Sell those two and get yourself a level 16 SoSun +7 bow to 1-shot the bandits... you will get SPs at an amazing rate.

How much is each one worth? And how hard is it to find a sosun 16 bow xD. Can you just answer my question :D

Yes, I bought my Sun 16 bow way back then for only 35m.... not sure what the price is now.

I took me about a month and a half to farm 250k SP in the stronghold. --> http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=22881

Hmmm, I don't think i have the time anyway to sell these then go and spend weeks looking for sosun bow. Does any-one have any ideas of which 1 to farm at?

You get another computer and log into a character with rez. You bring the character you want to delevel to an area with mobs (remember to strip your char first), then you put something heavy on the "Enter" key.

On your other computer with your rezzer, you stick a quarter into the hotkey for rez... then the whole deleveling process is automatic. Each time your character gets killed, your rezzer will automatically res the deleveler, and your rezee will automatically accept the rez. You go watch some TV and come back in 30 minutes, and you will delevel a few level 8)

P.S. Be careful not to get too carried away or fall asleep or you will delevel a whole lot more than you want to.

you will get max 35m fo both of those bows together.

my unionmate has SUN+7 lvl 16 bow c/o ~300mil.

good luck trying to get that much gold.u can shoot for SOM+3 in the 40m's or 50's

Lol, well i think the 24 bow better to farm at, might keep a 3 gap till lvl 18 then open it up to 9 by 24.

I sold a sosun lvl16 bow yesterday for 150mil... the stats were shitty and it was just +3 so you could get one for around that probably

Farming at 16 is always easyer +you have a chance of getting a sox drop and selling it or using it to farm. But its reall up to u

i think u should farm with the 24 bow because it has better stats better crt and also more blues then the other...
what build are u?
because this matters too...if u are full int is important at lvl 30 to have enough skill points to open ur nukes..and i guess in this case i will vote for 16...but in all the other cases i choose 24 bow for farming
have fun and good luck...farming is hard

So, there's no chance of getting a SOX-drop at horses then?

SoS 24+7 + Horses FTW!

Maybe not so eficient than archers at 16, but far better drops and lot of wind II & IV, and you can sell wind II & IV around 2k each.

Salu2.

sun is overkill if u gonna farm bandits.

any build with decent str/int on gear will 1 shot archers.

edit: and lol D2U, in your sp farm topic you say you had a magical balance of 140%, u really are full of shit.

OMG...you are on Oasis right? Well, you could have bought a lvl 24 SOM bow for 30 mill, just 5 more million that the +7. It was being stalled in Hotan.
