Especially at the lower level quest you will notice a difference. The high level quests give more EXP at less mobs, but not more gold or skill experience points. Egypt quests did not change at all.

  2. The Tomb quests are still pretty low on XP relative to the effort needed to complete them. On kSRO, some people just grab parties in Chasers 85/87 and skip to Egypt parties on 101/102 mobs.

  3. ehm ehm, i know you are working hard to translate other stuff, however i am really curious onto the promises of changes in legend X with china and party system and all those other stuff. you were great to get us the other information about the other stuff, but really curious differences in legend X that would make china and euro more balanced.

  4. I wonder if they put it to ISRO, but I dont think so. There is amount of bot users, so they dont need this changes.

  5. For skill changes on kSRO legend X, look at http://silkroadsecrets.blogspot.com/2010/07/skill-changes-of-legend-x.html
    Note: The euro skill changes with bless spell were only applied on jSRO! Holy spell got 50% probability on kSRO, but 100% in jSRO.

    The 4/4 party gives now a 10% EXP bonus.
