How to train at Male boss with puppet

For archers with a high leveled puppet, I think I've discovered a good method to train at Showa Street 3. As most of you know, Male Boss spawns there, and rarely anybody fights him, let alone train on him. However, I've conjured up a method for the low level bowmen with good puppets. Aggrovate Male Boss in any way, so long as he doesnt touch/shoot you. Walk to the right of Showa Street 3 and summon your puppet on the very right ABOVE the lowest level in the map. Male Boss hould automatically be going for the puppet, stuck in the corner, so long as the puppet stays there. Shoot him a couple times and stop shooting when he starts summoning leader A and leader B. As you know, he summons TONS of monsters, so step back and watch the mobs of Yakuza run toward you ! Of course, for the people who don't have a very high leveled puppet, it should dissapear very soon. Aggrovate Male Boss again, and puppet him (on top). For some reason, he tends to summon a LOT more monsters on the second puppet. Repeat, and this time mow through the summoned mob and kill off Male Boss. It does not take long for male boss to spawn, so repeat. I am level 90, and with this method I gain around .5% for each male boss that spawns. I find this exp very good especially during 2x, but Thats my opinion. If the method is used correctly, the speed of exp gained nearly matches windraiders! Again, this is my opinion. Also, I put this in the bowman section because this only applies to bowmen with 3rd job (the puppet). What do you think of it? *Also I am making a movie about this method*

Matches windraiders at level 90? Aya, that's not saying much.

.5% or .05%? .5% seems insane o.0

I mean, if it was 5% it'd be a great place. o_O.

Yes, .5% each time the process above is performed, not .05. But remember, you don't kill male boss immediately.

Still, I don't remember male boss being too serious a threat, even with only 15 or even 1 strafe o.0

LOL, nice one, i remembered I try killing him at lvl 71, right after i got my puppet, cuz i was dumb enough to go down there and try to see what lvl monsters are over there. I did kill it though, after like really long time of puppet/kill/puppet/kill... I'm not sure if higher level would kills it more efficent, but at 71 i would say wr is way more exp/min. If u can, can u post the time it took u to kill one male boss?

Yea last year on 2x exp when gobies and squids were full I trained on Male Boss. Sold the Pomade's in MTS for 500NX, and the exchange quest items for 300 NX/100.

With this process, I gain around.3-.5% per minute.

I'm guessing 15% an hour tops? My friends were getting 40% an hour at typhons at those levels on regular 1x exp.. EDIT: Might have been 2x, but you get my point xD
