Heya, been playing for about a week now, need some opinions from veterans! Should I leave my priest at max HS (lv82) permanently, or fully level her? Permanent Lv82: Great HS mule that doesn't need to kick from party/cash shop. Doesn't leech EXP from my character or customer if selling leech for most scenario. Don't need to invest any money, and if a F/P AM is made later, can farm late game content basically naked Fully level: Can eventually evolve into HS+MW20 mule if rich and lucky Can provide res in boss party Wont leech EXP as long go through the trouble to kick/reinvite/cashshop Going to need a lot of mesos to gear and SB for a job that is suppose to make money to fund other characters Did I miss anything obvious? I started having this question because I noticed most of the time, people don't actually "want" a bishop, but just Holy Symbol, and even talking about selling leech, a lot less money and gear is needed if I just do F/P+HS instead of gearing Bishop to gg gear for leech. And from what I understand, the optimal boss party often dont share exp to Bishop, just HS and kick from party, since Bishop dont benefit much from extra level past a certain point? I'll appreciate input and insights!
There is none superior to the other. It's all about what you prefer to do. If it's purely for earning mesos, then leave your priest as it is. Also, skillbooks are waaay cheaper for a fp than a bishop. If you like supporting in bosses, then continue with it. Bishops can also earn mesos but for sure at a slower rate relative to making a fp when leeching. All about preference.
I think it depends on what do you most want .. If you want to go bossing with a mage and be a support person to your bossing group, (maybe in the future if you make an attacker and go bossing for mesos you can even "double" your earnings by going separately with bishop and your attacker) then go with a BISHOP. If you want to make a future attacker only and go with that character/fund that character or if you only wanna sell leech for the mesos and don't care about boss support then go with an ARCH MAGE + hs mule.
@Venin @itsKate Thank you! I am not looking for a definite, absolute answer, as I would imagine this would differ per person. I am just curious if there is any other pro and cons I might have missed going into this analysis. Personally, I am not a big fan of Bishop - rather, Mages in general, its just that the metagame in Royals necessitate them, so I am looking at this from a pure funding stand point, my ultimate dream is not a gg Bishop, but rather a gg Marksmen, maybe NL (cliche i know). From what you two said, it seems that AM+HS mule is hands down the better option money wise, so I am strongly considering going down that route! (and maybe some other day, when affording Gen20 is a lot less painful to my wallet, I would continue making a proper, long lasting gg Bishop ^^) As a side note, what are people looking for when being buying leech from F/P AMs? Meteor Shower 1 hit leech or only, or people would buy Mist leech too? I've heard people saying F/P AM can sell leech naked, but no one ever elaborated on it.
I personally have never heard of people selling mist leech so I guess only meteor 1hitting .. As for the naked leech, f/p's Meteor Shower has the highest magic damage, and with meteor30 (cheap and claimable) they do the highest damage compared to other mages with equal funding. It is said to elaborate how easy and how little funding f/p requires to 1hit petris (and at a higher level you can easily 1hit petris with only your ele wand 5 + meteor 30 which is basically being naked) *** You can also try selling leech while being naked in your home but not your character .. But I didn't get much benefit with that, might only give uncomfort to others around you.
One thing I can say is if you really hate gambling and love to earn steady income as opposed to gobigorgohome methods then really archmage is the way to go. That route has never failed me and I am actually on my second archmage while using the same hs mule that has assisted my first archmage to lv200. I am actually making a bishop as my next character but that is purely for self leeching at low levels and the self leeching is for more up and coming archmages again. The reason why archmage is better as opposed to bishop is because petrifighter leech is generally more costly than skele. With that, you earnings per hour is slightly better as an archmage.
@itsKate I'm good, don't have particular preference to be naked while doing stuff @Venin I do kinda hate gambling, what are you referring to when you are talking about gambling in this context? Gobigorgohome = goby fish leech? I currently have a up and coming (lv50) I/L but the weapons are painfully hard to find, hence the idea of switching over to F/P first. lol, making a lv121 Bishop for super low level leeching further arch mages? XD Any particular reason you would need more than an archmage of each element other than AFK faming tooth/stoppers? Oh, and I have heard about petri selling for more due to higher exp rate, I guess thats a huge boon to F/P leech selling!
Scrolling is a farm of gambling. This includes chaos scrolling as well. Mathematically, it isn't worth to scroll which is why I hate scrolling. Go big or go home is like chaosing tbh but that's my view on scrolling. Some people have amazing experience with it but not me. Having a lv200 mage is quite a bane because people prefer to be leeched by lower level mages since they give a little bit more exp which is why I'd like to continue making more mages. Also, stopper farming is the only other reason for me to make more mages.
Huh, turns out even selling leeches have an expire date on level since you can't lose exp in this server...the more you learn everyday. Thanks for the insights Venin!
