Maybe you should said that in your 1st post cause normally we assume SP farming for Chinese chars & Euro chars normally get Power-farmed

*but if you wanna farm on your ones then i'd say farm at Kiklopes or Megalopa/Crabs

SP Farming is when a player stops levelling/ levels slower in order to accumulate as many Skill Points as they want in order have all skills maxed to their highest level.

In order to farm, you must develop a level gap between your chracter level and the level of your highest level skill mastery. For example, if your character level is 20 and, say, your Wizard skils are level 15, and maybe Cleric skills are level 12, then you'd have a 5 level gap because the difference between your character level and your highest level mastery (wizard) is 5.

A gap will help increase Skill Points by reducing the amount of character experience you get per kill and substituting it for Skill Point Experience, therefore, as your gap gets bigger you accumulate more SP. The maximum gap level is 9, so after a character has a gap of 9 levels it will be gaining SP at the highest rate. A gap over 9 levels will not gain more skill point experience.

There are two popular ways to farm alone. One way is by keeping a small gap every time you level and earning skill points as you level up throughout the game. The other way is by first developing a 9 level gap and killing mobs around your level for extended periods of time. By using the second method, you will also have to delevel (level down your character level by dying repeatedly) yourself many times in order to get the most skill experience possible from the monsters you are 'farming' on. Once enough skill points are acquired, you can level all your skills up to your level and level up significantly faster than if you were to have a gap.

Now i understand. Tnx for the info.

Tnx for the info Fug_Dup, but i still have some more questions about deleveling. Right now I'm lvl 56 with lvl 52 fire skills....if i want to delevel down to lvl 50, will i still retain my lvl 52 skills?

or for example if I'm lvl 56 with level 56 skills, and deleveled down to lvl 50, can i still use my lvl 56 skills?

Tnx in advance

ok yes and the thing about dlvling is say your lvl 80 you have xxxx str and xxxx int then when you dlvl to 79 you will lose 1 str and 1 int per lvl but you still keep the points you put into it hope that explained it
