My favorite way of SP farming

Post by Sroge »

First off i dual box, so this method is not for everyone. After playing my main character 4 or 5 months i opened up another account for my 2nd pc. And what i do is tape down the control key on my 2nd pc so while running the 1st i can click and kill on the 2nd.

So while im doing trade runs or buying low and selling high i just reach over with the 2nd pc and click away. Of course already having a main character i have SoM glavies from 8 to 32. I only took cold to 6 for the cold imbue. I tried the farming at bandit den but that was more of a pain that what it was worth.

Instead of deleveling i just don't raise the gap. So at the moment my 2nd char is lvl 22 with a 16 gap. The purpose is just to level slow, anything after a 9 level gap really don't help much. I figured it was better then wasting levels deleveling.

Not only that SP almost come in at the same speed if you SP farming greens, all you need to do is find a highly populated spot. 16 gap with 20k all from just using some down time on my main character. Why start a 2nd character on the same account as your main anyhow? Works for me, don't pray for miracles, the 20k sp took 5 to 6 weeks, but you got to remember its all while doing normal play with my main character.

Hopefully this info is usefull to someone. Ohh yah and lvl 6 ice is all i have for skills, i have yet to add anything else. I figured i would wait till 250k and what i decide to make. I been putting all points into STR because i know my next will be pure STR just don't know what kind.

but you can get 20k in a couple weeks of farming, alot more if you're hardcore.

You can do 2 things badly or one well. I choose doing one well.

To be honest you'd be better off grinding your main in a share party with your alt on trace.

16 level gap?

There's no incentive for anything higher than 9 except less damage

I like your idea of using 2 computers. Having a 16 lvl gap is the same as a 9 lvl gap. 20k in 5 weeks, wow im glad im not doing it at your speed or else i'll kill my self or i wont even farm at all. I've been farming for 3wks and i already got 50k without playing 24/7. I'll farm for about 6 hours for 4 days of the week. I start using a gold ticket when i had 25k. I got 21k in one wk with a gold ticket.

I respect that it's your favorite way to farm but it's not effient.

To be honest, I'd use any method that you can stay interested in for enough time to actually get a decent amount of SP, forget the most efficient one.

Um why do you have a 16 gap? IMO farming at level 16 is faster, easier, and more effective.

Sort of on the subject...I'm lvl 16 and only have 10k SP after 2 weeks in bandit stronghold...Am i doing something wrong...No gold ticket but the reason being is the dlvling thing sux and if i used a gold ticket wouldn't i lvl faster too?

Not to mention i am getting a lil burned out,I understand what everyone says 1 hour now is 5 less later but Jesus i see archers in my sleep..Would it be too hard to stop @ say 15k and lvl up just a little and farm somewhere else? The majority seem to say get your 30k @ 16 and then slowly lvl up but the grind is a beast....

Another problem is i just got my hands on an sos lvl 16 bow and some really good gear but if i lvl up i'm going to have to look for new gear...er eh did i just answer my own question...anyways

Yes i have a 9 gap w/ fire ...no points in any other skills...
