Hey everyone,

I would like some opinions from high level players who have allready been there if it is possible to farm SP at lvl 70 under these circumstances:

Pure Int, spear
Lvl 70 (obviously)
Lvl 61 Fire mastery, Maxed Imbue, all Nukes (up to lvl 61)
Lvl 54 Lightning mastery, Maxed Piercing Force, Grasswalkseries, Shouts
Lvl 20 Spear mastery, +192hp (wow^^)

So would i be able to farm SP? Do i miss something? Should I maybe not farm with 9 lvl gap?

The goal would be 70 fire, 70 lightning, 60 spear.

Any hints on where to farm, armor or garment?

And yes, i'm only 5x right now... but these SP issues force to think ahead

well, I'm not a high level, so maybe what I say won't matter, but as far as I know, from observing others, nukers really don't need to have such a high spear mastery. Especially because you are pure int. casting nukes will easily kill any mobs you encounter, and spear moves are comparatively weaker in both pvp and pve. I personally think that it would be a waste of sp to level your spear mastery. Of course, if you are only leveling the passive, then it is a different matter, but is 1000 more hp really worth the 60 useless masteries in spear?

I have plently of friends who sp farm at lvl 70 or so. But they usually start before they reach 70. But as far as I know, you can still grind out pretty good sp at 70.

Thanks for your answer - the heuksal mastery is really only for the 1000hp bonus.
From where i am (lvl20 heuksal) it would cost 14k SP. (according to sp calc at sro.mmosite.com/x )

I mean if I am farming anyway at 70 to get enough points to get Lightning up to 70 as well as the Fire spells another 14k SP aren't so bad. If the farming at 70 is as effectiv as it was at 52 when i farmed some SP (enough to get all skills i wanted at that time) it would only be a few days for 1000hp. I think that would be worth it.

Please if someone has done nuker-sp-farming at 70 tell me what skills you used, what mobs you farmed and which gap you had.

Thanks

Get everything to 61, except Heuksal if you're farming.

well, its not only that you have to farm 14k sp, but that you are locking yourself in mastery cap wise. No one really knows what SRO is doing with the mastery caps. If would be nice if they raised it, but if they don't , you would essentially be sitting on 60 masteries that were leveled for no other reason than 1000 hp increase. But again, its up to you.

I would at least wait for the lvl cap raise that is going to come later this year. Focus on leveling your lightning and fire masteries, and once the cap raise arrives, see if they raised the mastery cap any. If they didn't then the above comment might hold a little more weight.

good point against heuksal..
.. i wonder how much it would cost to remove it completly if you got it to 60 with full passive.

That would be 6 passive.. and 60 masteries.

66 downgrades .. 660 cursed hearts.. and how many millions?

Get Heuksal. You have enough mastery levels.

You don't have to get Heuksal just for the passive. Spear skills are an asset to nukers, especially close quarters PvP. GS from an int does massive damage, and stun from SS FTW.

im not 70 yet but a guildie is

hes farming at 70

pure int s/s

hes 70/70/60sword/60spear

from him this is what ive heard...

he uses medium pots. (nachels do 50-200 on him) (something like that....)
nukes with +3 s/s
make sure ur zombie immune (fire shield + jewelry)
grind/farm just as u'd normally do (NUKENUKENUKE). he mobs a couple on him and uses aoe to maximise the amount of sp he can get per hour.
run a 9gap

hope this helps

take spear 1k hp is alot..

Heuksal definitely worth it.

I don't know about farming at cap, since I'm not yet 70, but IMO the biggest problem is that the cave is crowded
I have farmed at lvl60 on yetis (gone from 60 to 63 with 5lvl gap), and I should have stayed there longer.

Heukusal is definitely worth it, aside from a few vanity spear moves you can use for pvp, as if your nukes weren't enough, there is the passive HP INCREASE every 10 lvls, even if you decide not to lvl up the other spear moves that one will definitely be worth it as the increase in HP is benificiary....
Or you can always just alchemy all your gear to have +str and +hp 150 or so, and that problem is solved

i'm currently farming @ lvl 70

Best mob for int char to farm is Nachal (lvl 69-70 magical mob)

U need to farm Heukusal to at least 60 ... first for the hp buff cause u lack shield therefore u need hp to compensate.... 2nd for the stun and ghost spear both have high (%) behind and can deal as much dmg as a nuke at close range.....

Wear Garment when u sp farm at nachal... they will deal 100-180 dmg on u on every hit ..as seen by pure int spear user here

The mob here come in masses...2-3 at any time hitting u..so ghost spear allow u to hit 3-4 mob at once so its a nice to get that skill from Heukusal

The Stun skill from Heukusal allow u to fight giant Nachal while ur nuke can dish out the dmg

Sorry if what i am saying seems like a hybrid built..... LOL but thats what i will do if i'm spear int

If u are pure int, just take garment, get a good shield, use gap of 9 lvls and a lot of pots & pills, then cross ur fingers and see if there is a little space for u in the room, if u are lucky u will find some room empty and a lot of sp waiting for u, if ur gear is good u can take 3 giants at the same time like this

The max level will get to 90 and new skills will come when it gets raise, but your build is really possible with the 300 masterys allowed, u can go,
90 fire/lightning and 60 heuksay for = 240 masterys (can even get cold to 60 like im doing).
Word on the forums is that max level will be 150 someday but by then u wont be playing i think, i know i wont be or my grandsons lol

i was planing to farm at level 70 also but i read alot of posts on this forums complaining about how crowded the caves are and how hard is it to grind there. especially for me because i am full str blader.
So i am going to do that at level 60 with 9 levels gap.

about your mastries can't help sorry. dunno anything about full int builds but i know they really need hp and 1K hp is a big deal for them..

my plans for full str blader at level 70 is
70 bicheon, 65 fire,60 ice,52 lighting, and if i have enough sp i will go with spear skills just for passive.

am 70 full str fire blader
farming now

intend on building a 70/70/60/60 blader

unless you have farmed alot earlier on, else its really gonna be a pain....

with gold tix, i get about 1.2k to 1.4k sp per day/3 hours....

hope this helps
