just reached mid game as a mage

Basically im a level 109 mage following gandalfs gay shield build. Got my money from buying and selling at CB and was able to buy some decent equips (all equips are 1s and refined to D or to C, xtals are only int + 4 tho). At this point, how should i earn more spina to reach end game? (Max level and equips) should i farm bosses or mobs? What should i farm then? Or should i go the blacksmith route? Pls send help

 

Ima reply because I’d like some tips aswell
Lvl 120 sniper and don’t know where to farm for spina <_>

 

do the halloween event, collect the sweets first, then complete jacky's,olant's and potumkin's request to get the Trick Or Trick books, then just farm jeila. get pumpkin diamonds, sell them. each stack costs around 450k-600k. and it's easy to get when you're doing hard mode, you get 4p.diamonds/battle

 

Iconos cores sell for around 20k-40k each, have a good drop rate, and usually sell pretty quick; I don't know what they are used for though.

 

you need to break the core part tho, which can be a problem if you dont have a stunner in your party.

 

Tumble works better for it though.

 

not sure, sometimes when you tumble iconos, guard will trigger. and the drop rate is (for me) suuupppeer looww, like i farmed iconos for 3hrs straight couple weeks ago, but i got no iconos core. just trash. but i got xtal tho lol

 

Original poster said she/he is a shield mage, and the shield tree has multiple stun skills.

Anyways regarding spina I think the best way often changes and varies based on what your characters are and what is currently out. You definitely do not need to be a blacksmith, because that requires money to be invested to proceed with that route, and it'll take a while before you actually will be able to start making large profits out of it. For me personally, I no longer play as much as I used to. Just don't have the time or interest to farm several hours a day.... so a tip I do is take advantage of events and new recipes. This route allows me to be sporadically active because it's quick but limited profit. First of all like someone commented, EVENTS. Take advantage of all events. I would recommend what Kazuki said... but wait to sell the diamonds until the very end of the recipe. Throughout my time in toram I noticed a pattern; prices of new event items (like souls and diamonds) are ridiculously prices in the very beginning, if you are fast you could sell at this time. Then the price gradually goes down until a certain range. Though at the very end or even a little after the event ends (but still when the recipe is available), prices go back up. Because as the event ends, everyone wants to get what they wanted before it goes away for a year and prices go up. Such as how summer seashells was very high at the start, they lowered down to a more reasonable range, and now they are quite expensive. Also if you make recipes, drops, dyes, apps, or whatever items during an event, keep a decent collection in storage. Wait a few to several months later and you sell them. For example if during an event I got 100 black dyes, and because black dye is in such high demand, I could of sold it for maybe a million each (not anymore). That means 100 million! Hallo garb was once 1m. Reindeer garb is nearing 1m now and boy I wish I farmed the heck out of those snowdoll things. This method requires patience though.

NEW recipes NEW items NEW drops.... Just like new event items prices go up.... so do new permanent blacksmith recipes and new materials in general. For example? Monkfish, now it is much less, but when the quest came out it was a decent profit. Toolbox? Was an amazing way to earn spina at the start, now it has halved. When armigma app was released, it was 1.8m-2m, but now it's a few thousand. Heated sword fin was an excellent way to make spina (now it is outdated). Just keep an eye out for new drops and recipes, then farm like a madman for a week. Then go on hiatus or screw away because you just earned yourself a good profit. Always be patience with selling too, don't decrease prices too fast but also do not wait too much until the price is way lower. Always keep an eye out for new things, observe new updates meticulously.

Note: I myself struggle with spina even now and acknowledge that I am far from experienced. I am not the richest at all. However throughout my time I have earned maybe a total of 60m when I'm not even super active, it's all about taking advantage of the unstable economy, price booms, events, and new items.

Now if you want a more regular, consistent, steady method...... refer to other comments.

 

It depends on how much hp he has left. If his hp hasn't reached the 8 in his nametag yet, then it's safe to tumble him, but not flinch him. Once his hp goes past the 8 his sensitivity swaps, so now you can flinch him, but not tumble him.

 

Start working on your emblems, its best you target all that have stat and skill point bonuses.

 

is that true? that's new to me

 

Yeah, it took me a few runs to figure it out, but I still figured it out quickly since I was using my brawler.

 

cool, but the drop rate is still low for me lol

 

their drop rate is a bit fickle, sometimes you get a lot, sometimes you don't, but I still like farming them. Plus, Iconos sells for <2.7m.

 

the exp's nice too

 

Yeah, you can level a character really fast now at the bosses with the new update.

 

There is also another way to make it core visible . you can flinch him and one person would be at the back to break it appears when he is swaying from flinch prob. 2-3 flinches and the person at the back can break it . problem is that it takes two people to do it . but its fast

 

i know how to break the parts, the drop rate is just low for me

 

I dunno for me farming core in norm is faster for me because in ha

I

I would prefer farming norm for it cuz in norm I farmed around 5 core in 1h but in hard I get 2 fuel pipe and other mats but no core with full break . so I would prefer norm rather than hard for core . I think the reason is that you could kill the boss many more times than in hard .

//just my opinion
