just wondering. what job would you recommend a beginning player. I have a 2h swordsman.

None keep grinding. If you want you can go trader from 20-39 doing 1*'s..At 40 and up you won't be safe from player thieves, even with a 1*.

To participate successfully in a job war, you really need to be at least level 95, but at your level, I recommend being a trader until level 40, and doing only 1* trades.

Adding to that, after 40 you can do trades but it's very very difficult if you don't have high stealth ability, luck, or if there are more than 8 active lvl 100 thieves on your server. See picture below for how 8 lvl 100 thieves(red dots) can effectively stop all trades between cities.

On that map you can go from Hotan to Samar

No, you can't. He blocked all exists from Hotan.

Wait, forgot there is not top exit/entry point. (1 year + since I played sro)

Thanks for pointing that out

You can still get special goods from Takla to samark!

just start doing 1* trades at that level when you can tank kokorus/peritons or earth ghosts, cuz imo if you'd do a trade at this level you would get raped by them.

If you want to gain gold by trading, you can make a warrior/bard. Bard noise at 20 will hold off any mobs in DW<->Jan route. Being a warrior should be enough to not die from a champ's hit

hmm a lvl 25+ pure bard can do the same thing unless u come across a giant or something, but if your careful u hardly ever die from mobs.

oh yeah wen u see a player thief following u never EVER even accidentally set off ANY kind on aoe attack

[quote="aishsharma"]oh yeah wen u see a player thief following u never EVER even accidentally set off ANY kind on aoe attack

thats not true actually. if u are a trader are u are doing a 1 star, even if you do an aoe attack, it wont hit the player thief.

however if you go straight to the player thief and cast a skill on him then i dont know what it does.

I once had a lv20 wiz/bard. Trading in euro wasn't hard at all. Noise protected me til punishers and when i crossed the bridge to samarkand i just hopped on my horse and walked to samarkand. X-Large pots were very helpful.

xlarge pots cost more than you make on 1* trade... :S or you make like 2k for 30 minutes of work

get to lvl 30+ and trade away till lvl 40

hmm maybe they changed it, afaik light imbue and booming chord hit player thiefs close to u

I meant x-large recovery kits.
