Silkroad Online Forums

I made a character on Titan server and I want to level asap, so I'm 0 gapping but would it be a bad idea to buy the 4 week skill ticket to help give more sp? Or should I wait until I farm?

you get more if you farm with it but only because you get more sxp per mob

but if you want to 0 gap and have sp to get some skills you can use ticket too

depends on build, if you get bard or xbow you can 0 gap with ticket to cap and not have problems
if you are chinese you can use ticket and get 2 trees (select skills) and get to cap getting all the useful skills then farm at cap

i'm chinese pure int spear.

i plan on getting to around lvl 70 and then farming actually, probably at masks in the cave.

my build will be 90 spear/90 ice/90 light/30 fire

would i need alot of sp if all i leveled was the main skills i need (nukes, imbue, and mana shield)

i don't even care about buffs to be honest, i won't focus leveling those.

lvl bich and light. light nukes and the piercing force buff (yes, buff's are that important) and grasswalk. on bich i guess kd's/stabs/and lvl the chain that lets u get the last one, and lvl ice with your snow shield. doesnt matter if ice is like 10 - 15 lvls under u, but ur gonna need that snow shield. with an spt, you should be able to lvl all this just fine.

Lol...Gl grinding without buffs. Especially the mag dmg buff will give you ALOT more dmg.

Grinding with a sp ticket on a zero gap is pretty smart actually. You get like half to 3/4 of a sp every kill instead of like 1/4. So it's a bit farming while getting massive exp.

If you can afford it, go for it.

Hey Yuna! =P

You can just do what I did. I went pure int spear from 0 --> 69 (and then deviated)...

If you farm ~15Ksp at around lvl 14-16, you can 0 gap to 69 easily...Just go pure int, use a spear, and level ONLY fire (specifically, the imbue and the fire nuke(s)). Get lightning to 30 for decent speed and the buff (even if it's crappy) and get ice to 20-30 (for ice shield). don't bother leveling spear until later.

If you do this you'll have enough sp while 0 gapping to continue to cap. If you run low, it's okay, it'll work itself out. Your fire nukes are what you'll use to kill stuff anyway.

You'll be the fastest leveler (since you can pot AND one hit) and only need a +3 spear at each tier. (Not sure if that's possible anymore...but back in the day when I did this, I bought a spear for every tier from 30 -->70 and made them all +3) you can kill oranges/reds continuously...

IF you get the ticket that'd be good too....BUT if you follow this plan you don't really need the ticket...Get it when you're farming so you're not wasting money.

I'd suggest you switch to pure int s/s later on though =)

What? Farm 15k and 0 gap to 69? That's the worst advice I've ever heard...

Did you read what I wrote? Or just that key line? It's EXACTLY what I did...It works. Try it if you don't believe it. It works for ONLY pure int spear.

I found it in some guide on this forum (VERY old) and the point of the game nowadays it to get closer to cap or else jobbing is out and the cool skills are out (like KB for bow, bleed/division with the 73 chain, etc.)

edit: I hate this new system where you have limit number of embeddings of quotes. It's stupid. Fail.

Hey thanks for the advice guys

And I meant by buffs the non-important ones (defense buffs)

I don't think I'm going to be needing them that much sicne I'll have snow shield.

But yea, anyways..

Sorry, I tried looking for the guide to give to you...but I couldn't find it T_T. Not only has the quote embedding command gone to shit...but so has the search. =(

Way back when (2006ish), there was a guide about how to make a char (for the 70 cap) really fast. I liked the idea since I didn't feel there was much point of being low level are farming with a bow at bandits...it's boring. =P

Ah well, you'll be fine. Too bad you left oasis...I could show you my character now =( lol...though I don't play that much on a day to day basis...

Oh, and if you WANT to get a ticket AND level fast, you might as well just go with the 1 month gold ticket (normal) or silver premium...

and if you think you want sp, just get the gold premium plus (the 30KSp quest is definitily going to help you).

If you're only going to grind you don't need the def buffs idd, but if you want to pvp a bit on the way...I'd advice you to lvl them cuz you'll need them

I think its a good idea to have a SP at all times, farming or not. It gives extra SP and thats never a bad thing.

Plus, if you see a big num on the SP thing your penis will glow


No, that was not a typo

Bad idea is paying to play this game in the state it is.

Well, new servers are always fun

I got bored of Oasis, so I'm going to see if Silkroad is better on the new servers before I make a decision to quit for good or not.

this is why i quit silkroad
takes way to long to get to cap even with prem tickets
i found a new game
its called life,you guys should try it sometime,i just pwned this guy at work he brought his son to work and i brought my brother.

long story short my brother and the kid got in a fight and the kid had to be sent to a hospital for stitches

pwned? really?
stop pretending you have a life outside of video games kid.

does this shit proves anything?

Well me personally, I wold go for at least a 2 gap. But if you are using that a long with the 4 week, I say it will be great to level with that way it will knock out some SP needed due to the 0 gap

AFAIK, PT+ and skill ticked, only playing on ticket time + quests, would give you almost enough sp to 0 gap a basic build to cap decently farmed.


so yeh, it helps.

just wait for aion brah, or play like.. l4d, cod4, bf2142 (just cuz i play it :p).. games that don't require $40 every month to compete ><
I rarely log on to silkroad anymore.. meh.

bad news, aion was pushed back again

now they are saying somewhere around Q4 2009. i'm not waiting that long so I'll either play on Titan or try Warhammer Online, I heard it's pretty good.

Yes.
It proves that "Ancients" find it normal and funny that his brother fought a kid and the kid needs stitches.

For you to come out with a random statement that u have a life, despite the fact that no1 accused u of otherwise sounds like ur trying to convince urself more than others. Oh and as for your brother beating up a "kid", thats pathetic. So congrats on making urself look like moron. Any other stories you would like to share with us that make u look "cool"?
