Tower of Fantasy beginner’s guide, tips, and tricks

Tower of FantasyOpen-world MMORPG for Android, iOS and PC. Considered a direct rival to Genshin ImpactThe gacha-based system unlocks unique combat skills. There’s also a huge exploration aspect, so you’ll want to send your character searching for chests, solving puzzles, and taking down enemy strongholds.

Our Tower of Fantasy beginner’s guide provides tips and tricks the game doesn’t really explicitly tell you and which can help in the early game.

There’s a daily level cap

Each day is an opportunity to be in Tower of FantasyThe problem is that you cannot go further than you are able to before reaching a wall. Level 18 can be reached on Day One, while level 24 can be attained by day Two. The levels coincide with the chapters in your Wanderer’s Log, so you can check that to see how close you are to the next capping point.

That being said, once the daily reset time passes, you’ll be able to move on. There wasn’t much content until you reached level 20, so day one may be boring.

Daily server reset is at 5 AM EDT

Sign-in bonuses, daily bounty, and all other dailies are reset every morning at 5 AM EDT. If you hit a wall (as talked about above), wait until the reset time passes, after which you’ll be able to do more dailies and continue on leveling.

Simulcra is essentially skins. You can play however you wish.

As you use the in-game gacha system to unlock weapons and characters, you’ll notice that you don’t actually add the characters to your party the way you do in Genshin Impact You can also play other mobile games. Instead, you can activate the Simulacrum to use that character as an avatar, if you want, but it makes no stat difference and it’s all cosmetic.

As you give the characters gifts later on, you’ll also be able to unlock a “Simulacrum trait” that you can toggle, giving you various buffs depending on the character.

Make sure you use your mount

It’s easy to forget to mount up and ride around as you explore, since you spend so much time gliding and climbing. Riding your mount is significantly faster than sprinting, so make sure to take advantage of your mounts whenever you’re exploring.

Rectangle-, triangle-, and rectangular-shaped chests will respawn. Orb-shaped chests do not.

Tower of Fantasy offers many kinds of chests. You will be rewarded with gacha currency (Gold or Black Nucleus) and basic materials to upgrade items and make food. The rectangle and triangle-shaped chests reward EXP and reward basic materials.

The orb-shaped chests are obviously more important, as they’ll also reward Dark Crystals, the game’s premium currency.

You can finesse climbing the cliffs with double-jumping

If you’re struggling to scale a large cliff, you can essentially climb it infinitely without worrying much about stamina by letting go of the cliff, double-jumping, and then climbing the cliff again. Double-jumping should provide you with substantial air and allow you to increase your stamina.
