Blade/Fire/Lightning Farming

Post by makisquirrel »

At last, I decided to farm some SP. I just started this new Character (pure STR) and since it levels really slow, I wan't to do some SP farming in the beginning, so that I can continue to, let's say, 45, with a 0-2 LVL gap.

1) Will this be a good idea?
2) How much SP should i farm, if this is my future build:
Max everything in Bicheon (except Smash & Strike, and Castle Shield)
Max everything in fire (except for Fire Wall and Flame Wave series)
Max everythinh in lightning (except for Imbue and Lion shout and Nuke)
3) Should I even take Lightning as sub, it seems that most skills are more usefull to a pure INT
4) How long will this take me (to farm the given amount of SP), assuming that I can play 3 hrs a day?
5) What weapon should I use to farm (i'm planning on a LVL16 SOS blade, but possibly a bow will farm lots faster)

This is it, I think, would you guys help me?

I dont see why not

you'll need grasswalk for sure, and parry/ghost walk would help

4) How long will this take me (to farm the given amount of SP), assuming that I can play 3 hrs a day?
3 hrs a day.. a long long time =o

5) What weapon should I use to farm (i'm planning on a LVL16 SOS blade, but possibly a bow will farm lots faster)
bow to farm at bandits camp, get lvl 1 light imbue to pull/kill multiple mobs (thats what i did)

This is it, I think, would you guys help me?

Is it oke if I farm for about 20k+ on SP. From then on continue and then get to 4x and farm again. I'll stay with a 2-3 LVL gap.

Will this be working since you will earn SP all the time?

Well thats going from my mastery and skills at level 17 to the absolute amount needed at level 70. The advice i was given was keep witha 4 level gap after farming a bit at level 16 and go from there.

around 10k will be fine for lvl 30-35 i guess.. Best will prob be to farm minimum 20k SP at low lvls, then just keep a 4-5 gap until 40ish..

So i'll go for 20k, then keep a 2 LVL gap and take my masteries to, let's say 33, and farm some more in about LVL 42.

BTW... How long will it take me to farm 20k?

Any other comments?

Not ignoring you LordAmps, but I don't wan't to have a 4 LVL gap, I wan't a 2 LVL gap, at most. How much SP will it require to get to the next farming position in the 40's (42 I think, so skills @ 33)...

Please help, tommorow I'll go out and get to 16...

It is my opinion, that a STR blader almost certainly needs maxed grasswalk. It is tough to damage people when your ranged attacks suck and you can't catch when they flee from you. :twisted:

1) Will this be a good idea?
YEP
2) How much SP should i farm, if this is my future build:
Max everything in Bicheon (except Smash & Strike, and Castle Shield)
Max everything in fire (except for Fire Wall and Flame Wave series)
Max everythinh in lightning (except for Imbue and Lion shout and Nuke)
If you want to lvl with 0 gap, you need to farm 75k+(to have enouph sp for lvl60+)

3) Should I even take Lightning as sub, it seems that most skills are more usefull to a pure INT
Yes!, you need grass walk book 1,2 it makes lvling a lot faster(you can get from 1 monster to the next faster)

4) How long will this take me (to farm the given amount of SP), assuming that I can play 3 hrs a day?
3 hours a day ~1.25ksp ,,2.5k with gold ticket
5) What weapon should I use to farm (i'm planning on a LVL16 SOS blade, but possibly a bow will farm lots faster)
lvl16 sos bow or better (you can constantly kill and not move)
