If I do about 1k sp a day, that's only 28k for the first ticket. Assuming you get about 70k 0 gapping to 70, that's still only 100k sp. That means I have to SP farm a second month for another 28k.

This is the sp needed for L70 (can't account for more b/c not sure what skills will get upgraded or not, although I could guess it)

At a minimum w/o any Lit for the grasswalk, phantom, parry, and piercing force -
Fire - 34,809 skills + 24,420 mastery
Blade - 78,297 skills + 24,420 mastery

= 161,946 sp

I'm guessing I will need right around 200ksp though for level 70.

This is not looking good :( About 2-3 months of farming then the many many it takes to get to 70. Maybe I'm not ready for all of this after all :cry:

I think it's kind of sad when newbies read all these guys about sp farming, and farm for months and months without barely actually playing, then end up quitting anyway. :(

1k sp a day on GT? WTFBBQ???

I get 1k sp a day with no gt, cuz im a poor bastard and cant get silk, and im not using the free ones I got until level 42+.

Maybe if you stepped up your grind a bit, it wouldnt take so long. My friend says he can get 3k+ sp daily fairly easily on GT. :)

If i really pushed it i could get 2k a day w/o GT...

And I also agree with stallowned.

why not 3gap after farming till about lvl 35 or so? That would help a little bit...Maybe only slightly but still... hehe :)

Farming huge amounts is for those players that wanna 0-gap all the way (makes the grind more easier).

But I've read somewhere that 5 lvl gapping to 60, takes the same amount of time if you farmed 75-100k in the bandit den at 16.

Not ice,fire or lightning but EARTH Force.. With earth force you don't even need a weapon. Just throw earth rocks at your opponents.

To avoid the farming crap until level 70 but still 0 gap, I've levelled up my 2 sub masteries to 30 and now only level up my weapon tree. If you're a nuker, you'd stick with Fire, blader stick with blade skills, etc.

You wont get 70k sp with 0 levels gap if you do quests.

it is pointless to sp farm now that they are rasing the cap. There will be no more new skills, just "supposedly" more mastery lvls. Again, 0 point in farming.

only bots in stronghold (like HEO idiots on bable) can farm enough SP to lvl 70. For start try get 50-100k SP how much u can then play on some 3-4 gap and farm again 50-100k @ 55-64 lvl thats would be more then enough. Still if u need more u can farm @ 70 too.

So no points farm zillions of SP and waste months just on farming,when u can enojoy in normal play.

Of course normal play when thres no lag and all bots finaly be blocked!

Just practice at it. I get 3k a day farming at bandit den.

I'm going ahead and getting a LOT more then I'll need, just so I'll be set all the way til 80.

Do I really need to explain my post? From lvls 70-80 you will get that extra 50-100k sp that everyone farms at the stronghold or in the caves. Would I do a 0 lvl gap? No, but I would do 3-5 (probably 3) and just play the game from lvl 0-80 while avoiding quests that dont reward sp. Sorry if my previouspost confused you, didn't think it was all that complicated...

I never see you on Athens cyrax =(

Haha, I'm starting up a new char as well, looking to make 175k sp roughly.

As for the original poster, are you farming with a sos bow? on a 9 gap? If you are, can you atleast 2 hit + imbue kill archers?

Here's how I prep'ed my farming char. I went 0 gap from lvl 1-25. From lvl 1-25 I lvled only my heuskal mastery, 2 lvls of the first skill and one lvl of the 3rd skill. From lvls 20-25 I collected curst hearts so I could delvl my heuskal and the 3rd skill so I could get back down to lvl 7 mastery. The reason for all of this is so I can get the stat points of a lvl 25 but at lvl 16. Obviously I delvled myself down to 16, from 25. Make sure you pimp out ALL your equipment and make sure you only put int for your stat point distribution (if you are going hybrid or pure int). Going pure str is not a viable option for this as you will not do enough damage.

This way of doing it allows you to use a sos +5 lv16 bow instead of using a som or sosun if you don't have the funds or can't find one your price. I currently usually 1 hit archers and sometimes it'll take me 2 hits. Using antidevil or double arrow takes too long and archers pop up fast enough to just use imbue and a regular arrow. I tested it out last night, I can farm roughly 600 sp in around an hour even with other people in the same area as me. People just can't compete with you if you 1 hit archers. Furthermore, even if they partially hit the archer, you will do enough dmg to it to receive pretty much the same amount of sp/exp as if you killed it first. By the way, that 600 sp in an hour, that's w/o gold ticket, so 1200 with gold ticket in around an hour, 3600 in 3 hours.
