So now that I'm level 100, I'm going to take my time to 120 and gain money. Typhons have sucked me dry of money as well as my scrolling failures. I've read the training reference and its a decent place for exp and a great place to gain profit off Illbis/Monster Crystals/Crystal Ores. Will Spirit Vikings last me till 120? Or will it get too slow by the 11x?

I suggest Gobies, they drop 60% gun and claw attack, but also the Bone Fish there, even though they are stingy with their drops, drop 60% overall dex, int, and a chaos scroll. If you loot everything there you should be making money. I am unsure how it will be for a Ranger though.

I just don't like training at Aqua Road :/ Also, can anyone tell me how to train at Spirit Vikings with Puppet? Where do I use puppet? How do I mob them? Should I use arrow bomb or arrow rain? Anymore information is welcome

The bottom area where you have to stand on a really small platform in between two rows of vikings, ARing them from both sides and the bottom, is the main place that's easiest to die at. When they shoot projectiles, you can simply duck though. I personally didn't use puppet much, if at all, while I trained there. I was 8x though. My puppet was too low leveled to be of use. The exp at vikings won't compare to typhons, but you'll rarely need to use pots.

PyPQ. The exp will pretty much suck but it ives still a bit. The money gain though is quite quite nice. I doubt vikings will last you very well up to 120 though you definitely could get there. But lvl100-120 is the hardest part of 3rd job. Typhons would be ridiculously better and the ilbi droprate of vikings is crap -.-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amYwSpdVKB4 Here is a link to how to train effectively on spirit vikings. Used to be a video by a guy with the username of "Pokgai" but couldn't find it. Just a note, don't expect better than 15% an hour. The poor design of the map and exp/HP ratio makes training very slow. And ilbi drops are possible, it's all a matter of luck. If you train there for 10 levels, i'm sure you'd get at least 2 or 3 though, if you're on regular exp.

The map is designed such that archers can go up and down the middle, spamming AE/AR and not getting hit. I trained there for a few levels in my 8x and I only ever used hp pots because I looted etc and meso drops. And as for the exp:hp ratio, Spirit Vikings are 1:23.8. That's really not bad at all, especially since you are always mobbing at least 3 or 4 of them on that map.

I'd show you a video, but I have no access to a video recorder thingy ;(. Does anyone know how to get fraps or anything like that?

Thanks! I'm also training there for the 91-100 monster crystals. In galicia they sell quick for 200k each monster crystal. A very nice profit for me and the money drops are not too bad either. Either way its much more fun than spamming AR at Typhons.
