Getting Started
Intro
Ok this game is NOTHING like eTO. I mean, it uses the same graphics, the same characters, but literally everything is different! Let's go over some of the differences and some tips & tricks to get started!
Will I like Trickter:M if I liked Trickster Online?
Absolutely not. Trickster:M is different. It is worse in a lot of ways, but it can stand by itself. I have a lot of love for the original game, and while I feel like this version is SIGNIFICANTLY inferior... It is still -okay-, and I will still play it. However, if you are expecting Trickster 2, or Trickster Online: Mobile (Faithful), you will be disappointed. Please keep an open mind when playing this game. It is still being developed, and Trickster OG was very different when it was first developed too.
Drilling & Killing
So we AUTO DRILL & ATTACK in this game! We all have a permanent "driller boy", HORRAY! Driller Boy is still in the game as a pet, but he has different stats instead.
To switch between attack mode and drilling mode, click the drill/sword in the lower right hand corner. Make sure "auto" is on, and them BAM you will auto kill / auto drill! You can still manually kill or drill if you want, and manually killing does have its advantages.
Manually Drilling does have its benefits! If your drill isn't high enough rarity or enhancements, auto can fail. also the perks of manual drilling is you can drill treasure spots a lot more efficiently. Auto will most likely cause you to walk out of the area for them
Once you get a green rarity or higher skill, you can use a dowsing skill to try and assist you to find a treasure spot. If you are able to locate a potential treasure spot (circles show up indicating potential areas), the skill goes on a 4 hour cooldown. You can buy a passive skill for 6.5k harkons from the item girl that accepts harkons that unlocks the crazy drill skill like the one we had in the past but activates at random.
A major con, which may be a dealbreaker for you... we dont see how much damage we're doing... or how much HP the enemy has. (Major rip)
You equip Equipment and Drills just like normal, however, Weapons CAN BREAK FROM NORMAL USE. To fix them from NORMAL USE, buy a hammer from the item store! To fix them from refining, you need to buy a repair powder... which costs 3 million harkons... (rip) Luckily, you can buy new weapons on the exchange!
Also drills are a little different. You can REPAIR your drill using Whetstones. Whetstones are a fairly inexpensive (1k) new item sold in the item store. You can put the Whetstone in your auto-bar to automatically repair your drill overnight. No more filling your inventory with 300 drills!
There are no more drilling "veins", so no Fox skill to detect items underground. All item are in all spots, just a probability of them appearing with every dig.
Also, depending upon your drill's life, you can only dig so far down. If your drill has less than 38% life, it will only dig to 5m.
Auto Bar
The auto bar is a bar in the center of the screen where you can put stuff to automatically use. You can put Whetstones and skills there. (Maybe other things?)
The Auto Potion is there and is turned on/off by clicking it. At this time, you cannot put any other potion there. You can buy more at the Item Shop. They are fairly inexpensive.
You can also put a delay in between using the skills in the skill itself, sometimes this helps with saving MP!
If you want an item/skill to be "ON", slide the box down. If you want it off, slide the box UP!
I do not know what all you can put in this bar, so please edit this with more info.
THANKS <3
Stats & Equipment
AP/AC/DP/WT/etc are no more. Instead we get a new set of stats based upon those, but not the same, and not really transferable. (Power, Intelligence, Wisdom, Finesse, Stamina, and Agility) (please see UI - General UI - LEFT for more info).
We get a whole new slew of equipment! See image for each new slot!
Exchange
So we can't trade with other players (rip), but what we can do is put an item up on exchange.... but you cant buy them with galders, you have to buy them with Diamonds. Diamonds is a myshop item... BUT you can put any of your items up for sale to make Diamonds! So the diamonds initially come from MyShop buyers, but you can get them as a free to play (f2p) player also!
Myshop
There's a few different type of MyShop Currency.
I do not know any details at this time!
- Diamonds - You can get Diamonds from the Exchange as well as IRL money.
- Megalo Coins
- Harkon - You can get Harkons from quests (?)
- Company Coins
- Galders - There are Fashion/Pet Gacha you can buy with galders (only 30k & up) once per day. Buy these daily!
Quests, Items, & Academy
Items are still in the game but are less micro-managed by us. BUT you can only hold 100 now. When you get a Quest, you click the quest in the quest log, you will auto-walk to the area and start killing/drilling the appropriate monster/place, and then when you collect enough, you will auto-complete the quest.
Whats the point of drilling or killing overnight? You may ask... Well... The Academy!
The Academy is something new, where you will "deposit" certain items/equips into a "book", and you get permanent stat boosts from this! AND it's shared amongst your characters! ALMOST like a New Game +! This is very similar to Ragnarok:Mobile's system of depositing items.
Death
When you die, you lose a % of your exp... that you can "buy" back with galders or diamonds. Luckily for us, we have 5 "Free" buybacks a day for lost EXP!
You can also lose equipment when you die. Those you have to buy back with galders or diamonds. Luckily for us, it's not very expensive to buy back.
Guilds/Companies
Guilds are now called Companies... It costs 200k to open a Company... and we start out with a very low quantity of members. 20 at the time of game start. There is options for submasters and things, but there's currently no way to appoint any.
You get bonus stats based upon what level your guild is, as well as perks like higher member count.
There's guild "specialities" you can buy for 1m galders. I do not know much about this at the time.
There is a guild "poll" you can fill out to ask some fun questions from your members!
Pets & Fashion
Pets and Fashion are no longer items. they are their own seperate system ran by... Gacha! (rip), However, we get gacha for free! (un-rip)! We can buy up to 4 pet and fashion gacha per day (depending upon our level) with galders in the MyShop window. (2nd tab, 2nd option)
If you get multiples, you can combine 4 multiples to get 1 free "re-roll"!
Fashion also has STATS! So depending upon which suit you wear, you will have differnt stats. At this time you cannot put on each piece of fashion, it is all in 1 "suit". (rip)
PVP
PVP is open world. (rip) You can and will be killed while you are killing/drilling overnight. It is easy to accidently kill eachother (rip again) while hunting monsters. I hope this is something they change.
