Developed by Hotta Studios and published by Level Infinite, tower of fantasy is an open-world MMORPG that features a beautiful anime art style. There aren’t a lot of anime-themed MMO games on the market, so this one definitely shoots up to the top in this genre.
The game starts you on the planet of Aida where the human race has taken shelter because they couldn’t save Earth. But, being greedy and ambitious as humanity is, they tried to abuse the materials on this planet, which lead to disastrous effects. Just like every MMO, this game can be quite overwhelming at the start, even though the developers have done a great job at keeping things simple.
10 Select Less Busy Servers
While this is a basic tip for people who have experience with MMOs, a lot of players are trying this genre for the first time with Tower Of Fantasy. When you log in to the game, you can customize your own character, and select your region and server from the starting screen.
The choice of server is important, as this can impact your immersion in the game. Try your best to go for the servers with a green colored circle beside them. This means that the server is mostly free. If you join a yellow or red server, there is a high chance that you’ll be waiting in queue for a long time.
There are certain instances where you’d want to go to one of these busy servers. For example, your favorite streamer could be on the server, and you can go meet them.
In any case, be aware that you’ll likely face a long queue every time you try to get in.
9 You Can Interact With Animals
Arguably one of the best decisions made by the developers was to let players interact with stray dogs and cats. They even gave a name to each one of them. While they’re rare to find, you can get close to one of these animals and press the Interact button.
This will take the screen closer to the respective animal. At this point, you can constantly tap on them to get a cute animation while they make cute dog and cat noises to absolutely melt your heart.
8 Look For Hidden Nucleus As You Go
Black, Gold, and Red Nucleus are the currency used for summons in Tower Of Fantasy. The banner for Black Nucleus doesn’t have any mercy/pity system, so they’re very common in the world. On the other hand, Gold Nucleus are harder to find and there’s hardly any way to find Red ones in the open world.
Black Nucleus are spread across the world, and they’re marked with distinct symbols on the map. make sure you claim them all as fast as you can, as some of them actually have a chance to reset. As you’re exploring, you can also come across some Gold Nucleus that are used on the Standard Banner with pity system.
7 There Are Multiple Ways To Prevent Fall Damage
Turns out your character’s legs, are highly vulnerable to fall damage in ToF. You can take damage by falling from a very small height. As minimal as it is, this can be very annoying for people who like to keep things in order. However, there are quite a few ways to avoid fall damage.
-
there is a
double jump
in the game, so whenever you reach close to the ground, you can
simply press the jump button
to negate all the falling distance and avoid damage. -
All the weapons can be used to attack in the air, but this requires stamina. If you have some leftover stamina, you can just
normally attack with your weapon as you get close to the ground
. -
You can perform up to three dodges at a time in Tower Of Fantasy.
Use the dodge when you’re close to the ground
to avoid fall damage once again.
6 Look Out For Goodies In Open-World
Nucleus puzzles aren’t the only exploration item in the game. there are different kinds of chests scattered all across the map that aren’t marked like the Nucleus puzzles. To find these, you need to rely purely on your exploration skills, or outside help.
Further, there are some lockers, drawers, closets, etc. that can be searched when you get close to them. Usually, these would drop nothing, but they have a chance of dropping rare items.
5 Use Relics Sparingly
Relics are special items that you can equip, and they’ll heavily aid you in battle, exploration, and quests. You have two relic spots at the start, and you unlock a jetpack at the beginning of the game. Most of the relics have a huge cooldown to them.
For example, the jetpack has two charges, and it goes on an almost two-minute cooldown if they’re used up. So, make sure you use your relics only when you need them the most. These can be upgraded using relic crates to make them more viable and easier to use.
4 You Can See The Unclaimed Chests
The developers have made it easier to track your exploration progress, so you don’t have to run around aimlessly without a clue of where you missed that final chest to get 100 percent exploration. When you open the map, you can click on an enemy stronghold to get this information.
Once you do that, a dialog box will appear where you’ll be able to see if you’ve claimed the chest at that stronghold at the bottom. the stronghold mark also grays out when you acquire the chestso that’s another way to keep track.
3 You Can Test Out Different Simulation
Once you reach a certain point in the story, you’ll unlock story quests where you’ll embark on a journey to retrieve the lost data of the SSR Simulacra. The only way to acquire these characters in the game is by summoning them and getting lucky, unless you’re rich.
Thankfully, there is a way you can test out these Simulacra with their weapons, and that’s through the story quests. Head over to the character screen and click on Simulacra. Here, you’ll find an option called Story on the left where you can access their quests.
As you progress in the story, more and more quests unlock allowing you to test out all the SSR characters, possibly including the new ones that will be released over time.
two It’s Possible To Pin Points Of Interest
While pinning a point of interest is a general mechanic in open-world games, it can be extremely easy to miss this in Tower Of Fantasy. Unlike other games, this game doesn’t really tell you how to pin areas on the map, nor does it make it obvious in any way.
To pin a certain location, head over to your map after making sure you’re safe and nothing will attack you. Here, press the arrow on the right side of the screen. When you have this arrow open, press anywhere on the map to open the pin menu.
Here, you can select the kind of pin you want and write a short description for it. The description has to be super small though, as the game only allows a few characters in that box. You can place a total of 99 pins on the map overall.
1 Daily Activities Are Necessary
Upon reaching a certain part of the story, you’ll unlock all the mechanics that you can repeat daily to get a decent amount of rewards. Thankfully, Tower of Fantasy has a lot to do even after you’ve spent the main energy acquiring different items.
Your daily mechanics will usually consist of Sign-in, Mia’s Kitchen, and Daily Bounty. You can also progress in World Exploration and finish ruins, but these aren’t limited, as long as you have enough energy and time for them.
