Hello,
I'm warrior/cleric lvl 82, both mastery at lvl 80, I need to farm for lvl 90.
I'd like to know what is the best choice for farming:

1)skill back mastery to 73 to have gap 9
2)gap 0 until 90,premium+( for 30k sp quest) and ticket sp
3)gap 0 until 90, and skill back mastery to 81

I grind on mobs 85-87, full party, around 2h per day

I'd like to have advices

euros have a problem when they open a gap,,,cuz they can't equip gear at there lvl..but mastery lvl...antinokes would be great for farming cuz of high spawn rate, but probably less share pts...so farm at 90 where u will find more share pts, that having lower lvl. gear won't matter as much.

Thanks for answers

2nd choice give exactly what I need in sp, but it will be expensive and waste on silk , because I won't play 5h per day :/ , maybe it will be my last choice.
By the way, is the quest premium+ easy to finish without grab pet ?

and about the 3rd choice, why is it better to make gap 9 at 90 ?
I'm thinking about skill back to 73, and be able to kill mobs higher lvl than me
But I will loose like 30k sp with curst quest :/

@Ragnorak
I've some sos parts, so gap 9 won't be so hard at 90

But I'd like to know which choice is the fastest, and easiest ( and try to avoid premium)

how about go 0 gap to lvl 85 and keep ur mastery's at 85 after this.

so u end up with a 5 gap and still u wear nice gear (not best gear but decent)

Farming with a 5 gap will be a waste of time.

It's a nice idea too, because I will get my amount of needed sp, but I'm afraid that leveling will be very slow, because I will kill mobs 85-87 from lvl 85 to 90 with gap.

edit:
@raphaell666
You think that making gap 9 at 90 will be faster than blocking mastery at 85 and go to 90 ?

He said you should farm at 90 with your skills at 85, therefore having a 5 gap. That's not a good idea.

It will be:
85 gap 0
86 gap 1
87 gap 2
....
90 gap 5

Is it too bad ?

If you need only 100k SP then go that way if you really want.
But why would you waste your time on that 5 gap if you can simply leave or delevel your skills to 81 when you are 90 and farm with a 9 gap which is way faster?

Yes you are right
So why is it better to be 90 gap 9, instead of 82 gap 9 ?

It's not better, it's because you'd be at cap.

lvl 85 with 9 lvl gap would suffice because you obtain a new weapon and recieve most points

when ever I have the intention of farming is either 9 gap or 0 gap.
I wouldn't even show up for dw. with a cape to give common excuses...."i'm lvl 90 with (insert gap)
just open 9 gap and dedicate ur time to just farming, till u get bored then log off -,-

imo.

lvl 90 with 9 gap
you'll have the full 9D gear.

Here's what I plan on doing:

Get to 81 (That way you can wear full 9D.)

Only level up your offensive mastery every time you level. Don't get skills.

Get to 90 with a 0 gap this way.

No silk required to delevel back to that 9 gap, just 90 cursed hearts.

The annoying part that will be a waste of time. (I'm not even farming for my cleric buffs, but I'm getting everything else lol)

Close gap.

win?

edit: You can level up like 1-2 primary attack skills, but you have to be sure you can 0 gap that much sp . Remember you can delevel 30 skills at a time without silk.

I agree

I'm afraid that 9 gap at 90 will be very slow :/
Anyone can tell how many sp you get per hour, with 90 gap 9? ( in party 8/8)
If it's quite the same amount of 81 gap 9, I think I will do ImmortalKiller's plan

But as said Ragnorak, I won't be able to pvp, even being capped

actually only 80 curst hearts ^^

when you lvl to 90, you shouldn't lvl up your skill mastery XD
that's when you dlvl.

+1
Imo that's the best way to do it. You'll get capped fast and once you delvl the mastery the farming with 9 gap will be best..

1st idea doesn't work out, because 9 gapping with masteries at 73 leaves you with horrible gear. You're gonna need better gear to tank the mobs at Roc Mountain, especially with their high spawn rates. It wouldn't be as fast as 90 anyways. At 82, you'll probably be at antinokes, which give less exp/sp then wing tribes per kill.

2nd idea is going to cost you some. I'm not sure if the premium quest items are picked up by pets. If they are, then you can invest in a pet and premium +, because without a pet, you'll miss a lot of the fruit drops. If you're in a euro party, you'll be too busy tanking for most of the time to check the drops.

3rd idea works out pretty well. Since the mobs are 87, you won't have much trouble tanking with full 9D and a good party, just don't try to go for Shaitan.

The 3rd one is what i'd go with.
