Should I start training or continue to farm pp?

Yeah, I know. It's barely even considered farming pp when my top score is 61pp and I don't DTing shit. What I mean is playing maps that I'm comfortable with (3.7 stars and below) and get good accuraccy > gaining pp.
So far, I'm quite satisfied with my performance. I was expecting to reach about 700pp in 2 months but I achieve 1k

. I'm kinda want to learn AR9, but my time don't approve it

I'm having a lot of works and studying to do because I'm 17 years old, which mean this year is going to be crucial. I'm aiming for NUS or NTU next year.
Still, I want to play osu! when I have free time and ofc, git gud at it. To do that, I need to learn AR9 and AR10, else I won't be able to do anything besides hards and easy AR8 insanes. But I'm afraid that I won't be able to learn AR9 because I only play 2 sessions a week, 2 hours each on Sunday morning and Monday evening. What if I forget everything about AR9 in a week?
TL;DR: I want to learn AR9 but I don't play everyday, can I do it?

Thanks for your reply. My question is: Can I learn AR9 if I don't play everyday?
Because if one week I am able to "touch" AR9 and the next I fail miserably, I would be pissed as fck

you won't "unlearn" ar9 if you don't play often, all it takes is a little bit of warming up

you will improve slowly because of this, but if you're putting in the effort to learn ar9, you will eventually be able to read it

Thanks a bunch. I guess I will mix 1 hour of training into my 2 hours sessions

Can u suggest me some AR9 beatmaps that are good for beginner? I would prefer <4 stars

Anything that is AR9 around 4 stars is a good start.

I learned from PP farming .

I played songs that are a lot harder then what I'm use to .

I may not get it the first time, but practicing the PP farm map helped me a lot .

He was not giving an opinion. He was telling his experience from farming his PP by playing herder maps.

My opinion: Just like Noobsicle said, but by alternating between training AR9 and farming pp for every session.

I play osu! 2 days a month
I am a 7 digit, not 6 but idc plz let me enjoy game
this is what six years after quitting did
I got Outemu Red Switch keyboard recently

pp farming = testing your skill
I see nothing wrong with farming. If you can FC the map, you deserve the pp.
Playing stuff that aren't downright impossible makes you feel better and shows better progression than playing something that's completely out of your reach.
Sometimes, people say as if pp farming required no skill at all.

AR9 maps tend to be faster, maybe it's not the AR that you have troubles with.
Go change your AR8 maps to AR9 and you will be able to play them.
As long as you don't give up, you will be able to play AR9 sooner or later.

Yeah actually this is somehow correct.
I tried the maps that Noobsicle gave me, and the hitcircle closing speed was fine, but the speed of the map itself is quite high for me.

you would think from the responses that ar9 was ar10 or 10.33. it is super easy to learn, don't worry about it.

my tansition from ar8-ar9 was hella quick. dont worry about it. as long as you play consistently (whether that be everyday or once a week every week) you will eventually learn it. and its very hard to unlearn something after you have learnt it.. people who have learned to swim dont suddenly forget how to swim even if they dont swim for many years.

i usually take 1 day and play maps a bit over my current skill level to test myself and some jumptraining maps and then next day i pretty much just pp farm and keep up something like that.

AR9 comes with time a tiny bit of time, and after learning AR9 you might start hating to play anything below it, like i did

Training will help you improve faster, which is probably optimal since you haven't played that much. "Farming pp" equals getting fc's, which, if you ask me, means the songs are probably too easy for you and not the best practice.

Also, since you haven't been playing too long, in a months time or so the scores you will be setting will likely be quite a lot better than the scores you can set now. You would have essentially wasted time by fcing songs and getting pp now because you're going to be setting better scores in a month or so.
