Same here I haven't seen a lvl 30 hunter except in the new servers (Persia).

This is not measuring the age of people who plays this game, but is measuring those who post in this forum, which means it's a subset of the sro players.

Apparently, I'm grandpa in this forum at 27.

satman83, where you get your stats from??? Who said the largest group of players are 10 to 16 yr olds. I like to see some reference if you don't mind posting. Actually, a research study was done on MMORPG games in general and the avg. age of users were 27 (between 13-34). Here's the link: http://www...

so that means if someone was going to rob you and threaten you with a toothpick does that mean u have to fight back with a toothpick as well? See this is how 'an eye for an eye' or scam the scammer or kill the killer gets stupid. The whole point of voltis5's scam was that he felt he was doing 'just...

Ok, you go to jail for that, you know??? Even in America! This means society don't accept this 'eye for an eye' thinking.

Very philosophical thread in some way... i.e. to kill a killer, to scam a scammer, to shot a shooter, etc. Obviously, laws doesn't apply in online games. Or does it!? Why don't you donate it, so you'll feel less bad I think that's how Robin Hood was able to sleep at night with stealing stuff by givi...

Screw PvP. Can't judge a pure int character based on PvP success; it's like 1% of the time you spent on PvP, the rest is killing mobs; + a bit of jobs. How much trouble do you have with mobs? Giants? That should be the questions. Also, at lvl 30, you don't have enough skills to be successful at pvp;...

Pure INT HP: 4732 Hybrid HP: 5592 5592-4732= 860 HP Cool I didn't know that. At 860 hp increase, that's worth adding the 18str considering this is a 18% gain in hp (at lvl 80) with only a 5% decrease in mag. balance (according to your links, from 96% to 91%). This is very interesting to me 'cause m...

Ok, here's the first bad comment How does 18str points going to help with defence??? Using the character builder calculator 18str points is equal to 203 hp!!! You could probably pick up 203hp by buying blue equipment with str & hp bonus; or add alchemy to it yourself. The 2nd lvl spear passive g...

Don't know why is this complicated. I've been attacked a number of times by hi lvl player thiefs while doing a one star. This is how they do it. They just spawn their cargo of stuff right next to the one star merchant; then annoyingly follow the 1 star until hi lvl npc thiefs spawn and kill the merc...

This might sound violent , but I don't care much for programming punishment. I want to be able to kill botters without getting a murder status. This is how I imagined it works; you have an option to accuse someone as a bot; then a silly little icon goes above the character's head indicating that it ...

do book1 fire and light nukes stay at lvl 1? Oh missed this one. All you need is lvl 1 of each book of nukes to get the next book. So, if you could wait till lvl 43 to get book 2 then there's no point of wasting your sp to lvl up book 1. lvl 50 for the 2nd book of light and ice. In terms of damage ...

The +1 thing ; I think most people in this forum is too manly to say they agree with each other, so they say '+1' or '+ whatever' as an indicator that they agreed. As for the spear mastery to lvl 30; it's a good idea because at 30 you could also bank on the spear hp passive, which you'll need as a p...

+1. Level to 39 with your masteries low at 30, then continue until 42. Farm here and delevel once you hit 43. Might take a while though. ++1 That's was exactly my plan for my character also. At 42, I could lvl my mastery to 33 still with a 9 gap and take on Red-eye Ghost. Not sure if you really nee...

Yes, 32 with a new weapon; I find as a nuker you could always take on higher lvl mobs as long as they are non-aggressive. The next non-aggro mob are the 'Black Robber Follower' (lvl 35). It should be about 200 sp per kill depending on whether you're in a party. At 32, it still only takes about 2 hit...

irbombardmnt wrote:how long to keep my mastery at 30?

I plan on sticking to it till 39. There's no real new skills until your second book of nukes, which is at your 40's. It's definitely doable for a nuker; it just takes longer to lvl... the consequence of not farming at 16!

Keep leveling while keeping your mastery at 30. +1 I have a pure int s/s & spear duel built at the same situation before; and also a friend who's a spear nuker. I think it's pretty typical of nukers to get their nukes once their character hit 30 and then end up with a zero gap. I'm now at 35 an...

if ur on alps Alas, no; I'm on Tibet server. I've tried defensive mode, but picked the wrong mob. Flowers attack it even at defensive mode; going to try other non-aggressive monster like Black Robber follower and Black Yeowa. Thanks for your offer or scam ! Also, thought the wolf is a good companio...

Hey, recently got a wolf at lvl20; my character is at lvl35. How would you go about fighting monsters at my character lvl with a wolf at a much lower lvl? The darn thing kept dying on me ; and it cost $50K to res it! Suggestions would be very much appreciated.

You guys do noticed that imbue, doesn't matter if it's ice, light, or fire; it doesn't make much of a differ for pure str characters. Since, it's such a small diff even with imbue, why not go with ice imbue. Just to balance the argument, you need the fire tree anyways, since pure str has shi tty mag...

if u have good enough gear 1 shotting white mobs is a great way to grind quickly Keywords, 'if you have good gear'; no way you could kill a white with 1 hit using a sword with non-SOS weapons; nukes damage fluctuates too much if you've noticed. Also, as a s/s your nukes are weaker than spear; it wo...

Hey, I have the same pure int s/s type character. I was also contemplating about the ice defence vs. extra hp from spear passive. End up going with Ice because I wanted to get all 3 types of nukes (ice nukes look cool!). My character is at lvl 32, so I have 2nd book ice at 1st lvl. I don't see how t...

The soul cut blade only costs 36 mana and does more damage than my 2nd book shout (318 mana) , so it saves a ton of pots. Agreed; soul cut is mp efficient + it does more damage than lionshout. white mobs: soul cut + nuke (+ soul cut again if necessary; you still have time to do all that with the 2n...

Can someone just answer my simple question???

Is it possible to summon and use the black hawk if my character do not use a bow?

Thanks.

Why sacrificing your damage just to freeze a damn mob? For slowing down the damage inflicted on you; for those with low hp; for the sissy who can't take a hit; for the poor boy who can't afford the hp pots. Of course, it's still the most ideal to kill it before it reaches you. i.e. fire + range bon...

yes you can, tbh honest though id say get the blue hawk or use teh white, the extra damage is not too much use where as the raised attack rating is. jsut my opinion though Yes, for this build, I'm into boosting the attack rating to increase nuke damage. I just noticed it fluctuates too much, that's...

threefingeredguy wrote:You can summon the black hawk then immediately switch to another weapon and keep the hawk out.

Just to clarify. My question was about whether I could still use the black hawk if I use a sword and shield?

Hey, 2 things I want to know about "Black hawk summon" for the bow skill. 1) Besides the black hawk being like a free wolf and looks pretty cool, does anyone find it useful? 2) I know to summon the black hawk you need the bow; if someone could clarify for me whether I would still have the ...

From only hunting experience with the bow, I think it depends on your build and what you plan on wearing . If you don't have the hp to tank (i.e. a hybrid or pure int), you will need ice to slow the monster down. In contrast, if you're full str bow, then you want the 'fire' power to increase damage ...

He said he's a 7:2 int hybrid, so using both nukes and lionshout are pure magic attacks; not puting his bit of Str into good use i.e. crit. If the flying dragon move does crit, then it's more powerful than lionshout. But, like Charlotte said, why not just nuke + ghost spear; that's a good distance a...
