Patch notes

From the road

What changed, newest first — open the full log for everything before. The launcher patches you automatically: start it, let it finish, play.

Balance update · Coming soon

Tuned after the first days on the road

Uniques pay double — for the level 130 cap, world uniques pay twice the honor and twice the Elements of Destruction. Jewels stay as they are.
Tougher caravans — the Hunter's caravan and the Thief's merchant pipe hold about a third more HP; the biggest takes 1,230,512.
Sharper thief tips — the Trade tab tells the thieves who heard about a trade when it was raided (and how many goods were taken), lost (its goods vanished from the ground) or completed, and in which town. 4- and 5-star trades are tipped again after a ferry, tunnel or flying-ship crossing.
Thieves call for backup — a thief who has a trader's loaded caravan in sight shows up on the other thieves' minimap and world map, so they can join the hunt, until he loses sight of it or dies. A thief carrying stolen goods never shows up, and traders never see thieves on the map — the trader is only told when he is being tracked.
Pick pets — can only be traded, sold in a stall, dropped or put in guild storage with an empty inventory.
Riding a Fellow pet — attacks on the pet you ride now hit you. The pet itself still can't die.
One character without VIP per PC — with any VIP rank, Bronze and up, there is no limit.

4 October 2026

Shambhala opens its gates

A first look at Shambhala — the temples of the latest official expansion are walkable now. The Mortifying Monk in the Taklamakan takes you to the Ice and Fire Temple, the Ancient Prophet in Hotan and Baghdad to the Temple of Destruction. It is quiet for now. It will not stay that way.
Stat totals — hover an item and a box beside the tooltip adds up its repeated blue options. The socket box no longer jumps to the other side.
Titles like official iSRO — no more brackets, bonus titles in orange.
Bigger stacks — runes, wheels and Max Enhancers up to 1,000. Resurrection scrolls and the honor Berserker potion: 1-second cooldown. Items on the ground vanish after 30 seconds.
Monthly honor reset — unspent honor resets on the 1st; the game reminds you on the 15th and the last day. Party arena team mates keep their real names.
Golden Shield (VIP mall) — gives a +12 Degree 15 shield the gold +15 glow, to match your weapon.

29 September 2026 · The big update

The big update — and a new home

A new server machine with much faster disks. The game now connects to sro.r3spect.win — the launcher patches your client to it automatically, no reinstall. Fresh installs get the new installer from your profile.
The Survival Arena is open around the clock — Last Man Standing, Deathmatch and Party arenas (2v2, 4v4, 8v8), all paying Honor. The Battle Arena pays Honor now too, instead of arena coins.
Crest titles — Justice, Protection, Charge and Courage, up to +10% damage, earned with this month's arena honor.
The Valor — your profile on L, and your own banners. The season's top three fly theirs on the town gates of Hotan, Jangan and Constantinople.
Every existing Fellow pet raised to level 130, and the R3 Starter Pack now levels your Fellow with you. New Purchase Pet Buffs shop.
Sound, finally fixed — the volume sliders work over their whole range (quiet is quiet, not silent or full blast), effects no longer cut out when turned down, music is no longer full volume at the low end, and effect and environment volume are kept after a restart.
Gori's Equipment Exchange now takes wheeled armour and it keeps its blues.
HP and MP Recovery Grains at the potion merchant in every town.
Fellow pets: summoning sickness after death 10 s (was 30), STR/INT buff cooldown 30 s (was 300), and the SROR Macro's Summon Trigger and Resurrect work for the Fellow even while your pick pet or horse is out.
Your own buffs survive death and teleport; the Gold honor buff shows its gold sword; the Recovery skill tree no longer crashes the game.
A new launcher look with rotating artwork and working Discord and Website buttons, a transparent start-up splash, and the R3SPECT logo at login.

21 September 2026

The R3 Starter Pack

Every new character finds a red gift box in the bag. Open it, confirm, and you get the level cap, job cap, 15M SP, 10B gold and a 109-slot inventory.
The R3 Store gained a Sockets tab — the twelve socket stones that really drop in the game.
Fixed: buying D15 armour at the R3 Store no longer hands you a weapon.

20 September 2026

The whole mall, free

Every listing in the item mall costs 0 silk. Up to 999 per purchase, delivered to your Item Storage box in full stacks.
Alchemy items from the mall are account-bound — share them between your own characters freely.
Fixed: "Item Mall and a survey cannot be used at the same time".

18 September 2026

DDoS-protected hosting

The server moved to a dedicated machine in the EU with DDoS protection. Same characters, same items — a faster, steadier road.

The Silk Road

Trade, guard, steal

Remember loading a caravan in Jangan, hoping nobody saw you leave town? It's back. Buy goods, take them across the Silk Road and sell them far away. Hunters ride beside you, thieves wait on the road, and every part of it pays honor — no stones, no coins.

Hunter suit · trade caravan

The Trader

Summon your caravan and visit the Specialty Trader of any of the six towns. Each good costs 1 honor, and a caravan carries 33. The fuller the load, the higher its trade rating, up to five stars.

Drive it to a specialty trader in another town and press Sell All. The farther the goods travelled, the more they pay. And once a day the merchant hands you a free load.

Hunter suit · the escort

The Hunter

Join a trader's party and ride with the caravan as its guard. Be at their side when they sell and you earn 30% of the sale on top. It never comes out of the trader's share.

If an ambush brings the caravan down, fight for its goods. Whatever a hunter picks up goes straight back into the trader's caravan. Hunters and thieves fight without PK penalty.

Thief suit · the ambush

The Thief

Every caravan on the road is fair game. Select one and you see what it carries — caravans with goods the den wants carry a gold sigil only thieves can see. Bring it down, load the goods onto your own transport and run for Thief Town.

The Bandit Den Return Scroll (1 honor at any Smuggler) takes 60 seconds to cast, so survive the hunters first. The Stolen Goods Dealer pays your stake back plus 60% of the city route.

The long road pays

Honor per good

Both directions pay the same. A full caravan costs 33 honor, and each specialty trader shows the rates beside the shop.

Route	Per good	Full caravan
Alexandria ⇄ Jangan	6.64	about 219
Constantinople ⇄ Donwhang	5.57	about 184
Hotan ⇄ Constantinople	4.53	about 149
Samarkand ⇄ Constantinople	3.02	about 100
Donwhang ⇄ Hotan	2.14	about 71

Constantinople ⇄ Jangan	6.37	about 210
Donwhang ⇄ Alexandria	6.13	about 202
Hotan ⇄ Alexandria	5.10	about 168
Samarkand ⇄ Jangan	4.53	about 149
Donwhang ⇄ Samarkand	4.01	about 132
Alexandria ⇄ Samarkand	3.64	about 120
Hotan ⇄ Jangan	3.02	about 100
Hotan ⇄ Samarkand	2.87	about 95
Jangan ⇄ Donwhang	1.88	about 62
Constantinople ⇄ Alexandria	1.51	about 50

Where the goods go

The town workshops

Every town has a workshop that needs four goods from far-away towns. Deliver them and it turns them into Elements of Destruction, sold for 1 honor each in the R3 Store in Hotan.

A good the workshop is running short of pays up to 1.5 times its route — the panel beside the merchant and your caravan shows where your load is wanted most.

When a caravan falls, its goods stay on the ground for 10 minutes and the run goes on: pick them up again and they still pay.

Trade in detail How the economy works

World uniques

Built for a maxed-out server

The uniques were made for players far below today's cap, so they went down in seconds. Not any more. They now stand up to fully geared characters: they hit hard, call in elite guards as their health falls, and bringing one down takes a team.

The ladder

Each one harder than the last

Tiger Girl · Cerberus · Captain Ivy · Uruchi · Isyutaru · Lord Yarkan · Demon Shaitan · Kidemonas · Karkadann · Merikh

Tiger Girl is a fight for a small group. By Merikh you will want several parties. Pull one too far from home and it walks back with its health intact.

The reward

The whole team is paid

Honor for every party that really fought, split by the damage each one did and shared equally inside the party.
Elements of Destruction and Sabakun's jewels drop on the ground — more from the stronger bosses.
Unique honor counts toward your crest title, just like arena honor.

The great bosses

Back in power

Names every Silkroad player knows, each famous in its own cap, brought back to full strength so they are never an easy task again.

Together, as always

Roc & Death Bone

The second strongest pair in the world.

The gate on Mt. Roc opens every 12 minutes. Break the seal stones and the Roc comes down from the sky; beat the Roc and Death Bone rises. One group at a time.

A group event

BeakYung the White Viper

Among the top powerhouses of R3.

Medusa of the Qin-Shi Tomb. Get past the guardians, the Flame Master and the trial gates, and she is waiting in her chamber. Bring a group, a big one.

Hunters & thieves only

The gods of the Job Temple

Always open — to anyone in a job suit.

Selket, Neith, Anubis and Isis, then Haroeris — and when Haroeris falls, Seth's room opens. No points to collect, no faction lock: hunters and thieves fight side by side.

The Temple of Destruction

Awakening Death Bone

The strongest of them all.

The Reckless Big Spider, the Devil of Lamp and Hell Khulood guard the newest temple. When the last of the three falls, the Awakening Death Bone rises.

Every boss, level and reward

Survival Arena · Open around the clock

Step into the ring

Sign up at the Survival Arena Manager any time. One queue, three ways to fight, and the map grows with the crowd — eight players fill the Colosseum, a full house of 32 takes the Palace.

Every player for themselves

Last Man Standing

One life. One winner.

Outlast everyone. Opponents are masked as "Challenger" and a live panel shows who is still standing. Your placing pays, and the top four earn extra for every kill.

Ten minutes, no mercy

Deathmatch

Fall, rise, fight again.

Ten minutes, and you revive after every death. Placing goes by kills — most kills when the clock runs out takes it, and the whole server hears about it.

Party

2v2 · 4v4 · 8v8

Bring your friends — they keep their real names. Best of five rounds, up to five minutes each.

The queue

30 seconds to sign up

Each new sign-up adds another 30 seconds — twice at most, so never more than a minute and a half. Solo matches need 8 players to pay honor.

The rules

A fair fight

No stealth or invisibility. Berserk only in Deathmatch and Party. Warlock reflect is off in Last Man Standing and Deathmatch.

Honor per match

What a fight pays

Arena	Taking part	Placing / result	Kills
Last Man Standing	1	1st +20 · 2nd–3rd +12 · 4th +8	top 4: +2 each
Deathmatch	3	1st +25 · 2nd–3rd +14 · 4th +9	+1 per 4
Party 2v2	—	win 15 · loss 0	+1 per 2
Party 4v4	—	about 30 win · 9 loss	+1 per 2
Party 8v8	—	about 38 win · 11 loss	+1 per 2
Battle Arena	3	win 35 · loss 8 · draw 15	+1 per 4

Bigger solo matches pay more: +10% for every full 8 players above 8. In party arenas both teams earn kill points, and half points carry to your next party match. The Battle Arena pays Honor now, not arena coins.

Crest titles

Earned by pace

Title	Bonus	Honor / day	By day 30
Justice	+3% damage	50	1,500
Protection	+5% damage	100	3,000
Charge	+7% damage	200	6,000
Courage	+10% damage	300	9,000

Titles count the arena honor you earn this month, Survival and Battle Arena together. The requirement rises every day; the best title you reach stays until the month ends. On the 1st a new season starts — you keep last month's title until you earn a new one. The Hall of Fame keeps twelve seasons.

Honor you hold (C tab) resets on the 1st of every month — spend it. It sets your Honor Rank at the Storage Keeper and its buff — Copper, Silver, Gold or Crown, kept through death and teleport — and pays for the honor shop: scrolls, potions and summon flowers.

The Valor · Live

Fly your own colours

Your Valor profile opens with L: your portrait, your name, and two banners of your own design. Finish the season in the top three and your banners hang on the town gates for everyone to see.

The gates

Hotan for the champion

Honor rank #1 flies in Hotan, #2 in Jangan, #3 in Constantinople — on the gate poles, not the fortress flags. Guild crests stay the guild's.

Two shapes

Cut for you, or your own

Server shape cuts your picture into a banner: a curved top and a swallowtail. Own shape shows it exactly as you drew it — your own tabs around the pole, your own tail.

The wind

It moves

The cloth sways in a light breeze, catches a gust now and then, and whips harder when it rains.

Banner guide

Draw your own banner

Everything you need for an own-shape banner — three zones, one canvas, no guesswork.

01 · The canvas

72 × 216, top to bottom

A PNG at a 1 : 3 ratio (width : height). Transparency comes from the PNG's alpha channel.

Zone	Rows	Height
Above the bar	0–2	0–1.4%
Bar / wrap	3–13	1.4–6.5%
Cloth	14–215	6.5–100%

The top 6.5% of the height is the tab zone. The bar covers the full width, so each tab can sit anywhere along it.

02 · Working large

Design big, export exact

Work at any size with a 1 : 3 ratio — whole multiples keep every line exact.

Size	Above	Bar	Cloth
72 × 216	0–3	3–14	14
288 × 864	0–12	12–56	56
576 × 1728	0–24	24–112	112
720 × 2160	0–30	30–140	140

Export at exactly 72 × 216. The game never resizes a large image — anything bigger is cropped from the top centre, so a 720 × 2160 file would show only its top-centre corner. The one exception: art of 24 × 72 or smaller is enlarged ×3.

03 · Design tips

Make it hang right

Tabs — draw your loops across rows 0–13 (the top 6.5%) with transparent gaps between them. Opaque pixels wrap around the bar; the bar shows through the gaps.
Tail — any shape: pointed, swallowtail, fringe, torn. Everything transparent shows the world behind.
Wind — the cloth sways below the bar and moves more towards the bottom; the tab zone stays still.
L window — your profile shows the banner at a third of its size (24 × 72), fading out the top ~14% and bottom ~17%. The tabs won't show there — that's intentional.

Files & registration

From your folder to the gate

Put Banner\<CharacterName>_1.png (left cloth) and _2.png (right cloth) in the Banner folder inside your Silkroad folder — the patch creates it, with a short README.
The file name must be your exact character name — Asteria01_1.png will not be found for a character called Asteria. The easy way: Banner\banner_1.png and banner_2.png work for every character on your PC.
Register at the Survival Arena Manager with Register Banner (own shape). Both banners use the same choice.
To change a banner, choose Remove Banner, then register again — there is a 30-second wait between changes.
Only honor ranks #1–#3 appear on the Hotan, Jangan and Constantinople gates; every registered banner shows in the L window.

For comparison

Server shape

Use the same 72 × 216 canvas and just draw the design. Most art is 72 × 153, with the bottom left transparent.

The server cuts a small arc across the top and a V tail from row 153 (71%) down, and hangs the banner from the middle of the bar.

Leave the top ~4% free of detail — the arc cuts into it.

VIP ranks

Wear the badge

A badge beside your name and a rank buff in your bar from the moment you log in, plus the VIP shelf in the item mall. One rank per account; it runs to the 1st of next month.

Upgrading mid-month costs only the difference. No auto-renew — nothing is charged unless you buy it.
New in the VIP mall: the Golden Shield gives a +12 Degree 15 shield the gold +15 glow.
Gold VIP or higher is needed to trade, drop, stall-sell or guild-store equipment, Elements and Sabakun's jewels.
