FAQ

See a recording of the livestream tutorial from 2015/04/18 here (1:43:00 - 3:05:00).

How come I am unable to play, even after registering?
All 9 servers are currently full. Since players are unable to exit or switch between servers, it would mean that you can only play after new servers are added. Constantly refreshing the page would not work as no players can exit for you to take their place.

Currently, the next server expansion is planned for April 24th, 2015. Please continually check the Recent Updates page for the latest news.

Why does it say I'm from the wrong region?
Touken Ranbu can usually only be played from within Japan. This can be bypassed, however, by following the steps on the Proxy Connection and Troubleshooting page.

What is the difference between the swords?
As of now, there are currently 7 different types of swords.

What do each of the stats mean?
In common terms, the stats are, from left to right on each sword's infobox in-game, HP-attack-defense-speed-critical-awakening-scouting-camouflage. Please see the Combat Mechanism page for more details.

The background of my sword is orange/red and there's a sad face. Why?
You have sent out your troops onto too many sorties and they are now fatigued. Swords that are fatigued run the risk of breaking in battle even when they only suffer from medium damage. They will naturally recover over time if they are not sent into battle. For more information, see the Fatigue page.

How do I gain more resources?
Your resources will regenerate naturally at the rate of 3 resources per 3 minutes, until the max amount of resources that you can naturally regenerate is reached. The max amount of resources that you can regenerate to scales with your level. Alternate methods to gain more resources would be to do Missions, Expeditions or from the Front Lines. Resources can also be purchased with DMM points in the Shop.

How do I unlock the second, third and fourth party?
Make a six-sword party for the second party, clear Sortie 2-4 for the third, and clear Expedition 4-4 for the fourth. You will need to receive the rewards by completing their respective Missions.

How do I unlock Expeditions?
You must have a second party unlocked to go on Expeditions. To do so, complete the Mission that requires you to form a complete team of 6 swords.

What time does the in-game day change at?
(GMT+9) 5:00 a.m. The list reset for the PVP (演練) mode is at 3 p.m. and 3 a.m..

How come I did not get my sword when I'm pretty sure it was a drop?
Many people confuse a drop with a sword reaching their toku (特) level. In both the events of obtaining a sword drop and having your sword reach the toku level, the cut-in scene occurs, for any type of sword. You may check the toku level of your sword in the Characters page, under the Rank Up column. The distinct difference in the cut-in scene is that a pink stamp with 特 appears for swords reaching the toku level, and does not appear for a normal drop. Hence, there is no extra sword. In other cases, your sword inventory may be full, so do check that and your game Inbox as well.

What does it mean if lightning and a silhouette appears after I clear a map?
Sometimes after clearing a particular map's boss node multiple times, Kebiishi will spawn on that map. Kebiishi are typically more powerful than usual enemies. Afterwards, the battlefield will be marked with a purple icon when selecting it from the Front Lines menu. While traveling on an infested battlefield, every enemy node encounter has a chance of spawning the Kebiishi instead of the normal enemy pattern. For more information, see the Kebiishi page.

How do I add or change major content on a page?
You should go to the Suggestion page. If you want to change/edit content in pages, it is highly recommended to start a discussion there to avoid confusion, prevent edit-wars, etc. The same goes if you want to add some information but you had trouble with the editing or can't do it by yourself. You can freely add, change, or delete content, but please discuss major changes with other contributors first.
