Skele leech should have it price increased!!!

This deserves more testing, but agree that skeles should be sold at least 140/70 (provided the seller doesn't walk around all platforms regularly looting everything).

I did a quick test on my AM a few days ago at skeles and a few things I thought I'd mention:
- with the seller at 161, leechers at 114/141, the 114 leecher got ~31m exp/hr (didn't ask how much the 141 got, the 114 is me so easier to calculate )
- this is accounting for... 1) I was frequently getting bumped down to the bottom row when I'm telecasting 2) It was difficult for me to blizzard, climb the rope and blizzard again before the spawn time even with tc + haste. I suspect it's easier with genesis given the slightly faster casting time.

So I suspect it's going to actually be 33m+/hr between two leechers at a similar level and better map moving skills.

At petris, for two leechers around lv110 I can do between 33-36m/hr exp depending on the levels of buyers and my tc accuracy during the day (which is not 100%, btw). I might mention that I think it's a more accurate representation to count the number of petrifighters that one can kill in an hour to get a gauge of the quality of leech being bought. The average telecaster who doesn't climb top/bottom platforms should be able to kill 5500-6000 petris per hour using the standard rotation method in Venin's tc thread.

 

Hmmm I don't know if this is the right thread to bring this up in, but as there aren't that many leeching threads on the forums I'll just say it here.

As a petrileecher myself, it feels like there are undoubtedly some times where the petri spawn rates differ greatly at certain times or certain channels.. Like There would be times where i could meteor 12-13 petris at one time, and then immediately spam the next and hit another huge mob. However, there are some other times where I'd have to travel the edge of the map to find 4-5 petris. At other times there are only 2-3 petris which is ridiculous in a sense. I don't know if this is a rotation problem, but it's annoying how sometimes exp per hour is dependent on having a lucky map that spawns petris at a way faster rate. Anybody else experience the same issue? Would like to hear other peoples experiences on this.

 

Kinda deviating from the thread but personally I haven't had that issue. From anecdotal experience (and feel free to correct me on this),

i) the total number of petris that can spawn in the map is constant
ii) there is a maximum number of petris that can spawn on any one platform
iii) the probability that a petrifighter will spawn on any platform that has not reached a maximum mentioned in ii) is either constant or follows a set formula

If the above assumptions were all true then it follows that if I were to kill 10 petris within each spawn time interval, 10 should spawn in the next one, but not necessarily the same number of petris on the same platform(s). Hence, after a while, one must climb the rope to hit to top platform, which I tend to do every 30-45 seconds depending on the number of petris I'm hitting.

The 'spawn time interval' I'm talking about is the time interval between when monsters are set to spawn. I usually find I'm able to blizzard twice + teleport 3-4 times or climb the short middle rope in-between. Genesis is marginally faster but I think it will still be difficult/virtually impossible to manage 3 mob-hitting genes within 1 interval. Essentially I see telecasting as a way of moving further apart from your previous location so you can hit more monsters within the same interval .

Anyway, that's my two cents. Realistically I do watch movies and whatnot while I'm selling leech so perfect efficiency is really only theoretical (I hope none of my buyers mind getting ?1m less exp/hr lol). I try my best to keep petri rates at 5500+/hr. A similar exp rate (31m+) at skeles is arguably more difficult to achieve consistently imo given 1) the longer rope between platforms, taking up a larger fraction of the spawn interval and 2) the brokenness of the middle-bottom platform making it easy to fall & sometimes difficult to telecast.
