If you can 100% 1-hit Blue Wyverns with Meteor, here's how you can make the map as fast as possible:
You start at the 2nd highest main platform, right in the middle. This isn't a snipe spot, unfortunately, so you're going to take some damage pretty much every time you reach this platform. But this is about training speed, not pot efficiency. Meteo the mob as soon as they spawn (you'll hit all of them), then immediately drop-jump straight down several times until you get to the small platform on the left side of your middle 'snipe spot' oval you drew. From that spot you can hit all the mobs on the two platforms below (unless they're hugging the left wall... not much you can do about that though). If you're quick at getting to that platform and using Meteo, the spawn will reappear as soon as the animation completely finishes. You can then immediately Meteo again (when you get good at this, you'll have to possibly wait a second or so until you see the mobs spawn on the right platform). Now, QUICKLY move to the left, and jump climb the rope. As soon as you finish climbing, teleport right once, putting you back on the original Meteo spot in the rotation. Use meteo quickly. As long as you were fast, (speed/jump items will be necessary here), then the spawn will come out right after you've killed the top mobs again. Now you've got to reset the spawn, by using Meteo once and staying up there. This gives you a small time window to rebuff if needed. The spawn will start again, and now you can repeat the entire cycle from the beginning.
Speed is essential here. No unecessary movement or time to rest until you've gotten back up to that single "rest" meteo at the top again.
Within 3 spawns, this pattern clears the entire map twice in a row, and clears the majority of it once. No partner necessary. How does an i/l arch who can 100% Red Wyverns compare?
Yes there are better maps, but when Newts/Skeles are hard to come by, this clearly wins for 3rd best, imo.
