RE: SP Farming/Time

Hello, still new but love the game and as usual, see I have a lot to learn...

My questions are:

1.) How long does it take at level 16 with a non Seal SO* Bow to gain 350,000 SP with the 9 gap?

2.) When you become level 17, you let yourself be killed to level down. Does this however also lower your SP? (I am assuming not but you never know)

Last question: Every time I see the worst pieces of junk as SOS SOM, whatever and they sell for 1 to 2 million. The only gripe I have about that is they are trying to sell them to people whose level is impossible to make that kind of money. But anyway the question is:

3.) Are people even capable to make that kind of money (2-50 million?!!!) in the higher levels WITHOUT SELLING through their trade stand?

10 million seems a little steep for a no +'s (Str, Int, AR, whatever) SOS level 16 bow with low crit but for SP farmers, as I am about to become, I'm sure the demand is high but come on. it seems a little insane no matter how high the demand.

Thanks ahead of time for usuable answers

OK I lied, out curiousity...

4.) Do SOM Level 16 bows exist? (Even though rare?) And whats best to kill to get a chance though rare for one to drop?

sorry yet another question after reading some of the replies regarding SP Farming:

5.) Gold Ticket: What is it? Who do I get it from? How? Where?
Thanks

#1 Answered thanks to a reply from JeSsi3JaiJai from another question. looks like about 10.5 months at his rate (97k in three months)

Also I will just take the assumption that deleveling to 16 from 17 through dying doesnt bother your SPxp. So #2 answered

for 1)
r u farming all the SPs ull ever need?
350k? thats way too much, i dont think ull ever need that much SP
i suggest maybe farm 200k for now
ull get so bored SP farming,

if u really want 350k, probably take u over 1 year. depends on how many hours u play
i farmed 15k SP at lv 16 and it toke me over 1 week
ull stay at fortress for at least

2)
i dont suggest u repeat dying, ull get mad
just keep lv up.
theres nothing wrong with it

1.) How long does it take at level 16 with a non Seal SO* Bow to gain 350,000 SP with the 9 gap?

O.o. It would take a few monthes even with a nice bow and gold ticket. Without sos would take you like a year. But then it all depends on how long you play a day.

2.) When you become level 17, you let yourself be killed to level down. Does this however also lower your SP? (I am assuming not but you never know)

No, you don't lose SP only XP. You lose SP if you get murder status and someone kills you. So when deleveling, don't go murder.

3.) Are people even capable to make that kind of money (2-50 million?!!!) in the higher levels WITHOUT SELLING through their trade stand?

It is very possible to make 2-50mil. People have made hundreds of millions through trading, stalling, selling stuff ect. But is it possible to make that on your first char at level 16, probably not. Also, don't pay 10mil for a SOS+0 16 bow because that's way overpriced. They are more like 4-6mil clean right now. The reason SOS 16 bows are so expensive is because they are highly sought after for the same reason you want one, to farm.

4.) Do SOM Level 16 bows exist? (Even though rare?) And whats best to kill to get a chance though rare for one to drop?

Yes SOM and SOSun 16 bows both exist, but they are extremely pricy. Like tens to hundreds of millions. Heres a pic of one.

well, thats an eye opener LOL

Thank you all for great answers but was wondering still what level creatures are needed to hunt in order to get a level 16 item.

In other words, can a level 0 creature drop that bow?
or is it more like Bandits and Tigers?

Thanks again.

I think bandits are your best shot. Anything below 16 won't do and anything too high will drop next level weapon. So like bandits and black tigers.

you can try at lvl 16, if you learn how to do it behind JMs back.
cant pk till lvl 20 :roll:

now with scrolls its easier to kill urself, or just go to dw and go outside and attack earth ghosts and set ur return point to dw

Ell · Post by **Ell** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 1:26 am

Well if you farm to 20 and want to delevel it would work...kinda. But it's fastest if you have someone to res you, and if you don't, then yah the best way to go DW east gate and get killed by earth ghosts.

JeSsi3JaiJai · Post by **JeSsi3JaiJai** » Sun Jan 07, 2007 7:36 pm

well, it depends if u r pure str or int, or hybrid. i m pure str. my bow is som+5, i can't 1 hit kill archer since last 2 weeks, when u able to 1 hit kill archers, u can get around 3-4k a day, only if u play like 4 to 6 hours a day at least....... archers farm much faster than bandis. but dont come to ks me if u in venice, i will hit 110k tonight and start to lv.....

btw, if u r pure int or hybrid, u dont need a som+5 to 1 hit kill, just lv to 20 then delevel to 16 so u get the bonus.. and get a sos+3 or +5 to 1 hit kill archers if u r pure int, not sure about hybrid,

Keep a lvl gap of 9. your character lvl 16 and your highest mastery to lvl 7.

once to 17, delvl to 1 or 2 to lvl 16. repeat this process for how many times you get at 17. dont lvl up!.

Gold ticket is a silk item, that you buy from the item mall. silk is the e-currency that you get for real money. $30 is 300 silk. Gold ticket will HELP get the SP you need in half the time. Gold ticket will give you twice as much SP and twice as much exp that you normally get. so if you get 200SP from a bandit, GT will make it 400SP= 1SP on your counter.

You can only use GT 3 hours per day tho, and next day 3 more hours etc etc.

350k SP thats a little too much, maybe 200k and you will be set, thats what im aiming for.

without GT you might spend 4 months to get 100k or 200kSP but WITH GT it will be down to 1-2 months if you use your GT correctly and if you play for about 3-4hours a day maybe more now that is winter and cant really go outside in the cold lol.

you can use master tablets. they increase the druability of your equipments. when i get home ill post what i use.

Before Alchemy 6mill.

After Alchemy... Not for sale. Priceless.

hey wasup man hmmmm do you mean the jade or ruby tabs. all I seened was jade tablets. I don't know how to post up a pic I wanted to show you my sos lvl 16 bow and ask you if you have a red durability on your bow can you take it off. If ya don't mind can you explain how to post a pic here thanks

Ell · Post by **Ell** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 4:49 am

The red durability decrease can never be removed or lowered. Only way is to increase the actual durability and reinforce values.
