Silkroad Online Forums

Often times I come across terminolgy that I dont understand when it comes to mmorph's (massive multiplayer online role playing games) and other games, many acronyms are used. Please contribute to help others understand.

Lets keep this simple, simply put the acronym and the definition.

Try to keep discussion to a minnimum, and feel free to ask if you have a word you dont understand.

All contributions will be merged into this first post for easy reading purposes.

This will be updated everday or so. Please be patient and thanks for contributing!

If you would your name as contributor, please specify that in your post, I am removing it by default to clean up this page.

That's wrong, you get no bonus

At least that's what I heard..
But I'm also assuming you get that information from other people.
So we're even

SOStar means that the items stats are similar to those 5 lvls above it.
SoMoon means that the items stats are similr to those of items 10 lvls above it.
SoSun is the highest of the SoX at stats similar to 15 lvls above the item.

No, sostar is just an item is a +5 stat bonus, meaning, if I hav a lvl 32 sostar, it's equivalent or slightly better than a lvl 32+5

Som is around +7 to above +10

Sosun is +15

SoS = SOS = Seal of Star. I don't care what size the "o" is. The only way to abbreviate seal of sun is sosun/SoSun/SOSun.

Why are you saying what he said is wrong, then jsut repeating what he said exatly

Farming = like grinding ie trying to lvl up
ticket = golden/silver ticket exp scroll, used when its active ie "my ticket is up"

Now put em all together into normal, chillin convo

for example, a typical Avalanche1 convo:

"Zomfg, man, I was AFK on me Char, and this bot, was ks' ering me mofo mobs, coz he was a int user, imbueing like crazy, and he was such a noob coz his lvl was sooo low. The mobs ganged him and I ended up rofl'ing. I ended up crit'ing all those mobs with my uber crit 12 gliave fast fast. Expecially coz of my DE - I need to grind fast IMO, because I need to pvp this guy who has a som, WTF!!!"

I will change that eventually. I had heard that from people when I first started playing the game and it stuck with me ever since. Unfortunately I cannot prove whether this is true or not because I cannot afford a full set of SoS clothes.

I just call it "Sun"....
