zzz, am bored of taking ages to lvl up, and am stuck with the same weapon, should i just farm when am 30+ and go to ghost soldiers etc, or should i keep the 5 gap i got now ?

It just depends on what you want to do, If you want to take a break from grinding then farm at 30 if you want, or just keep your gap. But just a little FYI the grind is only going to get worse as you keep leveling up. Some people are only getting .01% per mob(at a lot higher levels). That's roughly 10000 monsters without a quest. Something to look forward to lol.

but at higher lvl, lets say around level 30, and am getting around 130sp per a ghost soldier, would i only get around 80ish when am 30?

It all depends on the weapon you have. Obviously you don't want to farm at 30 since you'd have to own a 29 + X weapon, as compared to if you farmed at 32, you get the next degree weapon and can get a sos or + X. If you want to farm before that around 24 is best so you can get a 24 sos. The closer you are to 30, the more you'd just want to get to 32.

Sure at a higher level you'd get less SP, but you'd be killing a lot faster (unless you had a sso now and were 24-26) so it'd make up for it. However, you won't be doing ghost soldiers. I am 27 now and soldiers are green and the regular ones are white. At 32 I think the'd be blue for soldiers and almost blue for the soldiers, which means you'd not get as much SP as you would farmiing the next monster.

What I'm doing is I 1-level gapped until 24 (so mastery is at 23), then I left it there and leveled (got next level before quest rewards) so the goal is to build up enough SP so when I do hit 30-31 I have enough for nukes, hp passive, and all of the buffs I've yet to level (grass walk, must piercing, etc...)

I have a + 2 sos L24 spear though, so I can afford to do this because I can kill pretty fast without getting hit on ghosts/soldiers. It's going to be a long grind to 30, but that's the way the game is.

oh, how i wish i can afford a SOS 24 spear, saw someone selling 1 for 2mill 297 mag dmg

I'm currently farming with a gold ticket at lvl 24 with a 9 lvl gap...and oh how I wish I only farmed at stronghold when I was 16. I'm using a +2 SOM 24 spear killing Gunpowder and Meek Earth Ghosts, and the best I can do is 2k SP in 3 hours. Had I farmed with a SOS bow at 16, I'd probably average 3k+ SP. I can't image how much of an SP loss you'd have when farming at higher lvls. Sure if you farmed at lvl 40 with an SO(x) weapon with nukes you might 1 hit kill mobs, but I believe that you still wouldn't get more than 350 SP hour (without GT).

how much do most SOS 24 spears go for on average ?

around 2m-3m for a +3 one...
