Based on my blader. A Becheon,fire, str
Well im not an expert but i have made alote of characters testing out different things, that atleast qualifies me rite ... lol
well as this is my first guide im going to try to make it as helpful as possible
and try to update it on a regular basis, and instead of just giving u a guide line, ill give u like a map, on where u should fight, and this is refference not a manual.
[STARTING_OUT]
I always 100% pick bow, u knoe why, well instead of having to run to mangyans to kill them i just sit in the middle of them and fire away saves u time and hp herbs and such, oh and if u happen to have a lil money, stock up on arrows cause trust me it S*cks running out. Don't bother doing the biggening quest, cause yull do point less running around for a bracer and a wopping 100 gold
[MONEY$$$]
The stuff that makes the world turn round. Well in silkroad call gold but same thing, well if u notice everything at lower lvls isn't worth that much and barely help u, exept for new weapons, and since ur using bow the only thing yull need to buy is new bows, arrows and they drop all the time, and herbs/pots, and if u wonder why all those higher lvls are rich, its either they spend to much time playing, or pick up there alchemy drops, because what most people don't notice is that Raw Materia-(Alchemy drops) can make elements, and everyone needs elements weather its "pimping' there gear or well thats about it. So pick up ur drops and for armor use what drops . SIMPLE.
[ALCHEMY]
Yes im going to tell u how to do this to, because not many people know how, and the people that do, wouldn't be reading this guide. Well first u get some Raw Materia, wich different mobs drop in those little bags, after u got urself some of those head over to the Grocery Trader, and buy some Void Rondo, and usualy buy quite abit, because there cheap and not everything works with just 1. Press "Y" put the Void Rondos on the left and the Raw Materia on the right, after some clicking, just press fuze all and yull slowly see these pritty christals appear in your inventory. Those are elements, the things that make u rich. * Don't ask me how much to sell it for, you should be able to find like a price list on google *
[SKILL_POINTS]
Hate to stress u out so early in the game/guide, but if u wana be strong u gotta have em, so my suggestion is keep about a 1 gap till lvl 13 wich will give u nice and steady exp/sp, but after that, ur life is gone, your worrying about getting money to buy an SOS weapon, but ur poor so u continue but see ur running outta sp so u slam them into random skills to try to make up for the lack of sp lvl, and a couple of lvls later, ur doing step 1 again.

Jk well usualy after that people do what i just said up there or buy/find an sos wep, but if ur not one of the lucky ones this is what u gotta do.
This will be listed like so [lvl-to-lvl]-[gap]-[wep]
[1-13]-[1]-[bow]
[13-19]-[2]-[rec.bow because u still not killing fast enougph]
[19-24]-[4]-[switch to sword if u want but imma keep wit my bow]
[24-29]-[4]-[think about those chains and skills u gotta lvl, sword]
ive only planed this out so far, and why
[1] im grounded
[2] school
always keep a gap, unless ur going to farm it all at one time, wich i hate doing but turns out for the best.
[GUILD]
Good guilds are always good to have, because some of the more advanced players can help u out with, special training areas they have found during there time in silkroad, or for help trading and such. To get in one of these good guilds do not join a random one, usualy yull find people around sounth gate that are supper strong, try to become there friend, and ask them how they like there guild, and if u do trades together. Like me im in a guild called SoulSociety and i have a wonderful leader, we can do trades, together, as a union,guild, or even just a party.
[MAPS]
This is what ive planed out, so far on where to train there will only be for now because becheon, since there slower at killing need to use bow at the starting, and spear nukers cause they deal quite abit of damage.
[BLADER_BOW]
lvl 1-3 mangyans
lvl 3-5 weasels
lvl 5-8 water ghost
lvl 8-11 trees [yes forgot there name so ill call them trees]
lvl 11-14 theres a little spot if u folo the path to get to the ferries, theres a space with tiggers in it thats usualy a good place if not go further south and yu'll find a plateau tipe thing where theres very little people.
lvl 14-16 black tiggers/tiggers
lvl 16-19 white tiggers/black tiggers
lvl 19-21 chakji
lvl 21-24 hyugno
lvl 24-26 horses
lvl 24-29 earth ghost/meek gun powder
oh and at lvl 22-23 theres a hyugno flag quest wich i think is realy important
[SPEAR_NUKER]
*WATCH UR HP, AND USUALY MAKE A NUKER IF U ALREADY HAVE QUITE ABIT OF GOLD, FOR POTS AND SUCH*
lvl 1-3 mangyans
lvl 3-8 water ghost
lvl 8-11 trees
lvl 11-13 tigger
lvl 13-16 black tigger
lvl 16-19 chakji
lvl 19-24 hyugno *u need to have spear petal*
lvl 24-28 ish horses
lvl 28-39
Nukers require there armor more then str because of there low health so they tend to be more expensive, make sure u have the passive, helps money wise, and exp wise
[CLOTHING]
Well i hope u already know the difference, but if not
Armor- High phy def
Prot - Med phys-mag def 10% speed -10% mp cunsuption
garm - High mag def, 20% speed -20% mp cunsuption
some people prefer prot, as do i but if ur fighting monsters that usualy use phys then ur going to use the stuff that helps u the most. heres what i suggest for the builds
Str- garms because they have low mag def, but if ur fighting stuff like
tiggers u should use armor because they are phys based so you
will use alote less pots
Int- Armor because they have low phys def, and in jangan the monsters
are mostly all phys based, but if ur fighting 2 different kind of
mosters at the same time, wich yull be doin in later lvls i suggest
prot
[HYBRID]
If u already havent noticed i do not realy like hybrids, and i already wrote this so ill make it short, Int hybrids are the best because they can deal damage while still being able to take it. Pure hybrid , worst don't even try because 99.99 % yull quit it and the other 00.01 will be to mad to restart.Str hybrid ment mostly for bow users not sure because never tried one.
[SCAMMERS]
Not all people in silkroad are nice like me

s be care full, only buy if its in stall, and never give out username <- obvious, do not download stuff that says they will make u rich in silkroad, because thats impossible, unless u bot, and then whats the point yu'll just get banned. So protect urself. "Quote from condom comersial"
btw u can post this anywhere u want because i do not care if u give me credit, u know why??? Because yull learn this anyways as u go along in the game. So good luck, and have fun.
Oh almost forgot tell me if u want me to add/change/fix something in the guide ill always give u credit if asked. Leave feed back
