This single thread on the forums is hardly indicative of the rest of the player base.
I do plan to start a character from scratch and have no help from my alts. Heck I might even stream it on twitch for the luls.
Could you compare the SP consumption % based on total SP at high level and low level?
Also, could you also compare the SP regen at low level and high level?
Stop trolling and answer my question. Have you been lying the whole time?
I wasn’t, just keep going and you’ll see.
Also, compare the silver per enemy vs potion cost at low level and high level.
I think a weak SP potion is around 120 silver, vs 1-2 silver you get from monsters at that low level.

Uhn… Sorry to interrupt you guys, but if we’re “collecting” feedback about SP usage, in my experience:
- It is not that bad. You drain SP quite fast, yes, but it is not that bad that potions can’t handle.
- Most new players I interacted with are not really thinking about it or feeling the SP “problems”. It may be cause they have no comparative. Even a friend of mine didn’t complain until now.
- Most of the people who are being heavily annoyed by it are old players. But the issue is resolved cause they have access to multiple kinds of potions. It becomes just a nuisance to carry them.
- I have not made a new character yet, but apparently potions are very available.
So, for now, we have to deal with it the way we can (buy multiple kinds of pots, using cards, alchemist is a really good-non investment class right now [for tincturing and supporting], using skills more thoughtfully, even using bonfires, etc). It may seem really bad, its actually not. My main character is using kinda the same amout (a little bit more) but the class has many overcharges and cd reductions now.
Hope that we can slowly progress in our discussion about SP usage and ways to master it.

Perhaps Siete decided to get all of the attributes for Micro Dimension and based his thoughts on that, when the attributes are completely unneeded for low level play?
That or he is just lying.
Want some actual numbers?
Over 10% of total SP every 15 seconds at 33 SP regen per second, 15-20 silver drop at not 100% rate
6 kills, if lucky of 100% drop to get one of the weakest potion which regens 630 SP with a 45 seconds cooldown.
Energy Bolt is 41 SP (5% of total), Ultimate Dimension is 64 SP (7% of total)
Using all three abilities consumes a total of 22%, 3 rotations and it’s a pot, 4 rotations and it’s out of SP.
Point is, being able or not to recover the silver consumed killing depending on monsters dropping (or not) enough silver.
Now I’d love to know, is this also the case at max level? Do you consume 1/4 of your SP bar using 5 skills and have to pray to get the money you spent on the potion back?
EDIT: I must add that the monsters die in one hit because of my head accs giving 120-125 M.Atk.
Why does your 4X sage have 920 SP? Were you lying to us?
Level 4X Sage M.Dimension is 46 SP per cast on a 370 SP pool.
Why should anyone trust you?
It has 920 SP, Micro Dimension is consuming more than twice what I said, a total of 99 SP instead of 46 SP too.
Both numbers were in the air, there are your actual numbers and nothing changes, point still stands
You can check the others as well, it’s not that different 
As far as I can see, Re: Build is similar to the now forgotten Combat Update patch. The update where all newbs got screwed up and whales surfed through it with no problems
Back to the topic, if I need 2 chars, daily farming and different kind of potions to sustain one main the system is broken. That’s it.

See? It isn’t hard to use actual numbers.
Besides, you’re playing without Pardoner buffs. You drink too much SP pots because you’re lacking SP efficiency. Go back to town and get Blessing and Sacrament. Your pic shows “Acquired silver: 16 / 1524441”, so you have enough to purchase buffs. Don’t waste SP on low HP monsters, kill them with basic attacks.
Don’t forget to go fishing. Eat fish beside a campfire to receive a SP regen buff.
10% of your overall SP for casting micro dimension 3 times with a 397% SFR? Seems pretty good to me.
Actually it seems pretty damn similar to how things were before with micro dimension minus attributes.
The whole point is you dont need it, it is supplementary and it is a suggestion to help.
Daily farming? How are people using 2k+ pots a day? You can spend 1hr farming for pots and have enough for weeks.
I play 2 chars and do cm, saalus, dungeon every day. Raids and velc. I reset cms to help friends, and sometimes do uphill.
I maybe use 100 pots a week per char. With uphill potions, dimension dungeon potions, and barely any pot farming, I don’t foresee myself out of potion for months.
Just be more conscious of your sp usage. This isn’t pre rebuild times where you spam every single skill you can on their cd.

What is your weapon?
Why do you have a million silver and no cheap pardoner buffs that anyone at 4X would have?
Because a normal 4X would never have more than 3-5k silver? Specially when spending 120 silver every 3 rotations.
Also, 16 silver per monster makes 100 monsters for the pardoner buffs.
My weapon is a cane that was dropped from these monsters.
Yes. Do quests.
Estimatively, how much silver do you think quests give?
