Fastest leveling pure str build?

jauqe · Post by **jauqe** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 5:11 am

I decided that i wanna make a pure str blader but I don't want to completely start off with one. I'll level with a pure str glavie or bowman till after level 52 sp farming then ill switch my weapon mastery to bicheon. So I wanna know with which of the 2 pure str builds can i level the fastest?

P.S. Also, I know this isnt the right place but I might as well ask... How do I get the banner of the realm i play on under my avatar?

Bow, if you have a monkey / looter pet. If not, then a Glavier can level just as fast as a Bowman - if not faster.

For the PS, on the top few tabs, go to your Profile, and under where it says "Location", type in your Server. Not realm. Server.

Glaive is actually faster than bow. Bow levels faster for the first 31 levels, but then glaive skips ahead because bow does very very little damage and their attacks take a long time to charge.
Even if you have a pickup pet, glaive is still faster.

You cant compare those 2 movies, the bower is grinding on orange mobs. The glavier is grinding on white mobs.

Besides that, the glavier is fully farmed and you dont know if the bower is.

A bower will level faster, pick a spot with mobs you can 2 shot and a decent spwn rate. And the only one that will out level you is a pure int. After level 31 bower doenst get slower =|

Besides, I outdamage lvl 75 glaviers on the mobs I am grinding on.

The bow is fully farmed, because I know that he is.
He also has sos+7 I think.

The archer has a lvl 52sos+5 which puts his weapon arround lvl 62 and his mobs are 61. But he's 4 lvl's lower then the mobs he's fighting.

The glaiver has a 64 glaive and her mobs are 64/65. However she is 2/1 lvl's higher then the mobs she's fighting.

So bow 1 lvl higher weapon, 4 lvl's lower char-level.=> diffrence with the mob 3
Glaive 1 lvl's lower weapon, 1 lvl lower char-level. => diffrence with the mob 2

So the diffrence really ain'\t that big. Although 64 gives a massive dmg increase.
(hmm somehow during typing it, this became a math explanation :/ and I suck at math lol

)

Still what this 2 video's do show is that the glavier can fight multiple mobs easier then the archer.

bow for sure. Glavie needs to run to mobs, that means u need to be fast leveling up grass walk and lighting. A bow doesnt need that much grass walk so he can lvl up faster and farm later without probs. I would say bow

Bow levels 100% faster.

Raingul you picked the worst bow grinding video ive ever seen.
undutchable was doing that to show his strength not his efficiency.

who uses strongbow constantly while grinding? jesus christ.

im gonna make a bow grinding vid right now.

btw those karas are lvl 64 and the glaive is lvl 66 not to mention the huge 64 weapon boost with the new degree.

Glaive....bowers only kill fast if they have a som/sosun weapon.

HertogJan · Post by **HertogJan** » Sun Jul 08, 2007 1:52 pm

Lol, I kill white mobs in 2 attacks, wich takes less time then a glavie with 2 attacks.

devil arrow + combo is ideal for grinding, and doesnt take much time.

I do wonder why everybody in stronghold is always farming with a bow if glavie would be so much faster.
