[Guide] Krythan's Leech Buying Guide

You are at the right level to get exp.

I assume these are the Bubbling as seen in the map Kerning City Subway: Line 1 <Area 1>? These Bubblings are a level 15 monster, meaning characters can be as low as level 10 to get leech exp from them. As you kill the monsters... on your low level character, look at the exact number on your exp bar on your, or the bottom right of the screen where white text will tell you what items and mesos you are getting.

If you are not getting any exp, then there is some other problem. For example - make sure both your characters are in the same party, and in the same map and channel.

 

April 17th, 2024 - Updated the chart to include examples of package pricing. Improved the section on package pricing to be more descriptive. Sellers may choose to provide a discount on top of these example rates. Let me know if you're experiences with package pricing differ from these estimates.

Pro Tip: You can also use these package pricing estimates as a baseline for estimating the cost of leech across a broader range of levels and/or maps. For example: Using these prices, we can estimate leeching from level 20 to level 120 to be in the range of 400 to 450m!

 

Your 1,382,400 exp/min recording is for solo peach monkey leech right? The table in the original post assumed split leech, which should put you back within the estimated 1.1m-1.2m range.

Otherwise, I agree! Except for the fact that Peach Monkeys have a more difficult rotation (very similar to viks), for selling leech I find they're better than gs2 in most ways.

 

Oh nice. When you recorded it, it was split.

The estimates in the original chart are meant to represent "average" eph / ratios. As such, an exceptional leech seller might actually find that they're able to exceed these estimates. Most notable, wind raiders is a map where the variance is so high, that there's opportunity to provide an excellent service, and earn above average income should you charge by ratio.

For example, here's a few maps that might provide such an opportunity:

• red slimes
• peach monkeys
• windraiders!!!
• wolf spiders
• skeles
• etc

 

June 3rd, 2024 - Minor update to the primary chart to better clarify what each column is representing.

 

Updated! Thank you, that would be correct - both Wind Raiders and CDs (Partial) should now show as extending to level 71.... as that's when the full exp at CDs starts.

 

Updated! Thank you. At a 1:0.42 ratio 67-71 should cost just over 18m. Thank you for noticing that.

More specifically, 67 to 71 is 7.6m exp. The best way to do this level range would actually be with Windraiders, where you could get 2.5m-3m per hour (split) or even higher with a good leech seller.

So this package would be around 3 hours to complete. Maybe slightly longer if you decided to do it at CDs instead of WR... which offers a slightly lower epm until level 71 (but a more convenient location).

 

December 21th, 2024 - A new map has been added to the list!

We've added Snake Area as a recommended option for levels 40-43. Split leech buyers should see an average of around ~430k exp per hour, passing the ~350k a split leech buyer would have previously seen at Porkies during these levels.

The layout of Snake Area is very similar to Porkies, with a high density of mobs across three different platforms. Similar to Porkies, clearing the map does require two casts, but very minimal movement. Sellers whom favor ease-of-use over optimal exp/hr may choose to stay at Snake Area past level 43, especially if you don't enjoy the layout of Wraiths.

Thanks to everyone that's provided their experiences, numbers, and insight over the past year! Your feedback has been invaluable in refining the table of maps as seen in the original post.
