I Can't do trade runs!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by dusting23 »

alright, i just got to lvl 20, Just about every time i try and do a trade run, everything starts out good. But then some jackass higher lvl theif follows me until the theifs that he has spawned stick on my and kill me and my horse, Then the pick up my stuff and carry on. Is there anything i can do to have successfull runs? it happens about everytime. How are the theifs even able to have trade horse and still be theifs at the same time? I am a noob so stfu. Anyway any suggestions will help, btw i am only doing 1 star trades

Trading at level 20 is just an accident waiting to happen. Doing any of the jobs at level 20 is an accident waiting to happen. Like what was said, grind to level 40+ then start jobbing.

if you can't handle a 1star, its your fault. 1 star popping is not something you can do something about until it is changed or fixed by SRO. I would recommend at least starting 1 stars at level 32. You don't really need the money that bad anyways. By level 32 you can already get your nukes, a new weapon, and level 30 horses. level 20 trade horses go down pretty fast.

lolz...i remember when i was lvl 20 and i was amazed @ how much the lvl 20 horses could[b] tank! I did a lot of 1 star trades @ lvl 20-25ish and i always made them. but that was long time ago, no in xian there probs r way mor lvl 70s, thus more poppers. I recommend grind 2 32. Then u get new transport and new 5th degree weapon.

I've been able to pull off many successful 1 star trades from lvl 24 on up.

Stay off the roads.

Stick to the trees when nearing the ferry.

There are hunters who will help you just for the exp.

I wouldn't recommend starting till your lvl 25. Starting at lvl 42 is over kill imo.

Hmm you could also discover a new way to thief.. like attack multiple stars! Like I do! God I’m so innovative.

Anyways, seems you got some bad luck there. When I was lvl 20, I pulled of lot’s of trades. It’s just a matter of whom you run into or not. Keep you’re head up high, and try again. (You might wanna look out for earthghosts btw, they’ll grouphug you to death im sure.)

Multistars are a rare thing yes. But for me that’s wat makes it interesting, looking for them. Running into hunters on your way, finally finding it. Hiding in the bushes dealing with your thieves. Popping doesn’t have this for me, feels wrong.

Thanks for all the input, I was able to pull a few trade by staying off the road and taking my time. I am giving up trade runs until i get a higher lvl. I have plenty of money now!!

My I'm-so-tired-of-poppers joke didn't get trough...

I like poppers for one reason though. Takes of the guilt killing a much lower level thief.

Your turning my joke into something out of proportion here. But please continue with yours and I'll continue with mine. The Babel roads haven't been safer for 1 stars in a long time.

I don't think a 1* trader should be 100% safe.

wow, you guys suggest being lvl 42 before doing a non-combat skill? [/laff] If this game is that hard to have fun at, then I quit. I was only trading till lvl 20 so I could do a job.
If it can be explained, it is of man.
