ULTIMATE BEGINNER GUIDE

Your #1 priority should be:
FINISH MAIN QUEST.
I can not emphasize this enough. But let me try that again:
FINISH the effin' MAIN QUEST.


WHY?
You will be level 140+ once you finish that because it gives MILLIONS OF EXP in later chapters.

Spoiler: my screenshots

These aren't even the latest ones.

On being a beginner on Toram Online, these are the basic things you ought to know:
1. MERCENARY
2. DEPOSIT
3. CONSIGNMENT BOARD
4. LIBRARY

EXTRAS:
5. CORYN.CLUB
6. FOOD BUFF ON LAND
7. CHEAP BASIC OP EQUIPS
8. ORB/ AVATAR TICKETS/ REVIVE DROPLET
9. POTUM DARTS
10. TERMINOLOGIES


Alright, let's begin.


"I'm too weak for boss ;_;" if dis is u, you need mercenary mah friend.

FRIEND MERCENARY, YOUR VERY PAL TO LEVELING.
Open your toram account and try it now.
Menu > Community > Friends > Friend Mercenaries OR
Menu > Community > Guild > Guild Mercenaries

Get the highest ATK if possible. Tell me if you're done. Okay? Already done? That's fast. Yeah, you see that player? That's called mercenary. You need to know that people won't see you having that mercenary around and the owner himself won't know if you are using his mercenary. It's free and completely invisible to other players (except if you're both in the same party).

That's why add friends (if possible, strong looking ones). You don't have strong friend mercenary? Go look for a guild, you can hire your guild mate's mercenary there.
How to look for a guild? Shout in the chat "LF Guild!" There would be a cool looking icon under your name if you receive a guild invitation. Just click it and accept. Don't forget to be friendly to your guild mates and communicate. It's okay to ask for help but don't beg or ask help aaaaall the time. Learn to depend on yourself. Be a man!

MAIN QUEST "ONE-HIT THE BOSS" TIP:
Step #1: After you enter, ESCAPE.
Step #2: After escaping, click boss again then CHOOSE EASY MODE and enter.
Step #3: One hit the boss and done.

Defeat bosses easily with this method! (^u^)b


NOT ENOUGH SPACE ON YOUR BAG? You can always use your DEPOSIT. More spaces there just for you. Go to NPC Sololo now and check. Don't worry, every town like Sofya, El Scaro and Hora Diomedia has an NPC with a deposit on it.

Oh if there's a spammer on the chat that keeps saying free orbs with a link on it, don't go there if you value your account. You can just block him. How? Drag the chat box up, tap his name on the chat then Block.

HOW TO ADD FRIENDS?
Just click anyone in-game and click Add Friend. You both should be on the same world, same channel to meet up and be friends. If you're not on the same channel, you can add him through the method earlier via chat box. Make sure you're both on the same world tho. What's with the worlds? Are there different versions of each world? Lmao, nah. World servers are just like toram devs having three identical bags. Now if bag 1 is full, they can put players on bag 2. Gets? But if you're not in the same "bag" (same world), you can't meet each other.

A tip amigo, go to International World 1 if you feel like there's no players around. There's a LOT of players in there. Easy to get party. How? Menu > Terminal > Switch Channel > World.


CONSIGNMENT BOARD
You can sell the materials you earn (monster/boss drop) by selling them on the Consignment Board (or "CB" as everyone calls it). Other players that need the materials you put there for sale will buy it. This is your NUMBAH ONE way to earn spina like a boss. DON'T BEG FOR SPINA, DAMMIT.

How to know if the materials you got have any value? Well if you ask me, this is what I do:
1. Go to this SUPER HELPFUL SITE: CORYN.CLUB
2. Search for the material
3. Click "Used for".

If there is an item on the Used for, I sell.
If there's none, I discard or process on blacksmith which in return gives me material points.


WTF IS MATERIAL POINTS?
This is earned by "processing" your mats on blacksmith. The matpts (shortcut) is needed when you decide to create a blacksmith or alchemist later on (and I know you will coz everybody does at some point coz more spina dis wae). These matpts can also be used for your land. This is important. I can not emphasize how IMPORTANT it is to BUY LAND.

Oof wait, if you want to see how much material points you earned: Go to Menu>Character>Production.


WHY BUYING LAND IS IMPORTANT
It's not just for playing house. It is used so that you may cook FOOD BUFFS.

SENPAI WHAT IS FOOD BUFF?
It is the extra buff you get for your character. I have ampr+22 on my land so if we're friends or guildmates, you can easily access my food buff via my land. Go to my kitchen and take a bite on mah food. If you have taken a bite, ampr+22 is automatically added on all your characters. This lasts for 12 hrs. You can have up to 4 types of food buff. So basically, you can get AMPR from me, go to another's land.. get maybe HP and MP. So one more to go, maybe CRIT or ATK? All in the same day for 12 hrs. That is why it is highly recommended to buy land when you get to Lv30 and cook food buffs yourself.
Here's a list of Food Buff in this forum: https://toramonline.com/index.php?threads/toram-food-recipes-28-06-2019-update.43989/
See for yourself and work on that food buff! Good luck!

WHERE CAN YOU BUY LAND?
You can go to your land from "Menu > Terminal > Go to Your Land" when your character reach Lv30.
Buy land for only 10,000 Spinas nya~


SOFYA LIBRARY
Toram is not a game where skills are automatically learned or unlocked. You have to go to the LIBRARY on Sofya to learn new skills, and it's not for free. What I like about Toram is, even IF you're an archer, you can learn skills for mage, swordsman etc. It's completely yours to take and decide on. Just don't waste skill points, okay? Try searching for builds on YouTube for reference. I swear it will help you a LOT on what to do with your characters. And for that...

THE CHARACTERS YOU SHOULD HAVE
You should plan on creating:
1. DPS Main - Main Damage Per Second Character. Must be OP and maxed level. Aim for that.
2. LUK Farmer - For farming materials you need or want to sell. (Also for refining +B to +S)
3. TEC Blacksmith - For refining your items to +B, synthesis (putting colors called dyes on your weapon, armor or hat) or creating your own potions and this character is also used for putting stats on weapon or armor. The #1 spina-maker character you'll have.

...BUT PLEASE do focus on leveling your main dps FIRST AND FOREMOST, for a few HIGH DMG skills to unlock on the library that require you to have at least one lvl 200+ character.

I won't be giving tips about class here one by one but I suggest you to FIND A GOOD BUILD on internet or forums. Research and you won't regret!

REMIND YOURSELF TO PLAY POTUM DARTS EVERYDAY.
Menu > News > Let's Play Potum Darts
(You can get books and shiz here. FE: Slot Piercers, Orb Shard, Books, Stats Boost Gems, Refinement Powders, Anti-Degradations, Material Boxes, Spina. LINK: https://th.toram.jp/information/detail/?information_id=586)

Spoiler: *sigh* why don't you believe me?

Books can aid you on faster leveling. Take that book for example. Libera Book's effect when used is EXP GAIN+100% for 1 hour. If you want to level fast by defeating mini bosses or bosses, these books will help you out.


On avatars, DO NOT USE YOUR ORB OR TICKET PIECE HASTILY. Wait for the "100% avatar guaranteed"! No doubt, you'll get an avatar for sure!

HOW TO NOT WASTE ORBS? I highly recommend that you use orbs for storage. 5 slots on Deposit ONLY COST ONE ORB. 1 ORB! TRUST ME ON THIS. Use your orbs here first before anything else. I so regret that I waste them all on avatars which were not avatar 100% guaranteed ;_; feel mi pain.

REVITAS ARE LIFE SAVER, DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THEM. Always check your auto item beside your IGN. Use revita according to your max hp. It can save you millimetre inches to death proven and tested. (Love u rev)

Spoiler

Revita I
- Restores 250 HP.
Revita II
- Restores 500 HP.
Revita III
- Restores 1000 HP. (THIS IS CHEAP ON CB.)
Revita IV
- Restores 2000 HP.
Revita V
- Restores 4000 HP.

You can also USE SHORTCUT for easy access on skills, items, emotions or whatnot on the tip of your fingernails. Menu > Settings > Shortcut

DON'T BE AFRAID TO USE NORMAL GEMS ON BOSS. (^-^)
They only cost 10 spina on Nelfon of Figo's Manor.

Spoiler

DON'T EVER WASTE UR REVIVE DROPLETS MAN. Use them wisely ;_; There's a lot of high level bosses in near future of your quest. Don't use them on dem mobs, dem low lvl monsters. If you die, go to town. Unless it's a boss with low hp left then u died and it's such a waste to go back then sure, go ahead use your revive. BUT PLEASE, SAVE THEM. It's very hard to obtain unless you have tons of real money cash. You can NOT buy revives for spinas. You need orbs. And orbs cost real money! YOU GET ME MAN? SAVE YOUR REVIVE DROPS!


AFFORDABLE OP ITEMS (BEGINNER EDITION)
Armor: NPC Heaven Feather Garb (Lvl 160)
Materials: Red Satic Fabric x3 and High Grade Frill Fabric x1
Just look at these stats: HP, MP, ATK/MATK with RESISTS (It's for general use: mage or blade user.)

Spoiler

It's so majestic ;_; I knoe

(Katana) Additional Gear: Top Hat (atk+3%, aspd+150, unsheathe atk+9%) There are two types. Make sure you get the 9% unsheathe not the 7% unsheathe.
Super Cheap Additional Gear: Shaved Ice Hat (Crit Rate+20, Crit Dmg+2%) coz we aiming for that 100 crit
Event-just-ended-so-VERY-CHEAP: Bear Hat (Atk+5%, Crit+15)
Cheap 1s Ring: Beast Fang Talisman (mp+400, ampr+1)
Cheap 1s Ring: Dark Knight Amulet (mp+400, aggro-25%) for bow users I recommend
(Mage) Cheap Ring: Philosopher's Ring (mp+300, int+3%, cspd+30%)
(Mage) Semi-cheap Ring: Magic Talisman IV (mp+500, int+8)


~ ON LEVELING
Toram is quiet strict on leveling characters. Even if you're lvl 20 that defeated a lvl 50 monster, you will not level up drastically. In fact, the exp you'll gain would so lowered-- you won't even feel you defeated a monster x2 your level. That's why the effective leveling of your character would always be defeat monsters NEAR YOUR LEVEL.

ULTIMATE LEVELING GUIDE:
https://toramonline.com/index.php?threads/☆the-ultimate-levelling-chart☆-mobs-boss-mini-boss.39339/
This is the only leveling guide I follow.

Spoiler

152>>162 Commander Golem (Mini Boss)
162>>179 Venena (Nightmare)
179>>182 Carbuncle (Mini Boss)
182>>199 Venena (Ultimate)
199>>205 Seele Zauga (Ultimate)

That's all. You're welcome.

--
(Edited coz I feel you man. Just know, everyone starts at zero. Everyone went through the same hardships as you. Everyone started as a newbie like me and you who search desperately in the internet to somehow increase the zero spina in our status. Don't chu feel bad about being broke and weak man. You feel like you're the weakest player but you're not. You'll be stronger, much more richer soon, I promise you.)

HOW TO EARN SPINA
You can never go wrong in farming Minotaur Skin.
Mino Skins are used on Lefina's quest: Proof of Courage. 3x mino skins = 1 anti-degradation which is used by EVERY blacksmith players. It is an easy drop so you won't have a hard time getting it. You just need the patience to farm for hours. A stk of anti-degration can cost 300-500k spina depending on demand. You can also just sell Mino Skins right off the bat. It's up to you.

Bird Wing. This material is used to craft Adventure Garb. Popular way of earning spina. It's always 7-9k per stk. Also very easy drop. Very low level mobs.

[editing 04/07/20. Will add more mats to farm for you]

MORE INFO ABOUT THIS "POTENTIAL" ON ITEMS:

Spoiler

Players can put their own stat (int+8%, matk+10%, critdmg+20 etc etc) as long as it has POTENTIAL in it. Potential will determine how many stats you can put on your weapon or armor. BUT not anyone can put stats, you must be a BLACKSMITH to do so.

How can an armor or weapon have potential? If you see a weapon with potential, that only means one thing: It is created by a player. Here in Toram, you can be a blacksmith and create your own weapons or armor. How can a character be a blacksmith if there's no hammer to choose from in creating a character? Well my friend, with the right stats and skill trees, even if you choose a random class, you can be a blacksmith.

ALSO, you must know that there are different kinds of blacksmith: Weapon blacksmiths, armor blacksmith and the PURE TEC stat one which can be a refiner, statter and also maybe an alchemist (and a complete worthless character in battle). YES, what great news! You can be a blacksmith and an alchemist. Yay!

Can I not be a refiner, statter, weapon/armor maker, alchemist all the same? Uhm, no.

In order for you to max the potential of the armor/weapon you're creating, you need your stat to depend on what armor/weapon you are creating. For example staff. You need your stat to be FULL INT, REST TEC. How about bow/bowguns? FULL DEX, REST TEC. How about armors? Because every class wears one :v FULL VIT, REST TEC. Why TEC? Why not any substat? TEC increases the success rate of whatever you're creating. More explanations you can search for another guide because I will just teach the basic knowledge here that you'll learn soon enough while playing. I'm just giving you the heads up and a little touch on the subject before you learn and experience them.

HOWEVER! I simply cannot stress this enough. Please, please finish your main quest first before making any blacksmith. You can create your farm mage first but blacksmith? Please, for the love of your mother, go finish MQ first. There are certain maps locked and you can unlock it by doing MQ. Like the ancient empress tomb map for example. You can't just go there yet unless the empress gives you her blessing. Like that and other important map, skills and stuff.

~ ABOUT GUILD
How to Get Guild Contribution Points and What You Can Do With It

After you join a guild, you can now go to the GUILD BAR. (my favorite hang out place) Menu > Terminal > Go to Guild Bar ~ even if you're everywhere in the world of Toram, you can meet with your guild mates here. Just make sure you're both in the same server and you can meet with them anytime!

You can also go to GUILD MAZE where you can get ores for example high-purity orichalcum (which cost 220k each at CB = consignment board), tattered catalogs & gems which are used to change the appearance of your character, antidegs and magic hammers and more. ='D

How to go to the Guild Maze?
Go to Guild Bar, find the TRANSFER DEVICE and enter. Simple.

• BUT please do form a party first before entering. Guild maze is hard and you must not underestimate the mobs. (Especially orc! I hate freaking orc! It deals 5k damage a hit! Avoid at all cost!)

• Also, You cannot resurrect at the maze. Once you die, you dead, you can't hit a mob and they won't attack you. You simply become a ghost. You can either go back to the guild bar or stick around to help. How can you help? By leading the way to the next floor and disarming the traps ahead. Ghosts can see the map/path clearly that's why you are the one that your guild mates can depend on for searching the exit.

• I love being a ghost *-* but because I'm always the pt leader, I can't die. Pt leaders are the only one that can go to the next floor, even if you don't clear the floor, if the lead finds the exit and decides to go to next floor asap, even if you're in the middle of fighting a monster, everyone will be suddenly transported to the next floor.

• You cannot regenerate hp unless the floor is cleared.
• You must not die before conquering at least 10 floors to save. If all your party died at 59th flr, you go back 50th flr if you enter maze again.
• Every 10 floors, 99% guaranteed you might have to fight one or two boss.

Hm? What else did I miss? Tell me in the comments if I miss something thank you!

IMPORTANT: You should make a maze runner character that is Level 1. Just equip your op gears and you're good to go LMAO. It's more efficient and faster this way because if your party are all Level 1, the mobs will also be Level 1.

Fantastic. So much info I needed here. I'll be referencing this on a regular basis for a leg up. I've been grinding for so long, only just now starting main quest. It's made a difference.
On another note if I may make a suggestion, add a couple sections. (Pets/how to/where to) and (land/how to) for the beginners like me. I'm privy to most of the game but seem to find more and more that I don't know every time I turn around.
Btw.
My ign is po21. I'm always looking for mats and gear if at all possible. Possibly find me sometime, I've been trying to put together a guild designed to help newbies who are struggling. I've got 2 so far that come to me all the time for assistance and it's always a heart warmer when they get excited. I could use some help from a seasoned Statter and seasoned player. Or if you want to make some trades I can do that too, I'm constantly farming for mats to sell on c.b.
Thank you for the info vince. Keep up the good work.

 

I further this, this guide has been extremely helpful to me and would recommend you doing the pet and guild guide as well. Enjoyed the contribution.

 

Aww you guys touched my heart I can't even. First, what's the name of your guild @po21? It would be my pleasure to help you and give you mats if possible. Do you have a LINE app? I reply faster there and we could meet in game if we're both available. About the pets and land, I'm afraid I'm still not familiar with those things. I kind of abandon my house (including the pets in it) ever since I decided to focus on my blacksmith. But I can however, link the exact link of when the Pet & Housing System was implemented. I'll get right to it ^^ thank you so much! Oh and by mats and some trades, what specifically?

@Liruliniel, guild guide huh. Hmm. How do I do that. I don't quiet recommend the create your own guild even if you're still a beginner thing. What I did mentioned up there is to "Join a Guild". Oh but! Yeah haha! You just made me realise things. I think you're right. I should put a guild section in there. Thank you for that @Liruliniel! I appreciate it. ^^

 

Updated!

 

vince shizuku to

 

My guild name is "Overseers" I'm afraid I don't have the line app but I'm usually on every day around 3 p.m for a while. It's easiest to find me at the c.b at that time since that's where I go. Or Z ruins farming skeletons. I'm always in one place or the other.
As for mats and such. I trade anything really. Just depends on what your wanting and what you got. You know, typical trade and barter lol.

 

"Overseers" huh. That's a simple catchy guild name. Hope you find more members with big hearts like yours soon.
Aw. I don't think we have the same timezone. But I usually lack of metal mats. Let me trade your fatigued blade with uh, let me pm you the details. ^^

 

I love simple and easy to understand guide~ Its really helpful for newbies
Thank You !!!

 

You're welcome @Rea! Always glad to be of help. ~ And thank you too ^-^)/

 

This is a great thread for beginners. I wish I found something like this when I first started this game. If you don't mind, I am gonna add the thread link in a discord server.

 

Oh sure! Please do. Thank you @Harsh!

 

Thanks for it.

 

thank you so much for your thread. really helpfull

 

This is a good guide, I'll try to follow it.

 

This guide is what I really need

 

"great guide" would be an understatement,
it's even more than that haha

luckily i researched first before i done something in my char, already lv30 now haha, just for 2 hrs, starting to farm bnuts to make some spina for my gears

 

Up so newcomers would see~
