Noobie Trader Questions

Post by yunioracosta »

Hello fellow silk road players, I am a brand new player to this game I've been looking at guides and stuff and I chose to be a trader from level 20-40 as alot of people suggested.So I am about to go on my first trade run and I was wondering....

Can I pack up my horse with silk and then get off and he follow me right? and I can go as fast as i can and he won't die or dissapear as long as I pot him?

Also if i got from Jangan to Donwhang can I go from Donwhang to Jangan and do a trade like that back on forth or only from Jangan to donwhang? :shock:

Thank you for reading this =]

Can I pack up my horse with silk and then get off and he follow me right? and I can go as fast as i can and he won't die or dissapear as long as I pot him?he will always follow u unless u die or the horse dies and if he gets stuck bcs of the obstacle :wink:

Also if i got from Jangan to Donwhang can I go from Donwhang to Jangan and do a trade like that back on forth or only from Jangan to donwhang? no u can do any way u like :wink:
Be careful and good luck :wink: :P

Sorry to tell you this but you can't spawn another horse as that would be cheap (nice try though) and yes the npc thieves will start hitting you, depending on whos closer to the thief. But if your doing the trade alone you'll need to get off the horse anyway to kill the spawned thiefs

and you cant go faster than the horse will go, if you get too far you stop and wait for the horse
if you are too far from the horse the thiefs will be attacking it and soon you will have many thiefs kill it faster than you can heal it
so you have to be able to kill the thiefs
the trade horse is much slower then the one you ride
and you can do a trade run by yourself if you can keep your horse alive and keep the thiefs at a low number if you are careful
but it will not be easy because of the lvl of the mobs you must pass

Wouldn't hurt to wait until you're level 23-25, mobs will give you less trouble. And it can't be repeated enough - make sure it's only a one-star!

IIRC, don't bother trading from DW-Jangan as most servers have 20% tax in Jangan so your profit is less.

You can also go from Constantinople to Samarkand if you really want to, but that should probably wait until you hit level 30+.
If faith is a crutch, I'm not limping anymore.

True cos npc thiefs pisses u off enough and when there are mobs around that u cant kill from one hit u are dead, and like many ppl said before maybe you should get to higher lv and then make ur way to money world :D

Normally the NPC thieves are spawning behind your horse and will hit the horse not you if you are far enough.

A tactic is to run before the horse as far as possible and when thieves spawn you return and try to kill them and feed pots to your horse to keep it alive.

The biggest problem are the normal monsters, earth ghosts hit a lot but with enough pots you can do it. You can even do jan hotan trades at level 20 with a camel if you take enough pots for the camel.
