Looking for advice on choosing skill books

Post by xxedge72x »

Hello everyone,

I am a level 16 pure INT sword/shielder on the Olympus server and am currently in the process of hardcore sp farming. I am looking to go for about 300k of sp.

Anyway, I'm still new to the game and am looking for input on whats the best way to go with my skill books. I've been given various advice on this, and have been led to believe the best way to go is with a 3 book system, that includes my weapon, and 2 attack spell books so that I can level them all up to 90 once SRO gets the cap increase.

What I was thinking was maybe it's better to go with two books, and then use the rest of my masteries on getting the passives of all of the other books? Why or why not? What does everyone think?

welll lets start with the 300k sp. even iff you have a stallar farmnig bow (SoM+5 or better) and a gold ticket yuo will get 2-6k sp a day (depending if yuo grind fafter your ticket and how crowded it is). so that'll take you, ehh 50-100+ days of farming. if yuo have all this stuff. and its not worth it becausde you'll never need that much.

about the skills, they are talking about masteries, not books. yuo can have as many skills as yuo want. just not more than 300 mastery total.

ex. i have ice att lvl 20, and fire at lvl 30 and bicheon at lvl 30

20
30
+30

80

so 80 is yuor mastery total. you could have no skills in those. or have everything maxed. it won't change yuor total unless you lvl up or down those masteries.

for which i'd go with light a complete must for a nuker. then choose between fire and ice (fire for big dmg, ice gives not much dmg but lots of defense later). yuo can choose both. but then has no weapon mastery. or you can choose to lvl up bicheon for some weapon skills on the side and extra block. or heusukal for the nice bonus HP

Hey man :!:

I agree with Misaklo, you dont will need farm 300k because its too boring and 300k its lot of sp, try to get 10-15k sp and play with arround 3-5 masterys level gaps!
** how to know your mastery level???
eg: Im Level 38 now with:
Fire Mastery: Lvl. 34
Cold Mastery: Lvl. 32
Light Matery: Lvl. 32
Heuksal Matery: Lvl. 30

My mastery level is 34. And my level gap is 4 (38 - 34 = 4)

Your masterys: If you are pure INT, you will need to focus to Force Masterys. (INT = Mag.Attack Based Chars). So, level up nukes at Lvl.30.

You may think that im wrong, because you will did a lot of damage with your imbues at low levels, but after lvl.40 your balance will be with a huge gap (STR-INT) and INT balanced.. then PHY attacks with imbue will damage arround 1.2k and nukes arround 2.9k!!!

You can change your char to hybrid or make a nuker, i recommend to you read this 2 topics:
Hybrid Guide:

and Nuker Guide:

I hope this guides can be usefull to you!

Good luck and
Cya ;)
