Patch Notes

Everything that changed on SoulRO, newest first. Short, honest and complete — the way a changelog should be.

July 2026

Poring Coin System & the Dice Event

Event

A new server-wide currency: every monster kill has a small chance to drop a Poring Coin, and the Disguise Event (5 per win) and Find the Mushroom (4 per kill) hand out more. Spend them with Lydia in Prontera across three categories — scrolls & potions, utility & rare boxes, and a Prestige tier of pure-cosmetic Poring gear with no stat bonuses, so the shop never becomes a power shortcut.

Joining the automated event rotation: the Dice Event. Every odd hour, register with the Dice Master in Prontera (minimum four players) and survive round after round of box-picking — miss the Dice Master's roll and you're eliminated. From round four onward, SoulRO trivia questions replace the dice. The last player standing wins 75 Poring Coins, delivered by mail.

Economy tuning: 5x drops & pricier resets

Balance

Two economy adjustments to match SoulRO's low-rate philosophy as the population grows:

  • Item drops raised from 3x to 5x (common, healing, usable and equipment — including boss/MVP-map variants). Boss/MVP cards and MVP-exclusive drops stay at 1x on purpose. SoulRO is now 5x/5x/5x across Base EXP, Job EXP and drops.
  • Reset Girl prices raised to 1,000,000z stat reset / 1,000,000z skill reset / 1,850,000z for both (cheaper than separately). Your very first reset per character is still free.

Hall of Fame, Support Terminal & Hunting Board

Feature

Three new town-wide systems went live:

  • Hall of Fame — five Top 10 leaderboards (Base Level, by Class, Monster Hunters, MVP Hunters, PvP Kills) in six towns.
  • Support Terminal — in-game "I'm Stuck" warp, ticket creation and tracking, FAQ & rules, plus a GM review queue.
  • Hunting Board — eight rotating hunt missions across four level tiers in Prontera, Zeny/EXP only, 24-hour cooldown.

Explore-to-unlock Warper

Feature

The Warper now starts almost empty — destinations appear only after your account has reached them on foot at least once. Until then the entry reads [Locked].

  • Unlocks are account-wide: your alts inherit your discovered map.
  • Guild castles, dungeon events and instances are always available — wars and parties are never blocked.
  • 64 Renewal-only destinations removed from the Warper — the list is pure Pre-Renewal.

World Explorer achievements

Feature

Four new achievement tiers reward discovering Midgard on foot:

  • 10 locations — First Steps
  • 50 locations — Pathfinder
  • 150 locations — Cartographer
  • 333 locations — World Explorer, with a golden server-wide announcement

Custom Rebirth — the Prestige system

Endgame

Transcendent is no longer the finish line. The Job Master now offers up to five Custom Rebirth cycles after your first official rebirth.

  • Each cycle: +2x EXP (base & job) and +12 bonus stat points — up to 15x EXP and +60 stats at full prestige.
  • A unique prestige title per cycle; the EXP boost is permanent and silent (reapplied on login).
  • Classes without a Transcendent path get their own Custom Rebirth entry.

June 2026

The Soul Priestess

Quality of Life

One graceful NPC replaces the crowd of healers and buffers: free heal, heal with buffs, or the full blessing package. Her persistent auto mode remembers your choice per character — walk past her and she takes care of you, no menu required.

Event scheduler & weekend Cluckers

Event

A custom scheduler now runs the event calendar automatically — no GM required.

  • Cluckers takes over town every Saturday and Sunday.
  • Disguise and Find the Mushroom rotate through the week.
  • War of Emperium runs on standard timers; the PvP arena is always open.

Player commands for everyone

Quality of Life

Every player now has access to the comfort commands from level 1 — no VIP tiers:

  • @autoloot, @noks, @showexp, @rates, @storage
  • @home warps to your save point — it deliberately replaces @go: fast travel belongs to the Warper you've earned.
  • @autotrade works in towns only, so vending shops gather where players actually are.

May 2026

Quality-of-life NPCs open their doors

Quality of Life
  • Warper — fast travel (soon to become explore-to-unlock).
  • Job Master — change jobs the moment you qualify; 3rd and 4th classes are disabled.
  • Stylist — hair styles, colors and cloth dyes.
  • Reset Girl — stat reset 50,000z, skill reset 50,000z, both 90,000z.
  • Item Mall — convenience and cosmetics, no pay-to-win.

Soul Smith Aurin & the Soul Circlet

Feature

A custom quest line arrives: find Soul Smith Aurin, earn his trust and gather what he asks for. The reward is the Soul Circlet — a unique headgear granting +1 to all stats.

Spring 2026

SoulRO is born

Announcement

The project starts on a clean rAthena core in classic Pre-Renewal mode with a modern 2020 client.

  • Rates locked at 5x Base / 5x Job / 3x Quest, item drops 3x, normal cards 2x.
  • MVP cards, boss cards and treasure stay at 1x — rare stays rare. That's the promise.
  • All customizations are built upgrade-safe alongside the engine, so the server stays current with rAthena fixes.
