High level SP farming....really worth it?

Post by Stefan7487 »

Well people in my guild are telling me I should farm at 64 instead of keeping the 3-6 lvl gap that I have now. Right now I am 53, basically 54 and leveling is indeed tough with the gap, but I am making it by. Along with this, from 50-53 I made over 10k sp, which after using at 53 brought the gap back down to a 3 levels and left me with just under 5k sp.

Now, my questions to the higher levels here, or have had experience of higher level farming are:

1) Should I stick with my gap of 3-6 til I reach the cap or should I bring my gap to 0 and just farm at 64?
2) Are the benefits of farming at 64 really worth it?
3) If I was to do this lvl64 farming, how would I go about doing so? Would I bring my masteries to 64...then from 64-70 just not add any?

Thanks for all input, I am just nervous at the consequences if I jump right into a 0 gap....even though leveling would be incredibly faster, sp would no doubtedly run low.

fire bull is already at lvl 60 :) ...most people here AFAIK are just going to the cap with a 0 lvl difference and when they reach lvl 70 they delvl everything to lvl 61 and farm^^

Can I ask the question, "HOW" do you get to cap with 0 gap and such little SP? Using skills seems to be very essential to being able to kill in a decent manner. Even with + 3 weapons, it's just not enough to easily continue on.

On my L20 on alps, I have a 18 + 3 bow that I've been using since 18, and even with L19 fire skill and the max fire imbue required, it takes me like 6-7 arrows to kill a white tiger, 4-5 for a bandit, and 5-6 for a black tiger. Since that char is going to be a nuker, I'm not going to learn any weapon skills, and I'd perfer to still use a bow to 30. Is the best way to level bow skills to L1 then delevel later?

IMO I think you should just get lv 1 bow skills and not delevel because the hawk and the range increasing skill both help nukers greatly. I am a spear nuker and I and leveling Fire/Lit/Bow just to get the passive and the 2 buffs. It is some extra SP though

what i usually do is climb up the glitched up mountains (perfectly shown by Yeohas) then just sit down. Worked 100% of the time for me if you climb high enough haha :P
