Hey guys! I was watching some SprintFast videos (Great channel BTW) and noticed he has a 120 bishop and a 146 fire poison mage. Is there any reason most people try to keep them at those levels? is it bad to level up my bishop to 121? and why have a fire poison when you already have a bishop to leach? wouldn't it be easier to level the bishop all the way to 120? Sorry for all the questions
An Arch Mage (I/L or F/P) is stronger then a Bishop so at a lower level and less TMA they can leech on higher places. If you look at this table you can understand what I mean; If you check this table out you can see that as a Bishop you need 1190 Magic with Genesis 30 to 1-hit at Ulu2 while needing only 919 Magic to 1-hit with Meteor\Blizzard 30. It's even more noticable at Petri's - 1260 TMA for an Arch Mage vs 1600 as a Bishop which is a VERY high requirement. Now as for your other questions; you can use a Bishop only to sell leech but that would mean that you will probably never sell Petris. If you plan on selling Petris you will need to have an Arch Mage to be the leecher and an HS mule. You can have any level Bishop act as an HS mule but then you will need to put it into the lounge/cash shop and bring him back to map only when you need to HS so they don't leech exp, if you prefer not doing that you can make a lower level Priest just to act as an HS mule without leeching exp. Basically, it depends on what your plan is. What maps do you want to leech on? Do you want to be able to leech at Petris or not? etc... Some Bishops stay at the minimum level for Genesis(120) to be as as efficient as possible for lower level leeches. That's it, I guess?
Thanks a lot for that informative (and fast) reply!!! So as the level of the leecher increases the less exp the leeches get? I want to get a night lord to level 135 by self-leeching so i'll probably create a fire poison as well in order to leech in high-level areas.
Yes, the higher the seller level the less exp the buyers will get (since the total party level is higher). If you plan on making an Arch Mage to self leech and probably sell leech later you will want to make an HS mule. I would recommend leaving it at the minimum level after maxing HS which is at level 82 iirc (making it a level 85 would make it get exp from Ulu1 which then you will need to move it to NX/lounge every time you leech on Ulu1 or higher). edit; forgot to mention that Arch Mage skillbooks are much cheaper then Bishop's which is a plus!
You da beast! Since I already have a 120 bishop I guess i'll need to do this cash shop trick (which I also did not know) . Thanks a lot for all the help
