Silkroad Online Forums

First of all, this is not really a guide. Sort of like a mini 1
What i am trying to say in this post is that with the use of intelegence, there are many ways to save money and time on silkroad.

the first method i am gonna talk about is for low level chars. This will say time significantly. when u finish a quest like hunting bandits or tigers, or bugs and u hav to talk to the npc for rewards and new quests all the way back into town. The use of return scroll is great. Anotehr way and my way if i dont hav a return scroll is die. the time saved from walking to town is maybe 5-10 mins. With this much time saved, the mere 2 percent can be made up by grindn about in about 2mins or less. around lv 20-30 2% might sound alot but u hav more fun killn for exp than riding or walking on a horse. So wat im tryn to say is that for low lv guests or u run out of pots dieing can save u time. Another advantage that this gives is sp farming. many may not realize this but dieing is sp farming. most chars require sp farming. oh wait, ALL of them do. IT can thou get very annoying. most chars only really need like a lv 3-5 gap all te way through and they will be fine. if u die alot of times, u may gain alot of extra sp pts than intented or planned. But at higher lvs, do not do this and i dont think i need to clearify y.

If u use windwalk or transportation, try to look at the map and look mentally draw a straight line from ur position to destination. Then look at the angle and decide wat angle u walk. also draw a straight line from Point A (ur sposition) to Point B (ur destination). keep in mind that the shortest way from pt A to pt B is the straight line between tehm. No curves or anything. This is true in fights if u ever get into 1. always punch at a straight line from waist to face and that is the shortest way. dont do any fancy stuff and stupid hooks or uppercuts. This is just a metaphor. But i c ppl walk around mindlessly and walk a much greater distance than needed. Over te long run this perhaps might be hrs that r used on lving or farming instead of walkn to Point B.

The next thing i will talk about is resting. many think its a waste of time. It is when u r grinding. But at time when u r not doin anythn with teh char, u can rest. Times like u r reading about some skill or deciding whether u want to spend the sp pts on this skill or the other. Or at time u try to find a exp distribution party. Resting heals u by a proportion and maybe take 4-5 heals to completely heal from half way down hte hp bar. Over te long run, it can save u the money to buy more pots in 1 run.

Here r some guidelines to folo when using a normal return scroll.
1. find a remote area where no aggressive mobs r around and might atk u.
2. its time consuming and slow. maybe sit down and rest to get some health and mp back while waiting.

Also always hav 1+ transportation with u in inventory. dont hesitate on buyn them.
BTW, for those who dont hav monkeys or items bought with money. put the autograb on spacebar. its easier than clicking on the item when trying to pick up somthing.

THese r just a few ways to save time. there r many more methods. Hopefull u can find a few that works for u.

please tell me if anything needs clearification. i want to keep everything simple

here are some other great points.



ty, sylhana. i didnt kno that before.

i just remebered some tips for pot use.

first drag pot to hotkey. (ofcourse 99 percent does already)

second use mana or health pots right after u use ur skill or takes dmg. this way it doesnt just add the health it is supose to add but also make up the additional loss of mana or hp

it might be confusing but ill explain it.
say u hav mana pots that heal 220. u imbue to fight a monster. say u hav 500 mp left and ur imbue costs 120mp. then u would be down to 380mp right? Then u use the pot and the pot will get ur mp all the way to 720. it will cover the loss and add additional mp or add the number its suppos to heal.

if need further more explaination, plz inform me

Lol, thanks for the pointers. >_>
I don't think the rest one works, if you have auto pots on, it'll raise your health/mp despite if you have free time. So unless you plan on turning on/off auto pots constantly it won't really work.

Yea good pointers. Also it would b good to use auto attack instead of having to double click on monsters all the time.

ya, i kinda forgot about autopot.

thats y i said its for low lvs.

unless the space time between them is curved, then the shortest way is a curve(this is why planets revolve around the sun)

ya, the shortest way for a curved space is a curved line. U can find that shortest line using standard calculus and differential equations. It plays a part in general relativity. That was my bad.

but really no1 would go through all that trouble solving the equations just to sav maybe only secs when u walk in the SRO world. Besides the world is not even round in that world.

btw in fights, there wont be any time to think at wat curve u throw ur punch at. so generaly the shortest path is a straight line

mwoah...try to make it a bit nicer to read...so instead of r use the correct are..and where you is needed dont use u etc...its annoying to read that way imo

a little reply in that style...ok but a while mini guide, no thx =/

sry, its hard. sometimes its automatic.

ah but there are hills and mountains that create a longer path then flat ground

well first of all the speed of u wont change.

second its still faster if u go through than around. besides there arnt any everest high mountains. Unless the hill is a perfect sphere. then goin around is the same as goin over

u can do that?

thx i never knew

cool

i will also add a tip

Bring some healing spells- yes it costs mp but you dont have to waste your pots also if you run out of pots you can use some healing spells

Always need mp and hp pots higher level ^^.

agree. early lvs. pots rnt needed as much

if you wanna go afk and someone near you have has a cape, let them kill you with it then when you get back just stand up again ^_^

good little practical guide for beginners

Planets revolve around the sun because of gravity and centripetal acceleration. Gravity pulls them into the sun, centripetal forces pull them away from the sun resulting in a balance, the motion has nothing to do with space-time phenomenon, it's circular motion and partical physics. In relativity, where space-time applies, the shortest path remains a straight line since it is the path light takes between two points.

OT: Spending the 20 mins you need to find the guy in jangan (if you are there) that telports you back to the point of death or last scroll point, saves you hours of walking if you are actually doing quests instead of stright grinding for 6-7 hours to level 20, with equips and pots on you.

i dont really kno wat u r talking about the guy in jangan. if u can give me a source or more details thatd be great.

second of all, we are not here to discuss physics. but in response to ur input, wat u said is correct about the balance in the centripetal forces creates a curve. this occurs when the direction of velocity of the earth is perpendicular to the suns direction of force.

on the other hand there is experimental proof that space or space time can be bent by matter or energy. the cause is stress energy. And in space a curved line is the shortest way from point A to point B. i think basicly wat impp3r10 said was that planets orbit in curved lines because its the shortest. Light actually bends due to the curvature in spacetime. the photons try to move in a straight line but there are foces around them.

thx for the input thou
