I'm about to farm soon as a pure str glaive, I got myself a nice 52+5 glaive ( no moneys for sos) , and my question now is when to start.
Either at 52 when I get the weapon, 54 for fire imbue level 45 or 56 for a new weapon + a few more skills.

I'm farming at penons and I don't think Mujigi\Ujigi is an option, WAY too many bots and dumb power levelers.


Thanks.

Well since you dont have an sos, farm at 56 so you get a new weapon and the new fire imbue. that should give not as much damage as an sos but will help you out greatly.

If it will be +4 or +5 it will do much more damage than a sos..

the reinforces is what makes the sos special, but since you will be at 56 with the new +5 that will help you farm just as well. you just wont be getting as much exp per kill as you would if you could be killing the same mob at lvl 52.

So why not 54 or 52 ? I would kill a bit slower but gain more SP.

Because at 54 you get the new skills but at 56 you get the new weapon, you need both to do as much damage as a 52 sos would do.

3 Things needed for successful farming
1. 9gap (max sp per kill)
2. weapon (Best you can afford)
3. Mob (fast spawn rate / can be killed quickly)

You need to maximize those 3 things. I would personally recommend farming with 64+5 (or better) on power earth ghosts.

Reason is their are many power earth ghost rooms so finding an empty one shouldn't be to hard.
They also drop some d8 items.
Great spawn rate


Generally gear > skills. I wouldn't even consider lvl 54 just for imbue.

If you must farm on ice for a little sp to get you ready for L64, do it at L56. New weapon, and farm penon warriors - fewer bots, plvlers since aggro mobs.

I'd tuck up masteries and race to 64, then delvl mastery to 55. Hit caves and farm pegs through L67, eg warriors to L70. Better spawn rates in cave. Smaller rooms = faster killing/less running, and D8 items/tabs.

Good luck :)

Farm at 56 if you find a good weapon, if you can 2hit yetis farm there, if you can't stay at penon warrios.


Right here (no gold bots at all there, and hardly any botter)

I walked all around Karakoram for a few days (killed a bit too) and I found a few places with fighters that aren't crowded, and that the warriors are COMPLETELY EMPTY so I guess they are perfect.


So if I'm farming at 56, should I get the 47 combo ?


Btw, how long will it take to get 50k SP on 200% SP increase (both tickets) ?
And for the farming, what's worth to get, 100% SP and EXP ticket or Premium ticket ?

Depends on your speed of grinding. I would just grind for an hour recording your sp before and after then use that number to appoximate your sp per hour and that will tell you how many hours you need to get said sp you want.

What about premium ticket vs golden ticket ?

Can anyone answer if I should get the 47 combo if I'm farming @ 56, and also the question above, thanks.
Sorry for bumping btw.

If you lvl to 56 the sp you get per kill will drop A LOT. If you were to farm on low lvl mobs you get very little sp per kill.

Also IMO you should never be on a mob you can 1 hit, that is for nukers. A soul spear+mars takes only slightly more time and you can kill a much higher lvl mob. (Im not a glavier I know its not mars, but that series).
Or throw + mars or ss, something like that.


And seriously check out the caves, power earth ghosts at 64.

Power earth ghosts = physical or magical ?

I think I'll farm 50-80k SP on penon warriors ( might get a SOS glaive after all) and then level to 64 and farm again, but this time much more, is that a good plan ?

PEG=physical
and yeah farming at both 52 and 64 is fine

Is there a better farming place in 64+ levels ? One I will have the third soul spear ( 58 ) maybe ?

farm a little both at 52 and 64 if u cant decide.
get sp enough to get ur 3 main masteries to 70 or 71

then farm at lv 79-80.

thats ideal. farm at cap
