To make grow our character we get two things by killing mobs : Experience points (ExpP) and Skill points (SP). ExpP are necessery to go level up and SP are needed to make our character strong by adding skills. And, to add skills, we need... really a LOT of SP !
Actually, many new players don't know that, so they go day by day lvl up. At one moment, ppl dont have enough SP to take the skills.. and they realize that their character is weak. I think, we all passed the same way in the beginning ( I did ) Sooner or later, we all realized that SP farming is a part of the game, which is necessery and can not be jumped over.
SP farming is the method of getting skill points. The most common way is to do it at lvl 16, for few reasons:
1. at lvl 16 we can have good gap ( the best gap - 9 ) with masteries at lvl 7 which is enough to kill mobs.
2. at lvl 16 we can kill mobs with the huge spawn ( archers and bandits in Stronghold )
3. at lvl 16 we get new weapon 3D
4. at lvl 16 we can use teleport guard in Jangan ( for delevel )
I am sure that many new players are surprised to find out that one SoS bow lvl 24 or 32 is cheapper than lvl 16. That's for simple reason because we need bow 16 for farming. It's good to have good weapon for SP farming to kill quickly and make more SP in short time. SoS bow is, let's say, a minimum required weapon for SP farming. Of course, we can always do better, get SoM or SoSun bow, or glavie, or spear and top gear. If we have possibility to get really a good weapon, we can hit stronger mobs and get more SP. For that we need good gear, means to be well protected.
For your information, as few of us tested different mobs, with different weapons here are few possibilities of SP farming :
Basic farming
- weapon : SoS bow lvl 16
- gear : normal
- farming spot : Stronghold
- mobs : archers
- sp : 139 sp for each kill
Advanced farming
- weapon : SoS bow lvl 16 ( plus 5, full blue )
- gear : SoS or SoM gear ( full blue )
- farming spot : West China Ferry or Stronghold
- mobs : chakjis and tigers on Ferry, bandits in Stronghold
- sp : 310 for each chakji, 256 for each tiger, 190 for each bandit
Super farming
- weapon : SoM or SoSun bow, glavie or spear lvl 16 ( all max )
- gear : SoM or SoSun ( full blue )
- farming spot : from Downhang east gate to east and west ferry, through Hiyungno Land
- mobs : earth ghosts, devil horses, hiyungnos and ev. bugs
- sp : 590 for each earth ghost, 540 for each devil horse, 490 for each hyungno, 370 for each bug
And yes, we have to kill many of them.
Ideal conditions are to get tickets : premium ticket and SP booster ticket. Each of them gives additional experience and SP.
Try always to have full exp. distributed party ( 4 peoples ).
Important : YOUR GAP must be 9 !
This means that your masteries have to be maximum lvl 7.
This means also that you have to stay on lvl 16 and for this you have to do regulary delevel. Every time you make lvl 17, you have to die 50 times to be again at lvl 16. For that reason it's good that you can use teleport guard in Jangan or ask in guild if any resser is free to help you delevel.
As you see, SP farming is a compex processus, but very much necessery, because since lvl 60 we need about 10 k SP for each lvl to do our skills lvl up too. There are many SP calculators online, so I will not mess here. Only to tell that SP farming should take about 3 months for Int characters, with about 300 - 500 k SP and about 1-2 months for Str characters with about 100 - 250 k SP. During the game and leveling we get more points, specially if we use tickets.
Take your time and make yourself big and strong gamer.
Good luck in farming !
----- Pls, any farmer, check how many sp you get for each kill, I might miss some points, coz finished farming long time ago.. Generally, I think I am correct with numbers.. still any correction is welcome. TY
