IsaacGS Wrote:Golems are terrible. Level 40, roids at C-1. Level 50, go to Windraiders, level 73 or so, go to Typhons.

Shadow Trainer Wrote:I agree with Isaac. Just Wind Break roids left to right and finish them off in a corner, nice flat map and you'll be doing quite a nice amount of damage.

The next step would be Windraiders, again just Storm Break them to an edge. If you can't find a map at Lower Ascent, make an extra effort to go to Tornado Corridor inside Crimsonwood Keep, it's the farthest door to the left of the bottom floor.

What he meant when you move to Typhons at 73 or so is when you have a level 9 Arrow Rain. If you didn't touch any other skills, you'll have it at 73 but if you decided to put points into Eagle Eye, Wind Shot, and Wind Piercing like I did, you'll have it by 74.

I suggest after you have maxed Arrow Rain at 77-78 then start maxing Eagle Eye for the shorter cooldown period where you're only untransformed 1/3 of the time. Afterwards start out on Wind Piercing so you can start on Himes or Newties at 87 whilst taking down the whole map (making sure Nest Golems don't 1 shot you).

I made a mistake of going for Wind Shot first and that's fine and dandy if you want to show off from time to time and still train at Typhons until 94.

IsaacGS Wrote:For windraiders, I would actually recommend taking the top of one of the Crossroads when you first start on them; you can stay out of their attack range and get used to their movements before moving to one of the bigger maps. I spent most of my time at Tornado Corridor, it's a really good map for Wind Archers.

I've stayed at Typhons to 94, and it's still amazing EXP. Today i was going to try Newties, but I doubt it will be as good as it is for BMs because Wind Archers have no way to disable them from attacking, which means a lot of damage, and Nest Golems are going to be extremely dangerous.


yeah I just tried sniping newties, it was only 25%/hour on 1x vs. 53%/hour at typhons on 1x. Newties suck, unless someone can explain a better way to do it. I don't know how to without hawk.

MasPan Wrote:The problem with Crossroads is that the spawn runs out really quickly if you are doing any kind of decent damage, especially with a mob attack.

Shadow Trainer Wrote:Yeah that's why he said to start out to get the feel of the attack range of the Windraiders as the range of Storm Break is slightly longer than the range of WR attacks. But I guess you could just as easily learn to figure out their range training in Lower Acent/Tornado Corridor with a faster spawn.

I decided to go try it but I figured that since it took so long to kill one Windraiders would still be better.

IsaacGS Wrote:doesn't matter cause you're not killing one, you're killing 6 at a time. Yeah it's gonna be busy but keep in mind they give 4x as much exp as windraiders so if it takes twice as long to kill, it's still better exp.
