3. New Upgrader Scroll System
An ''Alternative'' grind-based upgrade system for controlled SOX progression. Originally suggested by the community on Discord #game-suggestion channel, accepted by administration and shaped by community poll = end result as below:
Intended Update: NPC +9 > Nova > Soa > Som
After Polls/Feedback: NPC +9 > Nova > Soa (No SOA > SOM Upgrade)
SOA > SOM Upgraders may be available in the future (after 2-4 weeks, no ETA, no guarantee).
- Upgrader Scroll Types:
- Weapon/Shield Upgrader (Tradeable + Untradeable versions)
- Gear/Accessory Upgrader (Tradeable + Untradeable versions)
Weapon & Shield Upgrader Scroll
- Requirement: +9 or higher (adv/non-adv doesn’t matter, checks current plus).
- Compatible: NPC / Nova weapons & shields.
- Upgrade path: NPC → Nova → SOA
- Result is a completely clean next-tier item (0% stat, no blues, no adv, no sockets, default skin/glow).
- Note: Item stats / blues / sockets / plus / skin / glow will be removed during upgrade.
Gear & Accessory Upgrader Scroll
- Requirement: +8 or higher (adv/non-adv doesn’t matter, checks current plus).
- Compatible: NPC / Nova / SOA gear & accessories.
- Upgrade path: NPC → Nova → SOA
- Result: Clean next-tier item (0% stat, no blues, no adv, no sockets).
How to get Upgrader Scrolls
You can choose between Gold, Silk, FreeSilk. Scrolls available in all methods.
- Electus Shop (Item section): Tradeable versions added.
- Item Mall: Tradeable versions added.
-
FreeSilk Shop (Expendables): Untradeable versions added.
Admin Note:Since upgrade scrolls completely reset an item (including Plus, Advanced attributes, sockets, etc.), the upgrade system will remain a partial and limited method of progression. As a result, upgrades will account for only a minor portion of the total Nova–SOA supply on the server.Monster drops, FGW, and Dungeon rewards will continue to be the primary sources, collectively providing at least 95%+ of all SOX items.
Expected Nova-SOA Supply;
90% : Monster Drops
6-7% : Play-to-Win Case (Explained in the next patch note)
3-4% : Upgraded Items -
A reminder for the SOX Values;
NPC +4 = Nova +2 = SOA +1 = SOM +0
The difference between each sox is tiny - specifically to keep the game balanced between top-players and lower-geared players providing a long-term playable environment.
Would you upgrade your +9 Nova with 61-80 stats, advanced elixir on it, sockets applied → to a completely clean SOA item? Just for +1 difference? You probably wouldn't. That's how majority will think. Which proves → NOVA-SOA supply will not be inflated by ugprade system → it's only an optional method for those who want to use it.
4. Play-to-Win Case Update
Box system redesigned to better reflect effort-based rewards.
We brought BOX System into Silkroad 7 years ago, then removed it in the name of ''More PvE based'' meta - later to figure out Dungeons and Quests are becoming ''useless'' if there're no proper rewards in there. So now, we're activating a Play-to-Win case (like Diamond Boxes in the past) - with lower rate and limited amounts → SOX still remains heavily drop based and partially quest/dungeon based so your quest/dungeon progress doesn't feel like no reward at all.
-
Added Play-to-Win Case to 2 PvE quests (Godsend & JobCase Hunting)
1. JobCave (Sandman Mobkill) quest reward changed from Christmas Giftbox to Play-to-Win case.
Mobkill amount increased from 200 → 500 accordingly to reward boost.
Increased mob spawns in the room. Added extra PvE coins in this quest.
2. Removed 2% nova drop from last unique in Godsend Dungeon. Added Play-to-Win case to Godsend Dungeon quest.
-
Play-to-Win Case;
Success Rate → 5% (There'll be 1 SOX reward per 20 players completing the quest, limiting the total supply to avoid inflation).
Items: Nova 85% Ratio, SOA 15% Ratio. - Limit: 1 time/day.
5. Advanced Elixirs
Added Play-to-win progress on Advanced Elixir B Type. Details below.
-
Added 2 new tokens: Fragment A and Fragment B.
The only way to obtain those fragments is to complete 2 quests.
Fragment A. = Daily Hunting Quest
Fragment B. = Forgotten World Quest
Keep completing these quests → farm fragments → purchase Advanced Elixir B from Grinder's Shop.
Lazy for quests? You can bet in Magic Pop for Advanced Elixirs.
Too broke for Magic Pop? Farm Gold & PvE-PvP Coins and purchase them from Electus Shop.
Total of 3 ways to obtain Advanced Elixirs based on your own preference.
Advanced B Elixirs are one of the most valuable items in the game - and obviously it's not going to be like complete 2 quests → obtain Adv. B Elixir... It's more like a ''progressive'' way to farm fragments → Collect Adv. B. Elixirs for your set in the long run. No payments required. Just stay active → keep doing the quests.
6. World, Quest & Class Adjustments
Spawn Improvements
- Ice Temple & Job Cave Sandman spawns improved (more mobs per point + faster respawn + better spread).
Map Cleanup
- Removed monsters from Dead Ravine, Samarkand Gate, and Samarkand Amphitheater.
Cleric
- Holy Spell buff duration increased to 60 minutes.
Others
- Roc INT HP reduced by 25%.
- Reduced Premium DMG Absorption from 15% to 10%.
7. Long-Awaited Electus Mobile App
I bet, this is going to be community's new favorite. A brand new mobile application. A loot better than the old app.
When it's coming out? In less than 1 week - I hope. Maintaining the server + weekly updates + progress on the application been rough but recently we've been focusing on it and it's completely done, only work left is to submit it to Google & App Store, which is a little dramatic and time-taking but it'll be there soon!
This new application will allow you;
- To see your character location, If your character is online, If server is online
- Chat with guildmates, Chat with active users on the application
- See your rankings (Elo, K/D, Silk, FreeSilk, Battle Pass status + more)
- All Discord announcements are visible on the app instantly.
- Activate alarms for selected events (If you activate for example Survival Solo alarm, you'll receive a mobile notifications 5 minutes in advance.)
- See all server rankings live
- Make alchemy (Quick app alchemy for fun → earn app points → use app points to play ''Free-Spin'' → earn silk, titles, exclusive visuals etc.
Thank you for the continued feedback and support.
This update is part of our long-term plan to keep Electus fair, rewarding, and competitive.
Now, let's dive into week 7!
