New player, lvl 55 already thinking about quitting

Grind Timerys till 315, card up + exploration to 330 (if you want)

Actually leveling is not the problem of ToS but the core issues still unfix and how stupid IMC handles IToS, weā€™re the forgotten child version of ToS :sparkles:

hi new player

please follow xan leveling guide to ease your pain

also consider doing most of the vibora monster kill quest for some money n equipments(drops)

all of us can see the game is dying, less new player joining n more veteran quiting.
Definitely not a healthy mmo u want u invest few thousands hours into it.

enjoy the game as it is for now before it becomes totally dead.

It was supposed to be like that T_T, now they turned the game into a cash milking browser game.

You play a role play game and wonder why not everything is spoon-fed to you (not meaning to offend you, but thatā€™s the genre)?
Normally you donā€™t get detailed introductions/tutorials in RPGs, because throwing you right into the action of a dire situation is the most effective way to make a game interesting.

You learn by doing (i.e. mainly travelling,questing and hunting) and not by going to a library and checking out all books on the topic beforehand. You are the Revelator (along with others) that has to save the world. And you want to quit your task simply because you lack money and equipment [watch Haiiro no Grimgar for reference]? If everyone gives up the world is doomed to die by the hands of the demonsā€¦

But yeah, aside from diving more into the lore, you canā€™t really expect anything. Learning is a basic element of the RP-genre, you learn and grow through experience [ e.g. the levling system/class system/skill system]; without it the game would be dead boring and basically become something like reading an adventure novel [i.e. basically the adventure genre] where you just have to puzzle the clues together to solve/understand and watch everything being solved for you.


Aside that, thereā€™s of course all the drama to us real-world humans with having problems with hardware/software/being overly judicial/etc.
But just blaming the game for ā€œbeing stuckā€ if you arenā€™t really stuck because the game offered you so many options you didnā€™t utilize. If you just do simple quests,you get EXP cards to use to level up whenever you feel that you lack the ā€œstrenghā€ to continue, and thereā€™s a not-too-shabby amount of them to help you. I managed to proceed my first character to over lvl 100 without even entering any instances, and it never felt really boring or stupid or whatever. It was fun just running around, trying to fend off the new monsters while exploring new maps and doing some sidequests.

Dropping gems also isnā€™t bad because you can just go where you died and recollect them, itā€™s done as easily as said.

About the weapon: you donā€™t need a better weapon. All you need for the 1st 130+ lvls is one weapon around lvl 40-75 with two gem sockets and 8 gems (two have to be red gems). You open the gem sockets at the blacksmith and level your two red gems to lvl 2. One red gem lvl 2 adds 60 maximum attack to your weapon, so having a weapon with 2 lvl 2 red gems increases your maximum attack by 120. That way your attack will skyrocket and you will basically 1-2 hit every monster until level 70+.

You can additionally get buffs from a pardoners buff shop to increase you damage further (currently a little buggy though), but thatā€™s optional as long as you have that gemmed weapon :slight_smile:

By the way, thereā€™s also the FAQ-section on the homepage [https://treeofsavior.com/FAQ/] to give you infos about the game you couldā€™ve read beforehand to playing and feeling miserably afterwards.

oh

let me just add this fact check before u decide to commit into tos

-fps issue
-class balance issue (get ready for broken build after wasting 1year farming equipment for your main because imc fix bugs)
-broken pvp/gvg system (random tbl n gvg exploits)
-rng/dpk/spawnrate for mats (bots monopoly all the mats)
-pay2win (cube items/token sell for millions etc)
-useless stat (current full dex/con meta)
-random dc in daily dungeon/mission/saalus/et

n still many more p2w coming like +potential anvil etc

if u ok with that, tos welcome u~

how tf can you not progress past 50~? you can almost literally be naked at that level and progressā€¦


anyways if you play on klaipeda you can msg me and I can try to help you out. I think new accounts have trade restrictions but if you donā€™t have such I can give you a few items. some low level eq is good for many levels. but yeahā€¦ in this game it punishes you for not knowing what you are doing and it is hard to fix those mistakes. tosbase is a decent website though I would not trust the build guides because you will get cancer from people who tell you to put points into spirit as an archer and ect. the two useful parts of that website to me are the list of classes and the simulators. the forums here are very very useful as well.

Pratically speaking, there isn;t much meaning in upgrading your equipment with anvil and such at an early level cause you will constently be given rather easily better equipment.

lolll /20 characters

Welcome to ToSā€¦ hope you enjoy this broken gameā€¦ at least for nowā€¦

I would only upgrade eq that gives you a good investment ( such as if you plan on playing many different characters) and only if you have the silver to spare. but you have to have a token ( tokens are this games version of premium benefits) if you wanna pass your items to other chars with team storage. also you have to put effort into increasing your team storage slots which will prob take you a few weeks. I guess newbies do have it hard but once you learn a bit and play a bit longer you will find you have a decent amount of silver for the things you need.

atm something that might be able to make you some silvers at around your level is to farm for the recipe for five hammer. google it and see what zone and what mob drops it. itā€™s one of the best low level weapons in the game because it has 5 gem slots. you gotta hope no one else is farming for it or you will have competition. takes maybe 1 or 2 hours to obtain. a common item I have farmed many times is the krausas mace. I sell it for about 280,000~ silvers but sometimes it takes several times before someone buys it. itā€™s pretty ez to farm and around your level range too.

you could also try farming the big red kepa, that some beech drops a recipe that some people would probably pay a decent amount of silver for. it is kind of painful to farm for though. took me a few weeks of casually attempting but maybe you could get lucky. the drop is called crimson leather armor recipe. it is one of the I think 3 recipes you need to complete the collection for in order to obtain 2 team storage slots.

Sidenote: Thatā€™s what I like about the incoming Orange Weapons, these mats canā€™t (or at least arenā€™t) farmed by bots. :smiley:

lol this thread

this takes me back to iCBT2ā€¦ i leveled past 50 without even knowing the dungeonsā€¦

i wasnā€™t even promoting TOS but got some friends interested and played itā€¦ one of them played til 78 without going to dungeonsā€¦ probably after a few days of playing (heā€™s working like me so limited playtime) and i was like ā€œwtf dude y u no ask me bout thisā€

well, going back to RO. you donā€™t have info just like TOS. Even job change is hard af and is a big pita (depending on the job). I lived it by almost always alt-tabbing with a browser opened to some job change quest guides.

Sorry to say, aside from ā€œspecial classesā€ like RC, Shinobi and Miko, the difficulty of job change in TOS is laughable compared to that of RO ā€“ and yet in TOS you have an advancement option that would automatically warp you to and fro the maps you needed. In RO you have none of that.

Should i make a thread like this in RO forums? :joy_cat:

My very first character I did not run a single dungeon until I was level 150 and thats because I wanted to try something new. I usually give more useful advices but seriously bro, git gud.
