I've heard many stories of how windraiders are supposed to be excellent training but they really haven't proved to be that beneficial to me in lower ascent. Is there a certain way that I should rotate the map at windraiders or is it because I've gotten bored of the background and surroundings o.o

are you using the teleporter? do you go to the left area and kill those every so often? if you answered yes to those then i dunno why the exp isn't good, but if you answered no, try one of these.

Get a decent amount of Shadow Partner. If you're taking too long to kill then, you shouldn't be there. If you want to train on Windraiders but you still have to hit a few times, crossroads is more ideal. It's the map you get into right after the second Twisted Path.

There's a teleporter? o.O I have to find out where this is. And no I'm not killing them in the left area I guess I should start doing that =O

Right when you enter Lower accent from Vally of Heroes, climb the rope, the teleport using the statue. Jump to the right, then jump down killing all the Windraiders. Repeat. Do 3rd time but instead of jumping right after teleport, jump to the left and kill the mob of Windraiders on the left.

Try less to approach the lone Windraiders on single platforms. Aim more at finding the mobs (which will be pretty obvious where the best ones spawn), and training will be quicker. Once I was sharing a map, and I was stuck with the top right platforms. Spawns up there are slow when you're only attacking there, so I trained slow. If you manage to get the first few platforms you climb up to, it'll be quicker. And make sure you don't ignore the leftmost platform, because that does pile up with WRs. A lot of people forget about that platform, so you can take it every once in a while. And I trained there from 70 to 80, and I'm probably not done there yet. So I don't think it's bad EXP. I did use a lot of 2x (Family rep and 2x events), but even on 1x (which I did train on a lot ^^), I thought it was OK. And if I thought it was OK, you should be able to think it's great, since I train super slow.

If your going max SP right away then its ok to hit the lone Windraiders.
