Hi, I'm a relatively new player and was wondering if I should create a bishop or f/p to sell leech to fund a future character. From what I know f/p meteor has been nerfed recently and was wondering if it would be better to create a f/p with hs mule or just go for a bishop. Any insight would be really helpful and appreciated. Thanks
Hi! If you are playing a mage solely for making mesos, I would suggest going for the F/P mage + HS mule route. 1. Fast training F/P are arguably the fastest Explorer class to train during late 2nd job and 3rd job without leech especially when you have max poison breath and mist. You are able to efficiently start training at Petrisfighters at level 85 , a level 110 mob. Your ultimate is easier to get too, just travel back and forth between Ellinia and El Nath. 2. Cheaper to fund F/P currently have the cheapest ultimate skill books (at this time of writing Meteor 30 cost around 300 to 350m), and you are able to 1 hit ulu 2, a prime leeching spot by level 130 with just a decent elemental wand 5. Your requirement to reach to 1 hit endgame leech (Petris) is also easier to reach too, just 1257 magic (post 54 update) compare to Bishop's 1295 magic to 1 hit skeles. 3. You will gain HS mule that will not eat away your experience while training. Unless your future characters are heavily washed, you can make use of your HS mule for self-training without fear of them taking your experience. Downsides - Bishops are more flexible when it comes making mesos, as they are able to start selling low-level leech at 120. (Some leeching spots can actually offer better selling rates than ulu 2, especially storm breakers which can go up to 55m for splits) - Bishops have a secondary source of earning mesos, selling bossing service (Zak helm, Krexel ring, Horntail pendant etc) - No need for multi-clienting! - You will have easier time joining daily boss runs if you use your bishop as a HS mule.
