Respawn timer on mobs is ~8 seconds while genesis cast time is 2.7s. This means that in each respawn cycle, we can use genesis twice and have ~2.6 seconds to move. If we telecast, this is enough time to move between two important spots (or "nodes") in a map without straining. This idea leads to a very paced, efficient style of leeching that is resistant to small mistakes and is very flexible to fit any map. Below are some examples of this idea for common leeching locations, these rotations are mostly not hard to execute and extremely hard to beat. [This is a remake of Graciela's previous thread with the same title, which was deleted.] The easiest maps to understand this idea are flat maps with two nodes: ulu2, mb2 and sb. I suggest looking at those videos carefully first if this concept is new to you. Here's how it works in these maps: 1) hit the first node, wait for respawn 2) hit the first node again with tc, move to second node 3) hit the second node, wait for respawn 4) hit the second node again with tc, move to first node and repeat. In order to buff (HS, MW) it's best to do it on a rope since it removes the cast backswing time, and you should aim to do it in a way that does not miss a step in your cycle. The faster you can execute your cycles, the more slack time you will start to build up, that you can then consume to buff. Spoiler: ulu2 Spoiler: mb2 Spoiler: sb Spoiler: wr Still a two-node map, but with a very long path from node 1 to node 2. Spoiler: ftp1 The tightest two-node map. Buff on the rope by the bottom node. For three-node maps, we repeat the same idea by visiting each node one by one and hitting it twice, once before respawn and once after respawn, repeating the [wait, tc, wait, tc...] pattern on ultimate casts. Spoiler: ulu1 Example where you can miss every telecast, and still easily make the nodes in time. Spoiler: skeles Max jump helps with the tightest move, from bottom left to top node. See https://royals.ms/forum/threads/a-guide-to-ehuds-skele-leech-map-rotation.152768/ for more information. Spoiler: master chronos Tricky positioning to get the tc from bottom left to top. Spoiler: mb1 The top node (3) is not as good as the two bottom nodes (1,2), and we can not get from node 3 to node 1 in time. Therefore, instead of visiting each node in order as before (1,1,2,2,3,3,2,2,1,1...), we can skip a step (1,1,2,3,2,2,1,1...) for better efficiency. Spoiler: platoon chronos Same idea as before, top node is isolated and smaller, so we don't have to visit it every cycle. Do let me know if you want to see any other maps, or if you have alternate rotations that might be better for a particular map. Leech is expensive, demand high quality from your sellers!

Thank you for this, this is a really wonderful resource. I kind of stumbled on the hit-hit travel hit-hit pattern, but it's good to see actual confirmation and more detailed instruction that that's the way to do it. How important would you say telecasting is compared to just fundamental rotations and map knowledge? For the life of me I cannot get it near consistently, and even if I start to be able to I'm not sure I can (or want) to do it for 1-2 hours straight; I'm completely fine with selling leech for a lower rate if it's understood that's not an expectation from the buyer, and so far that's been working out ok for me with lower level leech, but the higher level maps seem a bit more demanding from what I've been seeing in the buying smegas
It depends on the map. As you can see in the ulu1 example, you can get away with missing a lot of tcs and still make the cycle. But on tight maps like ftp1 missing tc will mean you miss the hit entirely, a potential loss of ~4 seconds of effective leech time for each miss if you dont do some recovery. In most maps you can recover in a lot of cases, by moving somewhere you can reasonably go before you miss the cycle, and just taking a hit there. Most important is to get two hits in per cycle, even if you cant make them optimal.
such a great guide, this is a life saver!! i just turned 120lvl and get my genesis today, did my first time leeching in ftp1, i do have a question, how do you loot the item that you wont go , for example , the most top lane and the most bottom lane, the item will vanish after 3min, do you loot it at all?
That's a good question, what I do in ulu/skeles is, every 3 minutes (you can use your cooldowns to time it, but a timer is better) I break the rotation and do a similar thing in the platforms with drops. In ulu that means I do a two-node rotation on the top platform once, with some extra telecasting so my pets will loot everything. If you are quick about it you won't lose much efficiency overall. The expectation is that the leech seller will loot their drops so don't worry about it. In ftp you can go to the bottom platform and telecast left into the teleporter, which sends you top, every 3 minutes.
I met a stupid ftp1 leech buyer,she asked me to tc from top to bottom and then teleport to the top through the bottom platform,so I refunded the money to her.
I think ftp1 3-node (bottom included) with teleport from bottom to top is a fair compromise if you can't execute the 2-node, some buyers might be used to it, but yes it is worse.
I leech my mule solo 1h 67-70,and split 70 0%exp to 72 60%+exp only two node,so i cant accept her way.I can't accept that people who don't know how to leech teach others how to leech.
You just stand at the edge of the middle platform and try to get all the harps with one shot per cycle. You can throw one more if the ones you missed come near you, but there's nothing else that you can do to get them all.
