Input for Upcoming Guide

I'm going to write a guide to contribute to the SRO community, but however since yall are going to be the one reading it, especially the newcomers to SRO and the low levels, I'd like everyone's input on what topic I should write about.

As a lot of people probably know already, I have a very thorough and comprehensive knowledge of everything in this game from A to Z. (From SP farming as n00b, to making lots of gold, to making the best builds in SRO, and all the way to advance ub3r 1337 topics as hax0ring other people ( joking :P )

I also have detailed knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses on each and every build in this game, and the overall best build. I've done tons of PVPing on all types of builds imaginable with capped lvl 70 and 80 character on regular gears/full sos/full sun gears.... pure int s/s, pure int spear, pure int bow, pure str glaive, pure str blader, pure str bow, int hybrid s/s, int hybrid spear, hybrid bow, str nukers, dual weapon builds, tri-builds, 50:50 builds.... to sum it up, you name it, I've played on the char already. Don't ask me how... you don't need to know that. :P


The reason I'm going to write a guide is because it really ticks me off that almost every guides I've bother reading are BS with lots of wrong information and/or advice. I just feel that inexperienced people who are reading guides to better themselve in this game are not given the best advice possible... and that's one of the main reasons why we have many n00bs in this game. If only it was a requirement that "authors" who write a guide should have a capped character (the minimum) and lots of experiencein this game, including pvping (a huge plus), then it would help reduce this problem a little.


OK, now the question is that what guide would you like to see?

I've name a few that came to my head...
alchemy guide (w/tips... you've all seen my pimped up gears gears :P)
skill farming guide (how to maximize your SP in the shortest amt of time)
grinding guide (self-explantory)
money-making guide (how to be ub3r rich like me :P )
killing uniques guide (from a person who got the 1st yarkan kill in greece)
thiefing/hunting/trading guide (self-explanatory)
best builds guide ( guides of the best builds in sro )
worst builds guide ( guides of the worst builds in sro )
quest guide (self-explantory)
leveling guide (self-explantory)
general guide (just basically not very detailed coverage of a certain subject but it covers lots of areas)
skills guide (what skills to get and the priority you should give them)
pvp guide (suprisingly people stilldon't know how to pvp :( )
SRO tips & tricks guide (self-explantory)
How to make DarkJackal sing you a lullaby
how to get nightbloom to do anything... really (well ok not that one :P).

You just name what you'd like to see and you won't be disappointed... if what you want isn't listen, then you can state it in your post.

Why not just PM corrections to the other guide authors that are you feel generate BS and incorrect info?

If that author is no longer active then you could ask a moderator to update it for you...

If anything we need guides to be compiled...not more created...All you'd need is a max of 10 guides for the chinese chars (Won't know much about euro, like what JM has changed and such for the isro update until its playable)...Heuksal, Bicheon, Pancheon, Nukers, Wealth Creation, Adventurers Handbook (World guide, monster guide, Leveling, general tips +tricks), Hunters Handbook, Traders Handbook, Thieves Handbook...

Because when a guide needs a major revision due to ignorance, then that's not feasible. If it was a minor typo, then yes.

LOL death, you are funny

You must have constant fear that you are not equal to us in some way. You are always advertising your "all knowing" knowledge of this game.


And moderators. I thought hackers weren't welcome in these forums. If I am wrong, I guess I will have to delete my "inferior guide", and leave.

OH and to answer your question:
Your 1st guide should be explaining to me why i am wrong.

2nd should be the money guide, since that is why you are famous.

3rd should be the worst builds guide.
That one won't take long, since all you have to do is cut and paste from the guides already written on this forum.

money-making guide will help alot of us that are working so hard to get maybe a sox wep or even a full set.

If you do decide to make more then one guide then I would pick alchemy guide since I am having a lil trouble in their and seems other people are 2.

Thanks for contributing to all of us and Nice to meet you :D

my guide was 100% accurate for the 60 cap tyvm. :P

after the 60 cap ended, the guide was outdated and ppl still kept reading it. by the 80 cap i finaly had to ask the mods to close it because it was very midleading. but go back in time to the 60 cap, and it will still be the best guide around.

Ok, ones that I really want to read are:

- Alchemy guide
- Best overall build in SRO (Hopefully this should include Euro builds too.)
- WAR guide (How to fight/coordinate a war properly) <-- This wasn't listed.
