so I've been at red goblins since 66 and they're great exp, but now I'm 75 and out of the "hell level" and I remember the training gets smoother from then on. But I wanted to know if Golden Temple could still be good training? I don't know about red goblins, the exp is good, but now I'm killing faster and I wonder if 120%/hr on 4x is good exp >.>

Isn't that only 30% per hour? I'm sure with an e-wand 3 at red kents you could manage that, or better. Though then again, IS's range is somewhat lame at that level, and so Red Goblins would be easier...

I went to red Kents at 76, and did 76-82 in 3h 4x+1h2x or 4h 4x exp.. can't remember :P So it's just as good + you don't have to pay for that ticket.. (Maybe more potburning what everyone says, but what I can't remember )

my IS is now L15 :P and the damage is around 1500-2000 on ice weak and less on others is that good for kents? I'm also looking into the e-wand but in the auction I saw one scrolled for 100m 0_O yes that's 30%/hr - not bad really (on 2x or 4x 0_o) but I just thought there would be other places doing better by now about the same as I get from MP3, minus the crowds and KSing :D I'm going to leafre on kents for fun, i'm just looking for a place for tomorrow's 2x :P edit: i checked out a %/hr thread and it seems the going isn't much better elsewhere kents seem to be 40ish but I'll save my pots for now :P still going to see for myself :P edit: rofl both birks and red kents hit harder than a mofo, plus no safe spot burns the pots even faster maybe after I get an e3 wande I heard kru/captain were good the spawn is okay but it takes so many hits for 265-285 exp ~_~ I think it was near the same amount of hits for red kents lol also tried death teddies :P any suggestions? @above, i don't mind the tickets, i get nx from surveys so it's only 5mins and free :P

Kru/captains aren't what I/L mages normally train on. By all means, experiment with your training spots, but I'd recommend, like everyone else, Red Kents from 75 to around 80~85. It's very good exp but unfortunately, the pot burn is very high. >.> Death teddies are now considered old school with the new training spots everywhere :P

How much EXP do you get exactly from those red goblins on 1x/4x? If it's less than 200/800, go to white mama monkeys, seriously. Though they're like level 3X, their HP:EXP ratio is quite amazing. You'll probably 1HKO them. If not, try them anyways. I've heard you can leave with the NX Golden Tickets, and like go to another one.

just realized I'm not an archmage yet ~_~ but anyways the experimenting thing, I'm finally trying that out. Just wondering what kind of exp Mages got back in the day before the exp curve cause some of those spots I tried above were lik 20%/hr 0_O decent but.... as for red goblins, they give 336 exp, and now I'm 2hitting them most of the time :D if only I had an e3 wand ... you can leave with the NX tickets and the exp is better than mama monkeys even on 3hit KO

Oh. Well, I don't really remember the mama map, but if it is a huge spawn, and they have the same spawn, able to reach max potential in mobbing (6), you'd be getting like 800 EXP*6 (4 800) per ice strike for mama monkeys, and 560 EXP*6 (3 360) per ice strike at goblins. I guess red goblins seem better though then, from what you put.

I don't know if this is the best training spot, but I did jesters party from 7x~8x on my outlaw, and also met a bunch of i/l along the way, and the pot burn is almost nothing considering 1. you have freeze (no more magic attacks) 2. you can teleport (to more contact damage) 3. there are TONS of safe spots for i/l and f/p mages to spam explosion/IS, and on 4x exp with ring and hs, I leveled from 72 to like 80 something in 4 hrs, so I think it wont be that bad for now

you'd be right about the calculations. a few things though: it's hard to kill a mob of 6 monkeys as only the bottom gets more than 4 and my range cannot go that far I overkill mamas, so I suspect I'll be minutes ahead of the respawn rate. Red goblins spawn more monsters and the map is smaller. I can also reach the bottom from the top with Ice Strike. I am interested in trying still. I re-did some calculations and if mama monkeys spawned as much as red goblins, the exp gain would be ridiculous. as for red kents, I might go there for now, I'm getting used to the map but I still want an e3 wand :P for jesters, I'll see if I can get in a party of those 0_o I do wish I had seal for the kents tho

yeah i dislike goblins incredibly. Red kents are awesome exp but it seriously helps if you have a pet with auto loot and auto pot. Your expenses from pot use should be covered by the drops. Oh and you should be able to pull 30-40% an hour at red kents on 1x EXP. At least thats what I made.

You'll be fine without seal. Freeze them, and they can't use their "spear throw" at you.

JustBlazeddd 07/19/10 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

and then you get too much spawning near you (6 is the most IS can hit right?)

Yeah. There's a guide on youtube, but it wads fairly easy for me before it was even released anyways. You'll be able to find it on kirbyhyper's channel.

thanks to some luck, i got another ticket and spent some time comparing using meditation as a timer and rounding it's time to 3 mins (too lazy to use the timer) red goblins > mama monkeys by around .5-.7% I can also now 2HKO Red Goblins nearly 100% of the time :D, the exp rate has gone higher too :P but this is all based on 3mins I think it's cause of the map I can hit all goblins by remaining on the top platforms, whereas I can only do that on one of the two platforms @ mama monkeys. I think the numbers spawned are roughly the same, but the difference comes in with the respawn rate and needing to kill the same amount before respawn. and it';s a bit harder to clear the map on mama's than goblins. I saw some of her vids yesterday but the one about kents has been erased from my memory :P how long do I go to kents btw, since GT may end in like 2 days and it's going to be boring 1HKO pretty soon
