Greetings, everyone!
I am glad to introduce Zerkroad Online, a new Silkroad private server. The aim is to provide a gaming experience that feels close to the original while adding a few changes to create a more balanced gameplay. It is important to note that the visual effects are all original. I guess there are many servers similar to this already out there, but thought we might try and put our own spin on it.

Skills
Many private servers aim to balance chinese and european characters, and most of them fail. Perfect balance is impossible to achieve anyways due to the inherent differences between the two races. Furthermore, almost any attempt leaves certain groups of players unhappy.
On Zerkroad, its not about balancing the chinese race, but rather making them more fun to play, while still keeping the original look and feel. This means that no skill effects were changed. Neither were new skills added or any skills removed. Of course, chinese characters had to be strengthened a little. But keep reading...
There is no extra damage or defense for any chinese skill. But then how exactly are they stronger? They are more usable now. Debuffs are a big part of Zerkroad, you will see later. The boring part of playing with chinese characters were that compared to europeans, they have few or no debuffs at all on low levels. So we brought the chinese debuffs and special abilities to their lower level skills to make them more competitive. Meanwhile, the european skills that reduce debuff probability are now somewhat weaker. See the details for each changed skill below.
Bicheon
Pretty simple, brought some debuffs from the higher level combo skills to lower levels as well. Also increased the probability a little.
Heuksal
Uniques
Uniques drop all kinds of useful items like Monster scrolls, Pandora Boxes, Berserk scrolls and a lot of others. Some uniques also drop Silk scrolls. Silk is not dropped if your character is more than 20 level higher than the Unique.
Quests
To make quests more appealing, almost all of them are now rewarded with Silk beside the default rewards.
Alchemy
There have been a few changes to make alchemy a litte easier and more exciting. Drop rate has been increased for alchemy tablets by an additional 10x. Stones require less elements to manufacture, and alchemy materials yield much more elements when disjointed. Stones also have 100% success rate. All other properties are original.
Academy
There are no changes to the academy system on Zerkroad, but there is an anti cheat system. It's common on all servers to farm academy graduates in order to increase one's academy rank and get the honor buffs and other benefits. But it's not doing any good for the community, and we think that apprentices should be real players. Our system detects cheating by looking for farm characters based on the
Botting
Botting is allowed on the server only in PvE. That means that the use of bots in PvP, Jobbing, Fortress War, Battle Arena, etc is forbidden. For example, using bots in Job Cave is only allowed against mobs, but when fighting other players, bots shall not be used.
Free Silk
Zerkroad is completely free to play, so we provide multiple ways of getting Free Silk. Uniques drop Silk scrolls as described in the Uniques section on this page. Almost all quests are rewarded with Silk in addition to their original rewards. Lastly, you can also get Free Silk each day by voting for our server on ranking sites
That's all there is to it, we think these changes mix things up a little while still maintaining the original look and feel of the old Silkroad that we all love. We hope to see you there soon!
Have a great day!
