Silkroad Online Forums

When I first started playing I read up on the topic of SP Farming by kagenutto - "Masteries, SP Farming, and what it all means"
and have been SP Farming since birth. The forum said to choose ONE weapon mastery and ONE element mastery at lvl 10. Currently I am lvl 15 and (to all you assholes who redicule others for no reason at all) that would make me a "noob". I am a blade and lighting build with over 1100 sp, and I was wondering if getting the Force mastery would be worth it. The forum said to get it if I REALLY wanted, but I just want to know if I should get it or just use my SP for Blade and Lighting mastery only.


(and like the forum I am going to continue to SP Farm until lvl 37)

No, its not worth it.

Depends on how high you want to level your other masteries. It is a bummer because i love the circle, its awesome for killing giants or when thieving. So what i decided to do was level up force for that only and then i'll completely delevel it when i need to level up another mastery.

I don't think alot of others would agree with that though.

use it to grind, once done, de-level

but i guess those cures could be quite useful

The ONE weapon and ONE force thing isn't all that useful at higher lvls, esp if you plan on PVPing (which as a blader will be your strong point). For example, at 70, I'll have maxed, or close to, fire, ice, lighning, and sword materies, with a little bit in either bow or force (for the parry reduce skill for hutner/theif wars)

As a blader I imagine that force would be a lot less useful to you, but if you have the patience to SP farm for a long enough time, I highly recommend getting as many skills as you can. More masteries = more buffs = stronger and harder to kill.

If you have the cash, pick up a 16 SoS bow, and chill in the bandit den until your eyes bleed. If you have a monkey, you'll also be able to pick up insane amounts of cash.

Lightning blade healer!

If you go with the force tree, that will be really helpfull for you and your guild. Its mostly the res and harmony skills that will be usefull, so concentrate on them if you feel you dont want to spend too much sp on it.

The higher you get, the more will your ressing skills count because not many people are willing to take force all the way up. Its really annoying for your enemys when you fight them and as soon as a guildmate or a friend dies, you res him/her and continue the fight together. Yesterday I was out hunting with a nuker and thanks to my res we manage to pull of some hard fights. One guy even used 3-4 res scrolls just to try to take us out. What a pity...
My res don't cost any silk

well isnt it true during a raid on traders, hunters and thieves should res their comrads in battle to win? i mean just having res in force is good...right?

First: Being a low lvl in the game doesn't make you a noob at all.

I personally don't think force is worth getting. But i you really want to you could get it. Atleast the Soul rebirth skill (res). The rest? No. Exg: Harmony therapie looks cool right, and it’s handy, but it will never be as handy to your build then to a bow user. The passive can be usefull and the rest is just extra. Which i think will be useless for your build.
