Silly question about SP

[Winterclaw]

With 1.18 being released, what's the best way to get skill points nowadays for soloers and people who form parties?

[Dubont]

for soloing...leves...for parties, grinding on mobs near settlements and various other camps.

There is no good way to get SP mate. 1.18 killed it.

DOH and DOL is basicly all that's left!

360sp per amaal'ja for a 36-41 party ( we were 5) at the thanalan beastmen settlements (of course for the higher level beastmen) would like to disagree with your statement.

people should try to play the game instead of spouting uninformed negativity.

I do play it. The only way to get a party is to A. Use the fail party search system with what.. 3% success rate? Or, shout in Ul'dah with what.. 4% success rate? Or prey others in your Ls are the same rank, on the same time, and interested in ranking that class with you... 10% success IF your LS is the same rank as you.... which mine isn't.

Hahaha. So accurate.

Depends. If Alexi had a better linkshell her success rate there would be much higher.

How fast were you killing (1 per minute, 2 per minute?), how are the respawns? What did you make per hour (20k - 40k/hr) ?

I've seen R35s solo them in about 30 seconds flat, and they take about as long to respawn (and 4 of them respawn).

Party grinding is flat-out the best way to get SP.

For solo play, levequests and sidequests combined will get you a good amount of SP.

And only some of the levequests give bad SP now, while some of them are pretty easy sauce (the R20 Gridania one with the Foraging Doe's and the Swarm of Bees comes to mind, I could solo both of those on 3 Stars once I got used to CON changes). The bees die in two or three spells and give 180+ SP each and there's a lot of 'em, the Foraging Doe's gave 200+ and there were at least 4 of them.

EDIT: SP/hour may have been reduced for solo play, but if you play 2-3 hours after that and do some party grinding/questing, you will notice that you are getting more SP than pre-patch.

id say its about 20k an hour(varies depending on your rank) cuz they dont respawn fast enough, add in that alot of people are crowding some of the camps

and before anyone says thats slow....getting a rank in 3-4 hours is never slow for an mmo
getting a rank in 1 hour is actualy extremely fast for mmo standards(for all mmos, especialy near endgame) which is what we had before
