So after reading a few posts and threads everyone is talking about leeching at gallops at lv105+..... they are lv94 monsters so doesn't that make it horrible exp? Doesn't newts leech give greater exp than gallops at lv105+? or are gallops just that beeast...

I believe that Gallops mob better and have a much better spawn rate.

Galloperas are an easier 1h and also holy weak - Meaning you can have a lower-level one-hitting bishop. Meaning more EXP for the leecher. Newties give more raw EXP but you have to be a lot stronger to 1h them 100%. 1260 Magic, IIRC, as an Archmage with an ele wand / staff. But then you don't get HS, 'cause you're with an AM. So yeah, Galloperas are pretty beast.

Galloperas are better exp for Bishops than Newties. They are holy weak so you can 1hit them at a low level, whereas a bishop that 100% 1hits Skels will still not be able to consistantly 1hit jr. newties. And they spawn like crazy (I get ~4200 kills/hr at Gallops(1hit), vs ~2100kills/hr at Newties(2hit Bishop) or ~2500kills/hr(2hit AM), ~2700kills/hr at skels(2hit), ~3850 kills/hr at Harps(1hit)) They also hit for less & have better drops (Newtie drops are craptacular). Newtie leech does still have some points in its favor so I doubt it can be considered 'dead'. 1) There are unlimited Jr. Newtie maps due to the mini-dungeon. In a populated server it is nearly impossible to get a Galloperas map during peak times. 2) Jr. Newties are in Leafre close to Skels. Most Bishops like to hang out near skels so they can go to skels to solo train/party train when not leeching (As a Bishop I get 13.7mil exp/hr soloing at Skels(2hit) vs. ~11.5 mil exp/hr soloing at Galloperas (1hit)). Its also very easy to move from Newties to Skels during a single leech session (thus not watsing 2x card time). 3) While Newties are annoying for Bishop (getting knocked off due to lack of freezing skills or seal) its very easy for AMs (both I/Ls & F/Ps). AMs due to their freezing abilities can stand out futher at Newties, thus hitting 1 more Jr. newtie per round than Bishops do. As an AM my exp/hr is about the same 2hitting Newties vs. 1hitting Galloperas. And Newtie maps are a hell of alot easier to find.

Gallops are easier then newts. Also while we 1 hit gallops we 2 hit newts. Gallops spawn> Newts. Gallop's Map> Newt's Map.
