Haunted Mansion in other versions

What specifically is so great about taipei? I hear their exp/HP ratios are extremely broken, but i've never heard any numbers.

I've also never heard anything so great about singapore. The only thing i've ever heard is that "oh the ghost ship is godly for clerics!" WHY? I'll assume that the spawn is godly, but the ratios? Drops? What about whatever else the town gave? The only quest i've seen is the captain latanica quest reward which is a choice of either 1m meso or exp. :X

If you could elaborate on that i'd be much appreciated.

The HP/EXP are extremely broken in Taipei, and as I understand it the maps are all three-level places like HHG which makes them extremely good for partying/splitting. I believe the monster of choice are the CDs:

http://strategywiki.org/wiki/MapleStory/...-80#Shy_CD

When you kill the Mad CD, it summons several Shy CDs. This makes mobbing them extremely good EXP. Just looking at them, you can tell they'll be great EXP well beyond level 100. There's an area like this for lower levels as well: The subway trains are full of Devil Slimes. They were so good that they got nerfed, but even after the nerf it's still the best place to train all the way up to 50.

Of course, the other monsters are the same:
Compare Boy Dummy to Lycans. Boy Dummy has 1/3 of the HP for the exact same amount of EXP. They also have a drastically higher spawn rate.

The boss. Everyone thinks he looks awesome and his HP/EXP beats the pants off Capt. Latanica. He drops a special guitar-shaped Pendant, don't know the stats on it but I don't think they're terribly special.


as for Singapore, the monsters that everyone hunt have comparable stats to Hoodoo/Voodoo, but they drop Steelies and other nice things. In MSEA Capt. Latanica is hunted often for the potions that he drops, but since we have NLC potions we don't really need that. I guess it's also like a HH that you can summon at will, but it does a lot more damage...
