What Makes Merv Online Special
Merv Online is more than a standard Silkroad server. Here is everything we changed or added - explained in detail, sorted by category.
Fair Play & Economy
Nobody buys power here.
No Pay-to-Win
The Item Mall sells cosmetic and convenience items only. There is no Premium, no Devil's Spirit and no other item that boosts your stats or combat power. Donating never gives you an advantage in a fight.
One Character Online Per IP
Only one character may be played per IP address at a time. This keeps the economy and the rankings clean and limits botting.
Free Silk Instead of Shopping
Silk is not just something you buy - you can earn it by playing. See Silk & Rewards and Uniques below.
Silk & Rewards
Earn Silk just by playing.
Silk for Unique Kills
Every time you land the kill on one of the 6 Uniques, free Silk is credited to your account automatically - no ticket, no claim, no purchase.
Vote for Silk
Use the "Vote for Merv Online" button on the home page to support the server. For each vote click you receive 1 Silk, once every 12 hours per account.
Uniques
Six world bosses, custom loot and Silk for every kill.
Six Uniques in the China Region
All world bosses have been relocated into the China region, so every one of them lies on the road to level 80. Each Unique has a loot table made for this server:
- 100% Elixir drops - every Unique always drops elixirs.
- Random Seal of Star / Moon / Sun gear - a chance at powerful sealed equipment.
Silk Reward per Unique
| Unique | Location | Silk |
|---|---|---|
| Tigergirl | Tiger Mountain | 3 |
| Cerberus | Tiger Mountain | 3 |
| Uruchi | Tarmin Basin | 5 |
| Captain Ivy | Tarmin Basin | 5 |
| Isyataru | Karakoram | 7 |
| Lord Yarkan | Taklamakan | 10 |
Leveling & Progression
Less waiting, more fighting.
x3 Experience, Level Cap 80
Classic x3 experience rates with a level cap of 80 - fast enough to respect your time, slow enough to stay meaningful.
Base Speed Boost
Every character has a built-in movement speed boost from level 1. Less time running along the Silk Road, more time fighting.
Fast Respawns
Field monsters respawn much faster than in the original game, so hunting grounds stay populated and you spend your time fighting instead of waiting.
Auto-Progression
Optional automation for stat points and mastery/skill training, so you do not have to spend points manually after every level-up.
- Stat points are distributed automatically.
- Mastery levels and skills are trained along a sensible per-mastery skill tree.
- Switch it on or off per character in the Characters overview after logging in.
Classes & Skills
Tuned skills and buffs for China.
Extended China Buffs
All Chinese self-buffs last one full day instead of a few minutes - including the force auras, Gongup and movement skills. No more re-buffing every few minutes while you grind.
Snow Shield Lasts Its Full Cooldown
The Chinese Snow Shield now lasts as long as its cooldown, so you can level with Snow Shield permanently active. In PvP this gives no advantage: the cooldown itself stays original, so you cannot keep it up between fights.
Improved Force Debuff (China)
The last debuff of the Chinese Force mastery has been improved. It now applies Stun, Impotent and Division at once - originally it only applied Impotent.
Boosted Weapon Passives (China)
The passive buffs of every Chinese weapon mastery - Bicheon, Pacheon and Heuksal - have been strengthened and now grant additional damage and defense.
| Level | Phy / Mag Atk | Phy / Mag Def |
|---|---|---|
| 10 - 60 | +1% | +10 |
| 70 & 80 | +2% | +20 |
Up to 4 Masteries for Chinese Characters
Chinese characters are not limited to the usual mastery selection and can learn skills from up to 4 masteries, which allows far more flexible builds.
China & Europe Together
Both Chinese and European characters start in Jangan and play in the same world. European characters can use the full gear range, with armor requirements following the mastery level like in the original game.
World & Items
One compact world with everything you need.
One Compact World
The whole journey takes place in the China region: Jangan, Donwhang and Hotan are your hubs, with the Uniques waiting along the road to level 80.
Complete Gear in Town
The blacksmiths in the towns sell weapons, armor and jewelry for both Chinese and European characters, including the Wizard staff and Cleric harp. The Hotan blacksmith sells the Degree 6-8 range.
Elixirs & Stones Stack to 50
Intensifying Elixirs (weapon, shield, armor and accessory) as well as Stones can be stacked up to 50 per slot, so your inventory does not fill up while enhancing gear.
Increased Drop Rates
Equipment from monsters level 41-80 as well as Intensifying Elixirs and Stones drop more often than on a standard server, so gearing up and enhancing takes less grinding.
Improved Reinforce Chances
Enhancing your gear is more forgiving here: the success chances for reinforcing items have been improved across all steps.
Silverclad & Goldclad Horses
The Silverclad Horse (Level 70) and the Goldclad Horse (Level 80) are available from the Stable Masters in Jangan, Donwhang and Hotan, so you can keep riding in style on the way to the endgame.
Convenience
Small things that save you time.
Auto-Equip
When a better item for your character drops or lands in your inventory, it can be equipped automatically.
- Checks level and, for European armor, the required mastery level.
- Triggered when you pick up an item.
- Toggle per character in the Characters overview.
Auto-Equip is currently limited to a test phase and temporarily switched off for regular accounts while we make it fully stable.
