*If anyone thinks this should go to the Training Center or another Maplestory related section, feel free to move it there.*
I got REALLY bored and started looking at how badly Archmages rape Wyvern maps, and decided to do a side-by-side comparison on seeing which map would in theory have the most hax spawn. Pardon my chicken scratch. Hopefully, this can improve the training speed/efficiency of Archmages, and give Bishops an idea of where is better for those that sell leech for the mesos.

As you can see, Both hidden street maps are created in such a way that to clear all Wyverns on the map, you MUST get to 2 spots. There is not one spot that let's one nuke the whole map like Sky Nest II.
Red Wyverns offer a sniping spot that will blast 3 lanes worth of Wyverns, but you still gotta travel down to the square to nuke the last lane of Wyverns, which can be troublesome because in the meantime you will blast Wyverns on the same platform as you as you kill the bottom ones.
Blue Wyverns can be said to be a little safer, because there are only 3 lanes worth of Wyverns to nuke. However, I will go out on a limb and say that the spawn is slightly worse than Red Wyverns. The top 2 lanes has a spot to snipe nuke both lanes. There is then the middle platform that spawns absolutely nothing but allows one to blast the entire 3rd lane of Wyverns without having to get hit, unlike Red Wyverns with the square spot you got to stand in to get the bottom.
For both maps, just want to leave a little note that I have no idea how the spawn rate is.
Any Archmages think I hit it on the nail where the best spots are to nuke with ultimates? What do Bishops think in terms of which spot is better/less of a pain to leech someone until the famed level of 105 where it's Newties all the way?
For Bishops: Red Wyverns have an HP:EXP ratio of 21.2, while Blue Wyverns have an HP:EXP ratio of ~18.69. A lower HP:EXP ratio is better because it means more bang for your buck if you can 1/2 shot both.
If no one finds it useful, it's ok. Boredom can make me do or think about very weird things.
