Kritias as a replace for Future Ereve?

I write to reaffirm the incredible viability of the Corrupted Magicians maps for training, especially for Luminous. All 3 of them have safe spots (Advanced one is risky). The Basic one is the safest, but the top platform needs clearing because Reflection doesn't bounce upwards very well (has got to do with its mechanics, of which it's still rather like a black box). Mages do best here due to high MDEF, just try not to keep kissing them.

Littered all over Kritas are maps with safe spots for AFKing. Those are extremely viable for long-term training, and make a suitable alternative to AMG, particularly if you are past AMG's level. For classes that train by large AoE skills (e.g. BaM's Sweeping Staff, DS' Demon Cry etc) the maps lying in a circle (not the ends of the branches) are generally smaller. The wand monsters have too large an AoE attack for comfort though.

Note that the upper level monsters in Kritas will only appear after you finish the main quest line.
