Hi, I'm currently a level 82 sniper and just maxed AE. After typhons I'm planning on either training on gobies or newties. I'm wondering two things: 1. Should I pump strafe until it's maxed? Or do I work on eagle, puppet, and strafe at the same time? 2. Which place would yield better EXP: Newties or Gobies? Thanks to all who can help me with this (: P.S. Buying a 110+ ATT Crow or Neschere :P

You're going to want around 6 Puppet, 15+ Strafe, and 1 Blizzard for Gobies. Eagle isn't really needed there. For Newties, you could probably start sniping at 20 Strafe. After you max it, start pumping points into Eagle so you can attack multiple Newts safely. After that I'd go with 21 Blizzard and max puppet to take the top efficiently. Newties are faster and don't require too much attention, though if you want the fastest leveling I'd stick with Typhons. xD

Thanks alot :D Not to be rude, but I heard that typhons get kinda slow at 11x, so wouldn't newties be better in the higher levels? Also, is there a good number of eagle to stop at for maximum effiency? Like with AE 21 is good because it maxes the attack range. Is there a level like that for eagle?

You should stop Eagle at 15 or 16 (15 being the absolute minimum to get the REQUIRED frostprey skill in 4th job). I don't remember why I used 16, maybe for an even 90% or something? Bleh it doesn't matter I only use it at Ice Based monsters, which I avoid like the plague anyway

I stopped Typhons at level 113 (15%/h) and went to Newties. Partied at Newties with a non-leeching HS mule (lvl 25 HS) and got 25-30%/h.
