I just want to say that V/Hoodoos are ALWAYS 4 spawn, never higher, never lower. Change it! :D

Kevvl did a test, the spawn does change (if I remember correctly)

well heres from a good amount of hours spent. I get 8.4 exp per hour here which is good. Since before I was getting 3-5% a hour. I aam sure a party here would increase exp by up to 12%, good luck simplifying...

here it is:



Destroyed Dragon Nest – Levels 120+

Jr. Newties, Transforming Newties, and Nest Golems
Spawn - 5/5
Money - 3/5
Exp – 4/5
Exp to Hp Ratio- 1:18 (for all monsters on this map)

Pros
-Low Pot Consumption
-Nest Golems move slowly, and Newties are stationary
-Flat terrain
-Constant Spawn
-Nest Golem magic attack is avoidable and are not auto-aggroed

Cons
-Far away from town (buy a Mount it helps)
-Incredible fast attacks
-Highly damaging attacks
-Hard to collect drops
-Newtie’s Magic Attack is unavoidable
-Newties are Auto-aggroed

Overall  4/5

Highly Recommended Method: Hawk/Eagle and Strafe or Hurricane
If you don’t plan on using Hawk/Eagle, do not waste your time going here, even Blizzard won’t work efficiently here. Simply using Hawk/Eagle reduces your damage intake by more than 70%. On this map, you will mostly be killing Jr. Newties and Transforming Jr. Newties. The Newties attacks are VERY fast and are auto aggroed, in some cases it appears that they attack while spawning. They do about 2.1k damage and can attack with a decently long range. Hawk takes care of this situation by stunning them. On this map, it is highly recommended that you stand in one of the two spots on the left hand side of the map. Take either the bottom platform or middle platform. The top is not suited for Archers, and is full of Nest Golems that can do up to 3.1k damage. The bottom platform has a Transforming Newtie, and when it is in the middle of transforming your attacks will bypass it and hit the second Newtie that is behind it. Although the Transforming Newtie becomes a Nest Golem and does damage that takes over 90% of your health, Hawk/Eagle should immobilize it. If for some reason Hawk/Eagle does not stun or happens to run out, BACK AWAY while jumping and puppet behind you if you hit it. If you find yourself facing two Nest Golems, which can happen depending on how fast you kill and the spawn, BACK AWAY while jumping, and do what was stated before, Blizzard would also work.  The Transforming Newties that turn into Nest Golems have avoidable ground attacks and gives you about 2.1 more exp than a Jr. Newtie and is more than regular Nest Golems.  If you don’t want to fight the transforming ones and if you can, take the second platform as the first two are regular Jr. Newties. Most of the time you will only be attacking two Newties, because that’s all you can hit in your range, and the spawn is fast. This map does cater to skills that have high damage overtime, so Bowmasters MAY have an easier time.

The only thing that makes the money mediocre is due to the fact that it is very hard to pick up the money. When you go to pick up drops you WILL get hit by other Jr. Newties. It is very dangerous for anyone who doesn’t have a pet, as it is hard to pick up and take 2.1k damage constantly. If you have a pet and a mount the best method is to after every few minutes, ride on the mount quickly jumping over the Newties and back. This is also dangerous, as you cannot pot while riding the Mount. If you have auto-hp you are fine. An efficient looter will only get hit 1-2 times with the mount.

For faster exp, party with another Archer or Hermit/Night Lord. I/L Archmages may also do well at the top platform.
