Silkroad Online Forums

Ok, I did some stuff and now it's the ?????? error, but I've done everything I could find to get rid of it... looks like I'll have to reinstall the whole freaking game.

After clicking "Start," the two little gameguard things come up, and then nothing happens. Looking at the task manager while it's going on, silkroad.exe closes as soon as the gamegaurd thing comes up.
what should I do?

thanks.

hyeongcheon vs. earth magician vs. earth taoist (30)

do they have very different drops or anything? (how should I decide which one to level up on?)

1 year isn't so bad.
Thanks!

Oh sorry, Lv. 27

I thought getting to the cap was a big deal, but people in Characters & Skills are always talking about builds in terms of Lv 80, and in planning towards that... so how many people get to lv 80 without botting? how many months does it take? (i'm only at lv 27 after 8 weeks) how much is a normal ...

I'm trying to make my character less sucky, so I want to make sure that these are the right things to do. I have 89 str and 81 int (Lvl. 27); I'm going to just add points to str from now on. I'm gonna start right now leveling up all pacheon combat skills, except autumn wind-flame and demon soul arro...

Huh, I tried again, and this time, after a few seconds, it updated (takes a few min) and afterwards, the start button appeared.

Hi, i have some questions about the game XD 1# whats the max lvl in the game?? ( and the koreans??) 80. 2# whats sosun mean?? or is it soson?? It's a very, very rare attribute of some gear that makes it much stronger. (I believe SOS/Seal of star is 5 lv stronger, SOM/Seal of moon +10, and SOSun/sea...

Same with me.

Woo! Thanks. So it sounds like the best thing for me to do is just add str points from now on... I'd just like confirmation from anyone that that'll be ok, given I already have 81 int. For pacheon skills, I should get all of them except autumn wind. What about fire? (Should I get the fire wall thing...

Great, thanks. You guys are really helping, but I NEED EVEN MORE str/int: So is 70/70 balance when you have the same number of points in str and int? Can I still be a successful pure(ish) str if I already have 81 int? What are the advantages/disadvantages of pure str vs. pure int vs. hybrid? (and wh...

I'd like to get multiple opinions on this, if possible. I'm lv 27, but I don't want to make a new character; I really need advice on how to make up for my massive suckiness. I have (naked) 89 points in str and 81 in int. I think I've also badly managed my skills: Pacheon Lv 22: Anti devil bow-Missil...

FIXED IT! Ok, it looks like either downloading the driver from NVIDIA's site, or changing some DEP thing did it. ( http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp ) Could somebody edit the first post of this thread to include all these possible suggestions I've seen? -update graphics driver -contr...

I'm now getting the ?????? error every time I try to play silkroad... It comes up after the GameGuard thing, after the option/guide/movie/exit/start screen. I changed the .exe files' compatibility. The graphics settings are as low as they can get. I added Silkroad to the firewall exceptions. I'm not...

Yes, all that helps a lot.

And I've been playing for about 4 weeks; I got one SOS thing from some kind of tiger.

Is the improvement in the items you get from being at a lower level with respect to monsters significant enough that I could get really good items by fighting high-level monsters? You don't get better drops just because the monster is higher level than you. It'll drop whatever it is supposed to dro...

How is the durability reduction over time calculated? (I want to be able to estimate how long it takes for my weapon/armor to break) I had a stall and my inventory open when SRO closed for the server check tonight. Am I in danger of losing anything? If you have grass walk-Flow on while you're on a h...

sorry, what I meant was
How much more or less exp (than me) would my wolf get if I'm at a 4 or 5 gap?

also, I meant to ask if champions were 2x as hard as regulars and giants were 10x, so I only got half of it wrong.

Alright, thanks.
So how much exp would my wolf get if I have a 4 or 5 gap?

If multiple people are fighting a giant or something, how is the exp divided up? Is it correct that champions are 4x as hard as regulars, and giants 10x? What are elites like? What type of monsters should one fight to maximize drops, and what type for exp? If your wolf is the same level as you, will...

So there aren't any Lvl. 20 or 21 shoulders at all?

I want good armor for my level.

Does anybody have any suggestions about how to acquire this stuff? I still need a protector chest, shoulder, legs, and also 2 rings. (lv 21)
Nobody seems to have any of this.

I'm Lvl. 21, and up till now I had a set of lv 18 or so armor (protector). I sold it all today, with plans to buy a full set of good lv 21 protectors, maybe with really good lv 20's. (blues, +'s, etc.) I managed to buy a nice bow, glove, and coronet. However, after looking at every stall in Donwhang...

I have a ruby stone of challenge if you still want to buy them and I haven't sold it by the time you get back to me. Send a message to me in game (Pulk). (Press u, Msg box tab).
Thanks

Thanks for all the help; your answers were really useful. I liked them so much, I have some more questions! How do people move really fast, floating or with a green trail? If you lose an item when you die, is it shown on the right? (something like this:) [1579] experience points lost [1 Hunter Bronz...

1. Cannot connect due to server traffic / Disconnected from the server This morning (Sunday) I've been trying for basically two hours straight to log in, but there are too many people playing.
