Big Alchemy Guide
First off, alchemy is a very complex process it takes a lot of time and effort to
even get a decent understanding let alone rite a guide on it. Hopefully this guide will
make your alchemy experience more enjoyable.
Elixirs

Elixirs are the original alchemy before all of the tablets came into existence and all
the elements, their were elixirs. Now what an elixir is, is an item that can be used

to make another item better. Ever see items with +1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 on them? Most of
the time those come from Elixirs. Elixirs come in several different varieties, Shield,
protector, accessory, and the most coveted of them all the Weapon elixir. Depending on
the type of elixir you get will let you enhance a item of that type. To do this the
you must first acquire the elixir then acquire the item you wish to enhance. after
gathering these materials you open up the alchemy window and click on the att.Enhance
tab. Then put the corresponding items into the slot and click combine. To increase
your chances of success use a lucky powder witch can be acquired from the grocery trader.

NOTE: The elixir may fail and you will end up with nothing or if the item is all ready +'d
you can lower its +.

Breaking down items

You can break down virtually any item you find in the game. certain items that when dropped
look like Large bags have but one purpose and that is to be broken down into smaller
elements. Breaking down items requires a destroyer rondo witch can be bought at the grocery
vendor for 500g. To break down items that came from the Large bags, use Void rondos witch
can be purchased for 20G at the grocery vendor.

NOTE: Breaking down a normal item for example a sword will not necessarily yield high end or
vast amounts of elements.

NOTE: Breaking down a SOS or SOM item does not yield more elements than a normal element

Elements

Elements come in four different flavors water, earth, fire, and wind. Their are also different
levels of elements ranging from 1 to 4 from what i have discovered. Elements main uses are to
combine with tablets witch will be explained later to create stones witch can add attributes or
change them on items. Also it is very profitable to sell elements i have made over 40 million
gold doing this. To make money just sell every element at 1000g each set up a stall in Donwang
and go to sleep. If you plan to use the elements to make stones from tablets it is best to
stockpile them and have about 400 of each type and degree.

Tablets

Tablets combine with elements to create stones. You will find tablets while adventuring they
will look like odd shaped round things. Their are different types of tablets ruby, emerald, and
sapphire. Ruby tablets effect the stats already on the item and will reset the stat and re roll
a new one. Emerald tablets will add new attributes to your items. sapphire tablets create
items i have little experience with them since they are very rare. Tablet come in degrees
you can tell their degree by the little roman numeral in the corner of their picture. You
can only use the same degree of tablet on the same degree of weapon. Here is a list of all
the tablets i have acquired and found so far.

Warrior= physical reinforce
dodging= protectors parry ratio
training= accessory physical absorb
ming= shields and protector magic defense
life= shields and protectors physical enforce
flesh= shields and protectors physical defense power
focus= weapons attack rating
fire= accessories fiery damage resist
stamina= head chest leg protector add HP
fogs=accessories ice resistance
immunity= accessories poison resistance
magic= head, chest, leg increase MP

revival= accessories increase zombie resistance
STR= increase Strength
prayer= accessories magical absorption

more to come......

Stones

Stones are created by combining tablets and the elements they require. They can add
attributes or reset and re roll attributes depending on the tablet that was use to create the
stone. To create a stone open up you alchemy window and insert the tablet then all the elements
required "these can be determined by placing you cursor over the tablet". You can not fail to
make a stone. After the stone is created to apply it to an item once again open up your alchemy
window and go to att.enchance tab. Once their you put the item you want en chanced and the stone in
and fuse them.

NOTE: while making the stone can not fail applying the stone to a item can fail.

SOS Items

SOS items come in three different style's, Seal of Sun, Seal of Star, and Seal of Moon.Seal of moon has the statistics of a weapon that is aproximetly ten levels above the items level requirement, Seal of sun has a fifteen level difference, and seal of star has a five level difference. So those are the category's of "Seal" items, and by now after just
reading that your thinking now where can I get my hands on one of those items or a full set? Well this may be bad news or awesome news, Silk road is not like other MMO's, where the awesome gear only comes from named mobs or super tough creature's. In Silk Road a"Seal" item can drop from ANY monster. It goes without saying that they are extremely rare,so are that in 60 levels I have never had a single one drop for me, where as I have friends that seem to get one every level. So now your probably wondering well I know how to get them and why their so special but what types of things are they? "Seal" items come in all forms
wether it be armor accessory or a weapon. By far the easiest way to get a "seal" itemis to purchase it from other players, a tip though is shop around get a feel for the prices on your server and don't buy the first thing you see. Make sure when shopping you look at allof the items other statistics, just because its a "seal" weapon doesn't mean its going to have
a large number for critical. Well by now you should all have a great understanding of the "Seal" items.

Skill Point Farming
This is a small skill point farming guide. I will explain the basics and how to do it but i wont have the exact numbers. The point of skill point farming is to save up enough skill points so that you can max all of your masteries and let you level faster. The way the EXP system works is you have two types of exp, normal exp and skill exp. Your skill masteries relate directly to your characters actual level. If your highest mastery is equivalent to actual level you will gain no skill point experience and all you exp will go to leveling exp. So to get the best of both worlds you have to SP farm, witch in essence means that your mastery level is 7-9 levels below your actual level. The best place to do Skill point farming is the bandit stronghold, it is best to start this at level 16 when you can kill the bandits and archers. Ok so here is the tedious part killing these bandits with your mastery levels this low. Do this till your level 20 then go to downwang and bind yourself their, walk outside the city and die till you get back to level 16 and start all over again. Yeah it is boring and takes forever but when you get about 20k Skill points you can stop and max your masteries and level extremely fast because all of your exp will be going towards leveling. I know its kind of hard to understand but skill point farming in general is complicated, send me PM if you need more help of have questions.
