Competition between Jobs

Understanding of competition between Jobs
In Silkroad Online, two kinds of Jobs come into conflict necessarily while undertaking trade activities. Each Job has its own set of advantages, according to which the player can freely choose a Job that is best suited for him/her.
Hunter
This Job protects caravan NPCs from the Thieves who seek to disrupt their trading and bring down the Thieves’ smuggling operations.
Thief
Thieves do evil deeds with no consideration for others. They ambush merchants in trading, rob theire goods and smuggle them to gain profit.
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.
You don’t have to select a Job if you wish to choose a Job later or do not want to select one.
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. Upon termination of the current Job, all Job-related information is initialized.

* If the Job-to-Job ratio(accounts) is 10% or higher different, a Job with higher ratio can not be selected. It is not, however, applied up to the minimum number of players(100 players).
