ONCE AGAIN I M NOT FLAMING LEGITS

It's actually possible to get to level 80 in like 2 months legit playing for like 5 hrs a day.

I don't know how to do it though, lol.

But I know 3 people who did it, and it's effing insane.

were you by there computers?

98% chance they're botters.

Share parties would be my guess.

it took me only like 8 days form 74 to 75, no ticket, and only playing a few hours.

Two Premium tickets + Skill ticket ain't gonna be enough, unless you play 8+ hours a day

No, it was done before euro update.

Twysta can do it, I don't know how he does it though.

He got to level 35 in like 3 days.

I think he only played for 3 hours a day too, if he played the full 5 hours needed to do the 80 thing, he'd have gone alot farther.

Trick is pt+st+0gap+special grinding pattern.

I can't have a pt or st, I can do 0 gap, but no thanks, and I don't know the grinding pattern. Hence I'm crappy at leveling.

[EDIT:]
Typo.

there is no such thing as a legit lv 80 unless they can show me a screen of every level up message from 2-80

I don't believe there is any "special" grinding pattern lol, you either grind as hard and fast as you can(lol >.>) and do it, or grind more then 5 hours a day.

2 months...3 hours a day....lvl 80....not possible without bot or serious power lvl / party grind. But since it was done before euro, there is no way

By special grinding pattern, I mean there are certain places with better spawn points and you can skip certain mobs, and you grind on certain monsters at one level, and others at another...

I dunno, I'm telling you though, there is a way to get high level quickly.

I wish I knew it when I still played.



I said 5 hours, lol ^ ^

Also, lets not turn this into a flame war, just disregard what I said.

Just get a bunch of sosun nukers in 8 person pt. They do all the work. lol

how much money you got lets you lvl faster just buy som

After all the work you do to get there, you still get a horrible game support by joymax which makes it kinda worthless in the end.

Well I'm not 80 just yet, but I will be by christmas..I guess I can answer these..
anyway..
#1 - Have to be over 18? Uhh, no you don't. I'm younger and I've bought a few GT's.
#2 - I'm going to school with high 80's low 90's..
#3 - Had a part time summer job..
#4 - 3 Hours max grinding, maybe another 1-2 hours talking or just having fun
#5 - How did I manage to eat, sleep, go to the washroom, and do laundry? How the hell do you think? I got up, grabbed some food, took a shit, washed my clothes, and fell asleep on my friggen' bed.
#6 - lol, 6-8 hours. Who said we had to play 6-8 hours to be legit and high level?
#7 - 3 hours a day on the computer isn't a lot..You still have another 21 hours to sleep/hang out/eat/whatever. Use your brain.
#8 - Real money spent..Less than 80$. Started buying silk after level 50, been on and off it.
#9 - Can't answer this just yet, but I can say it'll feel great knowing your a legit 80, and not some botting tool.

Although you say you're not trying to flame legits, your questions seem a bit offensive. You don't have to be a computer-freak to play this game. If I played 6-8 hours for 1.5 years I bet I could have much more than 1 legit level 80..

And 'ThatBluePerson', just because you can't reach level 80 doesn't mean others can't.

I have a lvl 94 but i made a lvl 82 dagger user in 4 months :p
#1. Naaa i'm only 14 and only played this game for 2 yrs
#2. I go to high school stillz :3
#3. Yea I work at the library across the road >.>
#4. i only play 2-4
#5. Uh... i wuznt glued to the screen... lol
#6. Nope cuz 2-4 is ok in mi family's opinion
#7. I did my real stuff first everytime b4 playing... hanging out with friends... homework...etc
#8. only about 100 :p
#9. I think its gud playing for 2 yrs and having a lvl 94 n 82 n mani otherz i feel great.... but now i'm rly against bots however :p seeing as in ksro we already have at least 24 lvl 100 botterz =|

While I am not legit, I can do that.....

Well I didn't get sses of all my level ups since sometimes I'd forget to but i hope this is good enough:











I don't know why I dont have 70/74/78 and 79 I remember I didn't ss because I lvled off yarken and I was more concerned about not delvling than taking an ss of it.

As for the questions.

#1 I'm 18 atm. I hit lvl 80 the day after my birthday because I was busy doing stuff on my birthday for my birthday (obviously)
#2 Community College atm
#3 Unemployed. Going to start looking for a job though once i get my license which will be after this month
#4 Average I say 3 hours a day, depends on what's going on
#5 Like a normal person. I take my breaks when I need to.
#6 Nope
#7 It's actually quite easy. Whenever my friends want to do something I'm usually on board, plus I do go to my share of shows.
#8 Ever since January probably spent over 200 bucks in silk. As far as i see I'm purely paying for entertainment
#9 It was w/o a doubt not a waste of time. I took my time in getting to there (14 months since i started my character) and i enjoyed every step of the ride and I met some wonderful people, not to mention I was only ever in one guild the whole time and I wouldn't regret a moment of it.

lol I was actually planing to do that once I got to 80, I had all the screenshots form when I started, screens of each lvl up ;d, well minus a few from like 1-20, but the rest, I just need to get to 80 lol.

You have to be mildly retarded to spend the time grinding to lvl 80 in a game thats nothing but bots.

best way to to lvl in shared party is 1 sun nuker and 1 low lvl's, not 7 sun nukers n 1 low lvl, cuz somehow u get less exp when there r alot of higher lvl's in party.

Manowar, r u desi ? BTW u already admitted in ur lvl 80 post that u shared ur account between ur friendz ? anyhow still it took u 15 months to get to lvl 80, n i m guessing u always had gt after lvl 35 ?

Umm who's desi? and I started using GT at lvl 64, rest i did silkless.

I'm certainly not happy with the community, and actions from Joymax, but I still like sro and i'm gonna continue to play it my way, which happens to be without bots~

Well, it took me about 7 months, and most of those were spent SP farming. I have used GT, PGT, and SGT (since it was available), and played for about 20 hours a week. I guess the most helpful was the fact that my previous character had been hacked, but I'd just lend a few expensive items to my brother's character. If you can afford good equipment (I went right back into the element business), leveling up goes a LOT faster. At level 52 I farmed a lot of my SP needs, using a +7 SOS weapon, and a full SOM/SUN armor set.

I figure I have a few more weeks of SP grinding to do before I'm fully farmed, which incidentally is also about the time it should take me to get to lvl 80.9999.

Erm, quick question.

How long you guys reckon it'd take to reach from 60 to 80 playing 3 hours a day on avg? maybe 5-6 on the weekends

That is with no gt or whatever premium stuff...

prob if they 0 gap the whole way , than they will be the saddest lvl 80s around still using wolf bite spear and such

I enjoy this game. Even tho' it is coverd by bots etc. It is a good game and I enjoy it!

says a Lv3X?

when i grinded my Lv68->Lv75 with a GT, my ISP got cut off for 2weeks and i have to make do grinding in an internet cafe where a lot of Windows features are turned off (i cannot browse for files at all) and has deepfreeze on. why would i go all the way to ask the cafe attendant just so i can get my Lv73, Lv74 and Lv75 screenies to prove to some low level whiners?

i hand grinded my levels at home since june 2005.
i farmed 10K for a few days while below Lv20 coz i got a sos16 bow dropped that i noobingly traded for a sos16 spear (w/c i eventually traded for a sos16 sword + sos8 sword).
i farmed 36K for 2 months no-silk at Lv39-Lv40 at bunwangs w/ a 38+3 spear.
i stopped grinding (but not playing) after the farm, i returned dummy gapping to 52.
i finally bought GT and rabbit at 52 (or perhaps it was 54). i farmed 50K SP for some 3 weeks. then dummy gapped to 60 again to enjoy a 60+5 sword, got some 30K SP again, bought my 2nd GT, dummy gapped to 64 to enjoy farming at worms/PEGS with my 1st sos64+5 sword. I got bored at the end so i zero dummy gapped to 68, skills staying at 65. I didn't grind for 4months bcoz of all that farming, but i login to PVP in DW South time to time to enjoy my Lv68 stab. I played wow during those months. I returned to silk to play 1 GT on my bro's Lv47 glaiver w/c I managed to 0gap to Lv57 in 1 month. Euro came, I started to play my nuker again. I got it to almost 69 without starting my 3rd GT, I ended my 3rd GT 2weeks ago at Lv75. I made a wizard w/c I managed to power-farm with 16K SP at Lv24 now. He went like 2K SP last Friday to 16K SP yesterday. I used only that 1day-GT on him on Saturday and got like 7K SP in 3hrs with my Lv75 nuker.

I try to play my grinding only during GT activation. 1.5hr in the morning, 1hr in evening, by friday i have like 0.5 x 5 hrs to play + the 3hrs for saturday. I try to play silk a lot on the weekends but on every GT, i still manage to not-play some 6-15hrs of the 28 x 3hrs.

You CAN BE 80 without botting.
You just have to find the fun in the game so you don't get bored of grinding.

btw, for those p-leveling, you can use a pure int nuker Lv72+ at ongs to power-farm Lv22-Lv26 GT+GSP euro chars for 3hrs a day for 12K SP in those 3hrs. make sure you have a resser char to de-level back to 22.
you get 120K SP in 10 days for your euro chars. i think that's enough to 2gap your euro char to Lv70.

and, take a break from silkroad after using a GT, you'll need it.

1. yes i'm over 18 and i bought GT since level 35
2. nope i work, about 10 hours a day
3. see point 2
4. Arround 3 hours a day, sometimes less in weekdays, sometimes more in weekends
5. organization and planning
6. if i did sit in front of it for 8 hours then that's my own descesion, besides that mostly the next day i don't even game
7. That's plain easy, do how you feel and prioritize based on that... It's really easy in fact, the only thing i dropped was watching tv
8 i think about 500$
9. glad and a bit proud, i feel i accomplished something only like 1% can do. Being legit is standing out of the crowd these days. i still like SRO a lot and i even have a level 50 euro rogue already. Unfortunately i do not have that much tim eto play anymore at this moment.

@Jazba some questions are really wierd.

how did u manage to eat. like all do what you think Imao
