see a huge increase in the amount of XP gained per hour on your characters.
