New Job System.
Aren't you bored playing the same job system again and again? I know the old job system is good, it reminds you of the good old times of Silkroad but enough is enough! Don't you want to try something new? How long can Silkroad survive if all the servers are all pretty much the same? So forget the old job system in Shiroi the newest and most updated job system is available! So let's talk about it, trading is largely divided into three categories Job activities, consignment, and target trading. You can choose between 2 jobs Hunter or Thief, Traders are completely removed!
1. Selecting a Job.
Only a Job is available per account. When one character chooses a Job, other characters on the same account automatically assume the same. Selecting a Job does not have Job level requirement, which is applied when you equip a Job outfit If you wish to change the current Job, you can speak with the Job NPC in a town to terminate the current Job. You can choose a job from the character selection screen.
• Important and Awesome.
If one job union has 10% or higher difference in players, the Job with the higher ratio cannot be selected. This is more than brilliant as it keeps the server really balanced. We all wanted something simillar at least we can finally have this enabled in these files!
• Hunter.
This Job protects caravan NPCs from the Thieves who seek to disrupt their trading and steal their goods.
• Thief.
Thieves rob goods from caravans and hunt down Hunters to gain profit.
2. Job Promoting.
Promotion is carried out in a total of 4 stages, and special effects can be obtained for each stage. Promotion can be attained through job NPCs. You can be promoted to the next stage if you reach the required Job level and provide a certain amount of Gold and Shining Stones. If a player does not apply for promotion, the player will not level up.
3. Job Mode.
Except for the regular mode now there is also a job mode where you also need to level your character at level 100. To level your character in job mode you can complete job activities (quests) oo kill mobs & uniques (like in the regular way). While in job mode all experience gained will only increase your job level number. Reaching a high job level is more than needed as you unlock skills, job items and stuff like these. Keep in mind that you may notice your job level getting stuck at some level. This happens because you need to promote your rank (from the Trader NPC - > Promote) in order to continue leveling!
Note: The job exp you can't gain killing mobs
4. Job Suits.
Hunters and Thieves can purchase Job suits from their respective Job NPCs. You must wear a Job suit before engaging in Job activities and trading.

6. Job Items.
While jobbing there will be a new set of items where you will need to gather except your main set since they are increasing your character strength a lot by increasing your physical & magical defense or attack. You can get all job items from crafting.
To see your job items, open your inventory then go to avatar slots and then click once again to see the job items slots!
7. Job Vehicles (Pets).
Job quests or trading requires transport vehicles, which are classified as pets for trade activities and pets for trading.

Caravan Pipe(Required job level - 71): Summons a level 80 job pet upon usage.

8. Jobbing.
• Job Activities.
Quests which are available to raise the Job level, these quests grant the player Job EXP upon completion. You can receive them by speaking with Trader NPCs. They are mainly associated with trading or thieving activities. A 'Safe Mode' is also available to protect the player from higher-level players. In this mode, you are protected from attacks by other characters whose level is higher than yours by 5 or more. However, keep in mind that you cannot do consignment and target trading in Safe Mode.
• Consignment.
So this is a new feature which makes jobbing a lot more active. All you need to do is:
1. Farm specialty boxes from monsters (all monsters can drop these boxes even Mangyangs). You have more chances to drop specialty boxes while wearing your job suit.
2. After collecting boxes you can invest them (give them) to any NPC. Once 1.000 specialty boxes have been invested from all players Consignment event will start. If thieves reached 1.000 specialty boxes thieves consignment will start if hunters reach 1.000 hunters consignment will start. A notice will appear informing you about this and telling you from which town consignment will start.
3. Once this happens an automatic trade will start from a randomly selected town going to Hotan. Thieves can take town hunter's consignment and the opposite. So if your job's union consignment starts you need to go defend it, if the enemy job union's consignment starts you need to take it down. If a consignment is taken down none will take profit from it, if it succeeds all players who invested specialty boxes will gain profit depending on their investment (the more you invested the higher profit you will have).
• Target Trading.
This is the common trade system you all know about by which the character directly loads and sells specialty goods, gaining great profit upon a successful trade. To start Target Trading your character must have reached level 20. To begin a target trading, the player speaks to the right NPC (called Trader) in each town to register for target trading. The only difference is that the system tells you where to go (You can only start from Jangan, Donwhang, Samarkand & Constantinople). Nothing to be confused about Target Trading it is just the common job system you all know about.
9. Job Rewards.
• Stones.
When a Hunter or Thief succeeds in a trade, he will get as many stones as the trade goods successfully traded. Hunters get blue stones and thieves black stones.
I am a hunter and can only earn blue stones, how I am supposed to find black stones? Well, all you need to do is trade them with thieves. Everyone will need both stones to craft so it won't be that hard to find a thief to trade them with.
You will need both black and blue stones to craft Shining Stones.
• Pearls.
Pearls can only be gained from target trading compared to the stones where players can obtain them both from Consignment and target trading. Hunters gain blue Pearls and thieves gain black pearls. So in order to get both, you have to deal with thieves to sell or trade black pearls to you.
Pearls & Stones are used in crafting job items (Stones are used for crafting the job item itself and pearls for crafting magic runes & the job item recipes which are needed to craft job items).
10. Goods.
• Trade Goods.
These goods are necessary for Job Quests. They can only be stored in the inventory of the transport vehicle summoned with a Job skill.
• Specialty Goods.
Goods required for consignment and target trading. As a regular mode, these goods can be obtained by hunting monsters (all monsters). While in a Job Mode, these can be obtained by hunting monsters or attacking the caravans of the opposing Job. Once obtained, these goods are stored in the Specialty Goods Sack, to be traded via transport vehicles exclusive to consignment and target trading.
Important note: You have to learn the trader sack ability from the skills tab (Job mastery) so your pet can obtain specialty goods.
11. Job Titles.
A new and very interesting title system. Players can get job ranks (titles) by killing players which belong to the enemy job union. Titles represent rankings so you can check the top jobbers from their titles!
