Ah, screw it. It's pretty clear that I won't be updating anymore. If anyone wants to repost this, they can.

Sage Cats take up a lot of HP. I suppose you could lure them into a corner, climb up, cast Puppet, and kill them all. That would take a long time though, as there's at least 15 down there after you kill the top."

Hm, maybe 65 is too low for them then.

I haven't had any such problems at sage cats. I barely used any pots actually. Maybe strafe and being able to consistently KB goes a long way on the map. Sometimes the bottom does get cluttered if you're on the top too long, but they're skinny monsters so it's easy to find a gap, jump in and IA away until you've mobbed them all to death.

I'd compare Book Ghosts to FoG.

book ghosts was really good for me (especially now, with the revamped map). only slightly worse than v/hoodoos, as stated above - problem is your moving around more, so you might need speed pills to maintain a good pph.

and sage cats - the ONLY DROP i've ever gotten from them was earring int 60%'s, and they drop pretty often (i got 4 of them in 3 hours). definitely good for your money to go there, way better than anywhere else except at pirates with a pet (for me)

went to both at lvl 80, mind you. i could go back and retest using just double shot, bomb and a clean kandiva to get similar results to lvl 60/70's training there. pm me if you want me to field test.

edit: i think something of note is that kappas drop bow 60's. dunno if you want to include that or not.

Ig, I'll try out book ghosts and sage cats with you since I don't intend to train at Hoodoos during double exp. I'ma go mess around in Showa for a bit and then we can try it out since I'm already in Mu Lung

For the PQ part, Hene PQ is actually level 10-200, not 1-200 =D

Nice guide!

Anyways, training spots depends on your equips/damage. I would assume that you are above average."

Is it more effective to train with IA or Strafe at Hoodoos and if it's IA at what level would Strafe become more effective (if ever)

You gotta list what levels each training place is for.

the ideal level in which you should train at the place should be added.
Ex.
Jr. Wraiths (35 -39)
Spawn: High
Training Cost: Moderate-High
Movement: Moderate
EXP/HP: 1/17.1
Overall Rating: A

I Recommend: Good level Bomb/IA (especially IA), and/or FA

Notes: This map consists of one long flat area (you'll run into several more of these). Maps like these generally have the same set of pros and cons. Since the terrain is flat, you won't run into the problems archers have with elevation and shooting. Also, having all the monsters on one platform makes it easy to manage mobs, since there are no natural partitions. However, this also means there are no safe/sniping points, and nowhere to escape from minimum range, which leads to taking more damage.
