Making a choice, need an expert opinion...

I'm fairly new to SRO, and after starting to play for a few days I decided to go into the forums and read-filling myself up with the whole Pure Int/Str, farming, grinding, jobbing Pv? and all the other SRO specifics. Now, to the point!! I'm at level 15 with a 2 gap bewteen highest mastery and EXP LvL. I have some skill points invested towards all different types weaponry, since as a new player I was unable to decide what to use and what to be overall,. Now I wish to incline myself towards Pur Str Glaive or S/S. THE QUESTION.!! is it to late for me to be Pure anything or should I start over?? will the invested SP points in other masteries that don't interest me anymore affect me in the future? or can I just leave them there and invest whatever else I earn into what I REALLY want to be.? tell me, continue or start over?

Just start over, lvl to lvl 15 isnt hard you can do that in a few days.

[caseyd4]

No your ok your very early in on the game and sp cost at those levels is not too much i would say first pick your weapon, then pick your skills around that and which imbue you want,

PS all the nonsense about Pure being best is going to be disproven when i reach lvl 90 in 2207 HYB Bow Light, Ice & FIRE FTW

[watcher305]

Alright, thanX both of you, and I dunno what's best of the two pures, but I just wanna be one thing or the other, not going grazie between mediocre Might and Magic. thanX guys.

At Level 20+, there's a quest that you can take, where you'll be able to delevel your Skills for 80% of the SP back, just for a little bit of money. That way, even if your Bicheon is Level 10, and your Pacheon is Level 20, and your Heuksal is 13, you can delevel all 10 Levels of Bicheon, all 20 Levels of Pacheon, and put all the points into Heuksal, as soon as you hit Level 20.

All you have to do is collect Curst Hearts, after you've accepted the quests, and they drop like normal drops from any mob that you're grinding on. As long as you've put all your STAT Points into STR, there's no problem with you continuing down the road to be a Pure STR Glavier.

Note that you said Pure STR Glavier, OR S/S. Sword/Shield is normally a INT-Based build, while a Glavier is STR-Based. They're pretty much on opposite ends of the spectrum, so you have to pick one or the other - there's no happy medium between the two.

Basically this is how it works if you didn't know already

Pure int do good in PvE
Pure str do good in PvP

But I agree, starting over would be a lot easier. I can get to 16 with the silver ticket you start with. So it won't be hard.

Well First Decision is Weapon .. What do you want to play with ? For me it breaks down like this

Galvie/Blade Nice Dmg good all round gameplay looks cool and owns in mob fights or when fighting a Giant spawn from a unique also can usually tank mobs way higher level Chains are best move in game.

Spear/Sword basically a nuker all the way nothing happening until level 30 and people ten to use blade or galvie before then once fully nuclear change to it then, but the nukes are pretty. I guess if you like them.

Bow strongest hits of all the weapons very hard to get your char build right but also most rewarding, also most expensive with the bow the most exp weapon also the use of pots is huge as you have no block like the galvie/ shield.

Then you start thinking of your Imbue skills once you decide

Quite a few mistakes. First of all, Blade does not have nice damage- a Blader is the weakest character in the game. However, it's also the strongest Tanker. Any STR-Based Build's damage isn't as good, overall, as an INT-Based, but it's Critical is much higher, also considering that Nukes don't Crit.

I've never heard of an INT-Based Build using a Blade or Glavie up until they get their Nukes, either. Since they're INT-Based, even without the Nukes, they'll be dealing more damage with a S/S, or a Spear, rather than a B/S, or Glavie, due to the S/S and Spear's higher Magical Attack.

Also, how are Chains the best moves in the game? The Bicheon Chains may be the flashiest, but I've never heard of any build winning any PvP with a Chain - it's always done either with a KD or a Stun, most of the times. KD for Bicheon, and Stun for Heuksal. Chains are usually just used for PvE, and while it's used quite often in PvE for Bladers, some Glaviers don't even use it for PvE at all, considering how fast it runs down your durability.

Bows aren't the strongest-hitting of all weapons. They just, on the average, do more with a Critical, and have a higher chance to do so, thanks to the Critical stack on the Anti-Devil Bow Series. They also aren't the most expensive weapons in the game - you're generalizing about the Level 16 Bow, and that's only because it's an ideal farming weapon. The pot usage for a Bowman is often less, because of the fact that they're long-ranged, and kill monsters before the mob even reaches them.

Bows are most Exp, Chains Look Cool which is what i was Referring to, Yes I dont know it all But it is a very simplified answer, not ment to bore him like th e Tutorials that take half a day to read ¬

Are you referring to my Guide?

Bows are not the most expensive weapons in the game - it's true that the Level 16 SoX bows are more expensive than another weapon's SoX equivalent, but after Level 42 or so, the cost evens out.

[caseyd4]

The cost of SOS evens out on all weapons above level 42 agreed but i still find Bows more expsensive in general with out sos say with blue or +, my own personal eperience thats all. And no im not referring to your guide in particular just Guides as a General.

Really? I never realized that. I always found +'d Glavies and Blades more expensive, TBH.

TBH Mate the Eldorado server prices are a bit of a joke, a bit of a joke server too tbh But I love my char even after being scammed when drunk, im fighting on and setting a new goal.... LVL 7 hunter 20% Lvl1 so far

L7 Hunter? Good luck getting to that. I think you already know this, but the current Cap for Hunters right now is at L5. Not that I've even seen anybody get up to there. You're going to need to kill, literally, billions of Thieves to get to there. So good luck, man. Take a SS for us when you get there.

Me? I prefer Thieving - TBH, I'm a bit of an asshole when I thief. I put on a sexy Thief suit, change my weapon to a Spear, and then use Nukes against Level 30 traders that are gutsy enough to go more than 1 star (I don't do any of that 1* popping shit). They think I'm some sort of a noob, due to my low damage with my Nukes (I'm a Pure STR Glavier), and they come up to attack me. Then, I just whip out my Glavie, and SSS-them. OHKO.

[watcher305]

Alright, so I'll pick a good Glaive and continue to as STR and widen the gap (wich I only have at 2 right now) and as soon I get to LvL 20 I'll do that thing to reset some of the unNeeded skills that I have and invest the earning towards Bacheon is it? (Glaive and spear skills) right now I've distributed the INT and SRT evenly (wich is why I was considering to start over and go pure with one of them in the first place), but we'll see what happens. just don't wanna continue with this one if later on I'm gonna end up with a bad character just becasue I didn't place ALL into SRT or INT from the very begginning... thanX a lot guys.
