Silkroad Online Forums

Well, as you probably see, I am new in this game / forum.

I read some of the characters and guides, and I decided to go with a full INT nuker. But even after reading all the guides, I still have some questions that I didnt see in those guides.

By the way, before you start reading, I need to ask you something.. Those are long questions which need nicely detailed answers.. I am new ingame and I dont wanna make any mistakes because I am gonna regret them later on...

1) As a nuker, should I raise my weapon's masteries? ( E.g: If I use spear, should I lvl up the Heuskal masteries? Because I am gonna use nukes mostly, so is there a point? )
2) If I raise my Heuskal masteries, does it increase my PHYSICAL attack only? Becuase is says "When a spear is equipped, attack is increased by # %"
Does it mean it will increase my attack including mag. attack? Or only the phy.?
3) It's really hard for me to choose wether using Sword+Shield or Spear. Can you please advise me?.. I noticed that a lot of people use Spear for monsters/mobs or whatever you call them.. And Sword+Shield in PvP. I dont understand how is that possible? I think that as nuker, you gotta have lightning (Speed, parry ratio and ofcourse the nuke), Ice is also important (Nukers have low phy. def so ice helps a lot. ) Fire is optional.. But if I choose to use fire too, how the hell should I have enough masteries to use heuskal, sword, ice light and fire? o.o I am new and I need some instructions.
4) Do I need to farm, at all? I guess I do because I chose to use a lot of masteries.. But in which lvl and what gap? I dont wanna go all game with a lvl 5-6 gap >_< I'll get bored.. So I wanna know exactly how much sp should I farm and in which lvl ?
5) Is there any difference between the servers? Like in drops or anything? Currently I play in Xian.. I just chose randomly.. so please answer that..


Well, those are my questions, I really hope someone will have enough power to answer me, I really need help. Thanks in advance ^^

1. whether u raise ur wepon masteries is up to how many force trees u plan on doing. if u plan on being a 3-way nuker, it's prolly not a good idea to raise ur wep masteries at least not very far. Demarthl didn't have any wep masteries and he did very well. most ppl do raise wep though. using heuskal means that u can have the hp bonus (passive) up to lvl 60, which is useful since a pure int has very low hp. (this is actually explained in the nuker's guide)
2. heuskal skills only increase ur phys dmg
3. u can do a 90/90/90 for ice,fire,light, and 15/15 for sns, spear
4. read the sp farming guides there r a TON of them
5. no dif between servers in terms of drops, although xian as the oldest has the most inflation, the better part of the non-botted high lvl players, harder to log-in, thaz really the only dif between servers, i forget the order they came out, but aege and troy r older also so same as xian to a lesser degree. alps, greece, and olympus r very new so more botters at the top, less inflation, easier to log in. the rest r sumwhere in the middle.

Thanks. =)
