Part 1. The hidden scheme of Osiris

Ever since the founding of Alexandria, Osiris has been brewing a malicious plan to take over Silkroad and control it by himself. His first act started by sending Sphinx to lure man with treasures in exchange for answers to his riddles.

The men who were not able to answer the sphinx riddles were
killed and their bodies are transformed to monsters to be a part of Osiris’s dark Army.

And now that he needs to gather more minions for his evil plan, He has unleashed more of his Sphinx Minions to wreck havoc among the Silkroad residents and start his invasion.

Now it is up to the mighty Silkroad adventurers to Unite and stop Osiris and cleanse Silkroad of his evil minion, the Sphinx.

I knew about the sp rewards from ksro, but I'm just glad Joymax finally officially announced it as well. I'm currently trying to get to lvl 4 thief. I really hope I'll get there before next Tuesday

Want me to help you?

Lol at the winners reward. 20% sp increase for 6 hours over the course of a week. *yay*

does this mean tht if i get lvl 2 on any job before the update i get 10k sp? or is it only after the job update i get lvl 2 at any job and my compensation is 10k sp

10k* And IIRC you are force to choose a new job after this update and you will be compensated for the lvl you are on your current job. So yes, get to lvl 2 before the update and you get 10k sp I think.

Did update finish?Cause i'm still getting Cannot connect thingy.

wut? I just left my hunter job lv5 last week to join thief guild. WTH, why didn't they announce this 1 week earlier?

That's what ima do

hahaha lameeeee

They announced rise of the hunter/thief thing over a week ago, and people have already been saying the whole job level/sp thing. Less QQ more pew pew.

Looks like jobbing will be the most active before the next Legend when ppl try to lvl their jobs for sp.
