    duku has more EXP than skele/petris, and i really dont see anyone buying/selling for skele leech anymore (occasionally the petri seller). it doesn't take huge investment to 2 hit dukus either, neither do you need skill like the following thread, so wad is a high lvl bishop good for other than for HT?

    I think what people fail to realize is that you're never going to get 42m+ xp (which many duku sellers are advertising nowadays) if you're leeching a lvl110 character.

    From my own experience (leeching over 6 of my own chars from 108-135+ at skeles) i'm yielding more xp/hour at skeles using Ehud's rotation than from buying duku.

    The only time i'm getting more xp/hr at dukus is when my char is lv12x+ AND my seller has all mages at 130.

    Correct me if i'm wrong though maybe i've just been buying from terrible duku sellers.

    I understand your frustration. With the current meta, it feel like you are punished for level up. As skele leech is 108 and people usually only buy 1 hour leech then go to Duku. It is pretty pointless to level up now aside for lvl 200 Echo mule and I regret burning 13 gen 30.
    These are some choice if you want to continue sell leech:
    - Make a low level archmage to sell Ulu2 leech
    - Make a low level bishop to sell low lvl leech, easiest to find buyers
    - Save money for high end PC so you can trio Duku.

    As for me, I will continue to lvl up this echo mule and see how much meso i can make without sselling leech.

    On the real though, you need pretty godly gear to 2hit Duku as a Bishop with Gen30 and even godlier gear with Gen20.

    It also depends on how you define "huge investment" to 2hit duku with 3 seperate mages, one being a BS. I would challenge you to make your own trio duku set-up and output top-tier EXP/hour before you make these presumptions.

    The fund to 2 hit Duku at around lvl 135+ is similar to fund a bishop to 1 hit skele at at 15x or even less, plus you can buy 20 matt pots in NLC to reduce requirement.
    Real challenge is more of real life advantage, when you need to build a high spec PC to handle 3 clients spamming mages FMA.

    The amount of meso you make along the way to 200 is pretty good though. think of it as you pay more time to have an echo mule and 2 more chances to join bossing party for fun.

    If you do this there are only 2 leech slots, so you would make less profit selling split vs trio.

    You could party kick to address this, but the shuffling would become aids while also having to control multiple clients.
