Hey guys, tomorrow is the day Hercules will open and Ive been planning on making a new char there and get it as high as possible.

I'm planning to make an archer and was wondering if its necessary for me to farm or not. Will I still be able to get the necessary skills with 0 lvl gap? I am getting both premium and sp ticket for four weeks as well as a pet monkey, rabbit or some sort that will help me lvl faster.

Will the Premium and SP Ticket be enough to gain the SP I need for 3 hours per day?

Thanks.

Go 70:70 bow with lightning. Very little SP's are used and the build is decent. Get a touch of ice too.

70 70? I thought pure str is much stronger.... hm....

if you wanna benifit most out of your lightning. But you can go pure STR fire and have lightning low. Either one is good.

70:70 bows are great in PvE, killing mobs of their levels in Anti-devil + combo or just Strong Bow.
full STR levels slower but is better in PvP.
It's just wether you want to be more PvP or PvE oriented.

thanks for the reply. Im thinking of just doing either a 4 or 5 lvl gap all the way. Hopefully that will lvl me fast enough to keep myself away from botters Especially when doing quest and stuff. Ill just have to lvl fast at low lvl then hope that no high lvl botters are there yet.

4 or 5 gap might seem "fast" at first... then you'll realize how torturous it is.

Why do you want to get to high level as fast as possible? The bots will still beat you.

But if you truly want to level as fast as possible you will have to be a pure int spear or sword. Only take weapon skills till you have nukes. Then delevel all of them, for the sp.

You will only level the light tree and will have to train on mobs that you can nuke+lion shout.

If you only have 1 mastery you should be able to carry a 0-1 gap.

Enjoy

Pure int nukers lvl really really really slow untill they have nukes and are useless without farming. At least the bow can ks and have high attack speed and can kill in a descent amount of time. Not to mention, I like the new skills that will be coming out.

PS, all my iSRO chars have been pure ints or int hybirds nukers and i thought it would be nice switching it a little to pure str. Not dying for once

Sorry I missed the whole thing about wanting to go bow. I just saw that you wanted to carry a 0 gap.

I don't know why you say pure ints level slow before nukes. They level the same speed as there str counterparts.

Either way For a strength or hybrid build you would need 2 masteries one weapon and one force, but you should know that already.
With 2 masteries I don't think you could carry a 0 gap.

Of course you could figure this all out, just plan your build, and then use the sp chart.

Obviously double or triple the sp per level to compensate for the tickets

You will stop in your mid 30's by doing a 5 level gap. Avoid that.

so what is ur guy's suggestion?

Edit, I calculated that I can get a max in necessary skills at lvl 31 pacheon with 0 lvl gap all the way to lvl 31, thats how far I calculated hehe. But quest may lower that sp I gain since you gain less sp when doing quest i think... than how much you gain in xp.

Im only planning to lvl fire and pacheon untill I have enough sp to lvl lightning. Maybe just to lvl 17 to get the 20% speed increase and thats it until I will farm at high lvls.

But, when the new server comes, Hercules which is supposed to open right now, should I just farm at lvl 16? It will be difficult without a good bow and stuff, I might just to a 7 mastery and lvl to 25 then dlvl back. The only reason why I hate farming at lvl 16 is that it is very difficult to find a guy that will help you dlvl. And dlvling at dw takes forever. 1minute per 2% lost cuz you have to run all the way outside till u find the next monster and there are times that someone will kill that monster before it even hits you and that adds additional time.

I may be able to do a 3 lvl gap and still lvl fast enough and gain enough skill points.

And from lvl 1 to lvl 70 at 0 gap gives me a total of 74k sp which is way enough and with sp ticket and premium, thats around say 100k sp?

What do you guys think? At lvl 70, i may just lvl pacheon mastery to 70 but skills are like lvl 50+ or something, or I can start farming at lvl 64 where I can just stop my mastery at lvl 55 in order for the other skills to catch up.

From lvl 64 - 65 is over 55k sp with 9 lvl gap.

From lvl 55 - 64 from 0 to 9 gap gives me.... 64k sp. Hm....

I think I will go for it. And just lag my lightning and fire skills but lvl up only my pacheon skills in order to get a 0 gap.
