How much are you set back by never purchasing silk?

[Ezra]

How significant is the difference between one player who buys silk with real money and another who doesn't buy any silk?

[CobbZ]

If both play 3 hours a day, and one has a ticket, the one without will take twice as long to level as the other.

my favorite premium item is the pet (monkey bunny or squirrel)

these collect all the drops on the ground, yours and other players. Although it would be nice to have more options (i.e. ignore arrows), they greatly speed up the leveling process, especially if you are a ranged character (Chinese Nuker, Bow/Xbow, or Euro magic). They can also increase your gold-cash flow, so you can afford SOS equipment.

Like they said. Monkeys make it faster. Gold tickets make it 2x faster. Also, SP tickets make it so you gain sp at a higher rate. It just depends on how much more you play than the other. Ill say this though, silk = a lot of help.

the one who didnt pay would not have to face the frustration of paying and not getting proper service. you could get this same no-service for free.

i believe if you dont any silk, your lvling will basically come to a slow grind, as a med lvl [5x i believe] will require an insane amount of xp.

afterall, JM designed this game to encourage you to buy silk

dun reali agree that it takes ages to lvl without tix..

with a 0 gap..it takes only 2-3 days to level from 60-65 (well..i find it quite fast already..haha) of cause..it depends on how long you play each day..

not sure thou for higher lvls..but then..i do agree that with silk u will lvl alot faster..but wats the point of spending unnecessarily??hehe..

just my 2 cents..=P
