Where to train to lvl 90?

So I am currently level 59 on my assassin. I decided to make one because I always found them very hard for me to level due to the lack of no mob hitting skill in 2nd job. Well like i said I am level 59 right now. I have been going back and forth between scarecrows and the white wolf things in el nath (forgot the name) I was wondering if there is a better place to train. I have tried twisted jesters but due to my lack of funding in the thief class I don't hit very high and it takes a little longer than I would want to kill one at this point. So I was hoping some of you could give me some ideas of where I could train to get to level 90. Thank you!

[quote=Higguz]Wouldnt SP be more efficient though? Say your range is 5000. Avenger at level 1 is 324% so 5000* 3.24 = 16 200*1.5(Shadow Partner) =24 300
Now maxing Avenger gives 400% so 5000*4 = 20 000

Graphing it on excel will show that by [i]strictly[/i] only the damage done on one monster, that would be [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/7/avengervsspanalysisbyon.jpg/]true[/url]; however, if you factor in the number of hits avenger hits at a time as you level it, you'll find that it quickly [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/31/avengervsspanalysisbyhi.jpg/]exceeds SP first[/url] if you do it in those terms.

looks like i forgot to label my axes...
for x-axis, the 0 - 13 represents the levels 70-83 respectively
for y-axis, the values represent their % damage dealt to the respective number of monsters divided by 100% (So a value of 5 would equal 500% on that axis, 34 = 3400%, etc).

the spikes in damage indicate the transition from 4 to 5 hit and 5 to 6 hit avenger.

Edit: For avenger first, I assumed that Lv. 1 SP was constantly used for calculation purposes; even without using Lv. 1 SP (+12%), you can tell by the spikes in the 2nd graph that going Avenger first w/o using SP obviously still dominates SP first.

@Higguz: Well I'm not big on the calculations but I know that maxing avenger then shadow partner worked very well for me. Using that build I was able to level up very fast. And also where do you get the 1.5 from? At max sp it gives 50% so wouldn't it be .5? Like I said I am not big on the calculations. Mainly because I'm not very good at math. But the 1.5 got me confused.

@TripleBladez I like your skill build. I maxed sp and avenger then I started putting points into dark flare. But I don't see myself using that any time soon since I started funding my hermit and it can kill mobs pretty fast. And I would think that flash jump would speed up training a little. Thanks for your input.

Personally, I'd go Avenger > SP > FJ > Alchemist > MU or DF > the one you didn't choose > Web > max out 2nd job skills with 2 in Meso.

I am now lvl 71 and I am maxing avenger first. I realized how strong it was when I first used and started hitting 15k. When I questioned the build I thought I would be hitting 1-2k. Thank you everyone. So should my build be Avenger>Shadow Partner> Then what? Flash jump? That shiny star thing?

@Chubsin They do drop a lot of rocks. I have saved up a little over 200 rocks before making my sin. But seeing other nls that doesn't seem like that much.

I did avenger and SP kind of at the same time since I didn't have that many rocks anyways >.<
Training at jesters will get you a ton of rocks though.

@bombinator Are you positive about maxing avenger first? All the guides have said to put 1 point in it then max shadow partner.
Edit: Never mind. Your idea sounds good to max it out. And thanks to both of you I am now lvl 70!

Take advantage of the Golden Temple monsters while it's still here.

Max out avenger; it's your only mobbing skill and shadow partner can wait.

[quote=BoxWoman]Twisted Jesters, not in the chimney area but in one of the rooms of the haunted house. It's usually less crowded than the chimney and only spawns 4 jesters at a time. Being a sin, this wouldn't be a problem since you can only attack one at a time. It's pretty fast experience up until 70. Once you get to 70, get avenger ASAP. For training, you can either stay at Jesters until 80, head over to Ariant and train there, or monster park. Once you get to 80, you can either train at roids in Magatia or head over to MP3 until 90.[/quote]

Alright thank you. When you say to get avenger asap, do you mean put one point in it then max shadow partner?
