Introduction

Hello and Welcome! I am excited and pleased our latest and finest work so far called "Amethyst Online" It has been a long and fun journey to create Amethyst, we have dedicated most of our free time to this project. I will and can assure you that once you start playing on our server, you will never need to switch between servers again! We are and will always improve this project and actively update it.

 

We are here to offer you the game you all have been wanting to see for a very long time. I believe that no server has truly had the Old School feeling that we all have been so eager to see. Amethyst is here to fulfill what others haven't been able to do, we have actively sought after the perfect balance between Old School & New Features.

 

Amethyst gives you the taste of Old School completely without missing on the new stuff. It has been the most important and challenging part of creating Amethyst as our primary goal is to give you the taste of Old School without missing too much on the fun and new things. It has that slight touch between being fully Old School and at the same time fun to play in the long run.

 

The Crew Of Amethyst;

 

Shine; 21 Years old

I will start by introducing myself, I have always been interested in games before, especially before I started to learn how to code. Silkroad has been the main game that I have played through the years however I have enjoyed coding just a bit more than playing.

 

I started to code thanks to Silkroad, I soon started to love coding more than anything else, the love I have for these two things gave me the motivation to create something perfect called Amethyst.

 

I am here after 10 years of actively coding, as said earlier I have learned coding in order to do something for Silkroad. I am now studying Computer Engineering at one of the best universities in the world (top 100). I have a coding experience of 10 years and have been actively coding for other games too.

 

Iwa; 19 Years old

 

Iwa was the guy I met thanks to Silkroad, he also started coding for Silkroad and I've helped him a lot by the years and now after 6 years I can say that hes almost better than me, his passion for this game and coding is admirable. Iwa is our network manager, he is very professional at what hes doing.

 

Diplo; 21 Years old

Diplo is our Database Admin. He and I go to the same university, he has been our motivation factor for Amethyst as Iwa and I were working to create the perfect EMU which we released a few months ago to start on Amethyst.

 

Mirin: 18 Years old

 

He currently holds the responsibility for in game support, support over the thread / forum support. He also is also responsible for the marketing of Amethyst Online. He will give support in Swedish, English and Turkish!

New Features on Amethyts

 

 

Job Arena

Job Arena is a scheduled event like Battle Arena, when register period is open you must register the event from Event So-ok.When Job Arena period is started, you will be teleported to Job Arena. In this Arena you can gain job points which you later can buy sun items (details below this).Also, there is a neat feature; there is a live scoreboard where you can see best ten traders/hunter or thief while Job War.

 

Achievement System

We are proud to announce this feature.This system works like quest, but there is no need to take any quest from any NPC.When you completed the mission written in the description, you will be rewarded with its reward title and item.You can collect titles and change your title anytime you want! You can access Achievement Window with pressing 'J', or you can click the icon located in Action Window.

 

 

VoIP System

In Amethyst when you are joined to a party, you can talk with other party members with our integrated VoIP feature. We think it will help you a lot while Fortress War!

 

I am proud to tell that we are working with TeamSpeak on this feature, we have a TS3 license that was given to us by TeamSpeak to support our work. Thanks to them we now have an integrated VoIP system ingame!

 

While you are in party you can connect to VoIP chat with typing '/voip on' to chat, to close you can type '/voip off' to chat. Don't worry we will add an UI soon!

 

Survival Arena System

We are proud to announce our unique feature Survival Arena! This system is similar to the ISRO one. When Survival Arena queue period has started, you can queue up by talking to Event So-ok. When a match is found and it suits to you (calculated with elo point), you will be teleported to the arena.

There are two types of Survival Arena:

 

1. Individual - 8 People / Last Man Standing
   
2. Party - 8vs8 / Last Party Standing
   

 

Gift Box System

We are proud to announce our unique feature called Gift Box.Once you click on the Gift Box, you will be rewarded with a random item. You can gain Gift Boxes from the Survival Arena or in-game events.

There are four types of Gift Boxes:

 

 

1. Special Gift Box which you can get special items
   
2. Bronze Gift Box which you can get simple unique items
   
3. Silver Gift Box which you can get Avatar Shards or Special Items
   
4. Gold Gift Box which you can get Avatar Shards
   

Gift Silk System

In Amethyst there are two different types of Silk, Normal Silks which you can buy by donating, Gift Silk which you can gain from events or rankings. There is a small difference between them; you can't buy some of the Item Mall items with Gift Silks like Avatars or Charname Recolor Scroll but don't worry and keep reading; there are tons of items which you can buy with Gift Silk, those that you can't buy you can get them for free with our systems. We promise you that won't even feel the difference.

 

Avatar Shard System

Since you are not able to get Avatars with Gift Silk, we created their shards.You can get shards from Gift Boxes as We mentioned above at Gift Box System section.You need four different Essences to craft them.You can get Essences from Capture The Flag.

Quest Manager System

One of the most enjoyable things is completing quests, However we think that people are too lazy to find NPC's, obtain the quest, go back to the NPC and get a reward. Therefore we added a special NPC to all town gates. This npc has all quests that can be obtainable from the town. Have fun with completing quests!

 

 

Trade Rewards

When you complete a successful 5 Star trade or steal a 5 Star trade you and your party is rewarded with Silks. This reward is limited.You can get your silk reward from trading once per day.

Bandit Den Teleporters

We replaced the Bandit Den Scroll to Bandit Den Teleporters. For thieves, you must go the NPC to teleport to the Thief Town after you've stolen the goods from traders. Don't worry we added tons of Bandit Den Teleporters and their positions are calculated with classic Silkroad's trade routes

 

AFK System

When you are AFK for 5 minutes or more other players will see a bubble animation on your head

 

PvP Rank Animation

We are proud to announce our unique feature! While you are wearing PvP cape, you will have a unique animation based on your PvP Elo Point.

Clone World System

We added clones of Roc Mt. to powerlevel easily & without Killstealing.

There is:

• A Clone for only Chinese characters
  
• A Clone for only Europe characters
  
• A Clone for both Chinese & Europe players
  

And there is Orginal Roc Mt. for bot Chinese & Europe players also Demon Shaitan only spawns in the Orginal world. You can change your world with teleporters we placed in Roc Mt.

New Experience Distrubitions

We have adjusted the EXP's gained from monsters depending on your level, this is especially noticed between the levels of 80-90 where we have tripled the amount of EXP required to level up to add a slight challenge and joy to reach the maximum level. It shouldn't be too easy right?

 

 

 

Character Name Recolor Scrolls

In Amethyst, you can change your Character's name color! You can find the scrolls in Item Mall

 

 

 

Unique Monster System

We also changed damages of Unique Monsters. They are now dealing % damage based on your Max. HP except for Lord Yarkan and Demon Shaitan.

 

Random Silk Scroll

You can buy Random Silk Scrolls from the Special Shop located in Hotan with Gold. When you use the Silk Scroll you will gain a random silk amount based on your luck.

 

Sun System

We decreased Sun Drop ratio but you can still get Sun items (Character-bound) from Special Shop with Job Point but they have limited time period to use (2 Weeks). You can extend them with our Sun Extension Scrolls also they are buyable with Job Points.

 

 

Special Shop

This is the shop where you can buy Sun Items/Sun Extension Scrolls with your Job Point, Elements/Stones, Random Silk Scroll, Old Job Suits

 

 

Guild War Ranking

 

We think that Guild War is one of the most challenging and enjoying features of Silkroad, but Guild War's is not offering anything usable to the players. We decided to update Guild Wars so therefore we replaced Academy ranking with Guild war ranking. Rankings are now calculated by Win/Lose ratio. If a guild has a rank then all the members will have the same buffs.

 

Automatic Plus Notice

 

 

SoX System

We changed the stats of SoX items.

• Seal Of Star = 85 + 2
  
• Seal Of Moon = 85 + 4
  
• Seal Of Sun = 85 + 7
  

 

Elo Rating System

 

In Amethyst, all characters have three different Elo Points.

1. Job Elo Point
   
2. Survival Arena Elo Point
   
3. PvP Elo Point

Skill Balances

Here are the balance changes that we have done so far. I will add a bit more description later.

 

Europe Balances:

Warlock Tree

 

We have made these changes on the Warlock Tree as we believe them to be too strong. Warlock Characters should be played in a team rather than grinding solo; we believe that this is the best balance regarding Warlock players. They will not feel a difference when in a team play as their teammates will heal them.

 

General

 

• Warlock Overall Mana Consumption Increased
  
• Sleep Ability is removed from the Warlock Tree
  

Warlock Poisons now costs 10% of total HP to cast.

This change applies for both Enemy Characters and Enemy Monsters.

 

 

Warlock Diseases now costs 10% of total HP to cast

This change applies for both Enemy Characters and Enemy Monsters.

 

 

Warlock Traps now costs 10% of total HP to cast

 

Warlock Vampire Ability now costs 5% of total HP to cast

 

 

Cleric Tree

 

We believe that Cleric Tree is too strong since they can Heal their teammates and themselves without a punishment we decided to increase their Cooldowns and Mana Consumption. This will not affect the real gameplay of European characters as they are designed to play in parties.

 

General

 

• Cleric Overall Mana Consumption Increased & Cooldown Increased
  

 

Cleric Reserve oblation's Cooldown is increased to 60 seconds.

Cleric Reserve oblation's Physical & Magical Absorption ratio is decreased to 30%.

 

Cleric reverse immolation's Cooldown is increased to 60 seconds.

Cleric reverse immolation's Physical & Magical Absorption ratio is decreased to 35%.

 

 

 

Warrior Tree

 

We believe that Warrior currently have an unbalance on the stunning abilities, we have decided to reduce the stun time for warrior abilities without affecting the gameplay too much. The stun's are especially annoying when battling against Warrior/Rogue builds.

 

 

General

 

• Warrior skill screens reduced to 30 seconds.
  

 

Sprint Assault; Stun duration reduced to 3 seconds.

 

 

Rogue Tree

 

 

 

We have made this small change on the Rogue Tree as we believe them to be unpunishable with such a high damage. Therefore we decided to change the most important ability which is the Dagger Desperate.

 

 

General

 

Dagger Desperate can't be closed while being stunned now.

 

Chinese Balances:

Bichaeon

 

We decided to add 2 passives for Chinese Characters as we believe them to have individual problems this applies for both INT and STR Characters.

 

 

General

 

• 2 new individual passives for INT & STR Characters.
  
• Blade passive = only active when wearing blade, gives 10% phy dmg.
  
• Sword passive = only active when weaing sword, gives 10% phy def
  

 

 

Heuksal

 

We decided to add 2 passives for Chinese Characters as we believe them to have individual problems this applies for both INT and STR Characters.

 

 

General

 

• 2 new individual passives for INT & STR Characters.
  
• Glavie passive = only active when wearing glavie, gives 10% phy dmg
  
• Spear passive = only active when weaing spear, gives 10% phy def

• Pacheon => 1 passive 10% phy dmg, 10% phy def
