General Tips to Make Your Life Easier on Atlantica

I don't know about you, but my journey through Atlantica has been marked with several instances of "Crap, I wish I'd known that sooner". If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place.

I'll cut the useless babbling and jump straight into the heart of the topic: a list of things that I think (I hope) you will find useful. Enjoy!

Blessing

1. Don't buy a Blessing License from the market. You can extend your license for far less gold using Atlas Ore. As of late 2014, a 30-day Blessing License costs between 13 and 15 billion gold on the market. Extending your Blessing License with Atlas Ore (for 30 days) costs 150 Ore valued at an average of 63 to 65 million gold each, for a total of between 9.5 and 10 billion gold, saving you about 4 billion gold. Also, Atlas Ore is frequently on sale in the Item Mall, and if you can snatch some at a 50% discount you basically get your Blessing License for $7.50 instead of $15.


2. If you can't afford Blessing either with in-game gold or Item Mall credit, there's an alternative: the Momotaro quest. Each time you run the quest, you will receive a Mini Blessing Potion with 20 uses of Blessing. You need to use 2 charges to finish the quest, leaving you with 18 charges for your weekly TBS missions and difficult boss fights. Just reset the mission using Secrets of Time: Momotaro and you can get several Mini Blessing Potions.

Teleport

3.You can teleport right to the entrance of a TBS mission. Just type the mission's name in the search box in the Field section of your encyclopedia, hit Teleport and voilĂ ! Right to the NPC.

4. The Allied Teleport License allows you to "simulate" a regular Teleportation License for far less gold, but it comes with a few inconvenients (mostly, you need a buddy in a convenient location).. It is on sale at a fixed price on the market; for a few million gold, you can enjoy unlimited teleporting to your friends, party members and nation members for a period of 7 or 14 days. It carries the same restriction as regular teleportation: you need to have been on the map before, and you need enough will. With the new remote quest turn-in, this becomes a viable option for Warrior Pack-less players. Just ask in nation chat if someone is in a certain area and you can teleport right to them.

Auto-Battle

5. In skirmish areas, your mercs will keep auto-battling even if they run out of mana! They won't use active or passive skills with no mana though.

Looting

6. You can have up to 3 different search robots at once, which means faster looting. I find this useful in dungeons where I struggle to kill fast and lose my loot, especially if it's an event dungeon or an item looting quest. There are currently 5 types of search robots, and some of them have different abilities:
  • Search Robot : Regular search robot that comes with the Warrior Package and Event Package
  • Search Song-i: Loots behind enemy lines (found in some Item Mall random boxes)
  • Research Raccoon: Increases your chance of receiving monster info (found in some Item Mall random boxes)
  • Assault Search Soldier: Helps you fight enemies and loots (found in some Item Mall random boxes)
  • Mr. Turkey: No special ability besides looting (special Thanksgiving item)
Daily Quests

7. The Legion patch introduced a new set of daily quests, the Legion Storage Expansion quests. Each quest can be done daily and rewards you with a Comrade Emblem that can be used to upgrade your Legion storage room. However, unlike other daily quests, it counts towards your diary for TBS points! If you're feeling lazy (as I often do), just do 3 quick quests from NPC Mr. Camaraderie and you've cleared your dailies for TBS points. I like any 3 of:
  • Sharing the News - Share Monster Info x5: Can be done at any time
  • Magical Exploits - Use Any Magic x25: Can be done during your daily competitions
  • The Nearness of You - Observe Other's Battle x1: Can be done between your 2 daily competitions
  • The Empty Spaces - Fight with 2 Mercenaries Disabled x5: Can be done during your daily individual dungeon
