Sleeping Dogs Safehouses

Wei Shen has four safehouses. One in every district in the game. For each safehouse, you can get upgrades from hidden vendors. These upgrades will only improve the looks of your safehouse, they do not give any other benefits such as stat bonuses.

North Point Apartment

North Point Apartment is a very simple, not so fancy looking apartment. It contains a bed for Wei Shen to sleep in, which has a photo in a frame on a bed side table next to it. The photo shows Wei Shen as a child, his sister Mimi and their mother.
Northpoint Apartment also has a bathroom, a kitchen, a TV and a wardrobe which Wei Shen can use to change his clothes.

Trickster Online: Custom Screen Resolution

PLEASE NOTE: I ONLY KNOW HOW TO DO THIS IN WINDOWS XP

---

By default, Trickster Online can be played in only two screen resolutions, in either window mode or full screen mode: 800×600 and 1024×768. However, it is possible to customize a couple of settings so that you can play the game in your preferred screen resolution. For example, I play Trickster Online at 1600×900 pixels at times. I’ll tell you how I did this.

• Go to the folder UI_nori where you have installed Trickster Online. For example, on one of my computers it is located at C:\Ntreev USA\Trickster Online\data\UI_nori
• Search for all files and folders that have the number 1024 in it. Also check the folder intro_img.
• Copy those files to a temporary folder (as back-up).
• Now rename these files to the resolution you want. For example, I renamed CharCreateUI_1024.nri to CharCreateUI_1600.nri
• Next, open Run (Start –> Run) and type regedit.
• Here, go to My_Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Software\Ntreev\Trickster_GSP\Setup
• Right-click heightPixel, select Modify, set it on Decimal and set your preferred height. In my case, I put it on 900.
• Right-click widthPixel, select Modify, set it on Decimal and set your preferred height. In my case, I put it on 1600.
• Start Trickster Online, click on Options. You should now have a blank space in the screen resolution drop-down menu. Select the blank space. Keep it like this or put it on Full Screen Mode and click OK. Now start the game. That should do it!

Final notes:

- Certain things may look a little messed up, for example the character selection screen and MyShop window. Don’t worry about it, as all should be working correctly.

- The char bar might appear tiny. This is probably changeable but I haven’t gotten to do this yet.

Trickster Online: Card Identification Quest Guide

Quest Requirements

You have to be at least level 65, and you have to have gone 2nd job before. Furthermore, you’ll need the following items:

• 1 Arcana Love Card
• 1 Arcana Smart Card
• 1 Arcana Dream Card
• 1 Arcana Love Card
• 5 Harkon Shard

Let’s go for it!

Go to Scared Poppuri in Poppuri Dungeon – Rainbow Cave. Talk to him and enter Poppuri Dungeon – Mysterious Space. Here, you will find a harkon statue with a fairy inside. It’s Fairy Nono. Talk to her. She wants to teach you the Card Identification Skill. You’ll have to complete her quest for this, though. So let’s get to it!

Let’s go for the Trial of Courage first. You will be teleported to a room with Arbiter of Courage. Talk to him. He will teleport you to Megalopolis to find the required item (Arcana Brave Card). Once you have it, use the Arbiter of Courage Port he gave you to teleport straight back to him.

Now, you will have to fight a monster (power type) to prove your courage. Once you have passed the test, you will meet with Fairy Nono again.

Let’s pick the Trial of Wisdom next. You will be teleported to a room with Arbiter of Wisdom. Talk to him. He will teleport you to Megalopolis to find the required item (Arcana Smart Card). Once you have it, use the Arbiter of Wisdom Port he gave you to teleport straight back to him.

You’ll now have to prove a sense type monster your wisdom. Once you have passed the test, you will meet with Fairy Nono again.

Well, since we’re going nicely from top to bottom, we’ll pick the trial of Dreams next. You will be teleported to a room with Arbiter of Dreams. Talk to him. He will teleport you to Megalopolis to find the required item (Arcana Dream Card). Once you have it, use the Arbiter of Dream Port he gave you to teleport straight back to him.

You’ll now have to prove your dreams to Dreaming Kira, a sense type.

Now, for the last trial, let’s go to the trial of Love. Again, you will be teleported to a room with Arbiter of Love. Talk to him. He will teleport you to Megalopolis to find the required item (Arcana Love Card). Once you have it, use the Arbiter of Love Port he gave you to teleport straight back to him.

You’ll now have to prove a charm type monster your love. Once you have passed the test, you will meet with Fairy Nono again.

Fairy Nono will now use the four crests to create a Trickster Crest. One she’s finished (that was fast!), take it to Artisan Poppuri, in Poppuri Dungeon – Moss Cave.

You’ll now need 5 Harkon Shards. Once you have them, talk to Artisan Poppuri again. He will give you the Trickster Certificate. Let’s rush back to Fairy Nono with it!

And here we go. You’ve got the Card Identification Skill! To find it, simply open your Skills tab (press S or click Skill on the bottom of the screen). Just double click to use it.

Trickster Online: Card Battle

Card Battle is a turn-based game, and can be considered as a mini game within Trickster Online.

Starting a Card Battle

Right-click on another player, and select ‘Card Battle’ at the bottom of the menu. When selected, the player of choice will receive an invitation to play Card Battle with you. The user may either accept or decline.

Playing the game

Each player is required to pick 5 cards to play with. Keep in mind, you can only select up to 2 cards of the same type and same number. However, you can select only 1 non-property card, and you can’t select one card twice.

Once both players have selected 5 cards, put one card on the battle board, to compare it with the card of your opponent. The winner is decided by the Rules.

Rules

Don Giovanni Rules
If the card types match, the higher rank wins.
If the card types differ, the lower rank wins.

Don Cavalier Rules
If the card types match, the lower rank wins.
If the card types differ, the higher rank wins.

After each game, the winner will earn points. The winner of the battle will be decided by the number of points won after 4 games. The points that are won, will be accumulated, and if you lose, the same amount of points lost will be deducted from your total score.

If a battle ends up in a tie, an extra round will take place with 1 remaining card. If the battle results in a tie once again, another card will be issued to each player, and the process will repeat until the winner is declared.

The winner of the Card Battle will earn experience points in proportion to the amount of points won. The higher the number of wins and points, the greater the increase in experience points. Other prizes that can be won, are items, card and galders.
