I know this is probably getting old. BUT I need to know what's going on. Anyways cutting to the point:

I realized I needed M0AR SP! And I needed it fast. I was an R-Tard and didn't farm enough at lower levels. So I got this sick idea to do the Curst Heart Quest and forcefully open a 9 Gap. Now that I have my 9 Gap, I'm still gaining MORE XP than Skill XP (SXP). Here's the stats:

Bicheon LVL: 45
Fire: 45
Light: 45

Mastery Total: 135 / 300

I have included Screenshots from 2 different characters showing the details and also showing all the mastery levels just in case someone comes up with the "Well duh n00b! You have like lvl 100 cold!"

Mobs being fought: Penon Fighters (BOTS ARE EVERYWHERE!) , Penon Warriors (See Previous Remark), Sonars (Need I say more?), and Yeti / Devil Yeti. All Mobs produce same results by the way.

Screenies:

This Appears to be NORMAL:

If you need I can probably post the Images on this post for viewing.

U didn't farm at lower lvls?? U are lvl 56 :s , that's low to me.
Off course u'll get more xp then sxp at those lvls... U are comparing to a noob that's prolly being plvled at ongs (when pt average is lower than mobs lvl, sxp & xp x2)

There's a difference between 'I didn't farm' and 'I didn't get farmed'...
u can't compare lvl 20 being pfarmed & lvl 56 normal farming!

Bots are 'everywhere'. Dw Cave, Taklamakan & Roc Mtn are pretty empty (at least on my server they are); so u will be able to farm all the sp u need there.

I suggest u get 64 gap0 & then let your gap grow from that point on. Lots of people still farming, so there is a minimal of plvlers in dw cave. Some good xp quests there (to get past the lvl with gap4/5 which are the most annoying lvls; not much xp & not much sxp). Later go to Roc Mtn or Taklamakan, 70 <-> 80 mobs or both in takla & roc mtn; so u should be able to find a decent farm spot.

wheres the question?

Let me help, this is kinda how I did it,
get to lvl 60 0gap
leave ur mastery @ lvl 60 and get to 69, get a good garment set 8d, nice pair of weps+accessory, and start farming from there in nachalroom by the time u get to 69, u will have around 150ksp, thats what i had, and u can stay @ nachals till like, 75-76, u get good drops, good gold, and it goes fast, even try to get some other people u know in there to spawn PT mobs and keep the annoying wizards out there:D

It wont work Some nub wizards died there from pt mobs and they were cleric with rec div>< i was training there from lv 68 to 74 and i never died and i was wizard/bard(yea was, still have the char but dont play anymore with isro) i had a good set, not a perfect one but it was good and a 68+5 and a 72+7 staff (a friend gave it to me). Sometimes i was killing 3 giants at the same time and i was killing with Lc/Lt...If u know how to play u'll survive but thos nabz (most of em was turk with name like: TR_WIZARD_TR and KRAL_WIZ lol There was lots of plvl on my grinding place but i liked it cuz of pt mobs. Pt mobs couldnt even hit me^^

Lol...90+ or maybe even 85+ in robes can tank pt mobs + cleric for zombie resistance. Infested with plvl bots.

ye ok, i was talking about eldorado, dnno the situation on other servers and by annoying wizards i meant the wizards from 67+, they die easily if they dont have cleric:)

Nothing wrong rofl, at those lvls u'll always get more exp, sxp will remain the same, approximately 200 - 240 sp at same lvl mobs
the exp u get per lvl always increases.. DUHH

Ok so then there's absolutely nothing wrong then. I figured there might be something wrong since all the SP Guides say in other words "@ 9 gap you will ALWAYS gain more SXP than XP". So I got a little worried. And you're right. I didn't power farm. I did all of the work myself on my character. Then when I hit 54 I realized that I didn't have all the SP for level 50 skills, which was essentially lowering my damage output. I know bladers don't hit the hardest but IMO they're so pretty to play with in PVP. for bladers.

For the guy who wanted to know what the question was: I needed to know why I was gaining more XP than SXP. It just didn't seem right to be gaining more XP than SXP @ 9 gap.

Oh and for those who don't know how the servers are:

Venice - GOLD BOT HAVEN!
Phoenix - New server - GOLD BOT HAVEN!

Gold bots on BOTH servers resemble: Chinese Spear Nuker / Garm OR Wiz with names like FHGJFJF, HDDKJDK, GOLDBOT018, etc. I don't know how Xian is anymore since I left that server to play on Venice. I hope the goldbots haven't affected Xian as bad as they affected Venice and Phoenix. If they have... then nothing is sacred in iSRO anymore.

Either way, DEATH TO GOLD BUYERS AND GOLDBOTS!

dlv. to 50, and get a lvl 98 with 98+7 staff to pvl. at strong earth ghost, with at least 5 on pt and 9 gap, the avg. sxp is 1400 w/o ticket, wiz should 1 hit 62/64 mobs with earth quake if it has dmg increase from a bard, best thing you will only dlv once a day if it is a 24/7 pt. the spawn rate if just as good/better then ongs, nonstop pt mob spawn.
