-=~*Cait's Trickster Hints, Tips, and Tricks*~=-

Just a mini guide i wrote to some of the more uncommonly known things.. usefull for beginners I suppose x3

Suggestions, Comments, Revisions, Other things to add.. just post em here..

Enjoy~~

-Press Spacebar to hide shops. Can help reduce some lag in mego. Also if someone has a shop in front of Andrew in the bank, it will let you click on him.

-Press ALT to show the names of items on the ground / some monsters(level)

-You gain Base EXP if you detect that the ground youre digging in does not have an item (squiggle appears).

-You gain TM EXP and Base EXP from drilling if you get an item.

-You get Base EXP if you get no signs of detection and item from the drill.

-You can close the chat window by pressing the upsidedown blue triangle at the end of the white box you type in.

-You can move the chat window around the screen if you click to the bottom left of that upsidedown blue triangle.

-If you close your chat window, you can get it back by pressing enter!

-You can block someone from whispering you by right clicking their name in the Whisper box and hitting Block Whisper

-In Paradise, if you forget to take your lifejacket off and need to comp it, cancel the quest by clicking Quest, then the red [X]. Talk to nate again, and you can comp it.

-You can have a longer mycamp name if you set the mycamp name from inside the camp.

-You can see where a guildmember or someone on your friends list is by right clicking their name and hitting View Info.

-If you view info someone while on the same map, a face icon flashes on the mini map where their location is exactly. If they are in a mycamp, that location is generally wrong.

-You can see exactly how much EXP / TM EXP you have by mousing over your Level or TM level in the myview pane.

-You can see the stats of an item you exchange for (and eggshop) by right clicking the title in the exchange window.

-You can see the date you got your first boss seal by mousing over the boss seal in the boss seal window.

-You can change how your skill window is arranged by clicking the arrow in the top right of the skill window.

-You can change your CTRL+1, CTRL+2, etc. text by typing /Register 1 TEXT (R must be capitalized)

-You can see what you have registered by typing /Macro

-You can tell what time it is (ingame time) by typing /Time

-You can tell what depth the soil is by typing /Depth

-There is a limit to how many friends you can have on your friends list.

-There is a 300 item limit which includes cards.

-There is a limit to how many myshop items you can have in your myshop inventory.

-There is a limit to how much galder you can carry. (2.1bil)

-You can teleport to Spicy Island to buy Gao drills by going to Caballa dungeon Weird Box and selecting "Disaster". Make sure you have a wing/ppd because you cant port back! Other choices will port you to other places.

-There is a myshop item that allows you to access your bank from your mycamp. It's cheap, lasts a year, and is definately worth it.

-You can see your times for your monster quests by opening your quest log and hitting View.

-You can also see what run you are on on party quests the same way.

-If you've never played a sense character, it might be worth it just to see how items are placed in the ground using basic detection. After 15 months of playing trickster I finally tried basic detection, and it has totally changed my drilling habits. The following picture is an example.

-Items are buried mainly in rows throughout the middle of the map.. and randomly around the edges of the map and objects.

-Depending on what drill you use, it uses your drill up faster.. and MIGHT even change what item you drill up. (not 100% prooven)

-DA equips increases your rate of success when compounding things. (through Compounder Paul, Blacksmith Marx in the mines, etc)

-LK equips SUPPOSIDLY increase the range of compounds you can get when compounding things to your equips. (For ex: if you have 0 LK and you wanna comp something AP with a range of 20-50, you will most likely get min or 1 off of min. The more LK you have, the better change you will get something other than min.) (Note: this tactic isnt 100% prooven, use at your own risk)

-If you press "O" (while not having the cursor in the text box) you can access a variety of options, including blocking whispers, memos, sound effects, pet voices, etc.

-If you are playing Trickster windowed mode and the bottom of your screen is messed up, change your Trickster resolution or your computers resolution to fix it... Or just use fullscreen.

-To take a screenshot, just press "Prt Scr". Trickster Automatically saves it to Trickster\capture.. Usually C:\Program Files\Trickster\capture

-If someone sends you a memo and you wanna read it later or accidently close it, they are temporarily saved.. Click the envelope next to the smily face near your chat box.

-You can play O/X with random people in the game in Paradise by typing /answer O or /answer X (the a in answer must be lowercase)

-If you need to PM someone but their name is hard to type, right click them and hit Enroll Whisper... it automatically puts their name in the whisper box.

-You can join someones guild by right clicking them, guild info, apply.

-You can change the opacity of the minimap (how see-through it is) by clicking the Little "A" near the sun/moon picture.

-If the screen is too dark to see at nighttime, turn up the brightness on your monitor.. POOF you can see a bit better!

-You can start a Card Battle invitation by typing /Card [TEXT]

-Theres a pretty much completel list of all the /Commands by typing /?

-If you type /is [PLAYERNAME] you can see if they are online or not.

-If you type /Map you can see what map you're on.

-You can type in guild chat from the All windows by typing /guild [WHATEVER]

-If you have a microphone you can use it by typing /Microphone [MESSAGE]

-You get experience based upon how much damage you do to the monster. (Monster must be over your level)(Overkill exp doesnt count)[So this means the optimum training would be to kill a monster close to your level thats easy to kill with a LOT of HP]

-While standing, you can turn the direction you are facing without walking by holding the Left shift button. For some reason this does not work with the right one. 

-Just for fun you can slide in places such as meg shop by pushing page down while running down if you time it right.

-If you have a emotion such as /angry as a macro you can do that emotion while sliding by running and pushing crtl + (#) at same time

-There is no way to switch between windowed and fullscreen while ingame.

-You can close the whisper box by pressing ctrl+tab 

-If you're on 800x600 resolution, you'll have  a smaller maximum character limit than if you were on the 1024 resolution.

-If you're having a hard time seeing at nighttime, turn the brightness up on your monitor, you can instantly see again!

Cool thread, might be useful!

There was one that I didn't know. You can have an item to access your bank from Mycamp? Wow.

Also, one thing came to my mind while reading: maybe you could add that you get Chat Window back by hitting Enter? I think many people have asked that in forums before.

Yes, and there's 3 or 4 different threads that tell that, like the FAQs thread.  You could probably have every active member put that in their siggy and people would still post asking about it.  v__v

Ohhh

Yeah i forgot about that one XD

*added*

 

Even though I am most certinly not new...I still managed to learn a few things from this, just wanted to say thank you for making this, for both anyone and espically new people

 

Also a couple more things

While standing, you can turn the direction you are facing without walking by holding the Left shift button.  For some reason this does not work with the right one.

(my walking shop doesnt work anymore, i made it a year ago about)

blue walking msg removed due to later post ***

(shame myshop txt doesnt seem to work anymore :(  )

just for fun you can slide in places such as meg shop by pushing page down while running down if you time it right

if you have a emotion such as /angry  as a macro you can do that emotion while sliding by running and pushing crtl + (#) at same time

cloneing requested to be left out****

 

but hope that also helps

 

TheCait:

-You get a little bit of EXP from drilling!

Rereading this thread, I caught that.  You get exp for drilling even if you don't dig anything up.  You get TM every time you successfully find something.  I think that gets overlooked a lot.  ;o

TheCait:

 

-DA equips increases your rate of success when mature compounding things.

Maturing Compound? DA? In this base, this would be called another theory. The only thing I know what DA boosts is the digging confirmation (light bulb/squiggles), DA-based skills(mostly senses) AND Intermediate Compound along with Basic Compound (Nadia and Paul, respectively).

And about the drilling EXP.

You gain Base EXP if you detect that the ground your digging does not have an item (squiggle appears). You gain TM EXP and Base EXP from drilling if you get an item. You get Base EXP if you get no signs of detection and item from the drill.

Er..

I made this guide while I was offline so I couldnt look stuff up for sure..

 

 

I couldnt remember if Compounder paul / Marx mines was called mature compounding.. or if nate was called compounding.... so i assumed it was paul XD

Ok, so i fixed it...

...added some other stuff you guys suggested....

 

and I didn't add 

-cloning

-moving w/ notice up

 

Because it might be considered bug abuse...

....and think about it.. do you /really/ want everyone walking around at O/X with moving notices.. and everyone getting card battled? Prooobably not XD

 

 

acutally I don't mind the walking but since there sitting I don't think that you will get the notice if they aren't standing but I will remove those from my last post then

 

Edit*

removed the "how to" on those

 

anyway why did they remove txt and memo chatting (i think both) from myshop?  Was that really so bad to have or just too convinent?

Great guide ;3.

The drilling stuff helped me out a lot.
