Future Silver Adjustments
Greetings, Saviors. It’s your dev team, here to talk about some changes that are being planned regarding the use of Silver in Tree of Savior. After the last Rank update, our game was affected by a Silver inflation that has been growing more and more severe as time goes by. For an economy-based MMORPG, inflation is one of the most telling signs of danger, which is why we need to look for ways to adjust the routes of Silver supply and consumption in TOS. Our plan to prevent this inflation from growing is to introduce new Silver-consuming content and revise current Silver systems. As far as the consumption of Silver is concerned, we want to steer away from adding Silver fees to features catered to the general player base. Instead, we’re looking to increase Silver consumption mostly through new higher-end content or growth/EXP-related functions. To put it in perspective, the measures we want to implement are less akin to increasing the price of public transportation, and more like raising taxes on luxury sports cars, for example. Our goal is to expand Silver consumption not on essential functions, but on optional ones. Some examples of game features through which you can expect increased Silver requirements would be the previously introduced Velcoffer Legend gear system, Lv 100 enhancement attribute bonuses, and future PvP content (which, by the way, is already being tested). So that’s our plan for adjusting Silver consumption. But what about the supply? Well, the supply of Silver as a whole is not a problem, but there is an issue with instanced dungeons. Up until Character Rank 8 (Lv 330), Castle Dungeon had a relatively higher degree of difficulty, and the Silver it generated wasn’t yet enough to escalate the supply up to alarming levels. In regular, level-adequate play environments, the Silver supply from instanced dungeons wasn’t excessive. With the arrival of Character Rank 9 (Lv 360), however, it became feasible for stronger characters to earn large amounts of Silver from Castle Dungeon a lot more easily. As many of you may have experienced, it is now possible for a party of one or two maximum level characters equipping decent gear to clear Castle Dungeon in only 3-4 minutes. This means that, not only are stronger characters making easy Silver, average characters can benefit from it as well by accompanying them in parties. Even a player with no significant combat investments can round up 220,000 Silver every 5 minutes for as many characters as they possess. That said, the fact that we didn’t add a new instanced dungeon adapted to Character Rank 9 was intentional. We wanted to scale down the role of instanced dungeons as the be-all, end-all of PvE gameplay, and lead players into regular fields and Hunting Grounds. That’s why we introduced the Challenge Mode, the Unique Raid Dungeon and better Hunting Grounds rewards. Being mostly disconnected from TOS’ storylines and scenarios, instanced dungeons were created to act not as staples of everyday gameplay, but as bonus content that helps you catch up to the latest Rank more conveniently (especially for new and returning players). Convenience was, after all, the reason why we moved all instanced dungeon entries to Klaipeda. What’s causing the problem we’re seeing now is that, while EXP gains vary according to your level, Silver is supplied in fixed amounts. That is why we came to apply Silver restrictions in instanced dungeons, similarly to what already happened with EXP. In the future, instanced dungeons will continue to serve as EXP/Silver boosts until the next highest Rank. As such, a Lv 330 dungeon will be added only when the maximum character level increases beyond the current Lv 360 (with the addition of Character Rank 10). That way, characters can quickly get to Rank 10 while earning a prescribed amount of Silver, but after reaching that maximum Rank, they’ll be encouraged to pursue EXP and currency gains through regular fields, quests, Hunting Grounds, and various challenges and raids. This means that, overall, the supply of Silver in instanced dungeons is expected to slow down. Besides these measures, we also have plans to increase the supply of Silver and goods in gameplay content that doesn’t contribute to inflation. We’re currently working towards reintroducing the old advancement quests as Class Master quests with Attribute Point rewards, and we want to expand the rewards of other existing quests with not only Silver but also Attribute Points and other useful assets. Finally, we realize the importance of protecting the value of Silver as the de facto in-game currency, while keeping in mind the balance between its production and consumption. Any new content or system changes that come out of this endeavor will be duly announced through our dev blog and the patch notes, so keep checking in for more updates. Thank you.

To the Astral Tower! Pt. 2
Greetings, Saviors! Now that General Lhamin has agreed not to interfere in the Resistance’s plans to take back the Astral Tower, the Ranger Master has started to send her own support troops out to the Starlit Lake.

The mission will only be successful if less than 20 soldiers become incapable of combat (if 20 or more soldiers do, you fail the mission). STEP 3.

A Real Wonder : Mystical Cube
Staff_Max : Hello everyone, this is Staff_Max who wasted spent 47 days (unlike Staff_Amy who only took 1 try) trying to get Practonium from the Mystical Cube. Today, I’m with the person in charge of designing that particular nightmare item. Could you please introduce yourself to the players? PrinceKen : Hello everyone, please call me PrinceKen. I hope you’ll forgive the somewhat sad mood I am in. It’s because spring is around the corner. Staff_Max : I would like to, on behalf of the players, complain ask about the Mystical box. Something that a lot of players are quite annoyed and angry curious about. PrinceKen : I think I can see what is coming, and I would like to use this opportunity to apologize in advance…. Staff_Max : Could you please tell us the reasoning behind setting the 24 hour cooldown period and the impossibly extremely low chance to get Practonium? PrinceKen : There are a few ways to get the best equipment for Rank 8 content. Most of it can be obtained from end-game content such as the Earth Tower. However, we wanted to give the players that can’t enjoy that content a way to catch up. That’s why the Mystical Cube was created. A way for players, with a bit of luck on their side, to catch up with hard-core players. However, since Practonium is a core ingredient for crafting some of the best equipment for Rank 8 content, we had to set it at really low chances so it wouldn’t trivialize the effort that the hard-core players put into clearing end-game content. Staff_Max : I see(Give me back my 47 days)…. What do you think about the inconveniences that the players are experiencing because of the short expiration time(5 hours) on the Unstable Cube which they get when they don’t get Practonium? PrinceKen : I do think that we need to tweak the current settings a bit in order to make it less inconvenient for the players. These are some things that we are currently considering. 1. The Mystical Cube can be located in the Cube section of a player’s inventory, while the Unstable Cube is in the Item section. We plan on making it so that they will always be in the Cube section 2. We are currently developing a warning UI that will tell you if an item is about to reach it’s expiration time. Staff_Max : I think such changes will be able to help many players from missing the expiration date. Thank you so much for agreeing to this interview. I hope that this Dev Blog will help answer some of the questions you all may have had about Mystical Cubes. How many days did it take for you to get your Practonium? You could brag or lament on how quickly/long it took for you to get it. I had to try 47 times(lucky that I’m not a gambling man). Also, please let us know what you would like to be discussed in such fashion. I’ll see if I can ask the devs for a short interview so I can share some insight into how Tree of Savior was made.
