Decide which of the following would give exp faster between level 95 and 100, without any regards to meso and NX costs. Soloing Himes while using x5.72 exp (x2 card, x2 family buff, HS, and 3 hr+ exp pendant), buffed with Onyx Apples and MW 20. Note: The HS and MW 20 are provided by a Bishop that periodically buffs you outside the map. Leeching Night Shadows from a level 164 Bishop while using x2 card, x2 family buff, HS, and 3 hr+ exp pendant. Edit: This is for a Wind Archer, with which I plan to use maxed Arrow Rain and Magnum Shot for mobbing Himes.

grind himes. you'll feel more accomplished and it's very fun to hime solo.

I guess I'll go to Himes then.

i think red wyverms are faster than nightshadower in terms of leeching. and leeching is faster.

id rather leech at blue wyverns. you should get 1xx% an hour. and thats just with 2x+HS alone, not calculating pendent.

As far as I know, 2 x 2 x 1.5 x 1.3 = 7.8x

Rapptz said: "As far as I know, 2 x 2 x 1.5 x 1.3 = 7.8x" HS doesn't give 150% exp to one person soloing. It gives 110% to one person, 140% to two people (I think), and 150% to 3 or more.

i dont know but you should know, if you are soloing himes and the bishop is outside, you will only get 110% exp. Still more than normal but less than 150%. You would be surprised about the number of post i have seen in my time playing maplestory saying something along the lines of, "why am I only getting 110% extra with max HS when i train?" looking at the level of your corsair you may already know this...but it never hurts to mention it.
