Im just wondering when would be a good time to stop farming (how many sp to get). Im building a pure str/bladder fire and lighting. I just have about 20k today and im going to finish off the day with 25k. I did the calculations to see how much i need at level 70. It's like around 190k. I wanted to get 50-60k, then move on but how many should i get?? 50k, 70k, 100k? A person im farming with is going for 160k, and he has 130k already. Oh, im farming at lvl 17.

bladers need a ton of SP.
my advice would to be just to farm as much as you can stand.
but ideally, you should farm ALL right now, because in the later levels, you do less and less damage compared to an int character, and then, farming is much slower than an int.
now, the difference isnt TOO noticable.

good luck.

Go for about 100k. Then just level on a low gap.

i'd say go for 120k-140k (if yuo ca stand it) and 0gap the rest of the game. of go 100k and then 0gap to 52 where yuo can farm another 15k~

That was my original play but instead of 100 i was going to get 50. I'll shot for a 100 then. I gues 2 more months of farming :D

I dont get it. What about those who didnt farm or didnt farm a lot. How well did they do on the later levels??? Tell me about your experience.

about your question, i think they would just save SP for the skills they want. not really SP Farming. heheheh

just grind and get SP and save it until they reach a certain SP then use it again for the skills they want.

o_0 50k is enough man. I've made tons of characters all levelling on 0-2 gaps and did just fine. However, I then just delevelled all and farmed a shitload in the caves...
End-game farming > bandit farming. ( atleast for pure ints, nachal spawn rate = teh pwn )

In my situation... I am a level 16 pure INT sword/shield, fire, lightning char and I had originally aimed to go for 300k. Is this overkill? I'm partly doing this in anticipation of the raise to the level 90 cap?

Jabo, I am no expert, but I have been playing for about three weeks now and I will try to explain it as best as I can...

Your level gap is equal to your character level minus the level of your highest skill book...

In other words, your character is level 8 right now, and let's say for example that the highest book you currently have right now is Force level 7. That means that you have no skill books higher than level 7... therefore, your skill gap is (character level) 8 - (skill level) 7 = 1 level gap.

What does this mean? When your character level and skill level are exactly the same, you maximize the amount of character XP you receive per kill, and get a far significant less in skill XP. However, the further apart the character level and highest skill level, the greater the skill XP you get, and the less character XP you get.

I'm level 16, and I have a 9 level gap (my highest skill is only level 7). A 9 level gap is the highest gap you could possibly make and have a difference in XP to skill XP. I get approximately 225 skill XP and 30 XP per kill right now. The whole idea behind this is to save as many skill XPs as possible in order to have a better character down the road.

Hey where do you farm at that you get 225 sxp and 30 exp? I farm at the bandit's den and I kill BA and get only 30 exp and about 138 give or take sxp.
