How to Catch Sprites in the TCG World Alpha!
This article is accurate for Alpha Version 3.8.4
How to throw rings:
- Rings are found in your inventory under "Resources" (press i for inventory)
- Select a ring and press "Use"
- Hit ESC to get out of the inventory screen.
- Click and hold right mouse button to aim.
- Press left mouse button to throw.
How to capture Sprites:
- Find a Sprite!
- Toss a ring at it.
- The ring must hit anywhere on them.
- The captured Sprite goes into your inventory under the Creatures tab.
Tips:
- Try to remain far away.
- Wait for the sprites to stop, then toss a ring. Otherwise you may waste rings.
- Do not let the sprite get near you, as it'll run away making it harder to capture and wasting your time.
- Walk left and right to get a better view of the Sprite for aiming. I try to keep my avatar just to the left of the Sprite. It's a small window between your arm and your body where you can aim for the sprite.
- Watch the crosshair, it will rise up when you're on a sprite. That's when and where you want to throw!
- Try to be uphill from a Sprite. If you're downhill, you can't aim as far and you'll have to get closer.
- Once you see the blue ring of success, you're good. No need to wait for it, move along to the next Sprite!
- Always look around you, sprites some times spawn on the sides or behind you too!
- Go to areas with less trees. Easier to spot sprites.
Other stuff to know about Sprite Capturing: - Sprites spawn with a flash of gold light, easily seen from far away.
- Sprites can spawn just about anywhere on the plot map.
- Sprites can spawn 2 or more at a time.
- Even though you can toss rings while in vehicles and dragons, get used to capturing them on foot.
- You can rapid fire ring throwing if you click fast enough!
- If you move too far away from a sprite, it will disappear from your view. Approach it again, and it'll appear in a flash of light again on your screen.
- You can throw rings while you're moving.
- The TCG World team is recording all sprite captures, will have some kind of leaderboard.
- Ring count is in the bottom right.
- In Alpha, they give you 1000 blue and 1000 green rings to toss.
- Ring color does not matter in the current version.
- Sprites can be seen on your mini map too, but they're very small.
- The blue ring of success and the spawning gold light are easily seen on the mini map. - There are 3 different sprites currently: Bluey McFrogFace, Pouches McGee and Birdperson.
Sprite Evolutions:
- Get 10 of a sprite and you can evolve it to the next level.
- Math: That means 100 of the same sprite for a level 3 evolution.
- Sprites are not currently minted. Expect that in Alpha 4.0 version and beyond. Radar:
- Radar can be used to point you to a spawn point of a Sprite.
- Currently, it's a bit tricky to activate the Radar.
- Easiest way I've found is to hit ENTER - move your mouse to select the radar - then hit ESC to get rid of the chat screen.
- In this current version of Alpha, I recommend just roaming around in a car or on a dragon rather than depending on the radar to find Sprites.
Scuffed Sprites (known glitches and bugs):
- Extremely tricky to activate the radar (have to press I or Enter, then have to hit ESC) - Unfortunately, if you spawn the sprites they poof out of existence currently. But the captures are still recorded on the back end for leaderboard purposes.
- Aiming doesn't go as far when going up hill.
- Some times sprites spawn floating in the air.
- Some times sprites go into the earth and are temporarily hidden until they come back out again.
- Some times they are glitching in and out of existence.
(You can still capture glitching sprites, you just have to estimate where they actually are at).
Commands:
Find a Ring under "Resources" in your Inventory. Color doesn't matter at this time.
Keep track of your rings in the bottom right:
Pay attention to the crosshair when aiming:
Successful Capture:
Captured Sprites are found in your inventory under "Creatures"
