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

Okay, so I'm going with the AE build, and I was wondering if I should stop it at lvl 21 or max it. The things on the guide sometimes say 21+ so I'm wondering if I should go for that +.
Pros and cons anybody?"
Depends how long you want to stay at Pirates or whatever. The higher the level of Arrow Eruption, the longer you maintain, or even increase, your percent per hour at Pirates. You will, however, have to stay there an extra 3 levels or so.

Those who want to go with a Strafe build will use the training maps listed in the 55-80 and 80+ spots. The Arrow Rain and Arrow Eruption builds have a different training method than usual so it needed its own spot.

can you add the "levels 20-25"? (just an example)

also, to everyone who has a stickied guide should fix their links to this new guide.

31-33 was at wooden and rocky mask, but then I went to the map to the right of New Leaf City with boomers, street slimes, and urban funguses and it trained me a lot faster. ADD THAT PLACE!

When AE/AR becomes effective, Gobys and Squids become much better training than VooHoos.

Not so much squids.

And yes, Gobies are good for AR/AE, however, if your strafe sucks you'll waste a lot of time taking down the Bonefish and even the Goby houses.
So for an extra few levels you stay at AE/AR oriented maps while you pump up your strafe.

Depends where you wanna train, depends on your damage range.

If you're set on going 30 AE before all else, then you'll be limited to either Hoodoos (good exp til about 84, 85 if you have good damage range) or Red Nose Pirate Den 3. You'd probably be able to Goby at 86 or 87 with 1 bliz and 18-21 strafe.

Buddy me in-game and I'll get you in Accuracy and I can show you what you'd end up doing at both those maps.

If you stop AE after 21 (which is what I did) then you'll be able to start pumping Strafe sooner. You won't be AS effective at AE/AR maps as you would with 30 AR, but you'll be quite a bit more versatile. You'll be able to go to other maps earlier.

The whole point of the AE build is to be able to get through your 7X faster, and still have a decent place at 8X to chill out at while pumping Strafe and puppet/bliz, preparing for your more dangerous maps.

I recommend you get to 21 AE, try out Hoodoos and Pirates Den 3, and if you like the playing style and risk-free training and good money that those places have to offer, and if you're prepared to stay there until late 8X, then you should max AE before concentrating on Strafe.

Yup. That's basically 55-80, and then when you're strong enough 80+.
