[Updated Nov 12th 2015] Tears of Destiny's General Guide For New Players

[Orchid101]

Being called a digital subscriber seems quite flattering compared to the former! Thanks!

And Xant, you got it all wrong man. The insult is clearly aimed at 9-to-5 desk suckers!

[Infestage]

I thank you ToD for extensive work on behalf of newbs I like to think that I do not fall in that category, however, I did find your guide to be very useful
thank you

with humble regard, Infestage
HOLD FAST

Perhaps this kind of info is here in the guide but I could not find it:

I was in a siege battle last night and people were referring to "Battalion Two" and hitting PP to see it.  At first I had no idea what they were talking about.  Then I was able to see the marker showing were the flag was located.

I'm just wondering what other kind of keystrokes/functions there are that I'm not aware of.  Perhaps could be a good addition to the guide if it's not already there.

After finals I'll give the guide an overhaul, was mainly waiting for the website layout to stabilize and it finally did.


Due to the marvelous Game Mechanic thread, my guide will be more conceptual and less "hard numbers." No need to say the same thing twice.


Thank you all oh so kindly for your help!

Heya)

Thanks for your great guide, it helped me a lot when I was new))) Please consider adding the teamspeak adress of Peasants United to the section called "II.) Experienced Players you can ask for advice". Peasants United is a clan for new players, the members are either beginners or trainers to help them to get good at cRPG.

Here it is:
teamspeak adress (Nditions > cRPG EU clans > PEASANTS UNITED): 62.104.20.250:10027

Thank you ^_^

thanks rico, thanks for idling in that ts adress. for the moment i am kind of inactive on ts, but we also have a IRC chat group wich works pretty good atm.

atm we have enough people to idle during the day, but as the NA base of trainers is rather small, we dont have any trainers online at night atm. it will change i hope

Add me to section 2 of your 3rd post for build planning and melee advice. After all this time I think I have a half-decent idea of what the hell I'm actually doing and because I'm constantly stalking this forum I might as well do some good while I'm here.

Was not sure of where to ask this. Can someone please explain heirloom points past level 31, titles, and how many heirloom points, you get by going beyond level 31?

[Falka]

On the character page it shows you the experience needed for the next level.

Level	Xp	Heirloom points	Title
31	8.735.843	1
32	17.784.806	2
33	37.332.277	3	Veteran
34	80.873.140	5	Master
35	180.977.644	8	Grandmaster
36	418.780.850	13	Legendary
37	1.003.125.954	21	?

Thanks a lot!

Good people, why in the name of hell I'm using a share account? I created an account. actually, it was already created but the game told me to log into that account called "Fallen_Reaktor" . Everyday somebody is creating a new character on the same account. That account is MINE or is a share account who is using it a lot of players? I change the password for nothing, the next day is a new one. And why "Fallen_Reaktor" ? I didn't choose this or use it.

[Pawlov]

Thanks 

One thing: You didn,t mention anything about custom banners.

Someone should go through this guide again and upload a version to MODDB. If no one else wants to I can start going through it getting it ready to post there.

I have a few questions, but don't want to start a new thread:
1. How do I keep improving after hitting a wall? It seems like I've learned what I could, and now can occasionally block an attack, and rarely chamber one. I try to play as much as I can, but I'm not getting any better, still quite shitey. I've never received any valour either. It seems like the biggest problem to me is the well-equipped players who one-hit me and I don't do any damage to them, I just can't really learn anything without a chance to actually learn. I thought about training in single player, but even the most difficult AI is predictable, unlike players.
2. How do I get good equipment while still earning good gold? Farming with cheap gear is less fun than already losing every fight, and using good gear only occasionally, when I can afford to upkeep it sounds even less fun.
3. Is there any way to turn Strat silver to cRPG gold? I don't really play Strategus as it's confusing to me, and have over 1k silver that I have no use for.
Seems like every other player is constantly getting better while I remain the noob I was
