5.Whats in Ch'in tombs?
6.Whats the meaning of life?

1. Each time your character levels up you can level the mastery of your weapon and force tree(s) (granted you have enough Skill Points aka SP)

2. a "gap" is the difference between your character's level and your mastery's highest level. For example say I am level 15, my Bicheon mastery is lvl 12 and Fire is lvl 9.. my gap is 3. Gapping is for players who want to earn more SP. The higher your gap the less Exp and more SP you will gain.

3. SoS means Seal of Star, there is also Seal of Moon and Seal of Sun. These items can only be found in stalls in town or as a drop from a mob. I guess its kind of like an Epic in wow.. They have mega stats compared to normal items and are pretty expensive as well.

4. After you've completed the tutorial quest its time to grind! Visit this map here to determine what monsters you need to fight that are your level. Once you level up, new quests become available, a golden scroll will appear at the top left corner under the mini-map, click that and it will tell you the name of the quest, and the npc to get it from. Or you can visit the quest guide here.

5. Currently inside the Chi'in Tombs there are mobs around lvl 8/9. Also at the very back of the tomb there will be another cave implemented later on. It's not there yet but one day we'll get the update. A hyungcheon guards the back of the cave so beware.. its a lvl 30 mob!

6. The meaning of life is to level and build your character according to your style of play and hopefully kick some mob butt or kick some player butt in pvp. Also once you get to lvl 20 you get to jobbing

That's when the fun begins!!

And yes we can bring you into SuddenDeath

I suggest u go to the guides and tutorials section in the forums, choose a build and then follow it, or go online and experiment and find the one u like.

Lvl gap is the balance system in SRO. Basically the closer ur skill masteries are to ur lvl (eg ur lvl 20 and ur skill masteries, eg bichion and fire, r lvl 20) ull get more Xp and sp. However if they are lower (eg ur lvl 20 and ur skill masteires are @ lvl 15) ull get more SP than xp. When ur in noob lvls, it might not seem that u wont get enuff SP, but once u reach mid 2X (or higher depending on build) u will need the sp. Gaps work from no gap to 9 lvl gap. If u go above 9 lvl gap, then that mastery "wont count".

SOS=unique. They basically equal (roughly) Seal of star= +5, (+7 2 npc items) Seal of moon +10 (+11 to npc drops) and Seal of sun is +15.

grind 2 ur lvl...and do the quests that pop up in the quest icon every time u lvl up...

Ch'in tomb is a dungeon for lvl 100 plus ppl, it hasnt been released yet in Ksro even, which means that it will come out on iSRO sometime when cars start flying, and the Covenant call Humans herectics and try 2 destroy the earth (sry saw the e3 stuff on halo3;rly excited :p). Theres another thread on the first pics, use da search tab

)

Life is to get prepared for the next life, due to karma

first of all, dont join Olympus, gold bots are EVERYWHERE
i started a new character and everytime i move up to a higher mob i have been spending about 20-30mins trying to find a spot where there arent 3-5 goldbots/mob, still have to put up with one or 2
plus Olympus seems to be crowded 24/7 now, pick a server that goes populated in the evening hours (North American time)

Ok, more questions.. Sorry for all the questions

You said i should pick spear or sword/shield... does it matter which or is there 1 I should pick?
Why do people keep randomly inviting me to groups?
When do i get a horsie and how much does it cost? Running is so slow

Anyone tired of my questions yet?

It's up to you which weapon you ultimately chose but I'll try to explain the advantages to each as I see them... Spear has the highest magical attack so it makes sense for a hybrid INT to use a Spear as they lack some magical power and can afford to tank and don't need a shield as much. Sword & Shield is better for pure INT characters, you'll have low hp and need a shield for defense.

You keep getting invited to parties by bots, unfortunately

But you can turn off your party invites by pressing ESC, click options, click the "Set Game" tab and at the bottom right you should see an option for Allow Party Invite.. uncheck that box and from now on all party invites will be denied automatically.

You can purchase horsies from the stable but cannot use them until you reach level 10. Not sure of the price lol.

Feel free to keep asking questions.. trust me the game is pretty in depth and I know I needed help when I first started hehe. Talk to ya soon!

red horse (lvl 10) is 1200 gold each. Note that evry time u get off the horse disapears and u can only summon a horse in between 20 seconds of combat.
Blade and glavie is str based, sword and spear is int based. Bow is just...bow based :p
