Hi SRFers,

well i've been grinding for a while with my smexy SoS bow and ive only got to 25 with it since i got it and thats like a week ago at 1 and a half hours mon-thursday and like 3hrs+ friday , saturday, sunday and holidays.
so how do you guys get to like lvl 72 (my goal) so fast and what lvl would i get to at Xmas =) if you want you can post like what mobs to vs at the lvls like:

lvl 1: Mangyangs
Lvl 2: Big eyes
lvl 3: Weasals
etc..

P.S im a pure str

You need to play more than that. The people who level up fast play 3+ hours a day, even if they don't have silk items, and probably a good portion of the weekends playing. This is a Korean grind MMO, you need to level your characters a lot then you get to have fun so everyone goes as fast as possible.

Go to Samarkan, walk south.

Mobs: Ong

Have a good sight seeing and awakening trip.

well i etheir get 6:30pm-9pm or 7pm- 9pm on weekdays thx to a fking curfew set by my parents

When I play a character seriously I play as often and as long as possible, possibly 5 hours a day and even more on weekends(Every single day of the week). High level legit players are summed up like this...

Short answer = $ and more $$ and then even more $$$
Longer answer = premium ticket + sp ticket + pet + 24/7 grinding

did the 24/7 is meant to do botting?...... 24/7 on man your dead in 3 days..

If you want to level quickly in this game, Not to quickly but at a decent rate too much time really isn't needed, You just need to be using the right technique.
I'm Level 79 Right now, I do have a premium so if you can spend a few dollars it would benefit you in this game.
In a party At eye peak which I join I gained about 10% in 30-60 minutes.
I know It doesn't sound like a lot but its really good actually.
This means i would only need about 10 hours of grinding to level.
Pretty much what im trying to say is that you need a party to grind with.
You need a fast kill rate, If you are euro... Try to make the party full euro.
And if you can purchase a premium, The rate at which you level will be much higher.

Considering your level I would solo to a bit of a higher level so you can actually find parties.
Then do what i said:P
Also considering your Chinese. Im not even sure what i said will work. lol <_<

My 1st char pure grinding, 2nd pvl to ~80 then more grind to 90
3rd/4th pure pvl to 89 both (pvl. by the 2nd acc.). I guess I can say that I save over $400+ if done the "normal" way.
Joymax deign a system that is use/abuse by the majority= Joymax get less $ cuz of pvl.
in 3 month u get a char that is farmed for 100 cap and lvl 90

Try a euro. 1-72 in a month.

its call bot~

lol jk, I don't even play anymore because its sro is so grindy XD

You know that wont happen unless u are in a perfect 8/8 party who play nonstop, wide awake and focused for like 10 hours a day grinding at monsters higher than ur lvl.

I don't think so. I got my wiz to 72 in like 5 weeks just grinding my 3 hour premium in a 8/8 euro party ofcourse.

bullshit. Whoever played on venus when avalon started, or BHA started, knows it is possible to get 80 in a month, playing 3hours a day. But i agree with you , you need a good party : That shouldnt be a problem, get 6-7 friends from ur timezone and u're set

Only on venus. Earlier today i tried starting an Australian grind pt that we cud all grind in for 2-3 hours after school but there wasnt muc (well any, but i did get some new friends from my timezone - one who has played on Persia since it opened and has numerous 80+ charas) interest.

Well...
It's your first char!
Back in the days (2006) when i was new to sro, it prolly took me ~1 month from 1-32. That is because I did not have any experience in this game. I had 3 chars who got til lvl 15, then i created a new one
In the end however, i managed to get a char to 30+ in about a month (around 2 hours of grind á day, then about 5 hours of grind on the weekends). Quite noobish, but I did enjoy the game... I went sightseeing and exploring and even tried to conquer dead ravine with my little horse... (which didn't go well at all ^^) It was a fun time.

Later (Early 2006) I got more experienced and actually made a char to level 32 in only 3 days. That was pure grinding though.

I think you should stop thinking about "How to level up fast", but rather think "How to enjoy this game as much as possible".
But I also need to mention that this game was much much more fun for lowlevels when the 60/70 cap was here. The days without goldbots and only occasionally you saw bots.

Well, to level up fast... go with 0 gap and grind effectively! Buy many pots.
Since you are a bower, try to kill the mobs before they hit you! If you manage to do that, you can grind for much longer before going to town to buy pots. In town you only need to buy MP pots (and a stack of HP).
Keep all your gear up to date.
Try to use good weapons.
Always grind in partys (4-man partys for now).
And to double your exp, buy a GT or Prem ticket in the Item Mall. ALso buy a monkey, so you dont need to pick up your items. An archer without a monkey levels very slow.

I guess that's it for now.

Set an exp goal each day and reach it. It helps if you have some kind of ticket that sets an auto goal (Goal: 3 hours of grinding a day). You can reach 7x without silk. Chinese that doesn't pvp until he/she reaches his/her exp goal ~ 6 months. 2 Masteries, 2 Gap. Leveling is the easy part; what makes it hard is keeping up with the SP requirements. Once you start to run low on SP you'll be forced to quit, farm, gap(5), or play under-farmed. So, yeah. =]

actually it only takes 2 days

but anyway, hes most likely get banned real fast if he dont buy silk

I had a great time when i was a nub...me and my friends had a guild it was like 12-14 of us and we used to have so much fun.we use to lend each other sun sets and stuff like that ....i actually like those times better than now

Yeh used be like that when I first played when 80 cap opened. I still feel like that guild was the one I've had the most fun in too date...

I recomend grinding in europe actually at your level, better spawns, your 25? pure str bow go evil order soliders/ warriors a good spot is just on that road south of cleopatras gate go till you see a few ruins south of it and 1 little hill and a slightly larger hill, that little hill has a very good spawn rate, you won't keep it clean, sadly to grind faster you have to for go picking up all the drops, or get a grab pet.

We level fast cause we waste like 5 hours a day grinding/ have parties / we know more efficent ways to grinding after having done it so much

Its about exp per minute grinding things your level isn't always the best way to go, if you have to use more then one imbue to kill a regular mob of what ever you are fighting, go lower, go as high as you can go with always being able to kill in one imbue, if you find a spot with an ungodly rate like bandit den, ongs, a few select hun spots, and that evil order spot, staying there an extra level or two is worth the lower xp per kill because you don't' have to wait for more things to spawn or have to move between mobs because of spread out spawns.

Are you serious? I only reached 80 last week with a few others with premium plus.... (Although I do remember wasting awfully alot of ticket time trading and plvling)

65 in just over a month. Got lazy after about 3 weeks though, and started grinding much much much less. Could've made 80 if I had gt from start. (Got gt at level 50, only used like 1.5 weeks >_<)

Because people get addicted to the game thinking high level actually means something. So they end up playing as much as possible to get their fix.

Took me just about 28 days to get to level 72... I must be bad
...Although looking through a whole mess of screenshots, every trade I did, I was on ticket

What about for those of us who can only play for about an hour a day, maybe 3 days a week? No silk.

If you played non-stop, 1-72 would take a week.
