All about Monkeys.

Post by Calmwind »

Me and a few friends are conflicted as to then the clock is ticking on a monkey in SRO. Can someone please clarify.

Is the time constantly elapsing no matter the circumstace, online or offline, summoned or unsummoned. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the information. Can someone please elaborate on the following point:

Does the monkey time elapse when you are online, but the monkey is not summoned?


If the answer is yes, then what is the point of the unsummon feature?

Thank you, you're time is surely appreciated in regard to this question.

No, the time does not elapse when it is not summoned only when summoned and when offline or online.

Yes even if you unsummon your monkey time is still used.

The reason you can unsummon a monkey is to transfer it to a different character FROM the same account. There you can have 3 characters in 1 account and have the same monkey for all 3. You just need to deposit it in the storage and pick it up with the character you like to use it with.

hi,
I own one and once u summon clock starts ticking no matter what summoned or unsummoned clock is ticking so basically u can mark the 28th day from whn u summoned ur monkey on the calender and that it. Bye bye monkey.

2 questions;

1. If the monkey's time is over, can you use the clock a week later or so to let him live again?

2. Does the put-in-storage-idea work too with a gold ticket?

You know thats a very good question.. What exactly does that extention clock do.. Can it beused on "dead" monkey scroll or do you have to use it before the monkey time expires. Also how long does the clock extent the monkeys lifespan?


Thank you for bringing that up! Any feedback is sincerely appreciated.

NOT SURE

Post by dodgy777 »

But on my monkey thread i read someone say basically revival clock adds up to ur existing time so say if u have 10 days left then
Monkey Life = 10+ 27 =37 days. But i myself dont know contact me after 25 days lol.
as for the other question now u got me thinking to its like the call from the ring "7 DAYS...7 DAYS..." now i m just curious too will my monkey die or get revived man i want it to revive when i am higher lvl. oh boy..

Another note, you can load multiple extension clocks to your monkey, I had mine good for 90 days at one time.

I am still unclear on two issues so cn someone please give a very clear and direct answer.

a) how much time does each clock add
b) can you use a clock after the monkey scroll expires or does th monkey scroll dissapear in which case youd have to buy a new monkey altogether?

Your help will definetly brings a smile to someones eyes. =)

a.)4 weeks (28days)
b.)if the monkey time expires, you can use a clock to revive it even if it expired for 1 week already( or longer) just be sure to remove your items from your monkey inventory before the timer runs out, or else those items will stay with your monkey.

Thats wonderful, so I only have to buy the actual monkey one time? I was thinking it was gonna run me 88 silk per month, but now i can renew it every month for just 48 silk. Man you brought a tear to my (extremely tired) eye. Thanks!

That's nice, cause i'll have my monkey soon, and then i'll go on a deserved vacation. i'll just remove everything out of my monkey, put it in store, buy a clock and GO! When i come back, i'll use my clock, and Mojo is back again! Whee! I won't have to buy another monkey!

1)Yes you can use clock anytime during or after monkey is around... If it expired you can still use ticket and all ur stuff in the monkey will still be there

2)When you use a gold ticket, the item disappears... You can only transfer between storage when you HAVEN'T used it meaning it's still a consumable glowing gold hand....

*Personally I'd just buy the Gold Ticket on the Char I wanna use it on....

You know the items and gold monsters drop? It picks it up for you so you can save time and grind faster.

I dont use it because I sometimes get bored of silkroad and will not waste 10$ on something that will go away whether I use it or not.
