Idle Poring - Quick Introduction

A long overdue post... 💦

I've been on 'Idle Poring' for a while now.. (since mid-oct 2017) and I've been wanting to blog about it but have never found the time to 🙊. It is by far, one of my favourite mobile games... and I'm still learning and exploring despite 5 whole months into it. - Its a great travelling-to-work kind of game.

Daily sign-in reward calendar.. (love how they have little bookmarks on days of accomplishments)

When I first started, I was so in awe because of the ability to gain exp & zeny/gold (a.k.a in-game money) even when you're not in the game 😎. Of course, being too inactive means progressing at a much slower pace since there are certain checkpoints and tasks to be completed to grow the character's power and abilities. The amount of exp and zeny earned per minute are progressively higher as you clear maps so that is one factor in game progression as well.

Character selection screen & City screen

There are currently three job classes that you can pick: Warrior, Bowman or Mage. Hearsay, there is going to be an upcoming Thief class as well. Essentially, it doesn't really matter which job class you pick since the skills are the pretty much the same (just named differently). 

Generally, the community is pretty supportive and helpful when you're stuck in-game and require some tips on the pets/skills to use when trying to clear maps or MVP/PVP battles.. (naturally though, there are trolls around so always hear from a few people from different channels if you want to be sure, or be like me & just read through the conversations of others and still pick up a tip or two 😏)

Pro-tip for beginners: Follow 6 people (regardless at random, or picked from the crowd, or your own friends) & pat them daily for honor points [free honor points, why not?] .
- Honor points are crucial in unlocking essential skills for your character.
- Available pats per day: 6

Simply click on players & follow them and they will be in your buddy list to 'pat' or find your friends by manually adding them through their IGN

Quick run-through on the city tab:
Store - this is where u get your daily freebies such as pet shards, explore/combat potions, etc.. (just be careful not to hit the 880 gems bundle or you might see your diamonds (in-game cash $$) fly away.
It is also the place to purchase diamonds (using real money), costumes or convert diamonds into in-game zeny...

Market - buying items (such as pet shards, explore/combat potions, candies, equipment, etc) using zeny/diamonds

Smith - where you can smith hunted equipment for forge points to forge better equipment for your character

Friend - your buddy list / patting for honor points

Explore - sending your pets on exploration tasks for pet exp and possibility to gain items

Guild - there's a War of Emporium (WoE) every week that guilds can participate in for members to gain honor points/items/zeny/diamonds

PVP - battling against other players around your power and gain honor points, zeny/diamonds

MVP - battling against bosses to gain artifacts to boost your power and for enhancement items to advance character levels

Battle Team - clear maps to gain points for your team for the duration of 6 days and earn a variety of items for the game.. there's a possibility to get costume coins as well

I have heard mixed reviews on this game.. (probably not as idle since there are many things to work on such as getting pet shards to unlock pets, earning honor points to unlock skills...) and it gets more complicated with the rebirths. Some said it got boring after a while.. and then there's me, still pretty amazed with the game at rebirth 2. 😎
