Clearing up the confusion on Sidekicks

[b]Some people don't get the hang of sidekick leech yet. If you havnt tried this, you're missing out big time.[/b]

[b]What is a sidekick[/b]
When you sidekick someone your EXP will be shared on a 6:4 ratio with them even if they are not in your party
You and your sidekick will get amazing buffs.
Leech your sidekick a certain amount of levels and you will get a medal.
Once you past level 120, you cannot sidekick anymore.
You cannot have more than one sidekick
You can end relationship with your sidekick whenever you wish.

[b]What is sidekick Leech?[/b]
This is exactly like any other leech except [b]you don't even have to be in a party[/b]
You can sidekick anyone from lvl 15-120 and whenever you're in the same map the EXP gets split like it does in a normal party.
As long as your sidekick is in the same map as you, you gain a ratio of 6:4 EXP even if you're not in the 'traditional leeching lvl'

[b]How fast is it..?[/b]
Extremely fast.�
A level 15 leeching at Capts/Mp3 could be a lvl 50 in minutes.
Leeching tends to slow down after lvl 80.

[b]Best Place to leech..?[/b]
TJ, MP3, and Captains are the 3 best places to leech.

[b]Looking for a good leecher..?[/b]
If you are buying leech, I recommend you buying from a lvl 120 KoC
KoC are currently the best leeching class due to their over average AP boost.

[b]Disappointment.[/b]
2 Years ago Nexon changed the EXP ratio to 8:2 to try and prevent leeching.
Last year they put a 30Sec cool down on mages during bigbang. I understand 'Ksing' had a part to do in this too. But srsly did the ksing stop..? Look at all the Evan and DW.
Now sidekick is out, the EXP ratio is changed back to 6:4
You can leech anywhere starting at lvl 15
You can level even faster than previous leeching method.
As a player which [b]every single Mage[/b] this kinda enrage me a bit.

[b]Keep in mind..[/b]
Make sure you add your AP every level so you won't get under average Hp/Mp, many people just leave it then add like 85 SP when they're finish leeching.
Make sure you don't accidentally waste your SP on the wrong job adv.
Beware of scammers when you're buying leech. Look at their guild, armor and fame before you buy. Make sure they're legit.

[b]On a good note[/b]
Sidekick is one of the most amazing release
No more grinding and no more hell levels!
You can simply get to 3rd job in approximately 2hours (:
So i hope you guys have fun with the new system!
