correction: vaivora drop isnt affected by loot chance
Thank you for the correction. I already crossed out that part. Maybe loot chance can be a separate discussion or guide.
To be precise, vaivora drop from any EP12&13’s elite monster. I got my 1st vaivora from killing elites at field
I think you can get 20.000 mercenary badges by doing the Tutorial, then use this to buy 2 packs of Galimive gear and use ichor transmutation on them.
Thanks for the tip! I haven’t thought of this since I really haven’t done ichor transmutation ever since. 
thanks for the guide… will be sharing it w/ friends who are new
Your assister table comes from here -TOSkemon - Assister Tips (updated day 1, month 2, year 2021)
Made by @greyhiem from itos forum or his youtube channel: ludo tos. Last seen in the forum at asio/wastrel era.
Btw, there is something wrong with his table, iirc baby skia is not holy beast category
Thank you! Will add the source.
I’m also looking for an updated assister table like that, hopefully can find since I can’t make one (too busy).
Did a massive update of this guide to cover end-game stuffs. Newbies and returnees will certainly catch up with the rewards from Settling Support Daily Attendance!
KToS dev blog also posted the future EP14 update which includes an area for newbies and returnees to start at Lv440. O_O So yea, still hoping for more players to arrive.

Just wanted to drop in to say how much I appreciate this. As a new player, getting those boxes that jump you to max is awesome, but it also leaves me completely lost. I was getting completely smacked in Episode 13-1, and after reading this guide and following as many of the steps as I could, I was able to smash it after. Not to mention I feel like I actually know more about what the gear progression is like in this game. So thank you so much! You’ve helped me a ton.

Grouped in this way by character development, character types include the*dynamic character, the round character, the static character, the stock character, and the symbolic character . . Dynamic character: A dynamic character is one who changes over the course of the story.
Hi scarletred76, thanks for the awesome guide! I am a returnee and have some questions if you could please help clarify. My last played was at level 440 and with the +8[EP12] Savinose Dysnai gear sets with TRA 3, armor+weapon. This is the last gear I got before quitting.
-
Can I do anything with this type of gear currently? Is there a trade where I can enhanced it or make it better? I am trying to complete episode 12-2 but having a hard time because I only do very minimal damage to the monsters, I died alot. Still currently at episode 12-2, quest 3 for a while now.

Do I need to start over (gear wise) by getting the Guardian set and start from regular guardian > elite > royal? Even then, will I have enough damage to complete Episode 12-2?
I think Im essentially a new player because I do not remember anything at all lol. But I do have a high level character and would like to continue rather than starting over if possible.
Thanks!!
While playing the game, you accumulate TOS coins. After you get some of them, you will talk to the TOS coin NPC and check the shop for premium items. There will be some scrolls for sale that can turn these items from +8 t3 to +11 t8. I hope this fixes your problem, although the bonuses on Dysnai are pathetic and I fear it won’t be enough. At 460 you could inherit these to Vasilisa and upgrade them using Vasilisa scales, but I’m not even sure Vasilisa is enough now…
The BIG problem you face is that the patch from last week rebalanced mobs from episodes 1-13 by giving them ten times the hp they had before and removing the Growth gear that was tailored for episodes 1-13 in favor of new Guardian stuff which has to be manually enhanced using mats that drop from episode 1-13 mobs or gained from episode 1-13 main quests. This patch made everything below level 480 obsolete.
Yes the Guardian items have bloated stats which are enough to accompany you through episodes 1-13. The BIG problem here is that they are made for people starting from level 1 which can gain a crapton of Guardian Seals just by completing the main quests for episodes 1-13. The drop rate for seals on mobs is also really high, but it’s a pain in the butt collecting them from the ground (they don’t automatically “jump” into your inventory, you have to walk on EACH of them and wait a good 2-3 seconds before they are registered… it’s really annoying).
I wanted to level up my level 290 squire to 470 to use an earring to pump food buffs and all I can do is farm low level maps (Tenet Garden is fine for that) for hours to get the 3-4k seals required to upgrade from regular to elite… then I’ll have to farm again some midlevel maps (DP2 for example) to get the 3-4k elite seals to upgrade again from elite to royal before I can resume main quest in Kalejimas…
For you which have a level 440 char it’s even worse since you won’t be able to get seals from quests until you resume episode 12 and then it’s just gonna be a few ones. Then it’s just depends on how you feel about your character. I would probably not restart and just farm for a few hours, but just be prepared to be bored to death with that…
Hello ToS_Fan and welcome back to the game!
-
You will have a hard time if you will only use the Savinose Dysnai gears, and I think it is not worth it to upgrade it (I also can’t remember if you can enhance them further using anvils or they are permanently +8 ENH and 3 TRA).
-
Yes, I recommend that you start over again by creating a new character and do the episode quests. They recently updated the leveling path - episode quests gives more exp now and they introduced the Guardian Equipments which can be advanced too while you are leveling up. Though I’m not sure how long will it take for you to reach Lv460 with that, I haven’t tried it yet.
Better if you can join a guild or maybe the Support Guild so you have some players to ask or help you level up. Have fun!
Thank you for asking, I realized that they removed the jump cards and the contents of the New/Returning Savior Attendance have been changed. I need to update the guide again. 
Heyyy, thank you both for replying! scarletred76 and draconis.
dragonis; yeah I did exactly that, farmed the seals for hourssss on my wizard. The new update is certainly not aimed at returning players or the intention to keep them long term, lets be honest lol. I did start over on a swordsman’s and the only good thing right now is that we can skill/class reset for free. So I have been testing alot of combinations. Also, I don’t think we accumulate TOS points? Are you talking about the “TP”? Don’t we only get a refresh of 5 everyday, non-stackable?
scarlet; hey~ thanks for the guide. It’s a nostalgia feeling for my friends and I to come back again, but everywhere we look its very outdated info or non at all. Coincidently saw your active participation '‘last edit’ yesterday and thought it’ll be a good opportunity to ask (:. Our friends are talking about instead of partying up to do dungeons, we now have to party up to complete EP12 and 13. Lmao.
Appreciate the help fellow TOS~ /no1
I was referring to this (it’s now a permanent feature):
This is targeted to endgame characters, but even at low level you can still accumulating coins by simply staying connected (300 per hour) or doing dungeons.
Ayooo, this is pretty neat. Getting coins to stayed online or just doing dungeons. @scarletred76 I think this is something notable to include in the returnee guide (as long as it is still active). Players can still get some decent items from the TOS NPC~. Tons of cards, card EXP, attribute points too, and even class voucher unlocked! ← is this unlocking it permanently? o-o
Yes, hidden class unlock is permanently unlock for that single character.
Will need another unlock if you created another character in your team.
Hello. Thank you so much for the guide. I am a returnee after 2-3? years and suddenly got amnesia with all updates so far. So many thing need for upgrade. Can’t say it’s a good thing, but anyway, thanks again.

I found this guide quite complete, it should be pinned somewhere. During the last days, there have been a lot of new players completely lost after starting the game and being immediately thrown to level 480 with a bunch of stuff they didn’t know what to do with. They try to find a guide but everything they find is outdated and doesn’t take into account the popo boost event (which is great, but will leave people who start after November 28th at loss vs those who started before – no idea why this event is not permanent).
What new players struggle with:
- how to get Blessed Shards to upgrade their stuff
- how to get Sierra Powder
Maybe mention how to get these in this guide?
