Beginner's Guide: Main Controls [Part 2]

Hey Toram! This section focuses on more controls/options, as well as a BASIC explanation for skills (since these will be thoroughly covered later on in their own individual section!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~​

Skills

Once you have decided on a main base class, it is time to (1) decide on your sub-equipment for that character [for example, a halberd-dagger build or gun-fu build] and (2) the skills you are required to have for that specific build.

Since recent updates, Toram has become more build-friendly in the way that you can have almost any kind of hybrid or normal build you like, as long as the stat requirements don’t interrupt each other. As an example of this, take a Halberd user that has a Dagger as sub-skill. This enables the halberd user to have a higher attack since both use strength as a stat (therefore, no interruptions). Since the halberd user is able to use the dagger as a sub, they can then use dagger skills to help trick their foes and do more damage. An example of a basic build would be the Archer. Archers commonly use Arrows as their sub-weapon, since arrows are only available to this class. Their stats allow archers to have elements when fighting, and certain stats that can help raise their attack or range damage.

NOTE: Hybrid classes will be covered in their own individual section of this guide for thorough details on how they work, what they’re good for, and what you need to build one.

Chat Options
Chat Types

• [Say] Allows you to send chats to the players around you.
  
  
• [Shout] Allows you to send chats to the players in the map

• [Whisper] Allows you to send chat to one specific player
  
  
  • Tap the character you want to send chats to and tap “Action”. Then you can select “Whisper” from the menu.
    
    
  • Menu > Community > Friends. Tap the menu button in top right corner of the friends list (a gear symbol). These are the settings for what to do with friends. Select “Whisper” and message tap on the friend name in list and tap “Whisper” again (it should be beside their name now) in order to whisper to them.
    
    
    • This method can also be used for Guild member!
      
  • Use Chat Log trick! Pull your chat log (at bottom of screen) towards the top of your screen (just drag it - it should let you view full log chat record) and tap name you want to select. Tap whisper in actions bar. Ta da!
    

When you are done chatting with a specific someone, then just tap the ‘Back’ button. Should had a reversed arrow symbol. This allows you to stop chatting. If you struggle swapping from chat to chat, use the chat selection in upper right corner. Voila!

NOTE: You can also block chats from people you don’t want to receive these from. There are players who may pick fights just for fun. PLEASE do not fall to their level if you are provoked. Simply block them.

How to Switch World?
If you struggle finding a way to switch world (for example, moving from English to International server) then have no fear! Moving worlds is a lot more basic than it may seem. All you have to do is select Menu > Logout > Switch Channel > Select World > (Choose your world).

Changing the Channel
As part of one of the basics of the game, it is essential to know what “Channel” (Server) you are in. Channel numbers can be viewed in the bottom right corner of your screen, near your minimap. It will be something like “4ch”...this indicates the channel number. Channels are essential to parties and other activities that may require meeting up with players. If you are trying to change channel number, you need to go to: Menu > Logout > Switch Channel. Worlds and Channels are put in the same logout function. The first function you will see is the list of channels for the map (every map has a different amount of channels. For example, Saham Underground: Deepest Part could have 1 channel, whereas Sofya might have 10 channels to choose from). The second function, used for “Select World” allows you to view what worlds you can swap to, as previously covered in the above section. Each list shows you what channels are ‘Heavy’, ‘Medium’, or ‘Light’. This tells you how many players are in each channel; “Heavy” having the most and “Light” the least.

Saving the Game Data
The game data will be automatically saved as you play the game. It updates constantly, so don’t worry if you need to close down the app! You will come back to the exact same way you had left it in. I close mine down all the time.

To be sure your data is saved safely, select Menu > Logout > Close App.

If you want to be able to move devices, Go to Settings > Account > Save or make an Asobimo Account for Toram. This can also be directly accessed easily on the main login screen of your game. There will be a notification for Creating the Account.

Locking Items
Locking items is a handy tool that blocks you from accidentally deleting items you need. It can be done through your Inventory and Storage. All you have to do is open the invent/storage (invent is accessed through menu; storages are often in ‘Town’ locations, generally at the merchants), tap the item you want to lock, tap ‘Gear’ icon (item setting) and then tap the Lock button. Your item should now have a red outline around it’s square/slot. This shows that the item it locked.

If you want to unlock the item, just go through same method. Tap unlock selection.

Forming a Party
When you are gaming, it is sure that you will have moments where you need a party. Since Toram is an MMORPG, you are encouraged (and sometimes required) to make a party with other players to complete things or farm.

To invite: Tap the character you want to party with, and tap ‘Party’.

Invite from friends list: Go to your friends list through the menu (if you need help to do this, go to the “Chat” section of this guide) and tap the character you want to invite (their name in the list) and tap invite when it pops up.

Invite from chat logs: Drag the chat window to the top of screen to view full chat log. Then tap character’s name and tap ‘Party’ in the action bar.

Screenshot?!?!
You do not need to go into complications for a basic screenshot in Toram. Simply tap Menu > Settings > Shortcuts. Once opened, you need to select a shortcut slot (one of the four red dots on left side of options list) and tap Screenshot > OK. Close the menu and voila! You have screenshot selection on the main screen. Tap it whenever you want a picture~! (and remember to pose gracefully!)

I will be continuing and creating more threads later this week! I just need to edit the guide some more There might be more to this section, just to be sure that all questions or concerns get covered. If there's anything you need relating to these topics (since I haven't covered others yet) then please let me know! ​
