[QUESTION] SP REQ for FF 100 BARD

[S3RK]

Hey guys, I want to FF a level 100 bard and need to know how much SP is needed.

The purpose of this bard is to PowerLevel/Farm characters goldlessly (Using Mana Cycle and the other one I think it's Mana Orbit.)

I don't want any dances or tambours. Just Attack skills etc.

My calculations say 210k SP.

Please when calculating the SP take note of the following:
1. SP Gained 0 gap from level 32-100
2. SP Required to level up Bard Mastery 32-100
3. SP Gained 0 gap from level 18-28 (Several Times)

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated,

Kind Regards

210k sp to max bard attacks and passives at 100 with the 0gap 1-100 sp included.
You need to dlvl 2-3 times at ongs.

I'd recommend forking over the 4k sp or whatever to get cleric to 40 and add recovery division level 1, due to weapon reflect it helps more than you'd think ^^

You're a legend, Thanks heaps. So apparently I'm hearing that Bards are the best plvlers, is this true?

I believe mana cycle obviously means you use 0 MP pots, but maintain 50 every loop incase.

Also the damage you receive from an Ong wouldn't make your HP bar move.

But up to what mobs can a FF 100 BARD PLvl at?

Kind Regards

Yea the recovery division was for the process of getting to 100 ^_^

And, anyways, bard damage isn't that strong but they have godly attack speed and movement speed. Mine is 70 at the moment and trains with mana cycle level 1 (the level 10 skill) with guard tambour max as a buff and I use no MP potions ever (my mp bar barely moves, since harp attack power keeps going up I don't think I ever need to max it), which is nice ^_^.

At 100 you'll be able to 1 shot party ongs twice as fast as anything else, so I'd recommend finding a nice small hill with big spawn rate so you can use booming wave to take out 5 of em instantly . And the only thing you'll spend gold on is repairs.

Thanks for the quick reply, you got MSN Electrified?

Not currently >.<

But anyways, if you need tips for botting em up, here are a few ^^

- If possible, get powerleveled until 60+ because botting without weird chord is annoying (set attacks as horror, weird, and common attack)
- I use sbot and am unsure about how other bots handle it but setting mana cycle as a buff works well to ensure no use of mp potions, tuning sound works too but it's weak so it slows you down
- As long as you max the prism passive (or whatever the resistance one is), you should be able to bot with a tambour. I generally use guard tambour if at physical/hybrid monsters and hit march at magical monsters (or plvling).
- Horror + Weird is faster than the second 2 flame wave nukes that goldbots use and you run faster so you can KS goldbots just so ya know
- On many servers, harps are very cheap (on rome where my bard is, I got a 7d SOM Harp for 20m and a friend got a 8d som for 20m as well, and they don't get much more expensive) so considering you don't use hp/mp potions if you get a bit of cleric, money won't be a problem ^^
