When is it a good idea to quit SP farming?

DPTR · Post by **DPTR** » Mon Mar 27, 2006 2:55 am

Hey guys,

I've been SP farming for my newbie Spear/Light/Int/nuker for almost 2 weeks straight now, and have collected 4k+ sp. I think if I try any more... I'll go blind. So is this an ok spot to stop farming? Or should I keep going to a certain number?

Thanks for the assistance!

Someone said it before here that SP farming should not be a job. Its a game, have fun.

Thats good amount sp for your character lvl.

You can SP farm whenever you want. You can stop whenever you want. The whole idea is to be able to get all the skills you want to get. If you start running low, stop getting skills for a while until you save up some more.

If they don't die from fire nuke, lit nuke, shock lion shout, the next thing to try is a ghost petal all up in they grill. And with that spear, in your 30s, even a pure INT will get several hundred extra damage from a crit on a white mob.

i think that's photoshopped.

what are the odds of having a 17 crit.

and if you look closely. I htink the "Seal of Sun" is copied and pasted. If you can't tell, I must have a really really good monitor.

Nice spear, but I don't think it exists.

i'm a noob wondering, why people farm SP? is it easier to get to the nxt sp lvl ( say 399 to 400 ) then as to ' used up all 399 " then try get from 0 to 1? really wanna know why people save up? sure if you wanna save up for a particular skill you would do that but other then that reason ( why would you save 4k sp for example ) i really see no reason, unless what i was saying earlier is correct hehe

To Nss

I think i can explain to u y? speak from my own exp

the very 1st char i played, i levelled up everytime, ie my char level and masteries level are always zero. by the time i'm lvl 20, my masteries were only at the most 18/19 (for 1), and for some others, much lower. this is not to say the skills learned, it's very much much lower, y? becoz i dun hv da the skill points. i totally give up this char

i'll suggest at least to farm a bit, so tat u can learn the skills that u desire

2 weeks & only 4k sp?I guess you farm from lv 1.
Start farming from 16 with 7 max mastery(9 lv gap).
If i were to start a new char,i will have 12k by the 14th day.
I get 1000 sp per 3hour 30min grinding without xp scroll.I play average 5 hours a day.
3 1/2 hour grinding, 1 1/2 hour to restock & looking for cheap sos to resell.

keep this in mind when your doing this build. i myself am a lvl 45 nuker, and i sp farmed as well. most of my skills went into lightening and i brought up my spear mastery for the passive. at lvl 41, i decided to get my second nuke, fire. up to this point i had not put any sp into fire, so i was starting fresh. i raised my fire mastery to lvl 41, and raised my fire nuke to lvl 41 as well. i didnt even put any sp into anything else within the fire mastery. i ended up using about 3400 sp alone for that. so just for two nukes at lvl 41 your looking at 6800 sp( that includes bringing up your mastery to 41, and your nuke to 41), and thats without any other skills.

just some food for thought ^^

I have to agree woth SHIVA, you are going to need alot of sp and pretty much semi farm sp even after you are done spfarming your main chunk of 10-30k sp. I am a full in fire and light nuker...I farmed about 20k sp with 9 lvl gap till 27. From that point I have left a 3 lvl gap and have used about 20k sp give or take a few thousand..I had about 13k left at lvl 40. I get full light buffs and nukes except no imbue and all fire skills that are useful for a int user. With cap raised to 70 there is no way you cannot semi farm most of your way w/o being behind in skills. Good luck with your build.

Os if i stuck to say a 5 level gap from level 9-20 then took a 3 level gap from there on out would I be fine for the rest of the game if i need appoximately 40k SP for my final build?

EDIT: I looked closely at the SoSun spear and it holds water. Border thinkness, coloration, and consistency held water alll the way up to 8x zoom. The fonts are messed up due to the pixelation of the format, which appears to be Jpg or Jpeg, or even bmp. All colors and fonts are true to text and there is little or no displacement of letters in the words. The only thing I haven't checked for is the spacing between mods of the SoSun, which is hard to do without a comparable picture of known origionalty and purity.
