Hello all. Seeing that I've been training at Lower Ascent for quite awhile now, I've come out with a map layout that would give you guys the maximum percentage gain at Lower Ascent with or without Double EXP. For me, having been on Double EXP for the past 20 or so days, I've gained a massive amount of percentage while training at Lower Ascent and I'd like to share with all of you guys on how you will be able to accomplish this. So here is the map and the numbers are where you guys will be starting and ending from. link #1 - This is one of the platforms with the most spawns. Start off by freezing/stunning/grenading these Windraiders and get to near the platform you will be standing on. Remember to not stand to close to the edge of the platform because if you do so, you will be hit by the Windraiders magic attack. Always remember to stay in the halfway mark of the platform, you will be able to see it. #2 - Kill the 2 Windraiders that spawn right after you finish your mob and teleport to the top. #3 and #4 - #3 will enable you to snipe Windraiders without getting hit. If you want to go to #4, recoil and stun/freeze them right away. Otherwise, you will be knocked down to #6 or maybe even the platform next to #6 which contains Stormbreakers that can do a physical damage of up to 1400 without proper Weapon Defense equipments. #5 - There will only be 1 Windraider on this platform so kill it and head down to platform #6. #6 - This is the platform right next to the Stormbreakers. You can either snipe them on platform #5 or go behind the halfway point of platform #6. If you want to kill the platform to the far left, remember to continuously stun the Stormbreakers. If they spawn, you will get hit and there is a chance you can die. #7 - Jump down, recoil, and go down to the platform and stun/freeze them right away. Find a small safe spot and start spamming Burst Fire or Invisible shot. #8 - Once you finish off platform #7, recoil and wings to the rope and climb up to platform #8. Once again, stun and freeze them otherwise you will get knocked down. #9 - There will also be Stormbreakers to your right, far right, and Windraiders to your left. Stand right on the crack (each of your feet will be on the crack). Standing like that will not get you damaged by Windraiders nor Stormbreakers. Kill the Stormbreakers and Windraiders to your left and your right #10 - This is where it gets a little tricky because you'll have to Jump + Shoot at the same time. First time will be a little annoying, but once you get how to jump and Burst fire right away, you'll kill those Stormbreakers in a flash. Now after killing the Stormbreakers, turn to your left and kill the Windraiders on that platform. #11 - Jump down and start killing the Windraiders to your left and the Stormbreakers to your right. After finishing those 2 platforms, jump down to #12. #12 - The 2nd platform with the largest mob. Recoil, Stun/Freeze and get to the platform to the left of platform 12 and start spamming

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to use it tonight and see how things go. Is it true that the SB spawn effects the WR spawn? 'Cause I always heard that there was no relation and it's easier for me not to mess with the old 'Breakers.

From my experience, the left Stormbreakers spawn platform #7 and the right Stormbreakers spawn platform #12.

How would it change if I was training with a dk?

I don't think that was what she ment, i think she ment, why does this rotation only go for pirates? would it be any different if i was using a dk to train there instead of the pirate?

Oh, I understand now. Actually, I think it wouldn't change much. It's just Outlaws will have more mobility around the map with Recoil Shot and Wings.

ReLaX said: " and hermits and flash jump?" Well, most of the Hermits I see at Lower Ascent rarely goes to the top. They usually snipe #1 and #11.

That's basically how I did everything there, except I would always do 8 before 7, then recoil+wing my way over to the 11/10 WR platforms. I also didn't kill the SB every time I went around the map, I'd stop to do it after a few rotations.

No. Recoil->Wings macro will make you recoil and use Wings the moment you land on the ground. You'll bounce and maintain the momentum you had with Recoil. It does not make your Recoil go further.

Well, seeing that my Octo is now Level 27, I just summon one, jump down to 7 and start killing, go back up and kill the platform between 8 and 9, then summon another Octo on 9 and let it sit there til it's gone.
