Good place to train Meteor?

  The Tara missions don't really spawn enough mobs for the kill 8 req. Seems to be ~6.

  
  
  I thought that Sulfur Spider room is around 8 spiders. (More if that particular room is Orb)
  
  The best Tara SM for monsters is the middle room of OA. Each orb is like 6 monsters at least? More than 20 monsters when you hit all four orbs.

  Sulfur spider might be around 8, but the main room is too spread out for early ranks. It's potentially workable, but far more trouble than Offering.
  
  I didn't check the other rooms as getting a cast off outside of the initial, though, as that's already a lot more trouble than waiting 2 minutes for an Offering spawn.

  You don't meteor the main room of Sulfur Spider. You go to that side room that only has spiders. (It is like the 3rd room on the right or something)
  You just use flamer to gather, and the small radius of low rank Meteor can handle it since you can stack the spiders.
  
  If your CP is low enough (or at the right amount), you can get the entire rank in one meteor (with 4x training + Druid's Mark)

  set party finish to anyone finish, then
  you can use crisis on the first room of ss basic.
  after the crisis you can set your finish back to all to greatest contribution.
  that way you can get the 8 mobs from the first spawn+8 other mobs from the next spawn.
  *pretty sure this room spawns 8 until you kill 50 mobs.

  offering works too. Just hide behind that cliff, cast range is long enough to hit.

  
  
  Offering is what I use. Plenty of Boss mobs in Elite to work with at higher ranks, especially with raccoon cub. Best to take advantage of crisis + stuck mobs to reduce chances of "missing" and having to wait another 30 minutes.

  Crumena works for raid boss requirement (don't know yet for dragon requirement)
  
  you can also use tendering potion from saga for rank 6 or less. They last 36 minutes, so you have time for 2 meteors.

  If you're going to use tendering pots, you're better off paying 5k for a 5 minute one.

  Do Black Leopards count as field bosses for the training reqs?

  According to others, no.

  Fun fact: Killing someone with meteor in a duel doesn't count as a kill.

  Abb Neagh: Wild Boar
  Silva Forest: Polar Hornet

  Vales: White Dragon Raid

  Wait for rank 1 and master you can use the Wild Boar and Polar Hornet? I'm just curious because it says its a dragon requirement

  Hit 15+ enemies at a time. Hornets you can gather using Flame Burst, similar to spiders. Unsure about Boars, though.

  1. Enthrall and group seven boars.
  2. Repeat step 1 until you have grouped the desired number of boars.
  3. Set boars to sleep with Lullaby.
  4. Use Meteor Strike on boars.
  
  Those particularly boars don't agro after Enthralling Performance. You can amass a huge group worthy of Meteor Strike in around 20 seconds.
