Ok, from the moment I got Drk, I've kept both greatsword and scythe capped. Every level. At lvl 38 now, my scythe is around 3 or 4 skill lvls from capped. Same with greatsword.

My question is, should I just focus on leveling just one at the moment or just keep trying to switch back and forth with them until they eventually cap? At what level does it eventually become easier to cap them both every level?

Keep them both leveled or as closely maxed as you can. It gets easier once you get Vorpal Scythe, cause then you can trade off Vorpal Scythe with Power Slash to close Distortion with THF.

Ya it should get easier to cap when you can do Distortion with both Scythe and Greatsword.

btw arli, you're sig reminds me of buying my Hauberk for 2.99m ; ;. Even the Balin's I have cost more than your hauberk at 1.7m. :sweat:

IMO you can leave greatsword for awhile. BUT you must have lvl 200 WS Sickle Moon at lvl 60,61. You will need Sickle Moon to be able to use Greatsword in Exp PT before Spinslash.

I actually got Spinslash late (lvl 67 ; ; ), but I still managed.

If ever needing to skill up, you can get to 120 on Death Jackets in CN. Should be lvl 50+ for this though. Sharp Sting/Final Sting can hurt. Then from 120-140 You can do Exorays and Blazer Beetles in lower part of CN.

140-200 IMO is best in Kuftal on Robber Crabs. These Crabs give a constant amount of skill up, that only slows down a lot when few lvls away from 200.

I will also agree with everyone else keep both caped. if you start leveling to fast that is alright but remember second your Scythe gets caped switch it out with Greatsword. it sucks now because it does a little bit less damage but it pays off in the long run. (few more levels for me :).

at about level 40 for me I was still trying to cap both scythe and great sword together, and as a result both skills were about 30 behind their cap...so then I just started staying with scythe to try to cap it, and it didn't cap until 48 >.>
So I'd say use scythe until it's capped, then go greatsword until you level up then cap scythe again, etc
Though my GS skill is now too low to use anymore, meh

Heh I just recently capped my scythe again, after using Trial Scythe for a bit for Spiral Hell Quest. Now to do the same for Trial Greatsword and Ground strike XD

That seems to be the exact same thing thats happening to me at the moment. At level 40 now, my scythe is about 3 levels from cap. Greatsword is around 10 :(

I guess I'll just have to tough it out until I get to 50 so I can take a break from leveling and cap my skills...:o
