[edit] Equipment
There are several types of equipment/items on Silkroad. Most items are normal in the sense that they possess only regular properties. These items can also be called "clean" or "white" items, due their lack of special bonuses. Other items can have special properties that boost a specific statistic, including "blue" items, as the item's name is shown in blue.
There are three special ranks that equipment, accessory, and weapons can have: Seal of Star (SOS), Seal of Moon (SOM), and Seal of Sun (SUN/SOSUN). Each increases the item's statistics so it is similar to an item of higher level. Normal Seal equipment cannot be made, and can only be obtained as a drop from mobs, no mobs in particular have a high Seal of Star/Moon/Sun (x) drop rate. Furthermore, Seal of (x) items are only the first level of each set. Each set has 3 "Tiers", by example the 8th set has 3 swords, levels being 64, 68, and 72, Seal of x is only possible at the first of these tiers, 64 in my example. A further benefit of possessing a Seal item is when a player attempts to increase the weapons "+"(plus) enchantment through the use of alchemy by elixirs. An item that is "+ed" a certain amount of times and fails does not affect the Seal item's original + enchantment level. This trait makes a Seal item all the more desirable to players, since its even more easy to make even more powerful. Obtaining a Seal item through the use of purchasing through a player stall or trading from a player is extremely expensive. This is because normally players of the game set the Seal items at a price of 1000 to a 10000 times of a similar item in level of NPC quality. Despite this, many players still purchase these Seal items, simply because of their incredible power.
Another type of seals, which are somewhat easier to obtain yet do not differ in power, only in level, are "Honor Seal of Star/Moon/Sun (x)", these come at different levels around the first tier of a set, again they come in 3 types. Honor Seal of Star (HSOS), Honor Seal of Moon (HSOM), and Honor Seal of Sun (HSUN/HSOSUN). The only way to obtain these weapons is via the academy system, lower level players can register at a higher level players academy, and upon reaching, the higher level player receives honor points for these graduates. The number of honor points received depends on when the lower player joined and how he rates the higher levels help in the game (like answering questions concerning anything in-game related). The maximum number of honor points one graduate can give is 31 (players joining after 31 will not give honor points). Even a "simple" Honor Seal of Star however, requires tens to hundreds graduates (depending on its level), making it still quite a challenge to obtain such an item, however trying to gain a Seal weapon this way makes sure you'll eventually get one, not alike grinding and hoping for a Seal of x drop.

[edit] Pets
You can own many different types of pets.
In order to use, you must be at least level 5 to be able to summon a Growth or Ability pet, level 10 for a vehicle pet and 20 for a transport pet. You may have a growth pet simultaneously summoned with an ability pet, a vehicle and a transport, but you can't summon simultaneously more than one ability, growth, vehicle or transport pets. There is a trick to summoning two growth pets at once. You may summon two grey wolves if you summon them at exactly the same moment.
Of the growth pets, only the grey wolf can be bought in game by paying with gold and these may be bought and sold between chars. Some vehicle and transports as well. The rest can only be bought only through Item Mall (F10) by paying with silk. Pets that are bought through Item Mall can't be sold or transfered to another player. If you have more than one character in a server on the same account, you can transfer your item mall pets from one character to another by leaving the pet in your storage.
