Characters cannot be transferred between servers. The maximum amount of characters per person on a server is three. Joymax releases new servers from time to time to reduce stress on the old servers due to a growing popularity for the game. Although if you have a character from another server you cannot move it to a new server, or any other server for the matter. This allows new servers to have a new populace, and instead of level 70s killing Tiger Girl the level 30s can. Also the maximum amount of characters per account on a server is three, therefore you can have three characters on every server in total. This is the list of the current servers: Server Name - Date Opened Xian - 10/01/2005 Aege - 11/14/2005 Troy - 12/03/2005 Babel - 01/26/2006 Athens - 02/21/2006 Oasis - 03/06/2006 Venice - 10/13/2005 Greece - 05/26/2006 Alps - 07/04/2006 Olympus - 07/14/2006 Tibet - 08/26/2006 Red Sea - 09/26/2006 Rome - 10/02/2006 Sparta - 11/02/2006 Eldorado - 11/29/2006 Pacific - TBA -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Controls -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Movement: Use Mouse 1 to click around and move.

You can get it by clicking on the image with DirectX written on it. To download the client find the appropriate image link and click on it. On the downloads page you will also see links to manual patches. You don't need to download those since the game will do so automatically when you first start it. Once you download the game client, it's time to install! Double click on the exe file you got from the download and select "Install". The default installation path will be displayed now along with the option to start or cancel the process. If you don't want to install the game in the default location click on the "Search" button and choose another one. After the installation completes you should have a shortcut to the game on your desktop, if you don't or deleted it by mistake you can get a new one by going to the installation folder, right clicking on silkroad.exe and selecting Send To --> Desktop. Launch the game, it should now autoupdate. Once the patch is downloaded the Start button will appear. Press it to start playing.

Start the launcher and click Options or log in with a character, press ESC and choose "Options". The Options menu in the launcher is simple and only allows you to configure Resolution, Graphics Quality, Brightness and Sound. If you use the one in-game though you will have much more tweaking alternatives such as keyboard configuration, drawing distance, graphics quality of single elements (water, shadows, etc.) [Client Configuration Information by teodortenchev] [http://www.neoseeker.com/members/profiles/teodortenchev/] -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Logging in -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Start the game, choose a server from the list and enter your info. Due to the increased interest in the game, the servers are almost always full. You will have a hard time logging in sometimes. Just keep trying until you are in. If it doesn't let you log in from a few retries then try again at a later time. There are certain hours when the servers are not crowded you just have to find the right time according to your time zone. New servers are getting opened once every few months.

You get to choose the sex of the character. Yes, most females in the game are males in real life. Females look different from males, and the clothes they buy look different from males. Now you choose your desired weapon, it won't be permanant, you can change your weapon choice at a later stage in the game. Then you have to choose what clothes you want to wear. I'll give you a small explanation of what each type is about. Armor - Has the most PHYSICAL defense out of the three, but the least MAGICAL defense. It is ideal for Nukers(see build section for more info). Protector - Has balanced PHYSICAL and MAGICAL defense, as in that it is inbetween Garment and Armor. It is ideal for Pure Strength Builds when in the caves(because there are lots of high physical monsters in the caves) although it is not to great when Pure Strength Builds are pvping (playing versus playing fighting) against Nukers. Garment - Has high MAGICAL defense and low PHYSICAL defense, it is ideal for Pure Strength Builds as it provides a lot of help when fighting against magical monsters and fighting against Nukers in pvp battles. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Builds -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ There are 3 main trees from which the builds branch of; Pure Strength, Pure Intelligence and Hybrid(a mixture of Strength and Intelligence). When you level you get Stat points which you can put on Str or Int. Putting it in Str gives you more physical damage and more hitpoints. Putting it on Int gives you more magical damage and more mana points. As you may have guessed putting all your stat points on Str makes you Pure Strength and putting them all on Int makes your Pure Intelligence. But what about Hybdrid? As I said before it is a mixture of Int and Str. Hybrid is a very difficult build, since you can make a VERY good hybrid or a very BAD hybrid. For example a Int Hybrid will have mainly Int and a bit of Str, this character will do less damage BUT will have more hp. Although this is the builds section, all the various builds and what skills are required/recommended and more is under the skill points section as I think it is best suited there. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=- Skill Points =-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=-~^~-=- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Skill points or SP as it is commonly called in the game is a major factor of this game.

Although this MAY be true I personally think its because Bladers easist to fight with as you don't need to worry about strategies as much as with other builds. You mainly tank (as in you have lots of HP and a shield so your defense is great so you can let lots of mobs or players attack you and live). I would recommend you wear garment equipment. As that will be most useful for you in pvp fights against nukers. As for skills this should give you an idea of what you should aim for in skills for level 70. |~~~ Bicheon ~~~| Skill Level 61 - Chain Sword Series - Illusion Chain lvl 9; Billow Chain lvl 9; Heavens Chain lvl 6 - Hidden Blade Series - Blood Blade Force lvl 1; Soul Blade Force lvl 11 - Killing Heaven Blade Series - Flower Bloom Blade lvl 10; Flower Bud Blade lvl 8 - Sword Dance Series - Snake Sword Dance lvl 1; Petal Sword Dance lvl 4 - Shield Protections Series(passive) - Shield Protection lvl 6 Skill Points Required - 35,931 SP Required |~~~ Cold ~~~| Skill Level 61 - Frost Guard Series - Weak guard of ice lvl 9; Soft guard of ice lvl 9; Power guard of ice lvl 7 - Cold Armor Series(passive) - Cold Armor lvl 6 Skill Points Required - 21592 SP Required |~~~ Lightning ~~~| Skill Level 61 - Piercing Force Series - Must-Piercing force lvl 3; Flow-Piercing force lvl 3; Speed-Piercing force lvl 3 - Wind Walk Series - Grass walk-Flow lvl 12; Ghost walk-phantom lvl 10; Grass walk-Speed lvl 4 - Concentration Series - Concentration-1st lvl 6; Concentration-2nd lvl 6 - Heaven's Force Series(passive) - Heaven's Force lvl 6 Skill Points Required - 29596 SP Required |~~~ Fire ~~~| Level 61 - Fire Force Series - River fire force lvl 9; Extreme fire force lvl 9; Poison fire force lvl 9 - Fire Shield Series - Fire shield-Phoenix lvl 6; Fire shield-Flower lvl 6; Fire shield-King lvl 5 - Flame Body Series - Flame body-Wisdom lvl 3; Flame body-Power lvl 3; Flame body-Extreme lvl 2 - Fire Protection Series - Basic fire protection lvl 9; - Flame Devil Force Series - Max it out!

This article was written by SuicideGrl from Silkroad Forums. This article will not follow my pattern of writing as this is not written or changed in any way by me. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ What exactly is a hybrid build? -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ (from Webster.com) hy' - brid: n. a person whose background is a blend of two diverse cultures or traditions. In SRO, there is a lot of talk about the "best" build(s). People naturally want their characters to be strong, and preferrably as strong as - or stronger than - everyone else. Many players on both the Korean and International servers have come up with builds that are extremely good at what they do. Most of these builds are "pure" builds: the player has put ALL of his/her character's stat points into EITHER str OR int. There's no arguing that these characters are killing machines and that, with the right gear and skills, they can own just about anything they touch. But what about the rest of us who want something different, something other than a Xerox or cookie-cutter build?? One answer to this question is creating a hybrid character. Hybrids, as you probably know, have put stat points in BOTH str AND int. This approach has many advantages: it gives the character more HP and more physical dmg than than a pure int character, and it gives it more MP and more magical dmg than a pure str character. However, these boons come with their disadvantages as well: hybrids will never have as much HP/MP or do as much phys/mag dmg as their pure counterparts. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Why would I want to make one? Aren't "pure" builds better/stronger/faster/etc.? -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Hybrids are the true utility characters. They may not excel in anything, but they're good at virtually EVERYTHING. Hybrids kill fairly well in PvE and use less pots than pure chars. They are good at all jobs and can have a very diverse skill set. They are decent PvP charactrers. If you are the type of player who likes ALL the elements of SRO and wants to be pretty good at all of them, a hybrid build might be the one for you. Besides, one of the main draws for me in creating a hybrid character was the fact that it's different. I didn't want another pure str fire glaive. SuicideGrl is unique, and it's one of the reasons I love her so much. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Ok, so I've decided to go hybrid. Now what the heck do I do? -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Experiment. The beauty of being a hybrid is the freedom to choose different skills, playing styles, and tactics that may or may not be the smartest way to go for a pure character. Wondering how a certain buff will improve your game? Get a few ranks in it. Curious as to whether you'd make a decent nuker? Throw a few points at it and see. Curious as to what it's like to hunt with a bow rather than the glaive you started with? Try it out, see what works for you. If you make a mistake, you can always undo a rank or two, but ultimately the more different kinds of skills you have, the more rich your hybrid experience can be. There are three basic types of hybrids: 1:1 hybrids, in which the character's str and it are kept as close as possible; "int heavy" hybrids, in which int is favored above strength at a 2:1 or sometimes 3:1 or more ratio; and "str heavy" hybrids, in which str is favored in the same way as above. Each of these commands a different style of play. An int hybrid will be an effective nuker but won't tank as well. A str hybrid will be able to load up their front end dmg but probably should leave nukes alone. A 1:1 hybrid is probably the most challenging, as they don't have any obvious strengths but also lack some of the obvious weaknesses. Think about how you want to play and apply your stat points as necessary. Also, remember that this build type is about experimentation. Feel like your physical attacks need a boost? Pump all 3 points next lvl into str. Do what feels right. Important note: Being a hybrid is all about balance. That means your character's physical and magical balances are KEY to your success. If you're going 1:1, you're gonna wanna shoot for 75% or more in both physical and magical balances. 2:1 buils should shoot for 80%+ in their main stat and 70%+ in their sub stat. Balances are tough to monitor, however. Every time you lvl, you automatically get one point in str and one in int. this can change your balance, and you may have to do something - add more points ot one or the other, buy statted gear or alchemy some on, etc. - in order to balance it out. Remember, with teh new alchemy system, it's possible to get +55 int and +55 str on your gear (+60 in each of you're a blader/swordie, due to the shield), so high balances as a hybrid are completely possible. it's probably doable to have over 90% in your dominant stat if you plan carefully. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ What skills do I need to have as a hybrid? -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Being a hybrid is about more than just how you spend your stat points. It's a holistic style of play. Hybrids are the jack-of-all-trades of the SRO world. The person in your guild who has maxed res? Probably a hybrid. The random person you see grinding who's doing big dmg with both nukes and physical attacks? Almost DEFINITELY a hybrid. But what about the trader you click on as he's trundling by and see that he's lvl2 in ALL 3 JOBS? Even if he's a pure build, that guy's a hybrid, in a manner of speaking. So is the guy in your guild who has maxed bow AND spear skills. A hybrid can be thought of as anyone who doesn't specialize in any one thing, but branches out to be a more broad character. However, there are some very important skills to have if you're going to be a hybrid. First of all, the motto of hybrid play is every little bit helps. You're going to wanna think about geting every passive skill you can, especially Heuksal's "Cheolsam Force" (which raises your HP) and Force's "Force Increasing" (which does the same for MP). You're also going to want to max your imbue and the appropriate buffs for your character (obviously a blade user doesn't need a bird buff, nor does a glaive user need a shield blocking buff). For physical attacks, concentrate on the ones that do the most dmg, as these will be your most important skills for close combat. If you're an int hybrid, getting your nukes and other ranged attacks as high as possible is also important. As before, do what feels right. These aren't rules, just suggestions. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ What the heck should I wield and wear? -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ As a hybrid, your choice of weapon should be based, again, on your preferred style of play. Glaive/spear hybrids do big dmg, sword/blade hybrids have flashy moves and the ability to block attacks, and bow hybrids can kill from afar. You can even choose to use more than one weapon. A member of an alliance guild has maxed his sword AND bow techniques and is deadly with both. Armor type is another personal choice which depends a lot on style of play. Armor is good for some hybrids because it reduces physical dmg, which is a plus due to a hybrid's lower average HP compared to, say, a pure str. Armor is a good choice for hybrid players who are mostly interested in PvE, since statistically fewer mobs use magical attacks than physical ones. Garment reduces magical dmg, which is a plus in PvP and against certain mobs. It also grants a MP usage bonus, which is useful due to a lower average MP, and a speed boost, which is useful no matter WHO you are. Protector gives the best of both worlds, in my opinion. You get higher physical dmg reduction than garment and higher magical dmg reduction than armor, while still retaining bonuses to MP consumption and speed, albeit not as high as garment. Protector is, in my opinion, the ultimate hybrid gear, as it truly is a hybrid itself. But as before, do what feels right for your style of play. WHATEVER you pick, you're going to want to chose gear that adds bonuses to your stat of choice, or both stats when possible. SuicideGrl's gear adds a whopping 17 to her int and 7 to her str. 17 points of int makes her nuke as if she was almost 6 lvls higher than she is. This is an amazing plus to any hybrid. if you can find gear that adds to your stats at a good price (and sometimes a little sacrifice is worth it), buy it. You WILL notice a difference in how effective your character is. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ So I wanna be a (nuker/tanker). Can I still do this effectively as a hybrid? -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Yes. However, remember that "effective" doesn't mean "pwnage". SuicideGrl is an int-heavy hybrid, and she DEFINIETLY puts up big dmg numbers. However, she'll never nuke as well as a pure build will. She kills fast and efficiently and owns in PvP, but that's only because I play her very smart. If you want to be successful at a hybrid build, you're gonna have to engage your brain a bit (sorry to all the mindless hack-and-slash types out there). Remembering that your dmg and HP/MP are lower than a pure build means that you have to know your character's own strengths and weaknesses and play around them. If you know that you have a few really fast attacks that put up a lot of dmg, or if you know that you have the ability to hit your opponent several times before he/she gets close enough to whack you one, you need to plan your attacks around this strategy. If you know you can take a few hits, then use this to your advantage. Anything is possible if you're smart about it. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Hey SuicideGrl, what is your approach? What skills and things do you use? -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ As I mentioned above, SG is an int-heavy nuker. She was 1:1 until around lvl30, and since then has been mostly 2:1. She's now lvl69, and her mastery lvl is also 69. Her balances are 84% mag and 72% phys. The goal is 90% mag 80% phys, or higher. She's lvl3 thief (8%), lvl2 hunter (45%), and lvl2 trader (8%). Her main forces are Fire (lvl59) and Lightning (lvl59), and her weapon is Heuksal, which is lvl69. She uses a lvl64+5 int+5 str+2 crit 11 spear with 100% block parry, 40% AR increase, 100% durability increase, immortal+1, astral+1 and steady+2, which will eventually be +7. She wears full 8th degree protector, all of which is plussed and adds to her int and most of which adds to str as well. Working on assembling a full SoS protector set. So far I have the boots. Currently, her gear adds +43 int and +9 str, as well as 800HP and 950MP. SG is a nuker. As such, most of my skills at this point are in pursuit of massive magical dmg numbers. I have all 5 fire and light nukes: book 1 fire at lvl 1 (delvled for lack of use), book 2 fire at lvl 9, book 3 fire at lvl 1, book 1 lightning at lvl 9 (max) and book 2 lightning at lvl 5. I have lvl 3 book 3 (maxed) of the Piercing Force buff, which is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for any int build. My fire imbue is book 3 lvl 5. My most often-used skills are book 2 fire and light nukes, Flying Dragon-Fly (book 1 lvl 1), Ghost spear-Marz (book 3 lvl 1), and Soul spear-Soul (book 3 lvl 1) and Truth (book 2 lvl 9 maxed). I use the Flame Body-Extreme (book 3 lvl1), Speed-Piercing Force (book3 lvl 3), Hard Fire Protection (book 3 lvl1), and Fire Shield - Flower (book 2 lvl2) buffs. My Grass walk-Speed is book 2 lvl 1. I am immune to poison and zombie and am nearly immune to lightning and ice. working on fire. I have Ghost Rebirth art (res) up to lvl 59 (book2 lvl5). I use Large HP/MP pots and special universal pills. I can kill any mob my lvl or under in 2 hits or less, almost always before they get a chance to whack at me. In PvP, I can kill nearly any pure int on the sierver who does NOT have SoS gear, and I can tank - if not kill - any pure str for at least long enough to wait for help to arrive. I can kill some pure strs, but not all, and some end up in a pot battle. Hope this gives you some insight into SuicideGrl and my approach to her. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Final Notes -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ I hope you found this article useful.

You must ask youself the following questions: - Do you want to be fully farmed when you reach 70? - Do you want to have lots of money when you reach 70? - Do you want to find the fastest way to level 70? -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Quick Leveling Guide -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ This way you will only really be able to level up 1 MASTERY TREE, which I advise should be your weapons mastery. Also level up your element mastery a bit (e.g. Fire/Cold or Light). DO NOT GET FORCE MASTERYS AS THIS WILL MAKE IT HARDER FOR YOU TO LEVEL AS IT IS A WASTE OF SP(IN THIS CONTEXT)! |~~~ Level 1-5 ~~~| Kill the mangyangs, since they will be easist to kill. Also with higher levels you are able to do more damage to them therefore killing them quicker. Resulting in more kills, therefore more loot, therefore much more money. Money is very important at the start as you will find you will have a lack of it. |~~~ Level 6-10 ~~~| Kill Old Weasels and Weasels. Would be a good idea to get "Battle with weasel" quest from Jangan East gate soldier IYANG at co-ordinates (6664,1146).

What is server disconnected and why do I get it? 4. How do you set up a stall? 5. How can I set the client to window mode? 6. What happens when you get banned? 7. How do I delevel? 8. What does SOS do? 9. What does hyprid int or strength mean? 10. Can you lvl up equipment like lvl 1 glaive to a lvl 8 glaive? 1. Is there anyway to get silk without real money? Answer: Yes, you can "make" money by doing surveys online or selling items on ebay. But these things can be time consuming and are never guarenteed to make you money, and you need to get "paypal" money because that is the best and easiest way (Visa credit card is also easy but that means spending real money) to buy silk. But apart from making money you CANNOT buy silk any other way. 2. What are bots? Answer: They are humping the walls and trees everywhere on your server, they are KSing (kill stealing) your kill, they are ruining the game, and the bots are computers. There are two types of bots: player bots and gold bots. Gold bots just kill monsters with no skills and collect mainly gold (may have changed now) and player bots kill monsters to level up the player while the human is off watching his TV or with his girlfriend (or something which is more to do with a "life"). Botting is illegal to do in Silkroad Online although it is not illegal under the law (correct me if I'm wrong). Many people bot. It has also been rumoured that many free bots contain keyloggers (they steal your passwords). There are also paying bots too, kinda sad but true. I am not telling TO or NOT TO bot, but if Silkroad find out then your character WILL be banned and all the money (and hard work if any) will be lost. Also many botters have quit the game or gotten addictive to the bot and NOT the game, which costs them a lot of money. 3. What is server disconnected and why do I get it? Answer: When you play the game since the game is "free" (to play, but you can buy premium items with silk) lots of people want to play it and this causes a lot of people to log on, and there is a limit to the number of people on each server (this is lower on NEWLY started servers but is raised as they grow "older") and this causes people to disconnect when logging in. But ingame you also disconnect if your client is too laggy, or you have high ping or if your in Donwang (tooooooo many people in Donwang), or if too many people are in the same sector (area) as you, among other things. Disconnecting is an annoying thing, but it has become part of silkroad now. 4. How do you set up a stall? Answer: Press A then right click the stall icon, then enter the stall name and drag the items you want to sell from your inventory into the stall and set a price. Please find out what the NORMAL price for items are and investigate prices when you sell a high level (64+) or sos item. Also you need to OPEN the stall to allow people to buy. 5. How can I set the client to window mode? Answer: Press the Windows key (in between the Ctrl and Alt key) and Alt then press Enter. And you should be in windowed mode. 6. What happens when you get banned? Answer: They only ban your account and dont ban other accounts attached to your IP adress (unconfirmed). 7. How do I delevel? Answer: To delevel you need to die multiple times. 8. What does SOS do? Answer: It is 5 levels above the current level of your weapon. So the stats of the weapon are 5 levels higher than the level it says. So a SOS level 1 glavie would be equivalent to a normal level 6 glavie in stats, but you can weild the SOS level 1 glavie at level 1 and not wait until level 6 to wield it. 9. What does hyprid int or strength mean? Answer: Pure INT is when you put all your stat points on INT and Pure STR is when you put all your stat points on STR. Hybrid is when you put some stat points on INT and some on STR, it is HIGHLY debatable on whether a Pure or a Hybrid is stronger. 10. Can you lvl up equipment like lvl 1 glaive to a lvl 8 glaive? Answer: No, you need to buy a level 8 glavie. The only ways of "leveling up" a weapon are by using Weapon Elixers to add +'s to the weapon making it stronger (e.g. you can make a level 1 +3 weapon, by using weapon elixers). Be warned weapon elixers can fail like other alchemy, but weapon elixers will reset the +'s that have been added if they fail. Guide Related Questions: 1. I have submitted information to you for this guide but you have not added it. Answer: It is most likely that I have added it to the guide or it is already present in the guide. If it is not present in the guide and is not for a week after your contribution please contact me (refer to Contacting Me section). 2. This guide is not the correct guide for this game. Answer: This has happened before, I had submitted a guide I wrote for the previous version of the game (e.g. a guide I wrote for Dragon Slayer 1 or 2 was submitted for Dragon Slayer Gaiden). If you find this to be the case for this guide then please contact me (refer to Contacting Me section). 3. I submitted some information and you have used it as your OWN information without saying I was the one that submitted it. Answer: There are two possibilities here. Either I had already added it to the guide before I found your submission, or I had added your submission but forgotten to mark it as yours and credit it for you. Either way I am very sorry, as I should credit you for any submissions you provide and I will do so if you contact me (refer to Contacting Me section). 4. You have stolen my work. This is theft damnit! Answer: I highly doubt I have stolen your work, but if I have please feel free to e-mail me saying so and send a copy of your work as proof that I have stolen off you. And if I reject your claim then you should request for my contribution to be removed to CJayC through the Support Ticket (I think). 5. I submitted some information before but now I want to remove it. Answer: My answer to this varies, if the information you submitted was a small peice of information like a item location then I will most likely not remove your contribution. But if it is larger (e.g. a analysis of the game mechanics or RNG system) then I will most likely remove it due to your request. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Legal Information -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ This guide may not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal and/or private use.
