Game Guide | Patch Notes – The Trouble with Titles – 10.2023
New System: Titles
Titles are a new way to spruce up names!
Accessible from the top of the Character Sheet is a button that will now open the Title Selector UI! (This is the same button that previously allowed players to select a name color.)
The Title Selector UI can be used to equip 1 Title prefix and 1 Title suffix, along with changing the selected name color and adjusting visibility settings for the player’s name.
While some of the methods of acquiring titles may grant mastery, titles themselves are intended to be purely cosmetic and grant no mastery.
Hundreds of titles can be found across Trove, with 4 major ways to acquire them:
Automatically on logging in for having certain metric values
Crafted at the Title Certificate Stamper workbench in the Hub
Crafted at the Dragon Crucible workbench in the Hub
Obtained from the Terrific Title Trove, found in the More tab on the store or sold by Stampy and Captain Ybarra
Metric Titles
Metric titles are awarded for passing certain thresholds for various player metrics, such as enemies defeated or blocks destroyed.
The title system will reassess eligibility for metric titles with every login or world change.
For example, the title “the Powerful” is available once a player has at least 20,000 Power Rank on any class. But if the player changes their equipped gems/gear so that no class has 20,000 Power Rank, zoning will then unequip the title and remove it from the Title Selector. Re-equipping the gems/gear and zoning again will restore the title.
Though not all metrics have titles, they can be viewed using /metrics (or export them on PC using /exportmetrics).
There are over 50 Metric titles available for a variety of activities!
Title Registrar
Stampy, the Title Registrar, can be found in the Hub in his Qubesly-approved RV Kiosk. He can be recognized by his large stamp, his glasses, tie, and the fact he’s a giant sloth.
A quintessential bureaucrat, Stampy only works Monday through Friday. The amiable Markos Ybarra (retired captain in the Trovian Capybara Brigade) has the weekend shift, and sells all Title essentials!
Using the Title Certificate Stamper, which is a workbench, Stampy can help craft Title prefixes or suffixes!
Stampy only sells 1 stamp per day because 1 is all anyone could EVER need! Each title recipe will return this stamp upon completion of the recipe.
Additionally, each title will need both a Title Authorization Form (which Stampy also sells) and enough title-specific materials for the Document Stamper to synthesize the title-specific ink the Qubeslean bureaucracy requires (different for each Title recipe).
There are over 30 titles available by default on the Trovian Document Stamper, but player can unlock many more by finding Certificates of Title out in the wild and consuming them!
There are some rumors of a Cursed Vanity lurking around the area, and apparently players can even craft their own. Why would anyone ever want to have one of those around…
Draconic Titles
Always looking to capitalize on popular trends, the Dragons of Trove have formed a noble council and have agreed to SEASONALLY RENT access to their over 60 FANCY AND PRESTIGIOUS titles! (Dragons insist that caps lock is cruise control for cool, don’t blame the humble writer.)
Draconic Title recipes are available at the DRAGON CRUICIBLE, found in the HUB.
Each Draconic Title can be crafted during a single Trovian season, which conveniently happen to be the same as seasons in the Northen Hemisphere on Earth (well, conveniently for anyone located in the Northen Hemisphere, at least.) Winter starts on December 1st, Spring on March 1st, Summer on June 1st, and Fall on September 1st.
Access to a Draconic Title lasts for the season in which they were rented plus the following season. In other words, depending on when in a season they were crafted, Draconic Titles last between 3 and 6 months.
Draconic Titles can ONLY be crafted by players who have the associated Dragon unlocked in collections. Anyone with the o-Lantern suffix definitely owns the Drak-o-Lantern Dragon.
Each Draconic Title requires a seasonal Draconic Essence to craft. Glacial Essences appear in Winter, Burnt Essences appear in Fall, Scorching Essences appear in Summer, and Germinating Essences appear in Spring.
Conveniently the DRACONIC BROWSER merchant nearby will sell up to 15 Diluted Draconic Essences (in 5 batches of 3 each), which can be used at the Dragon Crucible to craft the current season’s Essence! These Diluted Essence products restock each month. Alternatively, the current season’s essence can be uncommonly obtained from Greater Dragon Caches.
Terrific Title Trove
This box contains 1 random, temporary title unavailable elsewhere in-game.
Unlike Certificate Titles, these titles can be consumed directly and do not need to be unlocked and then crafted.
Generally, the titles from this box can be traded or placed on the Marketplace, as well as Loot Collected.
This box has a karma bar. Additionally, a Truly Terrific Title Trove – guaranteeing a rare result – is available when purchasing the box 33 units at a time.
Common and Uncommon titles from this box last 1 week (until weekly reset – Mondays at 11 AM UTC), while Rare titles (usually) last 1 month and can contain embedded Metrics within the titles to show to other Trovians.
Controller Support [Beta]
Players can now switch their inputs between controller and keyboard/mouse without having to restart the game. A notification will appear when a controller is plugged in or unplugged.
Please note: There are definitely still issues with using a controller on PC, so this is being considered a Beta feature.
Players cannot enter Controller input mode while the Gamepad option is disabled.
Players can have up to 4 controllers recognized by the game at a time rather than being locked in to the first controller recognized.
Please be aware that switching between controller and keyboard/mouse inputs will cause some dialog windows to close.
Players can now select their preferred UI by going to the Main Menu (Esc) > Settings > Controls.
Automatic – Automatically switches between Keyboard/Mouse and Controller depending on what is active
Controller – forces only Controller UI
Keyboard/Mouse – forces only Keyboard/Mouse UI
Please note that PC players will default to Keyboard/Mouse rather than Automatic. Players who force an input method they don’t have available might need to find their Trove.cfg files and change the value of PlatformUI manually:
PlatformUI = -1 will set the value to Automatic
PlatformUI = 0 will set the value to Controller
PlatformUI = 1 will set the value to Keyboard/Mouse
Adjusted UI panels to now work properly on PC when using a controller.
Joining club members via the Club UI is now disabled on PC specifically.
Editing the bomb permissions for the president is now possible with a Controller.
