Yes, yes you would
Not only do you get more money for making it from Point A lets say... Jangan
To Point C, Hotan...
Skipping Don Wang... You get More exp as well =)
But don't go Hotan Unless your at least 40... Then theres the one star problem.. I could make it at 35 But I had to dodge alot =)
If you are 40+ might as well go a 2 star as well!
If you int dont go 3 star unless you have help.. 5 or 6 thieves on you isnt easy... *tear*
And Camels all the way!
Tanking is rather essential in lvl 30+ mob areas otherwise before you know it your (WEAK) Horse is gone...
Hope I helped!
