Hi!
OK, I've been training at Birks & Dual Birks for a few levels with my Hermit buddy who's in her low 80s, and now that we have less than 5 levels between us the experience is very good. (Edit: I'm 78 as of this writing.) My Ice Strike is good enough now that it's also fast training solo. The map is never crowded (in fact there's almost never anyone else there) and it's easy to cycle through, looping the top two levels 2-3 times, then clearing the bottom.
However, I was looking at the training reference and I noticed Death Teddies are listed with a "%" indicator, meaning training on them should be quite fast. I'd be prepared to burn some potions there if I could get quick experience, but I spent 10-15 minutes there last week and it seemed incredibly slow.
They aren't weak to ice, although they do freeze, and give 120 less EXP than Birks, with the same HP. Both monsters are level 85, but with their ice weakness Birks are easier to kill, for more EXP each.
So, does anyone know why DTs have a "great EXP" indicator while Birks don't? Is there some trick to navigating the map that makes them better, or what am I missing?
