Do you sp farm?
If you do, claim your reason, amount of SP farming, and why.
A lot of people sp farm 30-80K but I don't understand why. You need like 100K+ between 50-70, if you want to keep a 0 lvl difference the whole game, sp farming is a waste of time, might as well keep a 5 lvl difference the whole game.

to keep it short, if you keep a lvl5 gap, you will run out of sp at around lvl50+. And to get to lvl50 with 5 lvl gap lets just say it will take you 2 month, if you farm all your sp and lvl with 0 gap,you can be in the same spot in a month and 1/2.(1 month sp farm)(2 week lvling). So sp farming saves time in the long run.
I farmed 30k at 16, and now, at lvl 39, I'll be able to keep a 0/1 all game, leveling a LOT faster than if I had to farm those 30k later on in the game. It becomes a lot more necessary if you're a str blader, as you'll likely need in excess of 100k SP, and you'll never kill as efficiently as you did in the den.
Being a bastard works.

I only farmed about 10k SP because it was too repetitive and I've gone impatient, which I now regret. Right now I only have a 2 lvl difference(lvl 25), I only max out my mastery when there is skills(e.g Nukes) that will help me out grinding.
My previous character was a STR fire blader. I have kept a lvl 5 diff from 1-37. Even with a gold ticket, it was way too slow for me... this was when I didn't know about farming sp at lvl 16.

I'm doing semi-ly-the-same. Every 10 levels and key levels i'll stop raising masteries until everything that is required to level quick is maxed.
EG: If I were a nuker, at level 30 i'll stop raising masteries until I have all the passives I need and the nukes.
No matter how much SP you've farmed, a level 50 will squash a level 40. Also, since i'm on a new server it's important to have a decently leveled character, otherwise i'd be the union bitch (i'm already like 20 levels past the 2nd lowest active player in the union

you won't be able to lvl to lvl70 with 0 gap...u won't be able to get any skills at lvl30+ and disabling you to efficiently Pve, leading to slow lvling and eventaully not lvling at all.
Uh, I'm level 52, and I've been able to get every new book of every ability I wanted, or needed at the level it appeared.

I never really farmed, the biggest gap I have had is 4 and only for a very short period. I'm currently level 54. Do I have all my skills maxed, nope, are they high enough yes. Keeping my bow skills up wil cost me ~ 750-1000 sp per level, fire about the same. It's not too tough to keep up with a 0-3 level gap unless you insist on leveling every skill.
