Well you have progressed along and have noticed that you kill monsters and not getting that sp fast enough. But like everything else in this game there is a trick to SP farming now.
If you kill a white monster that is the same level as you, and you are in solo party, this is the max sp you will get. If the monster is yellow or red, the sp is lower but the xp is greater. If you kill green names, the sp is lower and the xp is also lower. Just remember, killing blue names is a waste of time. You hardly collect anything and also your pet does not level if you hit any blue name monsters.
So the basic premise is to kill white name monsters the same level as you to get the max, 1100 sp. At Level 20, is where the sp suddenly drops off to the max of 1100 sp, and this continues like this throughout the game. But there is something else you should look at too. I call it the time/hit sp ratio.
For example, at level 18, my level 18 knight is killing drakes to get the max sp of 1375. At level 19, the drake is now 1237 sp and the Horn beast is 1155 sp. Then at level 20 the drake is 1100 sp and harpy 1100 sp. Now here is the catch. At level 21 you could get more sp with the Skeleton Soldier 1100 at the Velpist temple - Juno, or with the Dark Goddess 1045 in Dratan.
Well if you try to sp farm on the skeleton soldier, his buddies want to kill you too. You will take damage and it is a little hard to kill them one by one. The Dark Goddess are not too bad as far a killing. But when you kill one you have to chase down the nest one. So why not the drakes?? People say, the skeleton soldier and Dark Goddess have more sp then the drakes. This is true. BUT, what you need to know that if you were to kill each set of monsters in a 15 minute period, which one would you get MORE sp. Why of course the drakes!!!
You see the Drakes have less sp, but since you are a higher level, you can kill all day and night, not really taking damage from them. Remember, green named monsters are lower then you, therefore you can kill them easier and they give you less damage too. Now not all green named monsters are good for sp farming you just have to figure out which ones. In this levelI was killing drakes up to level 23, when I changed monsters.
So it is a matter of time and killing rate which should be the factor for sp farming. Besides a green name is always easier to kill then a white name. If there are two green name monsters, then kill both and use your judgement which was easier to kill. When you get to level 28, there will be the Treants. Then at level 30 the Butchers in their hordes will be next. Remember these are monsters that are like 2 levels below you and they should be green name to you.
So I hoped you have learned that a monster with a higher sp is not always the one to sp farm for. Remember when you do sp farm to be in a solo party now. Solo party will give you max xp as well as the max sp.
