I donated all the sp from my old character before I stopped using him. why let the sp go to waste.

Just to add a little more info...GP is needed to lvl up the guild.

Why donate GP? Well, if you have 998,000 SP that will never ever be used (someone in SRF has a screenie of 998,000 SP) then you can just donate a shitload to help lvl the guild.
Or if you and a friend are having a GP competition, you can donate a few to get an edge on him. Heh..I actually donated 2 GP just to get ahead of my friend.

Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to raise a farming character just for leveling the Guild. I'm going to get him/her to level 16 with a 9 level gap. Once at 16 I'm going to farm with a Gold Ticket. Double the SP (Hence GP) right there. Once I get some SP I can then donate that to the Guild to double the GP I've donated, but with that Gold Ticket it would be quadruple. :) So a normal 2,500 GP donated would, in turn, be 10,000.

Edit: So yes, there is a point. You can double the GP a character donates if that character is used specifically for farming, and not leveling.

if you need more GP to lvl the guild, buy guild-realted items (emblems, mercenaries, etc), then people can donate. otherwise there's no point.

I suck at maths, but you my friend.....
Or maybe I just underestimated my suckage at maths. And you are right. Which I really hope isn't true.

no hes right ^^ farm without gt and get 2500gp(and sp), then do it with gt u get 5000 gp(and 5000sp) in the same time. so u put ur sp into gp aswell u get 10000

edit: that sounds really complicated lol

Not if you write it in simple to understand context :

Farming without a gold ticket = 2500 sp. For every 10 sp you gain, you gain 10 gp.

Meaning you will have gained double that with a gold ticket, 5000sp and gp.

After, just add another 5000 skill points using the donation function and you will have donated 10000 guild points.

Unless i am wrong, 10000 / 4 = 2500.

2500 x 4 = 10000

Its very basic maths.

And im doing exactly the same.

So far i have over 3k GP on my farming char and im aiming for 100k before i stop farming.

Based on a 3 hour base that would be correct. But based on a 24.7 leveling it isn't. (as in the double / quadruple theory)

(Without GT)
3 hours = 10k SP = 10k GP
24 hours = 80k SP = 80k GP

(With GT)
3 hours = 20k SP = 20k GP
24 hours = 90k SP = 90k GP

So you'll be getting 10k extra SP per day if you have a GT. (this is saying you play 24/7)

So now you donate all SP to guild. You have officially donated 160k GP without a gold ticket or 180k SP with a gold ticket.

Gold tickets are a bit pricey aren't they?

If you have a char you don't use that has SP on it.

I still have 8k SP to donate to my guild on Blackchocob0. :P
