Do Any of you Real farmers feel like uv wasted ur life?

Post by Xbox_Live_ »

well before power leveling we all went to the bandit's den to farm... i made a hybrid s/s for my 1st char... got bored and started farming with a sos lvl 16 bow... and then progressed to a som +5 full som set... now i thought i was pretty good, it took me 11 months to get 40k sp! and i was happy with my self! now i just see all these noobs getting 50k sp a day... makes me feel like i wasted so much of my life with such little sp... i did get somthing out of it tho... thats experiance and 11 sox drops and alot of gold.. but i dont think it was worth it... do you?

Dont think about it that way :love: . You earn every single point of sp back then, and thats something that we had to do if we wanted alot of sp. It is the nature of the game, and that goes for every aspect of the game since. You mightve spent alot of time, but as you said it yourself, you made a lot of good memories too, so its worth it :).

Took me like a month to farm the 80k sps I needed at Bandit's Den before the european update. I'm glad because of the sungsungs (normal ones), means no botters means I could farm 100k sps at lvl 42 without any problem :love:

Yeah its pretty depressing that people can get 1 million SP being powerfarmed in about 2 months now >.>

But that's just the game, I would not regret it though, because you worked for yours unlike the others :wink:.

I farmed 95k sp, when I was done, euro was launched 2 weeks later (damn, I was REALLY angry that I farmed so much on a chinese char (that time euro's looked really cool to me..now I don't like them but that's another story)

It took me around 2,5 monthts (1,5 wihtout sp ticket, 1 month with) not the fastest, but not the slowest those days to :)

I think i've never regretted it, im now 53 and I still enjoy my sp :D (tho I have just 8K left now.) Gunna farm at power earth ghosts in caves :twisted:

11 month o.O
it took me 28 days (Full GT+Silver Skill) to farmed 60K 3hrs. a day
If u didn't had GT & Skill Ticket then u should have gotten about 20K on 28Days farming 3hrs a day

took me about 2.5 months to get my 50k... i didn't really farm at the bandits all the time, when it got crowded i moved to chakji workers and stuff, so that probably slowed me down...

but I don't necessarily think it's wasted... my char would be even lower lvl now if i hadn't farmed it then... and I wouldn't be able to plvl my cleric now if it was lower... so yeah..

althought i think farming at the bandit den nowadays is pointless...

If you wanna farm a really big amount you have to buy a spt + pt. It's a waste of time to try and farm 100k+ with no silk.

Yeah, i my self farmed 205k sp at the den, with another friend of mine. He farmed 200k i believe. I had som+5 bow fully blued with som/sosun full blue protector set, was pretty sweet, took me like 3 months. But yeah it does seem like i wasted my time a bit, to see how people can just get powerleveld now kind of makes me a little sad. But anywho, it was fun.

.....You know, if you had spend that time just playing normally, you wouldn't be fully farmed, but in 4 months you could have been 72+..quite possibly 80 with tickets. I've said farming is a waste of time and I stand by it. Sure, you will be 80 with a total of 250k sp or something similar, but you would enjoy the game much more than someone that spent months farming. If you gapped from 70 to 80.99, you would still be fully farmed in the end.

haha... I think so.. after farming 450k of sp... reached Lv70 and came to the peruvian jungle for vacations... I decided to quit the game. It's easier to quit it while you are away from it. Now I received an opportunity to study into Med. School, and I am training my brain, because it was fat fat fat due to silky addiction. ^^ I'm concious I wasted some little part of my life into silky, but hey! I don't have regrets ^^ After all.. you live only once :P

PD: My signature still says soon to be nursing school student... but I quitted that option =_= Can't change it because it says: No more than 200 pixels plz... pffft =_=

Yea, i remember when ppl were shocked, and surprised when you show them your char with 200-250k SP. But now, you wont surprise them with 300-400k SP :(

Maybe one of the smarter people that play this game. I agree. If you are going to farm start around lvl 65 or 67. Why waste your time at lvl 16. You got to lvl then de lvl then lvl then de lvl. Its pretty gay to farm and spend half you time de lvling. If you maintain a 4 or 5 gap from lvl 1-80 you will be fairly well farmed. Its a heck of alot easier and more profitable to farm at high lvl.

Or... you could powerfarm 400k in a week and get to 72+ in 2 weeks by powerleveling. 250k+ sp left, fully farmed, and 72+ in about a month... Oh yeah, farming is a total waste of time :roll:

[Reminder, euros are still a bitch to farm on, so if you do it early... viola, problem solved.]
