Yesterday when I was doing a trade run I noticed that none of the bots were attacking the NPC thieves that spawned and I was getting the same EXP from the thieves as I was from Chakji Workers and Chakjis. So i thought, "Hey this is a more efficient way of grinding." So for all of you complaining about bots and how you never get kills I suggest this to you. Buy a white flag in Jangan, do a multi-star trade, 5* if you are brave and take your trade to the water ghosts and go all the way back, as far as possible. Then you have uncontested mobs that are your level and it is much faster leveling.

Just my 2 cents.

Yea it'd be nice if the ppl in sro would work together
to just have everyone be a trader while afk and ppl could grind
on the thieves.

yes,but isnt the spawnrate pretty bad?
ive never done a 5 star,so i dont know

The 5 star spawn rate isn't bad at all. It'd be best to get a couple people to do a 5 star, get someone to set up a circle around traders and wait for the spawns and hoep you don't die

You can't handle a 5* alone

That's not true. It's very hard to handle a 5 star alone, but not impossible.

easier if you're a str build so the thieves don't kill u as easily, and its best to be immune to ice. Those ice thieves can e very annoying XD

u still get frozen/ frostbite until the pills activate AND frozen stops ur attks

That doesn't really work, cause they don't spawn as much as normal mobs.

But when you are not getting kills because the bots just KS you it is better than nothing.

yes getting frozen is annoying specially if ur a nuker ur just about to kill the thief with ur nuke but he freezes u and u ghota start ova ,,,,uni pills R A MUST!

Own harmony circle
Full som set
maxed blue
Sure can handle them

This also works best with a level 3x Nuker because you can attack multiple thieves with one light nuke.

Big trades are supposed to be more captivant and fun...so I suggest to grind your mobs for your quests or lvl
And go make big trades with your union or guild...fun guarranteed

Well, after kill all 5, you have to wait quite a bit until they come back again. So considering how long it would take just to kill 10 thieves, I'm pretty sure I could kill my level mobs at a faster rate. Plus you would have to worry about your transport dieing or being attacked by a player thief.

The best way to grind is just to simply do it by the time you wait for the thief's you could probably kill way more mobs your lvl even with bots defeating the purpose

2 players 5* Camels/Ox
6 players to kill the thief spawns
1 Xp share party

Its also good to have the traders be healers as well and make sure they never get off their mounts (and also keep a good supply of pills) for anything other then to rez players...

Having a couple players with a thief suit on hand to keep things going should the worst happen is also good...

ZeFrogyou right
thats the way to do tha trades

Just wait for party mobs.

lol i went to the swamps when i was a murder to get rid of the murder stats

You get more points off by fighting mobs your level

Hey now that's a good idea, I bet people will try that and may work.

As for a 5 star it sounds fun but....I don't want to waste my monye on that.

becasue 2 star plus the theifs get higher level than you, 5 star is about 4+ levels higher, dosent seem like much but theifs use imbues and nukes just like players. they could be using berserker arrow and you could be using antim devil bow.
