The grinder mystery, The truth is out there... Options

[Ether]

I was poking around gamefaqs today, and came across an interesting message

"Every time my friend (hes a ramar lvl 34) beats a sinow beat or a sinow gold he gets a trigrinder. Right now hes got about 45 of em."

Now this caugh my eye pretty quickly, since I have oh, 5 sranks, and none of them are grinded over 50, a trigrinder goldmine like this would be awesome. But the message is pretty vague, it lacks needed info like his friends section ID, and the difficulty. But I think this may be true, enemies on normal mode have a habit of always dropping the same items, like big monsters always dropping trimates, and the ep 2 mini bosses always dropping star atomizers. I'm gunna go through the mines on normal and hard with all of my characters now, and hopefully post some good results

I have found a great way to get grinders is just to go though solo Heat Sword quest. Sometime the game is loaded with grinders...trigrinders too...sometimes not. One night I did many many Heat Sword runs and turned up like 50+ in griders in maybe an hour or so of having fun pwning vhard mode..heh.
