Alright guys... yo! Basically, I've been searching far and wide for guides on training and stuff and with what little I saw I decided to try follow through and test the methods (spamming Mist or the 2nd job poison skill and basically doing a hit n run). The thing is I'm not sure what mobs are actually weak to poison or whether it's fire they should be weak to for this to work (I've checked the datatbase but it just doesn't seem right). Jr Selkie mob for example is supposed to be weak to FP but takes considerably lower damage than a Death Teddy does, which I'm assuming is a higher level because it hits me higher, much higher. I'm not too sure where tot rain after hitting 72 and haven't been able to find much guidance. Just hitting 500s at Death Teddies with poison doesn't seem fun, although I'm not sure if it's the way it's supposed to be or if I'm doing this completely wrong. Any FPs could atleast throw me in the right direction? Thanks.
Use Poison Mist and train at high HP, high exp mobs. It doesn't matter if they're weak to poison or fire, they just need to NOT be immune to poison. Basically just ensure you can hit the mobs with your initial Poison Mist, they will then be poisoned and their HP will dwindle with poison. You train at high level mobs because Poison mist damage (from being poisoned, not from your initial hit) is based on percentage of the monster's HP, not your Magic stat, so you can take down high HP mobs. Any monster who's fully poisoned will be left with 1 HP so you can kill it with Magic Claw/Poison Breath/physical attack (not recommended lol). By the time you max Poison Mist, as long as you hit the monsters, they'd all be left with 1 HP eventually which makes it possible to kill them; at lower levels of Poison Mist you might have to do 2 rounds of misting before they hit the minimum 1 HP.
At the level of 74 with level 6 Mist and crap gear (new here) where do you think I should head for? Skeles or something?
For Poison training, you'll need to manage two channels and swap between them while poisoning all the monsters in that map. After poisoning you've poisoned both channels, the monsters you poisoned initially will only have 1 HP left for you to dispatch with Magic Claw or Fire Arrow. This training is effective at monsters that have high HP like Ulu City monsters. For now, I'd just train with Fire Arrow at Jr. Selkie or Voodoos until level 75 where you can buy an hour of leech at Wolf Spiders to get to a decent training level of Poison Mist. After that, just head to Petrifighters and use Poison Mist in two channels until level 120.
Haha you should be at level 13 mist by now I've never played an F/P prior to this one so I understand the learning curve is crazy hard and you will die plenty of times, but still you'll level faster than most at 3rd job. I'd suggest Wolf Spiders or Death Teddies at that level. What I usually do is go back to something easier (like Voodoos lol) when I feel discouraged from dying too much, but yeah for now those 2 above would be great. I've heard Blue Kents are good as well. Go to Skeles once you can hit them, which honestly I'm not entirely sure when that'll be; I've seen people go around level 80 and above. Personal opinion, but I hate misting at Skeles because they are one of the most, if not the most, fiercely competed for map in Royals and it'll be difficult for a lower level to compete for a channel, much less 2 channels (since dual channeling maximizes our efficiency at misting, but people kept giving me crap for taking 2 channels ): ) I essentially stayed at Ulu City Centre instead to mist Petrifighters from level 90+ to 120, which in my opinion is a very viable alternative EXP-wise in comparison to Skeles.
I see I see so I'm heading in the direction of MP3 as we speak, isn't soloing that really slow though? Ahah I guess there's no other way right? But I've had 1 SP at 70, 1 went into Explosion at 71 and since then the rest have been put on Mist is there something I'm missing? Or should I have saved SP? Didn't know I could do that lool
It's rough for a lot of classes at this point. Just get through it and you'll be getting the highest XP rates of any classes regardless of funding.
Just saying you should've pumped Mist all the way since your job advancement, but it's ok just keep pumping Mist now. And really, F/P 3rd job training is the furthest thing from slow, especially once you get maxed Mist (and max Explosion helps too)
