What i am trying to say in this post is that with the use of intelegence, there are many ways to save money and time on silkroad.
the first method i am gonna talk about is for low level chars. This will say time significantly. when u finish a quest like hunting bandits or tigers, or bugs and u hav to talk to the npc for rewards and new quests all the way back into town. The use of return scroll is great. Anotehr way and my way if i dont hav a return scroll is die. the time saved from walking to town is maybe 5-10 mins. With this much time saved, the mere 2 percent can be made up by grindn about in about 2mins or less. around lv 20-30 2% might sound alot but u hav more fun killn for exp than riding or walking on a horse. So wat im tryn to say is that for low lv guests or u run out of pots dieing can save u time. Another advantage that this gives is sp farming. many may not realize this but dieing is sp farming. most chars require sp farming. oh wait, ALL of them do. IT can thou get very annoying. most chars only really need like a lv 3-5 gap all te way through and they will be fine. if u die alot of times, u may gain alot of extra sp pts than intented or planned. But at higher lvs, do not do this and i dont think i need to clearify y.
If u use windwalk or transportation, try to look at the map and look mentally draw a straight line from ur position to destination. Then look at the angle and decide wat angle u walk. also draw a straight line from Point A (ur sposition) to Point B (ur destination). keep in mind that the shortest way from pt A to pt B is the straight line between tehm. No curves or anything. This is true in fights if u ever get into 1. always punch at a straight line from waist to face and that is the shortest way. dont do any fancy stuff and stupid hooks or uppercuts. This is just a metaphor. But i c ppl walk around mindlessly and walk a much greater distance than needed. Over te long run this perhaps might be hrs that r used on lving or farming instead of walkn to Point B.
The next thing i will talk about is resting. many think its a waste of time. It is when u r grinding. But at time when u r not doin anythn with teh char, u can rest. Times like u r reading about some skill or deciding whether u want to spend the sp pts on this skill or the other. Or at time u try to find a exp distribution party. Resting heals u by a proportion and maybe take 4-5 heals to completely heal from half way down hte hp bar. Over te long run, it can save u the money to buy more pots in 1 run.
Here r some guidelines to folo when using a normal return scroll.
1. find a remote area where no aggressive mobs r around and might atk u.
2. its time consuming and slow. maybe sit down and rest to get some health and mp back while waiting.
Also always hav 1+ transportation with u in inventory. dont hesitate on buyn them.
BTW, for those who dont hav monkeys or items bought with money. put the autograb on spacebar. its easier than clicking on the item when trying to pick up somthing.
THese r just a few ways to save time. there r many more methods. Hopefull u can find a few that works for u.
please tell me if anything needs clearification. i want to keep everything simple
here are some other great points.

I'll just add one, from lvl 1 to 10, dont use pots at all, and dont bother resting. Just keep grinding until you die, then autoress on the spot by clicking the right option. Save the pots you pick up for lvl 11 onwards.
ty, sylhana. i didnt kno that before.
i just remebered some tips for pot use.
first drag pot to hotkey. (ofcourse 99 percent does already)
second use mana or health pots right after u use ur skill or takes dmg. this way it doesnt just add the health it is supose to add but also make up the additional loss of mana or hp
it might be confusing but ill explain it.
say u hav mana pots that heal 220. u imbue to fight a monster. say u hav 500 mp left and ur imbue costs 120mp. then u would be down to 380mp right? Then u use the pot and the pot will get ur mp all the way to 720. it will cover the loss and add additional mp or add the number its suppos to heal.
if need further more explaination, plz inform me
