Hi! First of all, sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language.

 

These days I was having some issues leveling in OD2. My homunculus(amistr) is already 99 and evolved, but I was still dying coz my AI bugged sometimes.

 

 After level 85, OD2 is really a pain in the #### in order to level up. I needed a new map. I tried seraching ''afkemist'' in every forum of ragnarok, and I found viables maps, unfortunately these maps were not habitated by other alchemists and the respawn rate of monster was very low, not being able to afk there....

 

One day, I decided to make a tour by einbroch fields to find a good map.

 

I found ein_fild09. The map is very nice, there are porcellios,metallings and the respawn rate is good, I'll explain next: 

 

Porcellios have lol hp, moderate damage, and easy to hit. I can't talk about the HM fleeing his attacks since I have amistr, though they are tankable ( I just need to set hp aggro >50 ). They are also level 85, so the exp penality untill level 99 it's less then 10%. I am receiving 1294 exp at lvl 89.

 

Metalings are not much different from porcellios, except for the fact that they are lvl 81 so the exp penality becomes higher at higher levels. At the moment (lvl 89) I am receiving 604 exp.

 

You may think this map is not viable because it's not a popular place, and we afkmist need a reasonable population in order to kill monsters, so they can respawn more.

Fortunately (wut) there are a lot of BOTs leveling/farming, and they contribute for the respawn rate of the map, becaming a viable thing.

 

I didnt test this map with Filir or Vanil since I don't have them, neither I have a friend who has it, but I think it's ok whereas they have a lot of flee.

 

In this map we have another monster type: the stronger porcellio. My amistr wasn't able to kill it and died (full hp), so I set the AI to ignore(default), and added the ID's of metaling(1613) and porcellio(1619) and set to atack(medium, high, in this order).

 

I can't compare the exp per hour between OD2 and ein_fild09, but the exp from OD2 was very low when I was 85, and the exp here (ein_fild09) is pretty good, at lvl 89.

 

The respawn rate I would say it's ''medium'', could be improved if we had another afkmist.

 

My goal is to achieve lvl 99, I believe this map is not good for leveling ur homunculus, specially if you have a AOE hm type; OD2 is still better for that.

 

Would like to hear ur opinion about that.

 

Thx

I used to go to Hunter Fly and Petite maps, however with Filir/Vani (95+), wonder if an Amistr can handle them.

Exps were good for the same reason, decent spawn because of bots :v.

[cumper]

I just tried petite maps. My amistr was able to survive there.

 

The exp/hour is better I believe, but my alchemist can't tank petite. My equips are from eden and I have 99 vit 1 agi. Maybe if I equip a petite card I will survive more

 

Thx for the advice.

Just tried out in both ein_fild08 (1 map below Einbroch) and ein_fild09 with Vanil. but evolved to Dieter one (level 102, Caprice helped a lot, therefore, no problem with this skill on), with my level of 107, no problem for me to tank at all, just that Solid Metaling will take you longer time.

 

For sure, exp. per monster is about 4 times better, with sufficient numbers of afk player, exp. yield per hour is definitely good!

 

The only problem is that these maps are too big and we will need more afk players here due to reducing numbers in bottler.

 

Gonna try out Petite map soon.

I used to level my homuncs in Einbroch map too and if I had any  level 80ish + plus characters I leveled them there too so it'd help a bit with the spawns.

 

There is always a few other "people" there too so it it's good if you 're not in a rush to level your homuncs/chars.  

 

Plus there's not OD2 drama.

 

 

[fuyukikun]

if you are wondering, homuns dont suffer exp penalties. the exp the owner received, however penalized, but the homun got full base exp. that is why so many people do OD2 till 150 since the exp never change.
thanks for advising einbrooch field, it is music to my ears, since i am fed up with OD2 and the people inside.

It was history that there were some other "people" there to help the situation a lot but I think the situation is different, we need more homuns as server population dropped by about 1k.

Thanks for advice, are you still there?

im on metaling map, south of einbroch.

i am leveling bayeri, vanil based. Porcellio is still too much for me, hit me about 50-80, and earth attack which inflicts 500 dmg to my bayeri. also earth spike from caprice doesnt affect it, so it is kinda waste of SP. While metaling only hit 18 damage to my bayeri and every caprice hits.

[KianS]

Well, good to hear this.

 

Hope I have time to join you there.

 

I suppose Metaling's Reflection is quite painful for you too.

 

/heh

[KianS]

Meanwhile, just visited iRO wiki and noted that regardless of the owner's and homunculus's level, exp. yielded by homunculus will not be affected as the owner do.

 

So, with this come into mind, is staying in Orc Dungeon level 2 better for 450 exp. per Zenorc or Einbroch Field for 954 exp. per Metaling (~2 times Zenorc's) and 1,294 exp. per Porcellio (~3 times Zenorc's)?

 

And, getting 3 Zenorcs killed is just easy but with reducing numbers of bottler, killing 1 Metaling to other one would take some buffer time...

 

Have anyone evaluated the situation above?

[fuyukikun]

i did said homuns dont suffer exp penalties.
btw, i compare the leveling speed:
lets say in OD2 the leveling speed is 1x
in metaling map it is about 0,3x
in grove map it is about 0,5x
metaling map and grove map can be much better if we have more people (bots) there.
