Tips for minimizing XP gain on several of the last maps.

[DIrishB]

I'm currently on The Abyss and checked ahead on the last few maps. Noticed some good ways to minimize XP gain while mastering/finishing those maps (Level 1 only, though higher levels shouldn't be too much of an increase on XP).

The Abyss
-Wormhole (21 energy cost / 5 XP per hit / most players can one hit it, it's only 58 energy I believe, though on the other hand it only pays out around 130 gold so you sacrifice some money / This is by far the cheapest energy cost and XP gain for later maps)

Garden of Gain
-Altar of Pain (70 energy cost / 25 XP per hit)

The Temple of Water
-Temple of Water (60 energy cost / 28 XP per hit)

The Lost Bethel doesn't contain any real low XP per hit monsters or buildings that I noticed, though I haven't gotten to it yet.

Just figured this may be helpful for others like myself who are trying to hold off on getting into whale territory while chasing Dragons (lvl 10 BD) but who still may want to finish the quests. Once map quests are finished and you're just mastering, this can be useful.

Hee hee ... and here I am trying to minimise XP to prevent levelling up too quickly. During the Boss event, my favourite is the 1XP wolf which will always trigger the Boss. And if anyone is feeling cold, I have lots of spare wolf pelts! :D

The wormhole is clearly an oversight.

I dont get the suggestion on the others, because they're not significantly out of line with the remainder of the monsters on the map; they also have 0 drops, which minimizes your chance to increase your stats beyond the 1 skill point and indestructible unit.

True, and as I said it's very low gold. But the rest are the lowest XP gain units on those maps and figured it might be useful to some.

And The Altar of Pain and Temple of Water ARE about half the XP of the monster units on their respective maps, so I'd say they are significantly out of line with the other units. And as I said in my first post, the Mastery suggestions were for Level 1 only. Again, if you're Mastering beyond that I'd recommend killing monsters, though the monster armor/weapon drops on those maps are pretty rare anyway.
