SP farming tips
some tips are out of date due to SP changes after migration to Fawkes
SP farming (sping) stands for skill point farming and means obtaining as many skill points as possible with minimal experience gain.
In the "good/bad" old days, it was often common to get all SP a character needs at low levels and then concentrate on leveling only. Nowadays there is many other options, though SP farming at low levels is still the easiest way.
General tips
- most efficient way of SP farming is to kill monsters, which are your level or higher - white, yellow and red named. When fighting monsters below your level, you will receive SP penalty - 10% for each level of difference.
- to get maximum SP possible join fellowship
- find a guild - members of level 6 and higher guilds can "lock" their experience (up to 100%), which means you will only get SXP and not EXP for monster kills. The lock doesn't work with quests.
- level 1 - 60 characters can receive 200% SP buff from Elizabeth as long as they stay on the Newbie Server (Initus 2 or Horizon 2)
- get a Guardian - beside +15 event weapon you will also receive SP buff at levels 20 and 40
- "Patience is a virtue" - if you don't have resources such as Skill Point Boosters and potions, SP farming might become very trying as you will be spending hours killing the same monsters.
Where to get SP
There is no SP penalty for killing monsters that have higher level than you. If you can survive them, feel free to do so.
Level 11 - 21
|
Repeatable quest: Sasquatch Fur - gives 17 SP unboosted.
|
Level 16 - 30
|
Did you outlevel Sasquatches? No worry, there is quite a few other monsters which are very good for SP farming:
|
Level 31 - 40
|
Repeatable quest: Hunting and Killing - gives 14 SP unboosted and 28 SP with Elizabeth's Buff.
|
Level 59 - 75
|
Monsters in Temple of Forgetfulness [Levels 65 - 73] in Dratan: 4 950 - 7 150 SXP. It is a personal dungeon, which means you cannot enter with a fellowship, but on the other hand all the monsters inside are yours and noone can steal them! This is not only a good place to sp, but also to get some decent drops and level your P2 pets.
Tip: Lock your experience at level 59, this way you will be still able to use Elizabeth's Buff. Kill the first room of Cursed Spiders (stay away from Legendary Slayers - they hurt), exit, go inside again and repeat. |
Level 60 - 75
|
Quests:
Those quests turned in on Legendary Skill Pill (or 500% SP Spell and stacking set of potions) will give 17 500 SP! You can "finish" the potions by doing the repeater:
|
Level 90 - 100
|
Monsters in Akan Temple in Egeha. Level 90 - 110 characters can enter Akan Temple in the Hard mode. Monsters inside give decent SXP.
The most efficient way of sping in Akan is to repeat Stage 3 (9 156 SXP per kill), without killing Kunta - once you kill every mob teleport to town and re-enter. The monsters will respawn. The downsides: you have to be fellowship leader, you can only enter Akan on server 3. |
Level 99 - 100
|
|
Level 100 - 102
|
Ancient Screaming Zombie [Level 102] and Ancient Grey Mummy [Level 103] in Tomb of Theos in Dratan - only for true undead fans! Both monsters give 4 400 SXP, but they take long time to kill (especially when Tomb setting is low) and will often cast Silence and Bleeding on you.
|
Level 105
|
Extreme Cube Boss [Level 105] - it gives 1 000 000 base SXP, that is 100 SP base and 2 000 SP fully boosted (Legendary Skill Pill + SPB)!
The downside: to get to the boss you will first need to clean 25 rooms of monsters. Even if you can manage on your own, it will take time and it isn't a very efficient way of sping when you plan to pot up. You will need help from a high level player and such help is seldom offered for free. |
Level 110 - 130
|
Ok, forget the Cube. You can just move on and visit Bloodymir. The elites there give more SXP than Sasquatches:
|
Level 130 - 165
|
Elite monsters in Mondshine and Chapel give 3 850 SXP. It's not the best place to sp farm, so unless you need SP urgently, it's better to wait till level 175.
|
Level 175+
|
Ramslo's Underground Laboratory monsters - if you didn't get enough SP to max your skills earlier, you are in the right place. Monsters in Lab give 4 400 - 8 800 SXP - you sp and level to the cap at the same time!
|
Any level alternative
|
Repeatable affinity quests give 3 SP after completion (15 SP with Legendary Skill Pill), especially Destroying Death's Implement quest, which requires you to kill Death Knight of Iris. All you need is access to Owl Affinity Merchant and supply of Summon Death Knight Scrolls (if you don't have Oscar Merchants shop open you still can buy them from other players).
