Loads of Dofus Tips and Tricks Worth Knowing!

[@Razman.99]

Casual plug for how friendly Ben's community is. Thanks for the vid.

[@Benjamight]

Thanks Neal, that means a lot. :-)

[@xdxuxkx]

I completely understand how Dofus is a tad too niche to make it your entire channel, but man do I love your Dofus content

[@Benjamight]

Thank you Xdxuxkx, I really appreciate that. I've decided I'm going to make both Dofus & FF XIV content for the channel... it will obviously be very heavily slanted towards Dofus for a while since I have very little FF experience right now, but hopefully in time the channel will be a nice resource for both games/players. :-)

[@dragonick18]

Bottom bar spells and items can be used with Ctrl + number. Careful if you're more of a keyboard user and have recall potions, don't want to randomly teleport at any time. Ankama should definitely do a "Featured Dofus KZbinr" section or something, the video quality and production would help so many new and returning players.

[@Benjamight]

Thanks Nicholas - you're right... I remember accidently hitting that recall potion all the time because I had it next to the mount whistle (old school quick way of getting on/off mount)... so annoying...lol. Appreciate your feedback very much.

[@jonhall5659]

the multi auto log tip just saves so much time thank you!.

[@Benjamight]

You're very welcome! That was a game changer for me too - so glad I could help.

[@fernsly525]

Oh man I did not know about the market price change tip! That's so helpful, I always get bored clicking through every item to change it.

[@Benjamight]

That's awesome Flickering... I played MANY years too changing them 1 at a time - learning that trick has freed up so much time it's not even funny...lol.

[@angeltt4390]

Awesome! Thank you for the info about the Launcher account adding. I've been trying to work that part out for months! Only knew about the Settings option for "optimize for multi-accounting"

[@Benjamight]

That's awesome Angel! Yeah, when I found about the multi-logging, it made hopping into Dofus SOOOO much easier! Very happy I was able to help with that.

Favorite Tip: The equipment comparison of stats. Makes it easy to know if what you're buying is worth it for the stats and if you can sell it for a certain price. 1. Click p on your keyboard to show people names on the map including their alliance. That way you don't have to hover over every character with your mouse. 2. Go to option menu top right corner, under performance select low quality, then set limit to creature mode to 0 so you lag less while moving around on a big team or on crowded maps. 3. Open friends list, have each other mutually added so you can see what area they're also in, and click on the sword icon right hand side to watch their fight as long spectator mode is not disabled from their end. 4. If you want to watch Kolossium fights from all servers whether it's 1 v 1 or 3 v 3.. take Cania Massif Zaap at [-13, -28], go one up, enter the building, and click on the spectator eye to see hundreds of fights in progress. 5. If someone kills your Perc or Prism while defending, your whole team loses the fight automatically. 6. When you're in an alliance that owns Imp Village territory (In Cania Massif), you have access to all imp carrier balloons, and can use the Imps Village zaap as your recall saved home option to teleport easier after running right. Same goes for Abandoned Labowatowies territory (Cawwot Island) by being able to use all Drills whether they are in mines or outside. 7. All treasure and portal hunt clues are no farther than 10 maps from your last clue. If you go farther than that or don't stay in a linear path, you are going the wrong direction. 8. Erosion in fights are naturally 10% whatever spells you use to attack an enemy. Applying 40% erosion through a combination of spells on the target makes you reach the max cap at 50%. Anything more than that gets cancelled out. 9. Portal Dimensions have special dungeon mechanics with a cyclic multiplier in the fight and you only have 1 room to fight in but 5 waves as if you were fighting your usual 5 room dungeons. Every 5 turns, a new wave will appear if you're too slow to kill the current one OR if you finish the wave early. 9. If you're a Sacrier and died from a fight, save bread by challenging your own character or someone else's. Cast the spell Berserk and leave the fight so you have full health again. 10. You cannot collect your Perceptor even when you have the rights if you relog on the same map. You will have to walk off the map or use a new key if it's in a dungeon. 11. You can no longer place a perceptor on the same map straight away if it was previously occupied by a guild within the same alliance depending on when it was collected. 12. Making a kama offer on the right side of the Kama Exchange instead of buying directly on the left side will save you kamas overtime in getting the Ogrine service you need to use or p2p on many accounts. You can either be the best bidder on the kama offer side if you want to get it the quickest but still save kamas and time or go 5-15 offers behind and patiently wait for someone to go for it. Works better if you are bidding bigger amounts. On multiple accounts for services or p2p, bid the same exact kama to ogrine ratio so it stacks on each other. 13. When maging an item.. you will normally have 2 choices.. to put the big rune back on safely or wait to put it back at the end in hopes of stronger stats but greater risk after counting the extra sink you have remaining. If you put it on early.. the item will struggle gaining stats even with critical success. 14. If you want to have better chances of selling items while in merchant mode.. make sure it is a high level character so you can continue putting items in the merchant. and fill up many as possible. This gives people more time to look at what you have and see what may interest them. Pick a 20 marketplace merchant spot in Amakna on regular servers if you can't find a normal 6 merchant spot. If you want an even greater advantage.. make multiple merchants on the accounts and do it by crafting profession. 1 Hats/Capes, 2. Boots/Belts, 3 Rings/Amulets, 4. Shields/Preteks/Dofuses/Trophies/Idols 5. Mounts/Petsmounts/Pets, 6. Resources, 7. Cosmetics, 8. Alloys/Substrates/Pebbles/Nuggets/Roses/Keys, etc. You are allowed to do this ONLY on 20 Marketplace Maps. 15. In AvA's or Alliance vs Alliance KOTH King of the Hills.. have sentinel, healer, or undertaker role chosen by going to the alliance temple zaap in Sufokia and choose one accordingly. Sentinel aggroes anyone within certain range of you that comes on the map. Healer revives dead fallen allies that lost their combat through aggros and turns their gravestone into a living person again. Undertaker frees the gravestone into a spirit soul. That character cannot go back to the AvA to count towards the 30 point timer or fight again. As long you're level 50.. you can still make a huge impact on winning the area by holding a map that no one is holding in the area and avoid getting aggroed when someone comes on the map by standing on the edge of a map ready to switch. If you die.. wait until an alliance member revives you as a healer, post your position, tell them level/classes/names that aggroed you, and ask you need a healer to be revived. 16. If you want to get achievement resources and dofuses again.. create new accounts and reach the right level to unlock them once you do it. No longer by a new character only. 17. If you want to save a set that youre wearing.. open your character stats window and go to ensembles.. name the set according to its element, pvp or pvm, the type of build it serves, and choose an icon that associates with the meaning. Then put it in your item bar tab. You can do the same for idol combinations that you use often. 18. If you want a Kolossium based character for a certain level bracket and not in the 200 zone where fights can get imbalanced very quickly due to the power differences of gear, put your guild and mount exp to 90% at the same time. 19. If you want a higher win rate in 3 v 3 random Kolo despite language barriers, point interactive arrows on the map, and explain with 1-2 words particularly in French. Or write in English and try to explain what they can do on their turn while you're waiting for your next turn. If they refuse the advice or tell you stop telling them how to play, explain to them it's a team pvp game mode and requires teamwork and communication to have better chances of winning. 20. When doing treasure hunts 2 right of Cania Fields Zaap and in the final fight, make sure you're final blow on the chest is just enough to kill it cause the damage will reflect back at you first. 21. If you want to place a Perceptor to gain good resources in an area once you collect it. Look at what resources are missing on market or in demand and don't place it in 1st room. The deeper the room, harder it is to reach, and more annoying to engage in a fight with it. Make sure you're in a guild with the perceptor collecting rights in order to do this. It is also a good idea to have the guiild be part of an alliance for more extra added protection and less vulnerability at all times. The only exceptions is if you're guild is very strong and active at all timezones and has a strong reputation.

[@Benjamight]

OMG Bochi - you had SO many awesome tips! I can make a whole follow-up video just using the information you provided - thank you for taking the time to share!

[@billd9667]

Thanks Ben! Good to have you back. I’d like to know how to disable or close that pop up mount overlay in the paddocks. It’s such a PIA and gets in the way when placing items or trying to simply select mounts

[@Benjamight]

Thanks Bill, appreciate that. I'm not sure how to disable the pop-up you requested, but I'll try to do a little digging to see if I can track down an answer for you.

[@billd9667]

@@Benjamight Yep, I’m a breeding fool lol. I’m running 4 broods at a time on 3 characters and that pop-up drives me mad. I think I’ll try the ESC key next time. It takes way too long to time out. Thanks again, Ben ;)

[@MrWTFish]

Welcome back chief

[@Benjamight]

Thank you Mr. WTFish, appreciate that!

[@seathblood]

I didn't even know I needed this video until I watched it! Returning player here, and while I had remembered or found some of these tricks on my own, some of these will be awesome

[@Benjamight]

That's fantastic!! Welcome back Seathblood, and so happy you found some useful tips in here. Appreciate the feedback.

[@Neversad95]

Don't know if it's standard-setting, but the 2nd row ist Ctrl+Number. Extra tip for anyone with a MMO-mouse (one that has keys on the side and is fully programmable): Make a profile where your right mouse button is replaced with Ctrl. Since you don't need right-click in a fight. Now you can either press the sidebuttons for the first row, or RMB+sidebuttons for the 2nd row. (also replace one of the keys with F1 so you can end you turn easy)

[@Benjamight]

That's fantastic Neversad! I've never used an MMO-mouse, but seriously considering it after my time with FF XIV... and know I could use it for Dofus too adds extra incentive!

[@Neversad95]

Some commands you can use in the chat-box: /help - shows a list of commands /ping or /aping - shows your ms or average ms /celebration - lets you celebrate my throwing a bunch of firework (don't think, other players can see it and it won't use any actual items) /clear - delete all messages in the chat /fps - opens a window that shows your fps /invite NAME - Invite a player to your group /kick NAME - kicks a player from the fight /roll - lets you throw a virtual dice. you can even throw multiple. example: /roll 2d12 = rolls 2 12-sided-dice (so you will get something between 2 and 24) /think - shows the message in a thinking-bubble and it appears cursive in the chat-log /travel X Y - if your mount has auto-pilot, you can use it with this command. example: "/travel 5 -18" lets your mount run to the astrub-zaap /whois NAME - show you shows you account-name, guild and alliance of a player. If the player is in your friend-list, you can even see in which area he is Here are also some "magic words". If you type these, the game will replace it with the corresponding name/value : %zone% or %subzone% - writes the area or subarea where you are %hp% or %hpmax% or %hpp% - writes your current HP or your max HP or your current HP as percentage %pos% - writes your current coordinates %stats% - writes your Vitality, Force, Luck, Agility, Intelligence, Wisdom, Initiative, MP and AP %xp% - writes the percentage of xp you have for the next lvl up %guild% or %alliance% - writes your guild or alliance An example how a such a message could look like: I am in %subzone% at %pos% and have already %xp% of the xp I need for %level% = I am in [Astrub] at [4, -19] and have already 42% of the xp I need for 199.

Thank you Jeremy, I really appreciate that. We'll get there. :-)

[@mikeblanchard4145]

Damn. I started on Rushu in 2005, saw Rambo hit 200 on Trools and get that weird staff. Saw Soviet PvP, the greatest sram of all time, waited for samah get to 100 tailor, first on the server. Amazing to see the game persists. 😊

[@Benjamight]

It sure does and wow has it changed since those beginning years!

[@GiaAmelie]

Learned a couple of new things in Dofus from this video, so thanks for that! But I did have a question unrelated to the topic: What music is your outro from?

[@Benjamight]

Thanks Gia, really appreciate that. All the music in my videos are from EpidemicSounds... it's an awesome copywrite free music service that I highly recommend if you're looking for something.

[@shpresimmusliu7594]

For the second u can go to shortcuts and hold ctrl 1 for first ctrl 2 for second etc..

[@Benjamight]

Thanks for letting me know Shpresim - always been curious about that!

[@Yoh.]

Useful tips , thanks benjamight !

[@Benjamight]

Thanks Yoh - you're welcome!

[@agroslavplays7026]

Tip for multi account users: If you want to fit the color of your characterrs, guild, alliance or mounts together, simply hit Shift + left-click on the color, while you are changing it. A box will pop-up and you can enter a hex code, which you can use for all other coloring as well. Other tips: Alt + F1 hides the coordinates and map information Alt + F2 hides the User Interface (chat, item/spell bar, followed quests, ...) Shift + F2 makes a clean screenshot of the map, without anything disturbing the view (hides everything like Alt+F1 and Alt+F2) There are a lot more in Dofus, try to find them all your way.

[@Benjamight]

These are awesome! Thank you Striking for sharing... that color hex one is one I constantly forget!!

[@keshanREd2Y]

Thanks Michael, really appreciate that.

[@billd9667]

Oh, you can set characteristics for each ensemble. Reset, assign and create your ensemble. Do it as often as you like and create a toolbar icon for each. You can then switch to an element balance and equipment you like with a click.

[@Benjamight]

Thanks Bill - this is a feature I really should start researching... I don't use the ensembles, but it would be super helpful!

[@billd9667]

@@Benjamight It’s a great feature being able to have different characteristic balances per ensemble. What a concept! I have two ensembles with reduced strength and intelligence specifically for leveling mounts. If I don’t use them, either my hat or belt get knocked off because I exceeded conditions for the set. Dofus doesn’t always get worse - I remember having to wait making flour and potions. I would literally fall asleep waiting…

[@Benjamight]

LOL - oh yeah, I remember setting hundreds of Nimbly Rings into the workshop counter, hitting starting, and then leaving for a while. The rings were great kama makers too, because they were needed for the agility scrolls...lol, my oh my, how good some people have it today and don't even realize it!

[@egeshain]

You can change the keys for bottom bar on keybinds too i use 1 to 0 for first row f1 to f10 for second row

[@agroslavplays7026]

It'd be good to say that you need to change the shortcuts 1-20, in where 1-10 is the top bar and 11-20 the bottom one. I'd recommend 1-9+F1 for the top bar, 0 for CC, F2-F11 for the bottom bar and F12 for ending your turn. Anyways, as Benjamight already showed where to find the option to change it, I'd also recommend changing the layout of the keyboard to your language/your used language on your own keyboard (hardware). This way you won't get mistakes like the system doesn't followed up or so.

[@shpresimmusliu7594]

Here is a better explanation

How was FFXIV ? are you back to dofus now ? or playing both and sharing content for both games ? =)

[@Benjamight]

Hello D&S - FFXIV is awesome and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Yes, I'm going to host both on the channel... but my experience with Dofus is far greater, so it's going to take me some time to start posting FFXIV regularly.

[@joshrodriguez2711]

Hey Ben! I've got a suggestion why not a mini series of dofus touch and show people how too play it solo

[@Benjamight]

Thanks for the suggestion Josh. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time to add another series to my channel. If you're looking for Dofus Touch content though, look up Challenge-Ex... he does amazing work and that's typically where I point people looking for Touch content.

[@Hellothere-ss4jq]

@@Benjamight I can speak for the Eliotrope class (of all the classes I could've started with I picked this one, its been a week of fun suffering :) ) comparing what I know to your videos it's easier because less spells but also harder because your portals are plain (don't increase damage unless you pick a certain passive) and the game seems to prefer casting the spell naturally over passing it betweeen portals. Thank you for reading the toils of a noob eliotrope

Hi. Nice video. Thanks for including me. ^_^. You can change the hotkeys of the bottom row by going to settings and somewhere after scrolling down a bit it says "slots". The bottom row i have set on the letters beneith the numbers. So Q W E R T Y U I O & P Some of those might be used for something else but you can change that. Its not like anyone uses hotkeys to go to your inventory or something.

You're welcome Eslix, and thanks for the tip!
