New Game Default Setting and Recommendation

Recently after I cleared the app data, the default settings make me headache at the first glance
I feel like there are some important settings need to be adjusted. I will give some explanation below.
I'll sharing here and hope you all will get a better gameplay experience

The below comment will include some of my recommendation (underlined). Don't hesitate to adjust the settings until you found your preference.

Going into Menu > Settings >
Shortcuts
Adjust and arrange your skills. You can also setup for any Usable Item, Emotion, Menu, Screenshot, Orb Item(Life and Mana Potion), Switch Sets, Guard/Evasion (update 16/4/2020) or remove shortcut you had set.
Setting in List: There are 5 pages (tap it), you will see the setting below "Tap to unlock the slots" from the Page 2 onward.
Unlock it anytime if you need extra shortcuts pages/slots. (the settings remain there even if you turned off the page)
All shortcut setting is separated for each character + with different weapon group.
Eg: when you setting up shortcut while using bare hand, after that if you equip a bow, the shortcut will become another set.
Update: Set 1, 2 and 3 are added. Now 3 sets of shortcut per weapon is possible. And there are buttons to switch between the sets.
Update 16/4/2020: new function: Photo Shot has been added under the menu. Additional slot for guard and evasion.

Auto-Item
Normally used for auto recovery, set your potion here. The item will automatically used when the HP is under the percentage you selected.
Cooldown after Item Used = 10 seconds
The recovery item will be auto used only when you're in Combat mode (attacking monster/chased by monster)
Only can put HP healing item here. Too bad Death Truffle can't put here.

Turn if off. Rotate the Camera yourself during Combat.
Usable for some boss that is flying all around. But it is hard to look around if turned On (Need to make sure the selection is not on boss when rotating the Camera). Bad for people tapping at the Action button too much like me...​

Change to Normal / Slow, Instant gameplay experience update!. It change the speed of camera moving when you move your character.
(New function implemented in 2018)
Selection: "Link the camera to certain skills and evasion". turn on to automatically change Camera angle after using skill that will change location, or Evasion.
Setting to Prompt is useful for first person view. (at extreme zoom)​

Evasion: Auto (TBC), Manual A: Press shortcut and directional button to activate, Manual B: Double tap minimap and directional button to activate.​

> Frame Rate : Default Normal

Turn on HQ (60 fps) for a totally new gameplay experience. Whether or not it will increase the battery consumption is very subjective to the device you using.
​

Ex: when youre targeted by more than 1 monster, tap and hold on that monster, a quick system will be available to switch your target from current aimed monster to another one. Not really handy on this system. I found it better to used Action list.

Recommended to temporary Turn Off Others when youre farming in a party in a place where there are many other players.

korean can't access inter world, cmiiw

 

personally...
l want an option to turn off the damage graffics (dealt/taken/aliements), we have chat, hp bar and icons to reflect tht.
tht way we can enjoy more the skill animations.

 

can be set anywhere between 25 and 75.
it's the transparency of placed skill effects.
0 would be invisible and 100 would be solid.
lower numbers make it easier to see AoE indicators beneath your skills (magic wall), but it also makes the skills look pale.
i recommend 50, as it makes the skills look good and still let you see through them.

 

Oh thanks for info.
Thats why I never saw korean words in the chat.

Thanks~ I seems fun so I test out the effect. Updated.
