Hey, some of you might not understand 0x33's 

 tutorial *neither did i but anyway's, I know how to and its quite easy
here am i in 9th
 
 
ok first off allllllllllll.. 
Make a backup file of ur Media.pk2 in ur silkroad directory 
you need to download this :
http://www.handshake.de/user/chmaas/del ... /xvi32.zip 
ok now open up the file xvi32.exe
once u opend go to 
File > Open > [Your silkroad directory] > Media.pk2
after u opend media.pk2 you go to 
Search > Replace > click on the box infront of 'Find' > Text string, and click as Unicode aswell, also on the right boddom of the Replace window click instead of Cursor on Begin like this :
 
ok now fill in the codes to get ur degree into the degree u want it to
weapon codes:
item\china\weapon\sword_XX.ddj 
item\china\weapon\bow_XX.ddj
item\china\weapon\spear_XX.ddj
item\china\weapon\blade_XX.ddj
item\china\weapon\tblade_XX.ddj (glavie)
item\china\shield\shield_XX.ddj
ok.. now u fill in the top 'Find' thing you just clicked on as in the image one of the weapon codes i just gave, this will be the degree u want to change to an other degree
and in the second 'Replace with' thing you just clicked on as in the image one you pute in the same weapon code as in the top one for the desired degree u wont
example:
Find:
item\china\weapon\sword_07.ddj  (7th degree sword)
Replace with:
item\china\weapon\sword_09.ddj (9th degree sword)
after u filled that in you click on 'Replace all'  and it will replace, you will get a screen with 12 occurences replaced
now do the same again but instead of .ddj  you fill in .bsr
quiet easy, but you just gotta know the .bsr / .ddj
For clothes these are the codes:
'
\clothes_XX   (garment)
\light_XX      (protector)
\heavy_XX     (armor)
do the same as what we just did with the weapons, but now u fill this in
*Remember* there is no .ddj / .bsr  needed with clothes
Example :
Find:
\clothes_07 (garment 7th degree)
Replace with:
\clothes_09 (garment 9th degree)
if you follow these steps its kinda easy 
 
I hope you succeed! 
REMEMBER ALWAYS BACK IT UP!
