I apologize in advance for the amount of questions, I did try looking up some of them but I think these questions are specific and subjective. I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I'm in the process purchasing INT equips with hopes of making a corsair and a mage to leech it with. In order to reach my HP goals for the corsair, it looks like I'm gonna have to MP wash it. Is it true that when leeching with low level bishops(I've seen less than level 125 or 130 referenced), that the leecher gets more EXP? Therefore, is it worth the time to make a secondary bishop for this specific purpose, or is the EXP difference negligible and leeching with a high level bishop/archmage(level 130+) would be fine? Now for HP goals. What kind of relevant damage does HT do against corsair? I've read that 9K HP is a good goal for sairs to survive HT without HB. However, I'd also like to bank some MP in the event that Pink Bean is released(soonTM). What HP should a corsair have to do Pink Bean, disregarding touch damage(I think I can avoid PB touch)? Does MW20 affect MP washing, and does it round down? Is MW20 a worthwhile investment for this purpose, if I am self leeching? Finally, is it cheaper to fund a Night Lord or a corsair?
To answer your first question, yes leeching from a low level bishop is definitely worth it, although idk if it makes up the time for making a new bishop. You'll also need to consider how funded you would need to be to 1hko mobs for efficient leech. I just leeched my nub on my 200 bishop and it wasn't bad, but even leech from a 180 bishop was noticeably faster. You can survive HT with 7.8k HP but that would mean staying at the top of the map, fighting the heads pretty much the whole time. To avoid that you'll want 9.1k. Honestly I don't think PB will come within the year, but having bonus MP wouldn't be a bad idea. For that you'll want 18k HP for magic damage. But for corsairs I'm not exactly sure you'd want to wash that high because of the ship mechanics. I'm no sair pro though, so don't take my word on that last part. MW20 does not affect MP washing, only base int. It does affect normal washing though, so it could be the difference between 200 and 220 int, for example, depending on your base int. And yes, it always rounds down. If you're MP washing it's probably not worth it though. Corsair would be cheaper, but NL does more damage and is probably easier to play.
Monster XP * (0.8 * Player level / Total party level) * 150% (Only if you have maxed Holy Symbol) This is the formula for the exp you'r leech will get (your future sair in you'r case). As you can see, the higher the total party level is, the fewer the exp you'r future sair will get. And that's why lower level bishops may be better (Although in my opinion, creating a new bishop only for leeching you'r new character efficiently isn't worth it). As for the discussion about HP, accourding to the crosair guide by Exalon, crosairs have no need in more than 5.5k hp, since when you get 1/1 attacks, you'r ship will lose the HP you'r crosair have. For example, if you washed you'r crosair to 30k hp, and you get 1/1 attack, your ship will suffer a damage of 29,999HP!, an thus will be destroyed faster. The ship's HP formula is: [(Skill Level) * 4000)] + [(Character Level - 120) * 2000]. Rob has answered the rest of the answers, but I'd like to give you my answer about NLs vs Crosairs. In one hand, NLs have more avoidability compared to Crosairs, and their power is maximized with Sharp eyes and attack potions. On the other hand, Crosairs' attack speed is maximized only with speed infusion (as their attack speed isn't 2, compared to NLs), and you are more depanded on your playing skills, as it requires some experience to know how to maitain your ship as long as you can . HOWEVER, Crosairs are way cheaper to fund, and some people would say that with speed infusion they are stronger than NLs. I hope I helped, and Gl in game . Edit: I took Leeche exp formula from Plenty's Leeching guide https://royals.ms/forum/threads/leeching-guide.12989/ and the information about Crosair's HP requirements from Exalon's Crosair guide https://royals.ms/forum/threads/the-perfect-corsair-corsair-guide-by-intensity.13594/
