I'm currently planning to run a barb up to 55 and death farm from 55-60.

Heard magicians were better.

Any advices? Thank you.

I would say casters are preferred since you can more easily wear ml while still being able to effectively kill monsters.

Ya agreed with cheeya you can also effectively wear more ML on a caster bc you could put your damage charm in ACC and then swap to ml weap/armor/main slot whereas with melee you’re somewhat limited to swapping only armor/charm. Ultimately I’d say it depends on your setups tho, if your melee setup is miles better than caster then obviously go that route

Thanks for info!

I have a 180 er sword and 180 ee light charm.

The ml terms are comparable across the board.

I would try it now if you haven't already. Try on a barb, then try on a magician.
See how you like playing both & then ask yourself, are you okay with farming 15 monsters dying 6 times, farming 15 monsters dying 6 times?

What would be your goals? Farm maps; farm eps; find great items; sell whites; sell mutes; use your finds for skilling? Just casually farm when you have 20 minutes to spare?
Are you okay with never gaining proficiency?
Are you okay with never MQ'ing?
Are you planning to drink potions for your death runner?
Are you going to wear stat/ML armor, ee/ML armor or just a pure ML armor?
Unlocking classes will increase the % of experience lost so instead of dying 6 times you could reduce that number to 5 :lol: (adds up tho)


BWConformity is the king of this info, and this type of farming. I did it myself for maybe 100hrs hours after months of planning, I was really excited to get it started and it was the most tedious and boring way to play this game in my experience :rofl:
Try now & ask yourself if you could do it for 100hrs/200hrs/300hrs/etc, or would you enjoy playing the game a different way?

Ty for this post!

My plan for LS is 2 have two characters: 1 death farmer and 1 MQ char.

While waiting for groups, I plan to death farm for items. I'll try both mage and barb with potions and without potions.

I plan to just wear the 180 damage item and the rest ML items. But from the previous response, wearing damage item as aux charm would allow me to wear more ML.

Will let you know how it goes.

My wl can safely kill using 33ml where as my melee classes can only effectively use 22ml since I do not have a weapon with ee/ml to kill with. Caster I have found much easier to farm with.

Try Mage and go for Piercecast / Pillarcast / Salvation for your abilities
