Yeah, if you just buy a zelm from them for whatever price you could probably shoot it a few times if you wanted XD Most guilds don't want you too though. Just stand in the corner til they tell you to loot XD

Sky Nest 1/2 are like annoying. With curses that make you unable to jump and the other one that disables your accuracy @_@


EDIT: IMO, at least every 5 seconds, you get hit by 1 k damage, and the blood hafs weakens you so you are unable to jump. The regular Haf uses darkness to lower your accuracy. Sky Nest 2 has both of the Hafs. So your going to get weakened and lose accuracy. Also, each time you kill a haf, it can spawn anywhere, messing up your mobs and sniping spot >_>
I even tried utilizing it with puppet. Didn't work ._. But it might work if you have a high leveled puppet
But someone can prove me wrong.


Valley of Antelope
It is hella pot consuming. There are those moles that pop outta nowhere and stun you. Theres at least 2 on each plat. Also the Birks and Dual birks have defense up and attack up. It raises their damage by 200. But if you do decide to train there, you must have a high level of puppet @_@

Sky Nest 1/2 wasn't too annoying with 11 Blizzard. I think I was getting something like 5%/hr though, and burning as many pots per % as Copious at Blue Kents.

Even Newties w/o Hawk is better >_> I tried there measuring, just for comparison, and it was like 10%/hr until I ended up sniping the bottom transforming one for some reason, and after killing a few nest golems with constant freeze I messed up my Blizzard timing and got OHKO'd.

And I kept dying at Valley of Antelope.

Yeah Free, I know I'm abusing your sniper, but at least I'm getting a perspective on training spots I could only guess on in the past.
(I... epicly suck at gobies.)

It's alright, it is what he is there for. Sounds like the percent per hour for the Sky Nests seems correct. When I tried that place for the little time I did it was hard to snipe anything because you had to be on the same platform as the monster, and the only way to securely not be weakned or blinded was to use Blizzard. I personally don't like that map, Birks are ok also. The map right before the 4th job instructor map is ok until you have to go down the ramps on the various platforms, then thats where Bowmen have trouble. The only thing you can do about that is to lure them with Arrow Rain/ Eruption then place a Puppet a little bit away, then just pummel them with Strafes. The other Birk map with the three flat platforms is a little bit better, as long as you aren't soloing it. I say this because the bottom is very hard to manage, especially if you start from the bottom right or left and try to kill the middle bottom. Also the spawn is high so you end up using a lot of potions there.

Oh yeah, if you want to get used to Gobies I suggest Squids in the first map as a warm up. Squids have high touch damage when they spawn on you, you get a bit better at swim Strafing/Arrow Eruptioning, and also there are three Goby houses to practice on. It is good because you can learn how to approach Goby Houses, know how far away you should be so they don't activate their Super Defence up and their magic attack while not being bothered by Bone Fish that are really annoying. Also helps on timing your Blizzard when the Gobies come out and using AE agianst them. :D

Well, rangers don't have blizzard so we kind of burn more pots than snipers =/
So Sky Nest 1/2 with Valley of Antelopes is a no-no for rangers T_T

Level 110 is the generally accepted level. Now with HornTail its not uncommon to see level 100 attackers (including bowmen) in a zak run.

I'd just like to get some clarification...what's the difference between training on squids at Dangerous Sea Gorge I and II that makes the level requirements and skill requirements so much higher? I mean, they're the same monsters, right? Is it just the map layout or something?

Small typo at the end of the Pirate Den 3 notes. mke, should be "make".

And there's a faster/better way to get to hoodoos/voodoos than the way you have written down. It's about 5-10 seconds faster, which DOES make a difference when you're racing a training competitor there. It's posted somewhere at AGF...


ROFLCOPTER @ Jewties. Kill them dam Jewties.
And for 80+ Jewties, training cost is quite HIGH if you rely on Hawk/Eagle. For one: they will NOT have reliable stun at 8X, and probably not at 9X. You will get hit for 2K damage once every few Jewties, and you have to use pots immediately. For two: if you're going to have constant hawk/eagle out, the summoning rocks are going to start adding up. For three: you can't loot without seriously risking death.
As for your comments about the Nest Golems... once you're on the "safe" middle two left platforms and after you've started training, you shouldn't have to worry about Nest Golems unless someone else kills the far right Newties.

The first Squid map is usually soloed were as the second Squid map you'll be in a party. The level is higher because you want to be able to leech exp from your party.

Edit: So yes it is because of the map layout, but it is actually not a bad map. I perfer the first map though.

You got to keep in mind that Dangerous Sea Gorge 2 has way more sniping spots. I can utilize puppet so well and use the sniping spots that i barely use 50 HP pots per hour. It's usually down by 30.

Yeah, Squids 2 is usually squid parties, and if you're under level 92 you don't get exp from their kills.

I don't know what the level req would be if you were to try soloing it, though.
