Right now im a Lv 21 Fire Blader. I have 2100ish HP and 700ish MP, and wield a crappy Lv 16+2 SOS Sword. Hunting for Ghost Bug Eggs and I have problems with Devil Bugs....If I fight a Giant Devil Bug with Zerk, I'll only get it to half HP when zerk is over.

Right now I have a Lv 9 gap which I had since Lv 10, and I have 6,000 SP right now. My Lv 70 skills would cost 150k SP about.....but i'll probally never get past lv 50.

Anyway, I am wondering about that Korean SP Farming at Bandit Stronghold. I heard that they farm 30k SP at the stronghold, but I never heard about what they do after. Is that 30k SP enough to allow them to use a Lv 0 Gap through the course of the game?

I am wondering because I wanna close my Lv 9 gap down to a 6 Gap, but I don't know if i'll collect enough SP along the way to at least get me to at least 100k SP.

30k is nowhere near enough to 0 gap to 70. 60, maybe but adter the cap raise you need a LOT more sp to 0 gap all game

still dont answer the dudes question how many SP will he need to get to lvl 60/70 whit 0 gap ........

play the game the way you enjoy it... too many people seem to take the game like a chore/job like they have to sp farm, its a game people do what you think is fun, dont just farm cause u think you need to, you wanna close that gap? so close it, whats the worst that can happen? that you run low on sp ... so dont level em up and drop back down to a 7/8 gap to recover... i think bake wrote a "guide" about how leveling with a 6 level gap is better anyway as you gain a decent amount of sp while leveling..

play the game, dont let the game play you

i done 1500sp per lvl in the thirthies, just 3/gap with gold ticket, pwnz0r

You're in the same boat I am right now. Here is the way I understand it, and if anyone wants to jump in and correct me, that'd be great.

First off, use this calculator to input the skill you already have on the left side and then the skills you want to have when your character is finished on the right side:

http://sro.mmosite.com/x/

This will give you a total number of SP that you will need to get from where you are at right now to when you are done with your character at level 70.

Now look at this chart:

http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0125557/sro/spgain.html

This chart shows how much SP you will gain per level using each level gap that you might decide to use throughout the game. Gran a calculator and add up the column starting at where you are (in this case level 21) and add up all the SP between level 21 and level 70 using the level gap that you would like to use the rest of the game.

Now subtract this amount that you just added up from the total amount generated by the XP calculator from the first site and you will know how much SP you need to farm before prcoeeding with your normal level gap to level 70.

As far as I can tell that's it. Proceed to tell me I'm screwed up if I am, this is just what I've deciphered from reading other people's posts, and if I'm wrong I'd like to know now before I spend a long time farming up more SP than I have to.

i got to calculate, u need about 150k sp to get to lvl 70 and using about 3 masterys 2 lvl 70 and 1 lvl 55, but what ponder says is true, play it to have fun and play it the way u like it =P

Thx ^^ that Calculator and chart really helped!

I was following this one guide on this site which said 6 level gap from 21-28 and a 8 lv gap from 30-37. I was ok until I noticed that it said you'd have 20k SP after following the guide....which I found out isn't a lot.

Using that chart, I found out his adding was wrong....from 21-37 with a 6/8 gap, i'd get 50,35 sp....then I'll have enough time to get 100k for lv 70 ^^

If you don't think you'll even get upto the 50's, dont farm at all/ just keep a 2 lvl gap uptil there. If you want to get upto the cap, then you've got 2 options.

a) farm 100k at the stronghold and then 0 lvl gap upto 70.

(this is what a lot of people do nowadays because they think - better get over with it now and have fun lvling with all the skills you could possibly want)

b) go upto lvl 70 with 0 lvl gap the whole way learning minimal skills and the delevel your masteries to a 9 lvl gap and farm in the cave.

(you'll get there a lot faster than before and it's much more fun to farm at higher lvls coz of lots of skills/hp/grasswalk)

You can see what the benefits of doing each one are. If you pick the first option, you'll have a tiresome time getting the sp+it'll take longer to get it. If you pick the second option, then you'll find it difficult to lvl up sticking to just an imbue, and 2 wep skills as your 0 lvl gap wont let you do much until you farm at the cap

Yup i agree with ponder. Just leave 3 - 5 lvl gap and just play along with the game. I personally don't farm and left a near-constant gap of 5 lvls
