    Newton Movalpolos meritpo?

    This region is never controlled by anybody on any server. Are there any decent merit party possibilities there? I've always enjoyed stabbing Goblins in the face, but didn't like Gobbie Rush (or the moblin para/blind TP moves really either).

    Have people tried meriting in Newton? I'd kind of like to make a signed fish & chips, but I'm not about to shell out 150K for a moval water the next time I see one.

    I'd imagine you could easily do it, if you really wanted to... Mobbos beyond the bridge are all EM+. I doubt the exp would be all that good, though. Just enter, and roam the crap outta everything lol

    Doesn't work as efficiently due to 16 min repops

    What Wafik said... mobs outside are on a 5 minute timer and mobs inside are 16 minutes. So you'll eventually reach a bottleneck unless you're of the ideology that chain 5 is all that and then some. =D

    Bring really fast and heavy DDs and it works great. You just have to roam a lot and kill the mobs fast because they have some nasty TP moves and like to gang up on you. You just have to kill them before they can.

    You probably won't reach over chain 10 because there aren't very large clusters of mobs to pull at once but you can probably do 8-10k/hour if you have a strong enough party and roam fast.

    It's definitely fun. Plus your THFs can steal Platinum coins. You can roam the entire center walkway from Oldton to the Mine Shaft.

    Sadly, after a 2+ hour party there once, I didn't see any change in regional control.

    Did MNK + NIN + RDM a few times there. 3 ppl party was really fun. Kills are slower, so the repop time isn't as big of a deal, but it's still definately too slow to call this an efficient meritting method.

    It's amusing if your LS wants to farm Sylvan stones, but yeah the exp isn't that fast due to the repop times and the general resiliency of the Moblin/Bugbear mobs compared to toucans or imps.

    We did a two hour long roaming party that slaughtered everything there, and the region control bar didn't move at all so your quest to get some cheap Movalpolis water might be a bit tough. Did this back in the Parade Gorget madness days actually, those were good times :D
