Silkroad Online Forums

You start on a new server with a friend. You decide right from the beginning to make a 1:2 hybrid spear chi char, allocating 1 point of str, and 2 points to int at every level. After 2 days of playing silkroad your friend found a sosun spear lvl 24, lucky drop from a chakji.



So there you are standing at Jangan south gate wearing a cape. Your char has the following stats:
Char lvl 24, sp 1593, no silk purchased
Masteries:
Heuksal 20
...Soul spear move lvl4
...Ghost spear petal lvl1
...Cheolsam force lvl2
Lightning 20
...Thundertiger force lvl8
...Grasswalk flow lvl3
...Shock lion shout lvl2
...Heaven's force lvl2
Equips: 16 npc spear with full garms, 19 head, 21 chest, 20 legs, 17 shoulders, 24 hands, 18 foot, 24 rings x2, 18 earrings, 20 necklace, all from npc items.
Gold: 120235
Inventory: you have nothing in inventory, nothing in storage.

Your friend: Lvl 24 pure str fire/heuksal using npc items, no silk purchase. To be fair, he wont use the sosun spear, but a lvl 24 glaive instead.

Problem: since it is a new server, no one has put up any stalls in any city.

Pvp rules and etiquette:
No pots allowed
Best 2 of 3
You have to start as soon as possible, so you do not have time to grind (you could however make a quick run to dw if you choose to do so)
You are at Jangan, and the pvp will take place in Jangan.
No silk items will be used.
No help from any other player allowed, for gold, or otherwise.

You want the best possible chance to win this pvp. What would you do with the resources that you have?

Note: I'll post the solution after a week, unless someone comes up with it before that time

hire a cleric lv 20s

Good thinking, but you cant receive help from any other player.

up force skills so i can heal myself?

Chakjis will never ever drop a 4D SoSun

I dropped a sosun shield there from chakjis although it wasnt 4d xD

Buy a level 24 spear.

Interesting... I wonder what solution could be ...

Yes,take 4D Spear and buy an armor set,mixed with 3D items and 24lvl armor glove

ill get ice

exactly have as your highest imbue ice. Freeze/stun (dunno if you get it this early ..prolly do)... with freeze you can def win

alternatibely farm some sp...and put pts in bicheon for kd

depends on how dilligent you are and how badly you want that spear

Hmm sry but probably your friend will win this challange. Many reasons for that but the important ones:
- Your friend has lvl 24 full str char (if im not wrong this mean approx. 112 STR and 44 INT without any additional STR or INT from the items) and you r a lvl 24 1:2 hybrid char (again if im not wrong you have approx. 66 STR and 89 INT without any additional STR or INT from the items). If 1 STR gives 10 HP so your friend has 460 HP more than you.
- Hybrid chars have a nuke advantage but you dont have that advantage cuz nuke skills open at lvl 30.

If you buy protectors, a high crit lvl 24 spear and improve your attack and assist skills may be you can have a chance to win this challange. Otherwise im sry but you better to prepare to study your friend's homeworks.

Well since your friends would let you do his homework that must mean your smarter than him. Thus knowing how to set up your pc better! And since Sro lags if you dont have a kick ass PC. He will get more lag then you and not be able to cast his skills as well so YOU WIN!

....Get bow skills, buy a lvl 24 bow and protector set. I think the weapons are 24k so I would get both bow and spear and the rest would be enough for tp to DW and getting some larger portions. If you run out of cash, just die to get back to jangan.

I am too lazy to calculate the sp needed for level 20 pacheon and cold skills, but I would get at least the cold imbue, ice wall and guard of ice, pretty sure 1.5k would get you level 24 cold imbue and level 24 pacheon skills...

1. Ice wall for the first 2 hits
2. Long range 2 combo + cold imbue
3. wave arrow
3. Switch to spear
4. Stun
5. Spin
6. Stab
7. Run
8. Repeat


I used to use this way back when I made my first char, which was actually pure int bow. I didn't even need to switch weapons since they were dead after the third hit, which was autumn wind or whatever, or if not, after the next combo. Used to take 2 on 1s quite easily like this.

He also accepted a one sided bet, with poor foresight. Well spotted You get a cookie for lateral thinking.

@torinchibi you are this close > <. Check the actual prices of the items >,^.

@Da_realest excellent solutions there, but partial

Note: I dont think I need to wait until next week for a solution xD, i gtg sleep now, got to wake up in 4 hours for work. Keep posting your ideas on solutions for the puzzle. Maybe I should make it much harder next time >,^

Woot i can think sideways!...umm how is that a good thing?

I think getting ice will help. Close your gap and get chain spear tiger to help freeze. then lower your gap again and far with your new spear =D

very easy and inexpensive
you dont have the power of gold to make your gear good
but for 40k you can buy 50 x-large potions
and that would make you imposible to kil at that lvl
there for you will have more chance to kill your oponent
easy and cheap solution at those lvls

when you say that the pvp will take place in jangan, does that mean that you're not allowed to teleport to donwhang to buy better items? if thats the case then i suggest leveling up bicheon to 19 or 20, get the kd/stab skill and soul cut. If theres any sp left, might as well go for the illusion chain, at that lvl it's pretty strong. Then buy a sword and shield. Start attacking with range attacks (LS and SC) then when he comes to you, use kd and stab. when he gets up switch to spear and ghost spear his ass. ( if kd doesnt work, use a illusion chain instead of stab then ghost spear.) The shield will provide extra defense and a chance to block.

oooo well my second guess is. go buy lots of pots! then get a high level friend to open a pandoras box!

Edit: no pots allowed so when your friend opens it run inside the town!

Add zerk?

I guess that didn't occur to me since I never zerk during cape PvP...

use your remaining sp to upgrade ice and healing to the highest it can go.

use gold to buy better npc gear starting with the more important gear such as chest,legs,head and so forth.

in battle use ice untill frozen or slowed then switch to fire/lighting (whatever the main force is) and use spear attacks untill unfrozen then refreeze and repeat, unless you get below 50% health (or around this area) and use a heal skill or yourself, and continue, i think this would be the most effective.

wait, if u cant use pots

why dont u get force and heal when he attacks u
he will run out of mp and u will be able to kill him very easy

use one inblue each attack, starting with ice, then fire, then light

use shield and sword to have better defence

there are many ways going about this because the hits you get on the guy will vary with luck, sometimes you can hit him in couple hits with some crits and other times you will die



THERE IS NO REAL SOLUTION

well i liked the pandoras box idea...and i can make it even better..get a bow open the box by ur opponent then run away and attack with bow!
