17. RECYCLE

+ Recycling Ticket

+ Mileage Points

 

Available to everyone.

 

 

 

 

Recycling function is available in game.

 

 

 

 

However, it gives only Recycling Tickets in exchange for your recycled items.

Of course these Recycling Tickets could be to obtain useful scrolls.

 

 

 

Website recycle has the advantage of giving you option to recycle your recyclable items for mileage points (which you can use to subscribe for membership on the website and to buy mileage boxes from Mileage Shop).

 

 

 

1. For my White Dragon’s Horn, the mileage point value if I were to recycle it is 1.

2. It’s Recycling Ticket value is 2. If I were to recycle this item for ticket, 2 Recycling Tickets will be sent to my MyShop inventory.

3. If I were to click on the mileage recycle, the point will be added to my Mileage Point here on the website.

 

 

Items & pets that can be recycled:

Original MyShop items/pets from eTO

Most JP items/pets

Some KR items/pets

Some TH items/pet

Most custom rTO items (pets/wings/equipment)

Altiverse equipment = shows value of zero (0) for both Recycling Ticket and Mileage Point but if you clicked on them, they work. Mileage points will be added to your website, and Recycling Tickets will be sent to your MyShop inventory.

18. FUSE WING

Available to everyone.

 

 

 

 

Originally, this function was created because when we first introduced customised wings into the game, the fusion function with NPC Fusion Master Arlene in game refused to recognise wings as a cape item.

 

We first started introducing customised wings in December 2015 with the Red Santa Wings and Black Santa Wings. Players could not fuse their capes with these wings in game. To go around this difficulty, the FUSE WING function was implemented on the website.

 

However, this function requires that only original wings and original capes are used, either as stats or as image. If a skin cape or a skin wings were used, the resulting fused item would appear as Jan’s Bunny Cape in image. We (when I say “we”, I really mean “I”) don’t know how or why this happens!

 

 

Therefore, players who want to use this function must remember to use original wings/capes in the fusion.

 

Eventually, as time goes by, more customised wings were published in game. We don’t know for sure but somehow, some later wings could be fused by Arlene in game.

 

Therefore, players should try first and see if a wings could or could not be fused by Arlene. If she could not do it, then only you try using Fuse Wing function on website.

 

How to use:

 

 

1. Choose item as stat item -- > Select (Use this item stat.)

2. Choose item as image (Appearance Item) -- > drop down menu -- > click on item you want to use as image

3. Click on Select (Use this item for image) to proceed.

A prompt box will appear asking if you want to proceed.

If you are sure, click OK.

If not, click Cancel.

 

 

If you clicked Cancel, you will be brought back to the Fusion page selection again where you can start making your selection for stat and image item again.

4. Alternatively, you can click on “Back” to go back to Fusion page selection again.

 

 

 

This is my fused item now.

 

To de-fuse, you have to use Arlene in game.

 

 

 

After de-fusion, the stat item will revert to its original property.

The image item will become a skin item.

 

I do a 2^nd type of fusion just to test:

Stat item = Cape

Image item = wings

 

 

Then I de-fuse in game:

 

 

Always check the picture to see what does the appearance of the skin item would look like.

In the above de-fusion, my original image item (Valentine Fox wings) still appears like its original picture.

Therefore, I expect it to keep its image when it becomes skin, and not turn into Jan’s Bunny Cape image.

 

 

After the de-fusion, Valentine Fox Wings did indeed turn into skin item, but keeps its looks (not turning into Jan’s Bunny Cape), while of course losing all its stats.

The cape used for stat goes back to its original looks and stats.

19. PET HUNTER

+ Error 401

 

Available to everyone.

 

 

 

 

Pet Hunt function was published in our server in August 2018.

Please refer to this link on how to do pet hunt: http://board.playtri...-pet-item-hunt/

 

 

The Tricksterinfo link for pet hunt is here (which basically covers the same thing as the above link):  http://www.trickster..._Item_Hunt.html

 

 

It is advisable that you use Chrome instead of Firefox to open the pet hunt function on website. Sometimes, Firefox would show black space instead on the proper image on the pet hunt screen.

 

 

Make sure you use the correct pet level for the correct map.

 

 

Reminder: DO NOT make any change to your game account information (change/reset password or lock code) while you have a pet hunt ongoing on the website. This will result in a broken link, causing you to encounter Error 401.

 

If you encountered Error 401 when trying to get back your pet from hunting, please log off completely from that account, make a direct report to Aran’s forum inbox, and wait for your issue to be fixed. Do not log back in until you are informed that the issue is fixed.

 

When making your report, never forget to state the IGN of the char that has the problem.

How to unlock your Lock Code in game

 

Instead of unlocking only when you want to use the bank, warehouse, do trade, drop item, etc, why not unlock the Lock Code first by clicking on the padlock icon before you start doing anything else in game?

When you unlock by clicking directly on the padlock (see red arrow below), the Use Lock box will pop up. Then you just input the Lock Code and your lock will be opened.

 

 

 

When you do this, your lock is open the entirety of your game and you don't need to go through having to unlock every time you want to do a function in game such as using bank, warehouse, etc.

 

If you didn't do this, every time you want to open bank, warehouse, do trade, drop items, or NPC items, you will have to input your Lock Code all the time. This can get quite tedious.

 

If you forgot to unlock the padlock at the beginning, you will be asked to open your lock whenever you do a function such as opening your bank. Please tick on the Open Lock box to keep your lock open thereafter.

If you encounter gibberish box

+ When Trickster.exe is deleted by your antivirus

+ How to put TO folder under exclusion list in Windows Defender/Windows Security

 

Ref: http://board.playtri...e-6#entry104033

 

If you didn't put your TO folder under exemption/exclusion/allowed list in your antivirus, you may eventually encounter this problem when launching your game:

 

 

If you were a tech noob like me, you would be dumbfounded by this.

 

I solved this issue simply by deleting my TO folder (save the "Capture" subfolder first so as not to lose screenshots from the game), redownloaded the game and follow the installation instruction * again.

 

You would now be able to launch the game again.

 

Always put the game folder under exemption/exclusion/allowed list in your antivirus, including under Windows Defender/Windows Security. Antivirus software may not be able to recognise TO game files and think it is a virus and thereby delete its Trickster.exe to stop it from executing. This will cause the above gibberish box to appear and you won't be able to launch your game.

 

Note: To those expert in technical stuff, you can ignore this method from me because you probably can find other ways to solve this problem.

Cleaning up junk files from incomplete/failed Windows updates to make your computer runs better

 

I want to share a recent experience I have regarding Windows update with tech noobs in this forum. Tech experts probably know this, so they don’t need any tech advice or info-sharing from me.

 

Recently I got a notification that Windows update version 2004 is available for download and installation on my computer. This is a major update, which of course means nothing to me, because to tech noobs, an update is an update.

 

So I downloaded it and installed it. This takes quite a bit of time.

 

But afterwards, I got the blue screen, and then a notification that the installation has failed.

 

 

 

 

Then I googled about Windows update version 2004, and saw that indeed, people with older computers and older drivers may run into problem when trying to install this version.

 

I thought I should delete the files from the failed installation from my computer. So I got this link that gives instructions about how to do it:

 

https://answers.micr...Download folder.

 

 

Basically, it says to delete files in two places:

 

1. Software Distribution Download folder

2. Temp folder

 

 

Instructions:

 

To view hidden files (no need to do this part if your hidden files are already on show):

File Explorer -- > View -- > Folder Options -- > Show hidden files/folder/drives -- > Apply

 

Go to Software Distribution Download folder:

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download -- > delete all content of folder

 

Go to Temp folder:

C:\Users > username > AppData > Local > Temp -- > delete all content of folder

 

Go to Recycle Bin -- > Right-click -- > Empty Recycle Bin.

 

I managed to delete about 9 gigabytes of junks from deleting the above stuff from my Recycle Bin.

 

Afterwards, I found that my computer runs faster, and my Internet router that used to have trouble connecting to the Internet does not have any problem at all connecting, and things like web page upload and game launch also run much faster.

 

Perhaps you could do the above as well to clean up your computer from junk files created by Windows update.

Forum account ~ changing your name, password, or email

Added 2020-07-12

 

You cannot change your display name, login name, password, or email for your forum account.

If you want to change these information, you need to contact me (Aran) by directly contacting me through my Facebook inbox or through Discord.

I get messages of people saying, “I changed my forum password but I do not get validation email.”

You will not get any email, because you cannot change your password by yourself.

We have disabled automatic functions because of spam bots and advertisers.

Also, we do not encourage people to change their display name unless they have used their game account username or password as their forum name or other similar reason.

For continuity of identification purpose, those with established presence in the forum are discouraged to have their names changed.

We basically want to know who’s who in the forum, and changing your names would disrupt that.

Ban Matters

Added 2020-07-12

 

The end date of ban stated on the ban notice is NOT VALID.

There is no automatic unbanning.

If you were banned, you can appeal for unbanning by contacting me (Aran) or whoever the current admin is or would be.

Ban can happen for many reasons such as botting (using 3^rd party app, macros, or program to auto-play your char while you are actually not playing live), bug abuse, trading game items/accounts for real money, etc.

Banning and unbanning is at the total discretion of Game Master.

As stated in game rules, ban for botting is permanent.

 

 

Therefore, when mods or other players are suspicious of you and do a bot check on you by talking to you or sending whispers/messages, please respond to show that you are live.

When you don’t respond, you could be assumed to be botting your char.

Botting is a serious offence because of its interfering effects on the game running (which can cause malfunctions such as game lag, crashes, bugs), plus its unfairness to other players.

Thus, please DO NOT BOT.

MyShop Inventory

Added 2020-07-12

 

MyShop inventory can carry only a maximum of 300 items (sometimes less if it is filled with items from JP, KR, or TH servers mixed in together.

When you smelt equipment to get fusion box (which may contain akuaregias needed for slot expansion), the boxes will be sent to your Myshop inventory.

These boxes do not stack up.

So they can occupy a lot of slots if you do not take them out from your MyShop inventory.

Make sure you take out items from your MyShop inventory.

If you overloaded your MyShop inventory, the items inside there will disappear and your MyShop inventory will be bugged and cannot be used anymore.

The only way to de-bug your MyShop inventory is to delete all the items inside it.

These items cannot be retrieved and you will never get them back.

Therefore, always keep your MyShop inventory as clean as possible.

How to go to Battle Arena?

Added 2020-07-12

 

Battle Arena is the map where Ed (several of him) can be found and you can hunt him to get drops. One of the possible drops is Rare Chaos Box which contains akuaregia.

To go to Battle Arena, go to Event Garden -- > talk to Assistant Hunter Poppuri.

He will not ask you to give him anything as an entrance token.

 

 

 

 

He will send you to Event Hall Colosseum.

[When I took this screenshot, I didn’t realise someone was standing next to me. Who is that?]

 

 

 

Talk to King Poppuri.

 

 

 

He will send you to Battle Arena where several Eds are located.

 

 

 

Make sure you have strong defence.

Ed is brutal!!

How to go to the Battlefields?

Added 2020-07-12

 

If you want to go to the Battlefield of the Desert and Battlefield of Garden, talk to Warrior Poppuri.

You will have to pay 1000 galders as fee to go to either of these places.

 

 

 

Alternatively, you can also go from the original way, by talking to Bunny Maid in Event Garden.

She will ask you to give her Pink Potion A as entrance token.

 

 

 

She will send you to Colosseum Waiting room.

There, you talk to Rosemary to go to the battlefields.

How to post images in forum

Added 2020-07-12

 

Here is a link on how to post images to this forum: http://board.playtrickster.com/index.php?/topic/9443-uploading-photos-on-the-forums/

This link is old, therefore most of the pictures in it are gone because they were posted using platforms that no longer work now such as Tinypic.

But you still can refer to it to give you a general understanding of how to post images to this forum.

 

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

 

For me, I personally use Discord to upload images first to get a URL/link.

In the past, I have used Tinypic and Puush but both of these don’t work for me anymore.

The necessary thing is that the image/picture/photo you want to post to the forum has a URL or link. You just need the picture’s link to be able to post images to forum.

For Discord to work, you need to download the Discord app: https://discord.com/new

If you just open Discord on your browser, I find that you will not be able to get a usable link for use to post the image to the forum.

So use the Discord app.

 

Steps:

1. Upload the image onto a channel on your Discord.

For me, Keyos made a channel under our Mod Discord group, and that’s where I upload my images.

 

To upload image, you can use Snipping Tool or Snip & Sketch (these are found on Windows).

Then copy/paste the image onto the Discord channel.

Here is an example of an image I have uploaded to the aran-screenshots channel.

 

 

2. Right-click on the image to get the link.

When you right-click on it, this box will appear:

 

 

 

3. Click on “Copy Link” to get the link for that image.

 

4. Go to the forum where you want to post your image. Click on the Image icon.

 

 

5. When you click on that Image icon, this box will appear:

Paste the image link that you have copied earlier onto the URL slot.

 

6. And voila! There’s your image!

Click “Post” and it will be posted to the forum.

 

The good thing about using Discord to post images is that the images don’t disappear.

I hope Discord will not change its operating policies & procedures in the future to mess with this.

Puush used to be so good, but they changed their policies and they took down images after a while, causing images to disappear from forum if original images were posted on Puush.

I have tested by actually deleting the original image I posted on Discord to see if the image in forum disappear or not.

So far, the image does not disappear in forum even if the original image were deleted in Discord.

I hope this will stay like this forever so that we don’t have to worry about images disappearing in forum.

Where is the server located?

Added 2020-07-12

 

For those who use VPN and wants to set their IP for ping purposes (please don’t ask me about this because I don’t know anything about ping and stuff), the game server is located in Montreal, Canada.
