Why should i train at Gigs ?!!

Gigs have a very lovely map, FULL of sniping spots, very low getting hit rate, and good EXP (2600) drops are better then grims, for a solo hermit, and you will not get hit alot, which means saving money.

When shall i train at Gigs ?!!

Early 9x i believe

What skill build shall I follow ?!!

Your build is your choice, but avenger is good here, alchi is a must, but after all you are the one who can play the best with your char.

How many potions shall I get per hour ?!!

For my self, i don't need alot of pot at gigs, i only get hit at bottom and RARELY on normal platforms if am not cautious. i get per trip 300 pop 200 unagi and 100 pure water, but i only use 25% of those pots.
Also, always use warrior pills, DEX pills (10 avoid are great) and pain reliever which is sold able only in Omega sector.

How much % i will gain per hour ?!!

i was doing 1~1.5% per 5 min.

Arriving:

When you first enter the Gigs map, which is Twisted Time found in a hidden portal in Top left of Vikings map between two bulbs, DO NOT cast any skill or use any pot till you check the whole map, and make sure that no fellow mapler training there, also take care of hackers =D.

Knowing the map



My route starts from (platform 1) and ends at (bottom platform).

Gigs map have alot of sniping spots, which make it a very nice place for us, hermits, a very little chance to get hit along the way down, and if you are really a pro hermit, bottom will not use alot of poting from you.

Starting point


Go on the rope cast your skills and use your pots and get ready to rock.

Platform (1)

Jump on the platform try not to get hit, and then go on the 2 green blocks in the middle of the platform stand as shown in pic and provoke a Gig to come toward you, when it is standing right in front of you the projectiles Will not hit you





Platform (2)

Can be easily sniped from to areas doesn't need to be explained as pics are enough





Platform (3)

This is the biggest platform in the map, but also have alot of sniping spots, after sniping platform (2) from the red block just jump down to the red platform below it, and look to the right, you will be able to snipe the first area of this platform



u can also come here for the same area



then you will look to the right again to do area (b) of platform (3)



also this is another option



last area for this platform, you just go the the edge and face left to hit the small platform



Platform (4)

Have only one way to deal with, use DS (or path throw without using) and stand on the green block between the long blue platform on the left, and the short one on the right and then hit.



Platform (5)

Jump shoot area doesn't need any explanation



Platform (6)

This platform is Similar to platform one, divided from the middle by a green block which will be our sniping spot





Bottom

just do it the normal way, mob them to the left, FJ right hit till you get cornered pass throw them to the left again and re do it till you finish them
