I don't completely agree with all the facts this person posts but he or she's an okay source. There's a part one and two.

I do suffer the same stuff from the wiki. Maybe ad block? I'll be your info seeker for you though. You can also google the info.

•When do I get to brutally murder and sacrifice my duplicate swords for resources?
You know where you smith? There's a tab option under it that lets you trade swords for resources. The amount you get really isn't worth it too much so my recommendation is to use it to refine your swords. . ~ .
Dismantle:

Refine:


•Do I have to pay actual $ to send out more than one group on an expedition?
No! biggrin You can send multiple groups when you earn them. You can't send out your primary party though. You earn more by completing different tasks.

•When will this game stop sacrificing sword children to send out in to battle?
You'd have to specify what you're asking. Do you mean drops? Do you mean using swords in your party?

•Why is everyone thirsty for Jiji?
Rarest sword to get in the game.

•Where is the nearest exit from sword boy hell?
... Exit? I'm sorry, we don't have any of those.

Tips 'cause tips: Please don't KBC your first maps early in the game like I did. It makes it inconvenient to lvl up. KBC/Kebiishi (if you don't know) are these strong guys that randomly appear on the map and will wreck you if any of your swords are above lvl 10 and you aren't ready for them. To avoid spawning, don't go to a previously finished area and grind the same stage COMPLETELY. You can grind it but don't go to the boss. He'll trigger KBC after you do it a certain amount of time. The way you know you've triggered it is some samurai dude with lightning and a dragon marked on your map.

*The good thing about KBCs is the drops. There are some swords that you can only get from them. If you're hunting them they aren't really good in the first two eras 'cause their appearance rate is low. Still you can run into them so don't not expect them.

Let me know if you want further details.

(Images and info pretty much from the wiki)

there is a subforum for touranbu tutorials currently on construction, maybe when its up you can get some tips there! smile



answers to your questions:
1. our sword hold is only up to 50 swords (unless you have a card and can purchase extra slots in the shop) once we reah that capacity we are unable to collect drops and obtain smithed swords. destroying swords is a good way of freeing slots but only receives little amount of resources.
yes you may refine but ONCE YOUR SWORD REACHES TOKU LEVEL its stats will reset
(i will post a tutorial of this soon)

2.no you dont have to spend $ on expiditions, but your main team wont be able to do them. just your second, third and fourth team.

3.the tantou sword children? i dont think the game will stop let us cry together

4. Jiji is the highest rare sword in the game. I was able to get him but once you have him it is just like receiving any tachi sword smile

5. what is an exit?

Thank you. Both. If I could tip posts in guilds i would.

I should honestly get some index cards for this game. to store information i'm prone to forgetting easily.

I'm really terrible in tactical games but I always get addicted to those and wonder why I am terrible at the game.

I haven't hit th 1:30:00 hell yet I am sorry that I cannot feel the same agony as the rest of you.

Someone should totally make a Touken Ranbu 101... Just not me. I'm a terrible teacher.

I am using everything I have learned and I tried so hard to keep my friend who I have sucked in to sword boy hell to make the same mistakes I did and she did made them anyway.

I do look forward to seeing all the nice tutorials. the ones up so far are very detail oriented. I love it. I learned a lot that I didn't know.

Do take your time I know it takes a lot of work to get something sorted out and explained with such fine details.
