Blade/Fire/Lightning Farming

makisquirrel · **Joined:** May 2006 **Posts:** 303 **Location:**

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?

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?

The calculator doesn't work for me, it works when I insert stuff, but it can't calculate...

makisquirrel · **Joined:** May 2006 **Posts:** 303 **Location:**

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?

um..i have the same build as you and this is the sp calculators results:

Required SP: 186,060

*what... the... hell...*

Then go Fire only?

Amps · **Joined:** Apr 2006 **Posts:** 667 **Location:**

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.

Alright... I was talking about the Fourty's. You just saved me from a heart-attack.

makisquirrel · **Joined:** May 2006 **Posts:** 303 **Location:**

So I really should farm SP, since the FIRE/BLADE build levels tooo slow. Is 10/15k enough?

Nannari · **Joined:** Apr 2006 **Posts:** 323 **Location:**

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..

makisquirrel · **Joined:** May 2006 **Posts:** 303 **Location:**

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?

Amps · **Joined:** Apr 2006 **Posts:** 667 **Location:**

A looong time, i would just stick with the 4 level gap after farming about 5-10k at level 16.

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:

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)

With all Bicheon usefull skills maxed, the fire maxed out tottally, except for the nuke and fire-wall. Lightning maxed out too, all the parry up things, and the Grasswalk things. WTF, that ain't much!
