say sorry, ur lvl wsa 121 not 131.
and your playing style is bad, you keep on dying now and then with merc on.
now that reduces your 2% and merc's exp too. But the exp you regain versus u lose is more than what your merc regains versus it loses. So thats what makes ur merc not lvl up. --- i faced some problems with my merc when he got lvl 90.
for the going to sleep thing... madrock is right, shue helps a lot. to choose a map, pick the one where ur merc can finish off any monster in one shot. I used fairmode and vemerden before. you can go better places too depending on the merc level.
both ranger mercs are ok. mage or archer. in case of archer merc, carry one or two large quivers ---- it is simple, if you are going to last a while, the merc quiver will be used and you will get empty space to collect next dorp, so getting empty does not matter much. the number of quivers depend on the total time you stay in the map while sleeping and the rate of monsters that come to hit you.
i tried c1 doomed mouleks, yesterday for the first time. was successful for the first six hours, later i think there were some problems had to tp in emergency at 4:13 in the morning, had lost my shue though - lolz (@a3jugger-u know how i sleep)
anyways, good luck with meeting madrock ingame for those secret places.
