Inakuro's Beginners Guide to SRO success.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(No, you cannot put this in your site, doesn't matter
how much the guide sucks, you're still not allowed to.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've played this game for 9 months, none of my characters were a high level other than lvl 43 and I've kept making new characters. Its wise to mess with builds till you find what you like. I recommend reading Fly's guide since it did help alot for me when I was experiementing with other builds.

Anyways, in this guide, I will tell you what you should do. I'll be talking about how you should get to LVL 1-42, how to make gold, and how to get good gear for your character.

So, lets see you're a level 1 and you have no stat points? Don't start putting them yet till I tell you to. Level up to level 7 and max out bow at 7 and fire imbue (Cold is optional unless you got SOSUN bow). Don't worry about doing quest from 7-20. Start grinding till you reach to level 16 with a 9 GAP. By the time you reach 16, you will have around 1K-1.8K SP. You want to get 3.5K SP before you level up to 16. Now, after you acquire 3.5K, start putting in your stat points of what you want to become, I recommend being a pure. Max your weapon/force masteries. Start grinding with a 3 GAP. You're saving your SP untill you can max out your skills at LVL 32. You should be able to grind on orange/red monsters. My glavier Inakuro can grind on Bunwhangs maxed at 32 (Of course because he had a lvl 32+5 sos glavie. This is a key to leveling up with a certian build.) You want to grind in that certian area till you have enough to max out LVL 42 skills. Repeat the process again for each level. I know I didn't to do quest since you gain XP alot faster than doing quests.

How to make gold? Making gold is alot easier than most people think. If you had a 9 GAP from Level 1-13 and you kept picking up your gold and items, you'd have a total of 350K. Grinding on greens/blues gives better drops. Another way to make gold is buying low and reselling high. If you bought a som shield for 10M and you resold it for 2M more, you gained profit. You have to study your servers economy, example: Xian's C/P for Weapon Elixirs is over 300k. What should you do if you get Weapon Elixirs? Sell them for 300k (Duh). Final way to make gold is scamming. I don't recommend this but this teaches noobs their lesson. First you start out with an old character. Go around storage of each town and say you're selling 500 SILK for 500k, exchange the 500K and pretend that "you're sending" silk to "their account". We all know you're not really going to sell silk so you're not doing anything illegal. PEOPLE, and I mean PEOPLE are IDIOTS acually falling for this scam. I did this to three people, and they claimed thewere hacked. Teach noobs not to buy silk.

I want good gear for my character! PLZ GIVE ME 10K. STFU, no one loves you. (Just kidding). I recommend getting SOS HEAD, SOS CHEST, and SOS LEGS and save your money to get +3 shoulders, hands, and shoes. +3 is almost equilvent to a +5 = Seal of Star. You don't really need that extra 20% defence unless you have tons of gold.




So... leave your opinions/thoughs/feedback/questions here and i'll try not to flame you.

If i ever even feel the urge to think about putting this on my site, I would have to make a seperate page called 'worst ever silkroad beginners guides'

seriously, If you follow this guide you are deficient in so many ways.

btw i dont have a site, i was just making a point.

OMG DONT FLAME ME PLSSS

First of all, I don't scam (anymore that is.) Your assumptions are not needed in my guide, and also all you guys didn't read it quite correctly which makes you even more pathetic.

Buying silk for gold is illegal~ VIA CCF. This is noticed every single day in the server. Basically what I said is "Lets scam people who buy silk with gold." meaning you are doing great teaching the noobs not to buy silk with gold when they are told not to buy them, thus bringing law into the servers.

Don't bash on my guide because you were probably the ones that were either: Stupid enough to fall for it, or just damn blind.

I've been following the forum ever since October, don't give me that one post BS.

Off-topic: Took me 6 months to get to LVL42 because I did no farming, and when I quit Lithumian, I murdered some HeLLzAnGelZ members... yum mate~?

Also three months to get up to LVL 71 = no life seriously.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, no more nonsense and get back to my topic seriously.

@ PimpC: The reason why I said don't touch your stat points yet is because when you farm, you sometimes think "Hm, what build should I use." while you're farming. Lets pretend you're a Pure Int farming in the Stronghold and all of a sudden you want to become Pure STR Blader but you can't because you already used up all your stat points for INT, alot of people that I know keep making new characters (Like I did) because they just simply don't like the build. Yes you do alot less dmg without the stat points but if you change your mind like some people, then not touching it is a way to go.

which part?
1. collecting everything that mobs drop?
2. buy low sell high?
3. having a 3 lvl gap?
4. pure over hybrid?
5. Scamming people by claiming to buy silk for them

Thats why you have to plan your build before you farm.

Also, buying sos gear below 42 = waste of money.
It's a good equipment to use, but you can still lvl fast without one. even a +0 glavie would be good enough.
The point where you start making +3 would be at 42 and higher. Still then sos isen't recommanded, it never is untill you reach 8th degree.
Why? because 8th degree is the capped equipment, even with your sos chest, legs and head a lvl 80 person would still kick your ass at lvl 52.
Now with the cap, even lvl 8th degree seal of star became useless unless it's +7.

im not saying ur guide sucks or nething...

forgot anything?

please review all parts of his guide before you come back and bitch at me. 98% of this guide has been covered in other, more effective, stickied guides, and the other 2% is bullshit about scamming.

His attitude just tops it all off.

Oh, but it does suck. Greatly.

he said he doesn't recommend it, but then he went on describing the how the scamming process works. 1 star popping is pretty much as morally wrong as that, yet JM "supports" it and ppl do it tell 1* runners to lvl up

i am not bitching at you, just want to confirm what i think is right is actually right. is it the way the i spoke that made u think i am btching?

you wanted feedback....here it is:
once you've taken a grammar course, you can start writing. Seriously that was the lamest thing i have ever read. That is not the way for a new person in the game to behave...
