Hey everyone, I haven't leeched before so sorry if this is a stupid question. To those anti-leechers, sorry if you hate me, but it's my decision what I want to do with the money I earn and how I want to use my time. Frankly speaking, I'm very busy this week with 4 assignments and I am SUPPOSED to be studying for upcoming finals (boo me). Thus, I'd prefer not to train by myself. Regardless of how much I have to do, it is the last Hunter's Luck week and I won't be able to find a better opportunity to get my Aran to lv70 for that ring. The details: I have a lv65 Aran that I want to get to lv70. I can purchase a 2x EXP card for 4hrs to stack 3hrs of Hunter's Luck and family buff for the remaining 1hr. The problem: I am wondering, how fast is leeching at Jesters at lv65 compared to training there myself with the above buffs? If I am expected to get over lv70 with either approach, is there any disadvantage for job advancing late, other than not having a 3rd job skill at the time (i.e. I can save SP's, no HP loss from advancing late, etc.)? Thanks for the help!

You will lose SP if you overlevel, 2nd job SP cant be used for 3rd job

well, its very fast if you use this method: the leech provider genesis's on the left side of the map and you TRAIN (like hitting monsters and stuff, you know?) while getting hs, etc you'll hit lvl 70 in at least 3 hours from lvl 65. but if u afk, its gonna be a LOT slower so just keep that in mind ;x

Thanks everyone [quote] candykid135 : u'll get to 70 both ways but it would take u about an hour less at wrs on 4x (grinding) [/quote] So if I don't want to overlevel, both ways would get me to lv70 but one would let me train for an extra hour of 4x? If I do job advancement late I shouldn't lose any HP or SP, right? Can anyone confirm this? Thanks again!

[/quote] Thanks - someone also stated that if I leeched, I shouldn't overlevel, but if I trained by myself I would get to lv70 in 3hrs and have 1hr of 4x wasted.

if you truly want to leech, and you think youll overlvl, just collect the items necessary for the job advance b4 you leech, and when you hit 70, have the leecher hold the map (most leechers will if you tell them that ur having to do job advance real quick, especially on arans, as it doesnt take but a few minutes), run and do job advance real quick (make sure you have at least lvl 1 maker, need it for job advance), then run back over and continue the leech

Like one guy said, train while they spam one side of the map. It'll be much faster. You CAN overlevel, you no longer lose AP although you used to it's been changed.
