Because of that, most of the attackers that are higher-level than me (who I get the best experience with, yet they are happy to have me because of HS) train there. An exception would be many archmages, who would rather have the lower pot costs and similar exp (not quite as fast, usually) of Newts.
The thing about Gen 30 is:
1. I'm not counting everything on passing it on the first try. That kind of risk seems suicidal to me with only a 50% pass rate.
2. I can't afford even one Gen 30 book, whereas if I put less than 100mil into my equips and buying MW 20, I would be able to 2hko Skeles with level 20 MW and level 15 Gen (which has the same MP cost as level 30), and wait on Gen30 until I can 1hko. To me, it's worth it to wait a few extra levels of "only" getting 15-25%/hour before 2x to save several hundred million mesos...
Gen 30 still costs 250-300 mil in Bera. I don't know if you meant the old pre-box-event prices, though. I agree, Gen 30 is really, really nice. It has the most bang for your SP, certainly. I just don't feel it's worth it if I can manage to 2hko without it, and with a Gen closer to level 15 than level 20... Plus, I was referring more to your 12x, as the person above me suggested. I'd hazard a guess, based on myself and a bishop friend at the same level, that most new bishops can't handle -3500 MP at Skeles. We simply don't have the MP, because we are being hit all the time.
For soloing, Newts could be quite viable, though it personally irritates me to train there with the auto-aggro. (I hate getting knocked off platforms/ropes.) Since my last post, I trained at the minidungeon with a BM the same level as me, and it seemed fairly fast. Not as fast as with another bishop or an attacker at Skeles, though.
Perhaps... I'm just poor, and that colors my opinions.Also, I prefer to party rather than solo, since I feel like I'm missing the point of having HS if I solo...
Training with a DrK at skeles is always an option. They'd be happy for the exp, you'd get HB and faster exp in return.
