if you are a trader , you won't find hunters with you
and if you are a hunter you will find traders but you won't find any hunters...
if you were a thief you will find nothing to rob

jobs are good for pvping teams only , sadly there's no more trading
except some traders/hunters guilds in a few servers , if you found any you can be a trader and you will gain much profit

Ok, but why did it die along cap 80? =/

There's trading and hunting but only if you have an active guild doing this. For example my guild does trade some times per week. We often do 5* and get 8 of 10 trades to the end. Sometimes we arent lucky due to any 100+ thief...

Pick any you want. For example Trader until 40 for 1* trades... if you dont have an active jobbing guild with lots of high lvls you wont be able to trade until high lvl again. High lvl here = 100++. Protected by 100++ hunters ofc. 60er fire bulls die so fast, anyhow take a Item Mall Pet for 2 Silk... They are better.

But yes, jobbing died. It isnt like before in 2005/2006 where everyone was busy at dw south/west or jangan trade routes.

Ok, but why did it die along cap 80?

Cap is lv 110 -> tons of sp needed -> ppl just turn on their bot -> almost the whole server is afk -> this goes for weeks and weeks -> u can't find anyone who replies to your msg -> when they are done with botting, farmed themselves, capped they r going to show you how strong they are that they can kill you in 1 hit (multiple times, they don't stop after they have killed you)...and so on...

But if I would to choose Trader, then I probably wont find any thief right? So then I could pull off a Jangan >>> Hotan Trade?

because there's no one actually playing the game ever since
almost everybody is afk , who would go trade?

yeah you can but not from jangan , as you pay 20$ extra tax , conest\samarkand is a good route , 2 or 3 stars would be good
and of course there IS thieves

Yes the tax but I can go two cities if i go from jangan. Cuz I wont make it through Roc Mt. or Taklamakan =(

i still cant believe its 110 cap already, seems such a sort time

Why the trading died? Because all the fun people quit. imo.

Hunter

Being a hunter is more fun than being a trader because you won't just be clicking and lying back on a transport. Also, there is basically a guaranteed income from the hunter guild weekly. Not much risk from being a hunter other than losing experience when you die.

However, there are obviously cons. The trader may ban you from the party, which results in a total loss for you. No other major cons.

Trader

You can do 1 star trade runs before level 40 without being attacked by player thieves.
Fairly simple because you can relax while hunters do all the work, but involves the greatest risk. High risk, pretty decent reward. Best thing is that you can do trade runs AND kill player thieves.

Thief

Effective in large groups to quickly destroy a trade run, however it again involves a great risk.

end of 70 cap -> Beginning of 80 cap

Most of the cool player bots left and gold bots were starting up... pointless to trade when you can make more gold botting/running gold bots. 70 cap and below player bots would bot up to 70 then pvp/hunt/trade/thief all the time. Good memories

Any are fun, I am Hunter, but... like they said u first gotta find a guild where they actually do a job, in Greece there are Trader/Hunter guilds and Thieves guilds, so decide which one u like better and Join the guild... if you are a nuker, or any Build, basically u can do what ever you want.. is not about doing the job on your own, is a team work at this moment...

Thief <3 (go with your friends)

Ok... Well I play on Pluto, does anybody know how the trades are there?

Pluto is dead. I didn't log on in 2 weeks because of the traffic. But with this 'new' cap, there will be hardly any job-actives.

come to sjsro, jobbing wars are there from lvl 30+

Actually, if you go Trader people also PM you to maybe get on their Hunter suit to aid you, and also more hunter come.
But be aware, pretty much every thief did like i.
No matter when, i see a Trader-hunterless, i get on my thief suit and big bag
Just make sure hes not a high level than you lol

thief

I've decided to go thief up to lvl 50 and then go trader
