New Players guide for dummies

forrest.halliburton

        This is going to be a very long post and may have to do it in parts as I have a lot of comments to go with screen shots. in all I hope this helps the new players and maybe some old. this is a compilation of oddities and thing to be aware of in the game so you don\'t make the same rookie mistakes many have made. Also;MAYBE GT will look at and fix some of these items as well. (big maybe).; please hold comments until I complete this in order to have a coherent post, that includes my troll buddies, thanks

        1. Djinni merchant. Save More may actually cost you more.; the note says use darics to increase discount; can spend 20 darics at a chance to save more, but may only drop price 15 darics, Don\'t waste on 90% or even some 50% already off items;(things that cost less than 300 to begin with). the odds are bad that you will actually recoup the 20 darics for that;attempt.

        


        #2 mount training -caps out at level 50 (now 70 after update) using soul stones.; Doesn\'t matter which mount you use or had as primary in the past, the training counts for any mount that you have as primary/glamor. So top it out and move on to heros. ( mount;may have to;be of good quality in order to reach zeus opus);


        

        #3 upgrading heroic gear- you will have plenty of munin powers- (can get from shops and hot events),;but the royal marks required (400) can only be acquired from CS tourneys (Team and Single). Good luck in you journey for this one. game has added them to starry dream and tycoon so alittle easier to get, but still fairly rare for non cashers, now they have added divine emblems which are like the royals of old

        ;


        #4 Highest angels-; These angels are never offered as event prizes or are shards made available any where but CS shop, as you can see from the marks required, they are above royal marks. This means you must place very high in the before mentioned CS tourneys ( top 10 I believe) in order to earn them,;this may take multiple tourneys, 1 mark (platinum);is solely for the winner. which up until now has been a dev seed/hacker.;
after along time they did offer alecta and now victorina in shops, and shards, but still no athena

        


        #5 praise, many players may skip over this icon Hall of Fame), you can praise 5x daily and receive;free goodies ( scrolls etc). something similar has been added to divine war. (It is a list of previous domination champions with # of wins)

        as for the shop inconsistencies - it is a design flaw, one of the proofs developers are not lazy but lousy. The common good practice is to reuse as much of code as possible wherever it can be used - so that same things on different places are done the same way. It makes bughunting much easier, the whole code much smaller and more manageable.
        We also have at least three kinds of blitz and three kinds of combat engines - that is why there are no skip buttons on many places one would expect them.

        Thanks! Reading those posts was much more fun than trying to play game! (Might sound sarcastic but isn\'t at all)
        And that post about the treasure map pieces was mine, I feel special now lol

hey your guide doesnt explain the basic\'s. It won\'t help a new player. You showed alot of late stuff. It\'s more like a FAQ.

        post #2
        Guide continued

        #6 Buying a ring for wedding/ clothing buff- this is the only ring worth buying, the others are cheaper, but can only use one (socket);so might as well be this one. game partner gets one for free after wedding party. So maybe talk them into splitting it with you, and use a precious as well. you cannot sell them so they will stay in inventory for life. and get back if divorce. So why buy a cheap imitation, dazzle her with this beauty and enjoy!

       


        #7 Refining- Obviously this is a warriors weapon, nice big shiny blade. Maybe some day I will turn into a mage and need to exchange it for a staff. (wait cant exchange that option not updated yet?) So why else would I be able to get a MATK buff of +20, for a sword? why couldn\'t they have just put ATK? its because when you try to actually refine it will offer the MATK like its butter. as you click away 350 stones a pop.


       


        #8 Tycoon- the prizes shown;almost never match from one page to another. have to look closely to see which has all of them listed or combine them to get full list. Problem is all the icons wont fit in space provided. Many comments have came out wondering why a cherub wasn\'t offered as a prize anymore? or why do 2nd and 3rd get a ring but 1st doesn\'t?

       

       


        #9 Tycoon rules- See below highlighted area- saving loads of chests or points for shops will not help you. It is not that tycoon is broke and not giving you your points for buying 20 chests from Dark abyss. It will tell you where to find said item and how many points each is worth. Just click on the Tycoon icon or any of the resources listed and click rules tab. walla  INFO. Now for advanced learning now write those points for each type down. can use later for calculating how many points you would get if you spent 499 diamonds in hot events (limited resources) for 300 soul stones which has 2x point value. 600 right, ok, now buy them again to make 1200 points for 600 souls tone = $10, you will find out that Angel tears are the most expensive at a rate of 800 points per $10 spent.

       

        #10 Free wings- these are the only semi-free wings that are available. you can purchase shards (need 100 to synth in forge) from the voucher shop. as you can see they are offered in various amounts. Now, it may take over a month of constantly watching for the shop to update every 2 hours to see if by chance one of those 4 have came up. Its like Xmas everyday. (other wings are available with diamonds thru the shop for the impatient) ( can also get some wings;thru beach treasure if you save up/ spend;and they have enough come up to actually synth.) this may take months as well.;, (there is a note by the refresh button that says use merchant tokens, they have not been available for some time, at least 5 months now, so forget trying to speed the rate up)

        # 10 continued

       


        #11 Wedding garb (shards) here are your options- win this as 1st prize in an event like Rose (make VIP friends and beg them to send you 10k worth). Hope it comes up in a angel/tree shop and spend to win. Lorelie\'s wardrobe gets resurrected from the dead and you finally get to spend some of those aureas ( I need more please include hot events). Or do it the old fashioned way by getting married to a player of the opposite gender, that you have 2000 intimacy with, then you can have 200 valentines parties (limit 1 per day) for only 200 vouchers a piece. ( it takes 200 to synth in forge). last resort if your partner quits the game / or you cant find anyone to marry you, you can trade the shards in for seraphs (as per the note) in the forge. Wait that is not an option in forge? say it isn\'t so? that\'s right after a year of updating the game they never finished that part. Ok, for real just sellout and take the cash (gold)

       


        #12;elementary my dear Watson, Did you know that a row will;lock its value if you reach;L20 + 10 stars .
        That\'s right it;is taken out as an option for downgrading. Now all is not saved, you still have to deal with the; features, not living up to implied expectations, ( still will burn thru a lot of stones just to do this way, but at least not toggling back and forth around 11k anymore) best if use the 10 or 20 per attempt for this,;it still will get on a roll of not giving green arrows but seemed cheaper than throwing 50 at it with no change in luck yes this extra less chance of downgrading is not guaranteed to improve much of anything. ;

       

        #13 Oh lucky #, so do you feel luck, well do ya PUNK,; you can laugh cause the VIPs are the ones getting punked.
        As you can see highlighted level gets an 18% increase in enhance (VIP explosion only);and 13%;soulrise crit rate.
        That is awesome, now only if worked? how does this work? % of what on enhance? turns out it is a crit rate too.(doesn\'t it work like gem synth success rate? NO) again when asking for details you will find out that it is all based on luck! and that is not a guarantee on anything happening more frequently either. so 18% of 0=0, same for crit rate, will use the same as the next player if not more for same upgrades. why because you are VIP and can afford it. Do you still feel lucky?
       

       

        # 14; Heros- thunder buddies for life. As you progress thru the game you will gain new recruits out of the tavern. congratulations you and so and so have hit if.;At some point you may become desperate for herosouls and decide to;;fire good ole Rose Knight, so you can get;Nether Knight instead. He is so much better!, What you may not realize is after level 40ish you can no longer get blue hero souls anymore, the draws are set that way, so later on when there is a review or you need that upgrade for seraphs, sorry,;cant have that one anymore. ;(has anyone built a 1 mil Rose Knight that would be awesome for TA)

       

        # 15; Forum posting 2 things here, ( sorry not getting started on all the spam, trolls etc. )
        Please for the love of all that is holy, move the stuff in the SS, from the corner, where it gets clicked on trying to scroll up! then instead of having a nicely worded post you have a blank poll? and no way to recover what you had typed? no back button oops sorry, start over, only this time with more feeling (anger that is)
        The other are the mysterious yet deadly illegal words (flag words for spam/hackers etc). oops have no published list ( I get it spammers would adapt to get thru) but to not allow a back arrow,;or highlight the word so it can be changed? a little warning please! its like getting a blue screen of death when that pops up. (oh no its all gone)

        part 4

        #16; Tidal pool-pool level-;look at the note on the experience bar (blue bottom mid) the note says must be lvl 80 to upgrade! However that has not been updated in the game? Once you get to lvl 80 congrats nothing happens .;Another example of items that where originally thought of but never followed up on. (too busy making things more difficult and expensive)

       


        #17 Big Sale- Once upon a time this offered more than the same old;stuff ( resources mostly) and changed from time to time, it has become a forgotten relic, Notice that it was updated to cover 1 month (January). This is also not a true daily task but can be purchased in limited #s daily. it should probably be located on the lower icon bar but then who wood accidently click on it and open? PS the 70% is close it is actually 67% guess they rounded up.

       

        #18 Raiders - a few things going on here, notice the amount of shard drops for 2 of the 4 (over 200), yes this is done to promote raiding other players. Would it be nice to cap this # to allow more drops on other shards you bet. This is especially true;on low population servers where Isabel is about your only option.
        Next we have one thing saying you are on lvl 3 (mine selector top mid), another saying lvl 4 (experience bar). also like tidal pool you may never see this upgraded as it is maxed out.
        lastly the rotating announcement (near bottom red letters) lets you know you have been raided, however, it is not set to each day, so once you have been raided ever! this message will haunt you until you die or quit. Also just because you are synthing shards does not mean that they are safe. use protection (Trojan man)

       
       

        #19 Little Helper- this could have been the greatest thing since sliced bread and does help save a lot of time.
        the items have a few quirks, Besides the fact that it suddenly stops running;for no apparent reason and will even say finished when it obviously has not. Gemology uses the energy that is displayed -great just expect about 70% return in points for what a normal player could do manually, apparently the AI can\'t look past 2 moves ahead (don\'t worry Skynet won\'t come online for a couple more years).;
        Garden- this can be good if you have to take a break, it will bless your world tree while you are gone. however it will bless everyone else too, and water your plants and friends as well until you run out. It does not bless marriage tree, or collect said rewards from trees.;
        Jackpot- works ok, if you want to use bonus cards must spin manually
        Loop- works ok, except that your main page will be bombarded with pop-ups;(meetings with Goro) until quests complete, kicking you out of whatever you were doing.
        Tarot is new and should go away once other back online, (maybe)
        yes, more could be added like dragonsoul energy, (but wait they can spend dias), ;Zodiac, Totem Guardians. and I am sure others.

        sorry, this was supposed to go with #11 (note date of original post)

       

        and this one goes with #1
       

        This one goes with #16

        #20 Flashing for no reason- #s wrong
        Divine realm and main page bleed over sometimes, just click on the icon, enter to reset the attempts.
        The flashy things to get your attention, common ones are daily tasks, recharge, garden each time you refresh (you will have to at some point) all these flashers kick back on. nothing new to see, just have to click again to shut off.
        The timers underneath sometimes get mixed up as well and have to click to reset
        garden makes no sense at all where # comes from.

       

        #21 Typos and old screens
        In hot events there is a scroll panel that lists events that are currently going on, (upper right) you will see one for Hero/mount upgrade- this ties in with a hot event that comes out randomly. Lately, only the Hero upgrade has been optioned. (you will not receive seraphs for a mount upgrade) has been a very long time since the mount part has been used. (guess you should of had it maxed out by now? ) see previous; # about mount training

        next is the sometimes funny typos, (roast/toast) potato/pototo, 1 N or 2 for angel? had one in hot events lately that was hilarious.

       

       

        #22; Zodiac- their is a new post out to fix the blitz error, have to go to news and announcements and look for link
        once you get cleared of purgatory Aries there is no more rewards apparently to unlock (has a lock), you get some essence which was added for artifacts, but I guess when game was made they didn\'t think anyone would every clear this level,;so they didn\'t make a reward. (can understand why since Capricorn nightmare say once cleared can enter Aries, but that is false and creates a bug that will lock up the first guard in Aries) Wait until you have cleared Pisces before attempting and maybe it wont glitch.
       

       

        #23; CS - not getting into all the bugs just a couple oddities that have been there for whole time.
        has anyone ever gotten the Honor bonus? I am thinking this was another good idea fairy that was created when game started and never materialized.
        It is possible to mine 990 and kill 30 by yourself;and still lose 10;battle points. I have done it,

        ;

        #24; Guild leader- see notes below, I am not sure why the counter is stuck on 7, obviously I am logged in but still says I haven\'t for 7 days? huh, coincidence title transfers at 7 days? Make sure that you have a deal with the deputy in case you get dropped by a glitch or something.

       


        #25; Skill chests,;pop quiz hotshot- what;is different between the 2 pictures besides level of chests? One is daily reset the other is on a timer? Guess they don\'t want you getting as many advanced chests. thanks GT;

why are you wasting your time and effort, everything you post here can be found in strategy section. ;Not only will your thread disappear soon because people likes to make 100 thread about the same problem when it comes up, but your guide is very bias, i dont see tips on how to save money IRL to spend for loa, and how to recharge effectively, this is boring and ineffective, please stop while you\'re behind

        I love this post, rather informative with a good sense of humor with jabs of reality.;

        I\'d also mention that tidal pool is 410 points per common/free school and I believe 745 points per Big Bait

        Refining Crit Damage hasn\'t been released yet and haven\'t found any one one that has.;;

        But amazes me though since Alliance release about how random some questions are from long time players.... Don\'t be scared to click around on stuff. There\'s a pop up message on stuff before you have to spend something.;;

        Ya the advertisement for hero\'s upgrade is rather deceiving since it just stats hero\'s mounts upgrade system on and directs you to the event which stats heros only, on specific upgrade levels also.
