is it worth starting them at level 20? because i would like to try merchanting, but im to weak to kill other players =/ is thee good gold in merchanting and can you get attacked on your first trip?

its ok for a 1star trade now that srolls are nonaggro

is a 1 star trade your first trip or is a low profit item from the special goods man? or is it level 1 merchant?

when i was 24 i did enough trades to make 1 mil in a day so yeah, start as soon as u can so u can get as much money as u can, they can help a lot when ur lowlvl.

I never did jobs, found no need to. Gonna enjoy them at 64+ though.

i did about 5 or 6 trades in one day 1* but thiefs 64+ got their thiefs on me each time but in the end i had a success trade

OMG how many 1star trades was that? You must have had friends helping, cause the cost of horse pots and everything would have been crazy.

1 star means it is a low profit run. You don't carry so much goods.

Here are some useful tips to think about when trading your first time.

A chart too see how much goods you can buy untill you reach next difficulty level of your trade.

1 star = easiest and no player thief can attack you
2-5 stars = you can be attacked by other players and you will get more npc thief spawns the more stars you have

I advice you to have someone higher level with you on your first trade. Makes things much easier untill you get acquainted with the whole trading bit.

thanks =D

I think if you're 1 star the thieves are lvl 18.

I think they spawn 0~3 lvls below you, (with 1 star). And a higher lvl with more stars.

try and get a hunter to get you through jangan if you can

Jobs at lower levels are fun, I was lvl 3 thief at level 35, those were fun and simple times, oh the good old days.

Wow, that's really good.

Also, pvping in Pacific looks like it's gonna be EASY. Almost every single person I've seen doing a job is level 2x or 3x.

I'm gonna start at 3 or 4x.

depends on the job. Thiefs, not worth it since you get killed by high lvl hunters, hunters not worth it, you get killed by thiefs npc or them, merchants semi-worth it...if you have a good route.

what server r u in ?

chances are you'll get popped, which isnt a nice experience.. lol
i waited until lv30 before i start any job.

i'm lvl 52 and with a +5 glavie i still get owned everywhere i go,

that's the main reason i quit SRO because i didn't want to go to the cap and still be owned by 50% of the population
