1.0 Summary of iSRO and foreword.

iSRO is short for International Silkroad Online. Since i haven't played kSRO I don't know much of the differences', Altrough I know that kSRO do have many more high lv weapons and clothin. I will update this section later when I get a hold of more info and since I made this guide when my internet connection was unconnected I wasn't able to search for info. You will read in this guide of build, skills, weapons and also traning spots. NO QUEST MANUAL INSIDE. Also this is just a short guide that I will update later on, this is more or less the base of the guide. Also all mailed in info will get a Special Thanks section where the names of the informants will be. Also send in questions for a FAQ section. Mail: Join993@hotmail.com. Thansk to Lenon on kSRO info ^^

1.2 Rumours.

Msg me with romour here, about anything that has to do with SRO.

First, I heard that Joymax will add a new Continent, along with that it's said that they'll add Arabs in addition to the European, also the most expected char at the Arabs are Summoners. They're supposed to work like a Necromancer from games like GW, and will summon monsters to help you.



2.0 European Characters summary.

Caster are the Warlock and the Wizard. They wear robes and have a devious magic arsenal. The Wizards are probably the ones who do most damage on one skill. Warlocks also don't only use damage dealing skills, they have mighty magics that drain the life from their opponents and use the lifeenergy from them to refill their own HP. Though the Casters are most often pure INT which make them fearing warriors, since the casters don't only have low HP, they wear robes which make them EXTREMLY wounrable from warriors and Physical damage. *I need to know, Wizard as what job, i think thife since invisible skill but? anyone tell me please.*

The buffers are the Cleric and the Bard, both wanted and sought-after for partys 'cause of their godly buffs. Though they aren't good damagedealers which make them pretty reliable of others in the higher levels. Often Warriors go for a buffer aswell as they're pure Str, whit the buffs warriors will become incredibly powerful. If you wan't to be a buffer, I don't recommend Pure buffer. It's all to many bots in SRO and it won't be to easy to find a good party, the buffers don't do good damage ither.

Mele, that's the section for the Rogues and the Warriors, Both are feared over the SRO world and will kill you fast if you don't do some serious fighting. Rogues don't rely on defence, they rely on that their daggers/crossbows will kill their enemy before they notice. When in stealth the Rogues are feared enemys in PvP as well in Thieving. Rogues also have INCREDIBLY high critical rate and have a skill that highens that also which makes them even more feared. Warriors on the other hand, Are the hunters of the game, The ones with the high HP, high physical defence, high damage, The only thing they are really bad at is at taking Magic damage, But with a healer that is no fear anymore. Warriors are also the most appreciated as Hunters, since they don't have any kind of invisible spell they can't sneak up on thier victims.

2.1 Character Builds

Wizard: The best way to go here, is Pure INT. Some people will put in a bit STR since the lack of HP that wizards have but that is at cost of damage. Damage of HP? Choose. The skills here is more or less if you ask me, max the elementor passives. The ones highest up on the Wizard skilltable. They are the ones that make you aquire new skills, But on some skills, Ex. Fire trap, You need to have firetrap lv 13 if you wan't to have the Fire trap at the higher lvls.

Warlock:Pure INT is the way to go here. I don't know much on this actually. I Think there's a passive skill that you will have to have to aquire other skills, more or less I think this is just like the Wizard just other names and so.

Buffers I don't know about, send me an email with info and I'll update.

Warriors: I think the way here is obvious, Pure STR damn it! Depend on if you are a dual axe, one handed sword, or a two handend swordman. More or less, you'll here too need the passive skills of your profession.

Rogues: Pure STR, Maybe you wan't a hybrid? If anyone got a good hybrid build, mail me! ^_^ Here I don't know if there is passive skills needed to get next skills, think soo though, Also if you are a Crossbow man or a Dagger dude, you will ither need Crossbow Extreme or Dagger Desperate. The skills make your Crit rate MUCHO higher~

2.2 Traning spots lv 1-20

Foreword: This part might be messed up for the people that dont have a SoX or any good blue weapon. Since I mostly one way or another aquire a SoX I train on monsters higher lv than people without one, and this part is based on my own experience.

Pure Int chars: you will nearly have to kill the mobs that you train on in one hit, otherwise your low HP and defence will become a bigger burden than any other time. So if the monsters said here nearly kill you, move to something lower lv and survive instead of D-lv an, yeah, D-lv again. Unless you have Heavy armour from a side profession.

Lv 1-4: You might be able too kill the lv 4 monsters at Travelers hill, Otherwise just kill Movias and Movois.
Lv 4-8: Maybe you should lv up to lv 5 on the Edenps or what they're called, If you can go and kill the wolfs in lv 5. also in lv 8 you can train at the Barpolle camp, ither with the Crossbow bandits at the entrances or the Bartis.
8-13 Now you should be able to go and kill the Barpolles without any trouble, Also you maybe wanting to got to the Kikoples at the lv of 12.
13-16: Now you should really kill Ladons, Simos of Adunas, chose from your ability.
16-18: Go to Nemeas or Selens lion at the Temple, Be carefull though, they have a habit of teaming up.
18-20: I don't recommend to go and kill the Sirens. The fear ability the have make them hard to kill and even harder to survive. IF you can afford go to China and kill the Chjackis or maybe take the ferry over to the crabbys at the Samarkand island.

I really hope that you like this guide >_< my first guide, EVER

Differences between iSRO and kSRO? U dont have all high lv items in iSRO like in korean version.

Very nice if it was your first one. And thanks man, I also wish to PvP you one day, I'll hold on 80 to fight you xP. About Cleric, well, I've heard they do the highest magical damage in the game. I'm not sure, I've a cleric lvl 15 full INT ( on Mars ) and looks nice. Like every nuker they lack of hp, so I died many times, but the damage isn't that bad, and it's defence it's balanced with the help of some skills.

And thanks for adding me in 1st place <3 I also thank your for your support and help

Clerics dont have the highest attacks, wizards do... However, clerics have the strongest skill in the game (so far) "Offering" & "Pure Offering" these 2 skkills r the strongest skills in both euro & chinese, its an AOE so u can kill a multiple number of opponents simultaneously (it has like 960% attack power), u get offering skill at lvl40 & pure offering at lvl80, these skills have long cooldown time tho (not sure how much exactly) it makes sense so u wont spam them in pvp or wars. One last thing, this skill absorbs some of ur hp...
Here is one more reason why wizard + cleric is considered one of the deadliest builds in the game.

Warlock is kinda boring though on this game, you cant summon any cool mobs to fight with you :[[

Some people go Warlock / Warrior, first they lay down their curses on u then they tank u for as long as possible trying to cause more damage using 1-h sword...
I say its too much trouble to kill someone, but its another way of finishing ur opponents in style.

Lol, only 1 person voted? That's me then ^^

Hey all, for a wizard the best job to get is a hunter, although they have an invisible spell, the spell makes an entire party invisible and that is extremely helpful when trying to elude those damn thiefs. But because of the wizards low hp it is also helpful to have another person helping you hunt.

in other words, having a tank with ya, yes ur right ":]]

Could be just as useful in thiefing parties imo

i suppose its a matter of opinion but, if you are a lower level it would be better to be a wizard hunter, and when ur higher level it may be more useful being a wizard thief. that is what i found out any way lol its probably different for everyone.

Why?

lol i knew you would ask that lol well i was thinking that when you are lower lvl and your a hunter you will be able to be protected by a tank and as most thiefs are high lvl and u rarely see thief parties it might be better to be a high lvl thief wizard lol

There are thiefing parties as well as hunting parties, and imo thiefing or hunting is useless until you get to lvl52+, you'll get your ass kicked A LOT. Besides, until you get to lvl40 best job is trader by far, 1 star trades can't be touched/pooped by thieves.

lol i agree lol but im already hunter and i cant be bothered to change

would be much cooler if there was a lvl system like 3-5 lvls higher cant touch you so everyone could take part ofany lvl 20+ lvl they are and be thief/trader/hunter whatever

Uub wrote:would be much cooler if there was a lvl system like 3-5 lvls higher cant touch you so everyone could take part ofany lvl 20+ lvl they are and be thief/trader/hunter whatever

then it would be too easy to make 5 star trades, and if it was as you say, imagine how it would look IRL, i am going full truck of cannabis, and you want to rob me, but then god comes and says, his younger than you, you cant touch him O_O (stupid fantasy ;DDD), it would be stupid, ye?
