I have not seen people glowing, but maybe you are talking about a big glowing circle, its called Harmony therapy and its a spell, or maybe you actually mean that the weapon they have glows, if thats the case, then thats a SOS or seal of star weapon, SOS items are very rare and expensive (overpriced in most cases) you can get sos from monster drops or at stalls.

Well
if you mean a green glow then thats either a moving scroll or an
lighting skill that makes you run faster.

Or is it a circling glow either red or white? Then it's either a fire buff or an ice buff ^^

Hello, and welcome playing silkroad
I think, it's harmony therapy which is a brown-yellowish glowing in a big circle around them - u could get it at force - force. OR maybe a talisman if it's glowing at the side of the char's face - and this u could get it either buying it or if ure lucky, drop from monster
Seal Of Star are something that is really rare to get and are sold at high price. Well, u could see a person have a sos weapon on them by the weapon's purplish glowing
Good day ~ Enjoy.

this is very neat info.. i am currently wearing armour, how do i get a talisman to fit with it? are garments better than armour?

You get the moving speed scroll from jewelry boxes, or u can buy from other players. To get the grasswalk buff, u can use it when u're lightning mastery is lvl 12. The red/white buff is available from the fire or ice mastery tree. (you shouldn't have too much masteries though, try keep to 3 trees, maybe 4 if u sp farm)
No, garments are not necessarily better than armor. Garments give u a speed and mp bonus, but armor provides the best physical protection.
A seal of star weapon is a weapon much better than a regular one. Keep it just for the pretty glow, or u can probably sell it for a lot of money later on. You can buy more from another player, or u can hope that u're lucky and get another one.

Hello again.
A talisman doesnt fit with armor and protector. They only fit with garment. so there's no other choice if u'd want to use it you have to wear garment.
Those SoS(Seal of Star) , SoM(Seal of Moon) and SoSun(Seal of Sun) are sometimes drop as weapons,accessories or armor. They are stronger and better than the normal ones and of course it is very expensive. They are really rare to get. And it's from any monsters though. Really² rare. So guess u've got luck :p. Congrats.
I thought So-Ok was not available anymore? The event has finished. I'm not sure about this though. Sorry.
Those right bottom end on ur inventory are used to put job suits or capes.
Hope this helps u.
~Good luck~
P/S : Sorry for the late reply. Too much SRO

q1: dont think you can turn them in anymore
q2:That would be where you equip either youir cape, which you can get at lvl 20 to pvp, or thief suit, hunter sign, or trade flag.
and about your lvl 8 sos weapon you can probably sell that fo r alot of money, if you can post a screen here I can try to tell you what its worth.
its worth many millions

Sounds like you are talking to So-Ok the Singer in Barrom Street.
The "Event So-Ok" was removed on the the 9th January Update that ended the Christmas/New Year Event.

2. You Mean When You Trade ? The Comp Ones ??? You Shouldnt Start At Lv 20 If Your Tradeing Because Its Alooot Harder,At Last 25+
3. The Monkeys,Bunny Things....You Can Get Them From Itam Mall,You Need To Buy Them With Silk (You Get Silk With Real Money)....

You will lose exp, but no sp. The atker may gain some exp/sp, but also murder status if no cape/suit was equipped. If cape equipped, neither side gains or loses anything. If suit was equipped by both sides, u still lose exp, atker gains exp/sp, but not murder status.q2. i find thieves tracking me everywhere

Don't grind near trade routes. Run ^^
q3. how to get a pet?
You may buy a wolf from stable for 1 mil, or 130 silk from item mall. You can also buy a monkey, squirrel, or rabbit from item mall.

thanks again (Y)
i think i want to initially buy a wolf with silk. so once i buy it from sro how do i get it actually -
i. does it show as a scroll in my inventory?
ii. how does sro know who paid for it? i guess since i am logged in they would have a means of knowing but how will they know which character to show it under (since i mostly nowadays play at redsea but i do have a very old character under sparta)?
iii. i have never seen an item mall selling pets? which npc does?
