Typhon Training

I trained here for today's 2x event and got 32% in about an hour. It was really great. (note that I wasn't using a card so that'd be close to 16% at 1x) It's by far one of the best spots I've ever been able to train at.

I trained there last night and got 12-15%/hr. I just stand in one spot and spam eruption. It would be better to split the map with someone. The only problem with this map is getting knocked off and the 2:1 HP:MP usage.

Then would pizzas be a reasonable training pot to use here then?:f6:

I seem to use those a lot more than the barbarians (unless i have too much MP already). I don't even need to use my soceror elixirs... the barbarians and the socerors are more there for the trip to the JQ... I hate that walk

I still need a way to make money... I fail at that part. I lose at least 100k per round of 11 ish % an hour.

I'm not sure that you could split it well, since there's not really another good spot to stand at aside from the center. Anyway, whenever I started running low on Typhons I'd just go into the MTS (toss a few scrolls in there to make space while I'm at it) and then come out, and they'd all be drawn back from the bottom.

Is it some kind of reverse-aggro glitch?

lol, yea. Could these be maple's first smart monsters? Where when you are on a mass genocidal rage of their species they actually go away from you!

Reverse-aggro? :f6: That's interesting. No wonder the spawn dies unless I move.

I forgot all about the pizzas since I've been using barb and sorc combo for the last I-don't-know-how-many levels. Although, I tested it again last night and the ratio is more like 3:1.

You could share the map with those thieves that I always see, since all they want are the eggs up there, I assume.

More likely they just get stuck on the edge of the map, a la Goby

yeah, that's what happens, it just goes on at the bottom instead of the top here. It's especially a problem if you have to use bomb.

Is there an easier way to get to Typhons? cause Forgotten path is a pain in the ass. I have all the maps and junk (except the code piece, but i can get that later..), but there isn't a faster, easier way to the keep without using Forgotten path is there?

I waste MORE pots trying to get there than training... which shouldn't happen... I might make some cash if it weren't for the fricken path...

No, you must pass through forgotten path to get to the mountain.

I tried this place yesterday and it was fantastic... with strafe, it was 500+ exp/strafe, which is more than newties for me. To top it off, you're mostly using rain so it's even better. I even made 16 dark scrolls in under an hour, often getting 2 from 1 egg (although apparently they killed the drop rate in the server check )

After about 30 minutes, though, the exp really slowed down. When I eventually got blown off the map, I noticed that over half the spawn was stuck at the bottom of the map. Is there a good way to unstick them to keep the exp flowing?

edit: ... and I just saw John's post on page 1... Disregard my question. :-P

I think they did take away the insane drop rate of the eggs now with the Server check... Any way to make money now? xD

They did, so now its just good exp. Did BF/Pot shop/ DB glitch/ puppet glitch get fixed?

Leprachauns =D.

Indeed, if you can, get a lower leveled char (preferably ranged) who can kill both Leps between respawn ticks. You can train them up decently by repeating Fool's Gold, and you get a nice 1m/hour.

Unless their money drop was fixed too...

Even if they can use their lollipop (can they now?), it's not too big a problem for ranged chars, so it's good as long as the money drop stays.

I can hit all three Leprechauns on Creeping Evil without moving much at all.

They're arranged like this
o------------Xo-----o

Just stand where the X is and you can hit all three easily.

I'm both happy and sad that Baby Typhons were fixed.

All my drops I found will finally be worth something again, but at the same time I lost another money source. Boooo.

I don't think the Leps are fixed. Otherwise that would start popping up here (In the Pits, no doubt).

That's gonna be a pretty dangerous place to stand when they give them MP back.
