or TROM for short (well, I love to pronounce it this way). I wrote this also for comparison between the currently existing XDROM
(xindong) and TROM. Well to be honest, all of Youtube videos are just footages and not actually in-depth reviews of what TROM has
and XDROM has not (FFS youtuber). Please open this document on your PC browser. You can read it on mobile though, but it’s not
recommended.
All of the contents I wrote here are features that I could find while I playing this game, since I’m not playing this game from
day-1 so I’ll just put together what I could find while on the game. All contents I put here is not the end product features, so Tencent
might probably change it by the time they release the game. Keep it in mind. And I won’t put anything related to leveling system,
since you probably have seen how this works everywhere on Youtube. I’ll focus on game elements. Let’s get started, shall we.
1. The game is hard to play on an emulator… for now. (wow I’m such a hater). No really, I hardly open the game on emulator
(currently is MuMu). Yes I know you’d probably say “I am able to open it on NOX and there’s nothing wrong”. Here is the
thing, I already made a benchmark for all emulators that are commonly used by everyone and made the conclusion that
MuMu has the best performance in terms of graphics (you can do your own benchmark). It’s not MuMu not being able to
open it, it’s just sometimes the game is stuck at the first screen when the Tencent logo is shown — it just shows a blank white
screen. So, probably not all emulator will be compatible with the current state of the game. So be prepared if you really want
play this game on emulator.
2. You need to install the QQ app to login the game. What does this mean? Well, basically you need to install QQ chat (the
chinese one, not international) to login to the game. Probably this is the only option for now.
Note: when WeChat is available, you don’t have to install WeChat on emulator and just scan the login bar code using your
phone since some messenger app not allowing their app installed on emulator which probably could lead to account suspend
like WeChat (you can read about their License and Agreement).
3. Channel or Line (what chinese people says) are selected on very first time after you login.
The bad things about this, when you need to change channel to… for example looking an specifics drops from MVPs (which
no need require to kill just hit like XDROM) you have to log out first to the very first scene. There is option to select channel
in game and show the drop down list of channel, but since there is only one channel so not sure if you able to change it on
game directly.
4. 4 Characters for every IDs. Yes, you’ll be given 4 characters slot for every ID you make. This probably changes when the game
is launched officially (not beta). I nb4 you have to pay for every slots you open :p.
Finally into the game, yay! I’m not going to explain how character creation is, there is video about it on Youtube.
5. A 4 Graphics option menu. Low, Medium, High, and PLUS ULTRA (lol).
Also how many player can be shown (10, 20, 30, 40), and everything else just preference stuff (you can set them as you like
when the game release for public).
6. A bit tricky menus. For low sense gaming peps, yeah! (will explain the other features later).
7. A 360° View. Hell Yeah! This is big plus for TROM.
8. The Control is actually pretty good. Well yeah joystick like on Mobas game? Sure why not (finally MMORPG game that I able
play with my DualShock controller lolol). This is very comfort esp for touchscreen users.
Skill shortcut switch (recycle arrow icon ot the bottom right) apparently will unlock at base Lv 30. I won’t judge 5 skill
shortcut slot are enough or not right now, since this is still Limited Close Beta Test. So it will improve sooner or later.
9. Why Chat bar... on the fckin bottom center of screen. Hey tencent, put this of lower left, It’s bugging me out!
10. Fashion Right of The Bat! No need adventure lv, no need quest. Need materials ofc!
Good for you fashionistas!
11. A Skill Preview. Ffs XDROM, I hope you can implemented this one, but Tencent really better at this point. Not all skills but
yeah this Good User Experience.
12. Similar skill set. Compared with XDROM you’ll given with 3 auto slot skill for the very early game after change to 1st job. You
can have 5 auto skill slots at this game right of the bat (this may can be change on the future).
Skill shortcut settings (left) and Auto skill settings (right).
13. Improved classic game equipments placements. And similar inventory menu.
The equipments placements is similar to Classic Ragnarok I assume. If you wondering what the bottom right button is, the
left one is for sorting items, and the right one is item shortcut for battle. Well, probably you could guess what another else
is.
14. A similar Auto Battle. If you experiencing XDROM, this is nothing new.
15. Auto walk route preview. I could say this is a plus.
16. Auto walk quest. A good things? A Bad things? I couldn’t give valuation to this one at the moment. I personally didn’t like it
because you didn’t have to think and experiencing the game for the fullest, also this will just create a lazy people just my
opinion. In other way this is convenient.
17. A similar game stats?. If you already experienced with XDROM, they has similarity in their characters stats.
18. An Unimplemented Stamina system?. Tbh there is no way a chinese game without stamina system (since they have
regulation about limitation of playing games on each week for underage people). The only things I suspect to be stamina is a
“Vig” (Vigor?) stats on character status information. But I tried to battle with monster and this not even decreased.
Update: This Virgor or Genki apparently a stamina used for life skill (you can read about it below). And Stamina system still
unimplemented.
About Genki
◆ Genki can be used for Life skill .
◆ Genki can be obtained by completing daily activities, getting poring point reward.
◆ Reset everyday 5am. Genki that exceed the maximum amount will be cleared.

19. A Fckin bad self recovery. Well probably tencent still focused on other things, but yeah I tried to sit for 5 mins in order to
recovery my HP and SP but not being recovered at all :(. You’re forced to use potion (probably for now, hopefully).
Well I know you probably blame me because I didn’t have recovery stats yet. But compared to XDROM this is minus for
beginner who learn their first ragnarok game tbh. Esp with peps who doesn’t have good direction and sense, they probably
confused where to get HP/SP Potion etc, also which one.
20. Daily login reward. Well this feature are really common on mobile games, but idk why XDROM doesn’t have this.
21. Straight forward headgears crafting. Yes no need to give the NPC a photo, kill achievement, and drop like competitor. Just
need Base Level.
22. A Item market (unlocked at lv 25?). There are 2 tabs here. The first tab presumably a Premium Market which use R Coin to
buy/sell. And normal market which use Zeny to buy things.
Oh well I assume this R Coin to be a cash currency, so you basically can trade with other players what you can sell with cash
point. But hey, Elunium is threaten as cash item? Idk.
23. A Potential of RMT. OMG Yes, this is very bad. Some of you will probably love this feature, but not for me because this could
ruin the game and attract farmers :’(. Even the game itself is a very good game, but when RMT (Real Money Trading) is
happening on there, I wouldn’t even trust my guildmates. I could say this is personal preference but it’s up to you to
evaluate this one. For me, this is BIG MINUS.
So you basically can set item you want to sell maximum to 50% of default market price. And minimum of -50% of default
market price. Each steps of increment (+/-) it increase for 10%.
Basically, this is hole. For example if someone want to sell zeny for Real Money, they could use this as transfer option. Not
really big hole, but this could be potential as RMT scheme :(. Tbh XDROM has better system for avoid this kind of things.
And apparently not all materials/item could be sell on the market, idk why. But there is should be reason for this.
24. A Harvest Moon-like features. Idk how this called, let me know if you have idea what should this be called. Let’s call it Life
Skill for now (I don’t have another idea). Keep in mind, the Vigor will be used.
YES YES, You can Harvest, Mining, and Fishing!!. OMG this is very big plus for TROM. There are lots of activities, but I’ll cover
just 3 of them, and figure it yourself when the game release on public.
Harvesting & Fishing
Mining
25. Weather system is surprisingly cute, and very highly game texture and effect details. Hey you guys might be already know
this but I can’t help myself to not cover this up. Basically characters, NPCs, even Monster are reacting with the weather.
Cute, isn’t it?. Let’s be honest here, this game absolutely overwhelming XDROM in graphics contents. But yeah, be aware
heavy graphic lags on your device (at least I can play Ultra on MuMu).
Weather reaction, Skill effects, and detailed effects.
26. A Fancy... Wagon? Umh... err... Nothing I could say.
27. Input username and password every login. Yeah, everytime I log in the game prompt me QQ login screen. Not really big deal,
but I prefer XDROM way which just need login for first time and logged in everytime you open the game without input
username and password again.
28. Big Adventure Ahead. I could say this has similarity with Classic RO on PC.
29. A Complete guide of weekly and daily. You can check Rom So videos about this one.
30. Forging System. I’m not really sure about this one. I’ll update this later when I figure this out.
31. A Party as simple as click.
32. Rich feature camera mode and selfies. You are probably already familiar with this on in-game footage videos, but I’ll just
cover it up here. Big cheese with toast!
33. Nothing special Guild UI. Probably not on tencent top list at the moment?.
34. Hollgrehenn at correct place. Heh… this is remind me of classic RO when peps desperate over in one room.
Right at the moment someone on refining and failed :D
Note: Your equipments will gone after you failed upon refining.
There are 3 menus from Hollgrehenn:
Craft
Refine
Card (unplug/remove).
35. Mora Cat also there
No option given by Mora, I assume this is similar to Mora’s Enchant? Not really sure. I’ll update this when I got information
about Mora.
36. Endless Tower start at Lv. 45.
Sorry, No review about this at the moment. Probably on next TROM release.
37. Built-in fashion preview. Good for you fashionista, again.
38. Usual Stats and Skill reset.
You can access reset stats and skills directly on its menu. Well, you should able to figure this yourself.
39. An Improved Kafra’s Storage.
25 Items Slot of each boxes. You can rename your storage boxes and have maximum of 25x6 item storage space.
40. Mysterious Rainbow Crystal as Currency. I don’t have much information about this. But apparently this used for expand item
slot that you can sell on Market.
41. Foreigner friendly teleport menu. Yes you don’t have to remember towns name, or fields name anymore. Just pick
destination and chose where the Kafra’s point you want teleported to.
42. No in-game wikipedia. Ugh seriously, I got used to journal system on XDROM. It’s very convenience to check about monsters
and their stats and attributes. I’d like to review about it but seems no journal system on TROM. So yeah...
That’s it for now. I’ll cover up more if I got time. I’ll add some FAQs. later. And about how battle, leveling, as well as skills compared
with XDROM will comes up later since I’m not the one covered that. Will put it on FAQs.
Also August 22 will be last day the Limited Beta Test will last, so unfortunately.
