farming worth the effort in the long run?

Post by penfold1992 »

ive farmed for just 1 week and no im not getting bored of it yet.
i dont hav gt or sp or any ticket at all. i am a pure int nuker (using bow to farm)

i need to farm 100k sp and then maintain a 3 lvl gap to max fire and lighting up to lvl 90.

is this really worth it, 3 lvl gap is quite tiresome after a while and 100k sp will take me another 9 weeks to reach! i dont hav money to get plvled either :(
i know if i dont farm i will probably regret it but thats only 2 skill trees, ill need another 100k sp at least to get ice after i hit 90 and i wont be that good at pvp either as i dont hav the snow shield and most euros can 1hit me :(

thanks for comments

Farming at lower levels is alot easier than farming at higher so its better to farm now than leave it.

You should just ask people at ongs for a party, there is some nice people.

/Being pure int you will need ice

so what should i do, farm 100k and keep a 3 lvl gap?
then wait till 90 and ice after.
im not too worried about pvp atm im more concerned about being a higher lvl!
or should i farm 200k and try to get a lil bit of ice too :)

OR, farm 100k then get a prem and sp ticket with a 3lvl gap to get fire light and ice

You should sp farm at a higher lvl so you don't have to waste so much time delvling.

2 ways.
farm at 72 or farm like a lowbie:)
At lvl72 farming gear is rly expensive, at least sos gear, and you _WILL_ need a rly good weapon, like lvl72+7, or sun.
And this is like 1.5-2billion gold, BUT, you have the awesome possiblity to get a highlvl sun drop >_< and you wont have to delvl so many times.
At lowlvl, like 16, you can get a pro farming gear for like 200kk, all in all. But, you got only lowlvl sox drops+many, many, delvl stuff.
(the best delvl places are at death flowers or ultra devils, if you have a resser friend, so delvling takes only 10-15mins(+the time for reaching the spot).
^^
Take your pick.

Edit:
to the highlvl part
either you farm at lvl64 with a sox weapon(200-400kk depending on stats and the +), or at lvl72 with the last tier of weapon and full sox d8 gear >_<
AND, you have to specialize on mobs.
Im full int, using garms at lvl72 with a sun bow, and farming on nachals.
Or, if you are a full str build, use armors or at least prots and farm at lvl72 on yachas, or at lvl64 on PEG's.
The best way to farm for me is a share pt beside me, coz this way the bots will be depleted rly fast, and i can farm undisturbed(coz there are too much mobs)

why don't you try farming with 10-12 gap, so you won't need to spend 2hrs of delvling.
the xp amount gain would lower drastically, and the sp would remain the same I think.

Nuker farming goes fastest 72 9 gapped with a +5 s/s or spear with garments in nachals. (if nachals aren't packed).

Wth are you laughing at...

You can always farm on any moment just open a big gap.

You will get good drops at higher lvl ==> more gold.

And if you mean you have still a change to get pfarmed @ ongs then gl with dlvling..

I prefer to farm later or get pfarmed later at penons or something.. no dlvling and you also have a higher lvl char so you can also do something in pvp cause you will get bored at Ongs.

yea, i plan to farm at a higher level as well, and i don't feel like i missed out in the den or ongs...better to get all the skills, level up and have other gameplay options rather than die of boredom farming at a lower level...

Definitely worth it to farm. Going to have to do it sooner or later. Faster at lower levels, yet the excitement of getting a nice drop at higher levels spurs you on. Doing it in stages is also an alternative, but will actually be slower since you need good equips at each stage.
