Dear Newbies, READ ME for tips

Are you a new player and having trouble deciding what to be or maybe stuck on something or maybe you finished mq and are having a hard time getting a party to level? Well check these tips out, they might be for you x3 Too many players quit because they think the game is too much of a struggle or a grind. Well it doesn't have to be and you can be one of the top players that didn't quit and stuck through it to go pew pew or smite or stab bosses to death in all their glory. The game is fun if you know how to stick through it so here's a comprehensive tip list to further help you newer players. I do tell you quite a lot to reference (insert sources for example) and you definitely should. There's a lot you won't find here that you will need to know later on but not quite right now.

Current Toram Meta makes it hard on you new players to do much of anything past MQ. What i mean by current Meta is that the game is setup in such a way that if you don't start the right way you're gonna struggle for a bit so here's some helpful tips ^^/

TIPS​

1. Start the game with a tank. Why? Well it's not that you have to, but, like i said current Toram Meta. Going in depth, you finish mq, now what? explore, go back and smite bosses that annoyed you, farm mobs? Sure. But what about that lvl cap? leveling up to party with other higher lvl players to smite newer bosses for drops, gear, xtals, etc.(this includes better stuff to farm and sell). My point, you finish mq and now you need to grind. If you're new then you don't have tier 4 weapon skills(don't worry about this right now, youll get there!). Level grinding after mq is a planned out system(which you can easily find here on the forum). Youre gonna have to party up with other players for this new system and they only want DPS players with TIER 4 damage. There are some exceptions. You could be a lure for those parties(look it up), you could leech(good luck), or someones nice enough to assist level grinding(they wont always be on for you). What these parties do need from you dear new player that matters not for tier 4 is a nice beefy meat shield. That's right a tank! It's in demand, why? The games real name is DPS online. Your best bet for a starting class right now is a tank :3 Now with that tank after MQ, grind it out to Lv150 through the bosses in parties that actually want you all in order to obtain those coveted tier 4 skills. Now you can make the dps, luk, whatever character you want to and go do massive damage with it and people will want those in parties as well. Hate your tank? fine that's ok, it's useful but i suppose you used it for your purposes. There are plenty of reasons to keep it though, including emblem challenges ;3

2. How do I build my character? Well don't worry about this much, there are plenty of builds to reference, just look them up and don't think you have to follow those to a T. Change it up, add your own uniqueness to a build or just reference them for ideas on what to do with yours. There's plenty of material on the forum and even youtube to cross reference. Put a stat point or skill point in the wrong spot? don't worry about it too much. Odds are when you hit cap you would have had some extra skill points you didnt know where to put anyway. Don't stress your build so much! remember to have fun with it and there are ways to reset a character without losing your progress. Free reset(very rare), Orbs(save em all for resets in orb shop).

3. Do i need xtals/crystas, which ones and how to get them? No. Don't worry about this until you have a well rounded lvl cap character that can party up for these or have farmed so much you're sick but rich.

4. This game is impossible without help! I agree :3 It's do-able but really really hard. Know your in game language: LFG=looking for guild, LFP=looking for party, LFM=looking for member. You get the gist of that if you didn't already. You see things in chat like finale or storm or full(insert whatever) don't worry about those. That's experienced DPS spammers and lucky glass fairies(you'll understand that at some point). What you do need to focus on is if you're having trouble with your MQ, watch out for LFP MQ in chat. Other help can be found in a guild(JOIN ONE). You can apply to many here on the forum(the guild im in included, check us out! "Sleeping Forest"). With a guild you get benefits like "free" mercenaries. This is important as in example if you join a pretty prominent guild you can finish whole mq and take down most mini bosses with a good merc at your side. Did i mention they're free? Plus most guilds are more than willing to help where needed if at all they can and answer most if not all of your questions, mine included. Back to referencing the forum, do it! like a lot, seriously. You can find just about if not everything you need to know about a boss here including drops, weaknesses and attack patterns.

5. How do i get better gear without being rich? My advise, you don't need it for at least mq if you followed my tips about the merc or guild or party help. So wait til after when you're ready to grind. If you haven't already stumbled upon some decent gear somehow now you can go craft some at the blacksmith pertaining to your level and you didnt waste all of your mats(materials) going back and forth trying to make better gear every few quests throughout the story. No, it isn't the best gear but it will get you through for awhile until you can either player craft your own good stuff(unlikely you'll know about this for awhile, also not too important) or you can check chat in sofya and also the cb(consignment board) for gear with stats pertaining to your class needs(can be found on forum if you don't know) that isn't too pricey because someones discarding it for their new meta gear.

6. How can i make a decent amount of spina? I'm not gonna go too in depth on this as there are plenty of guides on this to be found. One tip i will tell you is save your late game boss drops and check the cb if it's worth anything. Odds are it is :3 Also if you get something trade-able from your daily potum darts that isnt just a health potion, check that's price too. Lastly the tried and tried and true way. Remember that Minotaur from the ruins? Go kill him a lot, like a lot, over and over and over. Get stacks on stacks of his skin. Either turn those into anti-deg potions through the "Proof of Courage" quest from Lefina near cb in sofya OR just sell the skins. It's a fair bit of profit.

7. The forums~ This is your best friend for Toram. Use it, abuse it(gently) and study it to your hearts content.

Edit: By all means, freely post questions comments or concerns! After all it is for the sake of helping the new unaware player ^^/

 

I hate to double post but i really feel like this should be somewhere easier for new people to access x3 Mod help???

Edit: Maybe under game guides, i just felt as though most new players go straight for class discussions to see what to be. This is a very dangerous place for the toram ignorant.

 

Nice thread Trippy^^ Thanks for the tips x3

 

Rather than making gears along the way... For weapons buying a 10k-20k worth of no stat ns with decent attack actually goes a long way, you only have to change weapons too often, when you start to reach the boss that drops the same weapon thats the time that your switching weapons

 

This important! I'm no expert x3 I'm still lvling my tank(procrastinating) To anyone reading who could benefit, My tips are just for structure to keep the newbie toram player with no experience from quitting the game forever because they didn't know about anything early on.
To anyone else reading, Got more tips for new players? Do share, by all means, go right ahead ^^/

 

Anti-deg is made by doing 'Proof of Courage' quest on Lefina instead of synth.
Other than that, good job.

 

Whoops, thanks for that. Been a while x3 good catch

 

Well made Trippy ^.^/

 

Ty Doc! I tried ^^/

 

Of course! :3 glad i could be of some help ^^/

 

god bless you boi,nice thread !

 

The forum moderator need to pin this kind of thread.
Anyway, nice tips.

 

Thanks though it's slightly outdated now. Just slightly. One of these days I'll come back to it and turn it into a full recommendation+tips+actual links+etc more useful stuff for new players. As of now it's still good for steering them into the right direction ^^

 

Bump cause still relevant

 

I have a different suggestion regarding tip # 1, make a halberd char instead, and after completing MQ one can use dive impact lvl 3 skill to reach lvl 150 by farming mobs without having to rely on parties, mobs can now reach lvl 150 making it possible to get to lvl 150 to get level 4 skills, I once leveled my hb char from lvl 130~ to lvl 150 in just 1 day by using 5 exp books and farming mobs, the key is to find the right mob in an area where they respawn a lot and bunch up together for more efficient farming. There's a lot of cheap halberd dive impact farmer equips available and there's already multiple builds on youtube, plus upon reaching lvl 150 you can already start farming for spina by fast killing minotaur using the lvl 4 halberd skill called dragon tooth, 2 birds in one stone

 

I like this as well uwu ~ Halberd takes so practice to get used to but it's quite rewarding ^^

 

I'm planning on updating this thread pretty soon to tweak a few things i recommended and to add what some other forumers suggested as well. That being said, if you're reading this and have anything to add please share it below sometime soon ^^ I'm probably gonna steer off track a little when i do update this and try to inform the newer people of proper toram etiquette such as don't use certain stuns on bosses. I'm not gonna go into full detail there as there is already guides on that somewhere and i just wanna bring that fact to light. Throw some ideas at this, what do you wish someone told you when you were a newb?

 

Thanks for the guide!! I actually chose a sword as my weapon when I started so I'll have to shift to a tank!! Luckily I still haven't distributed my stat points!!

 

Trippyyy-san, I am around Lvl 19 now and have 6 or so Avatar Tickets, in your opinion should I use them now or save them??

 

Ava tickets are optional
Use it on ava that you like.
Tho,take note that everyday there is an ava chest that cycle
