European SP farming guide

Introduction
Skill Point Farming in Europe is not needed, but it is something to think about if you are planning to have two builds. In Europe if you want to have all the skills in both builds you will struggle to keep them up to date. When you farm the skill points needed it will not be difficult at all to support the two builds you chose. It is a lot easier and cheaper to skill point farm in Europe that it is in China. The reasons will be made apparent later in the guide. Please understand that farming still is mind-numbing, unexciting, tiresome, and time consuming. It is only recommended for people with a lot of patience.
Starting your Character
Once you are creating your character you want it to be a wizard because they do the most damage out of the other builds. You can always get rid of these skills later if you do not want to keep them. Wizards are a lot easier to farm with because you do not have to carry around arrows or bolts, and they do a lot more damage than archers. This way you will not need that seal of star weapon to allow you to kill the monster in one hit.
After you level your character to level four you can go ahead and start getting a few skills needed. You will want to get Cold Spirit, Fire Spirit, Ice Bolt, and Fire Bolt. These are the two best farming skills there are. The Earth skills do not have good range, and the Lightning skills do not do much damage. If you are farming to be a wizard then you can go ahead and get them, but if you are planning on removing the skills then getting anymore would be a waste of skill points and make it harder to remove the unneeded skills.
Once you get your Wizard Mastery at level 8 stop leveling it. You are going to start your nine level gap at this point. This is required because you will get more skill points the bigger your gap is. This is explained later in the guide. You can now level the four skills you started with to their second level.
Now you want to get your character to level seventeen. You can accomplish this in one day if you set your mind to it and use the golden ticket the game provided. Once you get to seventeen you will also already have over one thousand skill points saved up. It is not much, but it is a good start.
What about the Equipment?
One good thing about the equipment needed is you will not need a seal of star weapon. You can kill the monsters in one hit with a normal staff that has not been upgraded. This will make farming a lot cheaper since you do not have to spend seven to eight million gold on a seal of star bow like in China. You can get a seal of star staff if you can afford it because it would allow you to fight monsters that have a higher level than you, and then you can get more skill points.
A downside is you will be stuck with first degree equipment. Since the equipment that you can use is based on your mastery level and not your actual character level you are limited to level eight and below items. This problem consists at higher level as well and that is why it is a good idea to farm now.
Where to Farm
You will want to fight the Aduna Ladons and the Simos Ladons. These monsters roam a vast expanse so there will be no more fighting for a place to farm. You can find the Aduna Ladons in the Forest of Dusk area, and the Simos Ladons are around the Golden Apple Tree. You may have a hard time finding a spot to fight the Simos Ladons because they do not have their own area to themselves. They are basically mixed in with the Adunas.
If you have a seal of star staff you can try fighting the lions at Jupiter Temple. You will need to be able to kill everything in one hit since your equipment makes your defense weak. They may be able to kill you in one to two hits so you will want to be careful.
What to Farm
Before you start collecting all those precious skill points, you want to think about the two builds you want to have. Two is the maximum builds you should own since the mastery level only allows enough to have two builds maxed. After you have that figured out you will want to figure out which skills in those builds you want. I recommend comparing the skills to the other build and determine if you really need it. An example of this would be the fighting skills for the Cleric. If you are going to be a wizard as your second build you really do not need Trial Cross because of the superiority of the nukes the wizard casts.
After you have a list of all the skills you want to own, you will need to find out how much skill points they cost. Since there is no complete character builder for the European race yet you will have to ask on the Fusion Fleet Forums. There is a specific board there that is determined to giving everyone what all the skills cost. Certain rules do apply and you can read them in the board.
Once you know how much skill points you need to use, you will want to farm all of it here and now. Since the equipment you can use is based on your mastery level you will be limited to equipment nine levels below your character level. This is not so much of a problem when you are a lower level but it will be when you are a higher level.
Unlike China, you do not need to farm a huge amount of skill points. Expect to farm only eighty to ninety skill points. You will be able to farm it all at once, and will only take you around one to two months depending on how much time you put into it. It is all about how much patience and determination you have.
Gaps
Now every time you want to skill point farm you want to have a gap between your character level and the mastery level. This will help you get more skill points. The way a gap works is the smaller the gap the more experience and the less skill points you get. The larger the gap the less experience points you get and the more skill points you get.
After you have a nine level gap you want to stop. You get the same amount of skill points with a nine level gap than a ten level gap. It would just be useless to have a gap larger than nine and also effect how much skill points you receive from the monster. Since you get more skill points from monsters at your own level you will receive less skill points when the gap between your level and the monsters increases.
Tickets
To help you farm faster you may want to consider a Golden or Silver ticket. These will give you a one hundred percent to a fifty percent boost to your skill points and experience. It really does make a difference in the amount of time it takes to farm.
Now with the addition of the Gold and Silver Skill Ticket it even makes it better. You can have a two hundred percent boost on your skills. For example, at level sixteen with a nine level gap you get one hundred and twenty eight skills points per archer. Now with a Gold Ticket you would get two hundred and fifty six skill points per kill. Along with the Gold Skill Ticket you will get five hundred and twelve skill points per kill. This helps you out greatly.
Another thing that you will have to do is join a party. You want the parties that can only hold four characters and not eight. Joining to one with four people will just give you another skill point boost. With the Golden Tickets and the party you should be able to get around one skill point per kill. If you can kill them in one hit you will get all the skill points you need in no time.
Committing Suicide
The most important part of farming is killing your character to keep him or her at one level while you farm. This has to be the most annoying part of farming. Once your character dies you lose experience points but not skill points. This is how you can collect eighty thousand skill points and be level seventeen.
The easiest way to do this is have a friend who you trust that can resurrect come to where you are and help you out. You want to take everything you have off and give it to your friend. Once you die you have a chance of losing something out of your inventory. It might be your expensive equipment or just some potions. I would not take the chance.
Once you have everything off just let monsters kill you and then have your friend resurrect you. Make sure you leave yourself at least two percent at level sixteen. This way if you accidentally die again, you will not go down a level. I suggest de-leveling at level seventeen when you have around eighty percent. This was you can spend more time farming, but you do not have to spend a lot of time dieing.
If you do not have a friend it does get a little harder to de-level. You have to put all of your items in storage so you do not lose them. Then head over to the Guide Riise. Make sure you have Constantinople set as your recall point so you do not go to another town by accident. Ask Riise to send you back to your last recall point and let any monster kill you and respawn back in town. You repeat this until you get to level sixteen at two percent. This way is a lot easier because you do not have to run as much, and you can de level a lot faster than in China.
Guide Riise
Guide Riise is one of the best NPCs you will come across. Up to a certain level you can use her just like a reverse return scroll and go back to the place you died, or the last recall point. You do not have to do a lot of running anymore.
Another thing she can do is teleport you to either the north or west gate of Constantinople. This is a short distance, but if you don’t feel like running all that way this is an easier approach. She is located right beside the Globe where you teleport to different towns. If you just run around it you should bump into her.
Conclusion
Farming is boring and can take a lot of time. You may end up quitting or just stop playing the game all together. The benefits however are high. You can become a strong player and not have to worry about what you think you should use your skill points on. You just need to have patience and be strong. If you feel I left anything out in this guide or need to elaborate on anything please send me an e-mail and let me know.
