1st. question=I'm a lvl 16 farmer and someone said to me that it is better to farm when your a high lvl capable on farming at penons using 9 gap on penons is like 1, 1.5, or eve 2 SP per 1 Penon kill? is it rue?

2nd. question= by your opinion what is the recomended lvl to farm?

ooops double post

Farm on low levels. Youll level-up quickly enough then anyway, and 6--gap at lvl 16 is worth more than 9-gap at lvl 50 or so.

farming at archers with a 9 gap is THE fastest farming method so far
penons is another option, and so are natchals at the caves

I say lvl 42. The reasons for this are:

1) You do get a lot of SP.

2) You can get a shiny new SoX weapon.

3) The drops. The drops you get at lvl 16 are worthless, unless you get a SoX drop. At lvl 42, you can make good money on your drops.

4) The skills. You have a whole bunch of cool skills at hand. If you're pure INT, farming at a higher lvl is a must for me, because you have your nukes. You kill FAST. Much faster than with a bow at lvl 16.

5) The ability to do other things. At lvl 16 you're stuck farming. At 42 you can take a break to do some trading, thieving or hunting.

Agree with most, disagree with #4 very much.

I'd say thats faster then nuking.

Why the hell is everyone posting questions in the GUIDES AND TUTS SECTION!?!?!? GET IT RIGHT NEXT TIME.

Kevv, the video u posted is not just a regular person farming sp, you need a good gear for low lvl if you want to SP farm like that,that means you are gonna have to buy it for real life money or you have to have a higher level character which can give you( 6 mil or something).. So if you are just a newbie then that video doesn't mean nothing to you, becouse its done with SoX bow!

If your gonna sp farm you always need good gear, making 6-10 mill isn't that hard at all.

Yes thats faster than nuking. He one hits them every time.

BUT.

I can tell you from experience that the only way you can one hit them is with a SOM +1 bow, a ton of +ints on your equips, full int, and you have to have already leveled to 17 and deleveled for your 4 more int points. Just getting an SOM bow on any server is next to impossible. Then try plusing it well. Then try getting a ton of 2 deg + int stuff. Then go level to 17 with 10 gap and delevel to 16 with 9 gap. THEN you can one hit them. Congratz.

In summary...

pros of lv 16 farming.

-Can one hit archers with imbue and lv 16 som+1 and full ints.
-Goes very fast. 3k sp per day with gt.
-Sheer number of mobs.

cons of lv 16 farming.

-Money that it takes to buy SOM +1. (about 15m in Odin. 50+ mill in other servers)
-Deleveling possibly twice a day. (VERY annoying, you only get 1638 sp from lv 16 to 17...)
-VERY boring staying at level 16.

P.S. kevv your status says that you are farming at high level on penons... lmao.

....................

I'm farming now because I just planned to keep a 5 gap but I got bored of it. I don't see how thats funny either. Now to correct you ~

If your full int at 16 you only need an sos bow and int on gear, the gear is very inexpensive so I don't see how thats a problem. The bow cost a decent amount, yes, but just about the equivalent of a SoX at 5 degree +

Getting an SOM 16 bow is impossible? You gotta be kidding me, just today I saw two for sale.

Also, staying at lvl 16 is boring...right, no matter what level you farm it's gonna be boring, I can tell you this from personal experience or you can just go ahead and ask anyone who is farming.

i think he means too expensive for new people that just started but researched b4 they did -.- just cuz u saw 2 for sale doesnt mean ppl can afford u dumb idiot

He clearly doesn't say that, learn2read u dumb idiot.

Im farming at the karam presently. Im lvl 65 very well stuffed up. Without sp ticket or premium i make 1.5 to 2 sp on each. I OS the white one and nuke +Lion shout on the brown one. On of the pro is that you can farm on more mob at a higher lvl from yetis to karam not forgetting the caves where the spawn rate is pretty good. You can job or do some heavy PVP too if you re bored.

Wow ur a dumb ****, he clearly said it was too expensive he just didnt say it like that.

The post you quoted didn't say that, so either learn 2 quote properly or stop being a prick.

OMFG UR SO Farking DUMB!!! Read what purple had wrote about the pros and cons, under cons it says -Money that it takes to buy SOM +1. (about 15m in Odin. 50+ mill in other servers)

YOU DIDN'T QUOTE IT TERD.

Just STFU u stupid nerd u know im right.

Oh dear, why don't you guys just chill out. Who gives a damn honestly?

The only thing I don't undestand is why purple thinks farming at high lvls is humourous.

Also, have you tought about farming on the europe side ? The drops might be cheap, but there's lots of them.
