Beginner's Guide

This is intended to be a quick guide to getting the hang of Drift City Remastered. It goes over common phrases, farming methods, and other common knowledge.

Farming Methods
In Drift City, good items will take a long time to earn, so it is important to know efficient farming methods.

EXP and Mito are farmed mainly by forming HUV parties or by doing delivery services (delis for short).

Gates
There are two gates for players to choose. When you choose a gate, you will be able to participate in certain modes with other players in the same gate. Most modes require players to be in the same gate and same map.

Parties
To invite someone to a party, type "/invite name" into the chat (of course, change the name to the person's screenname). With parties, you can do HUVs together. This is commonly referred to as an HUV party. For everyone to participate in the same HUV chase, all players must be on the same map and the same gate.

To request for a party, players commonly use "LF". This stands for "Looking For". For example, you may see "LF Combo Party" or variations of this request in All Chat.

Adding Friends
To view your friends list, press F6 for your Walkie-Talkie. Press the + sign to add a friend.

You can also double click an existing friend's name to view their profile if they are online.

Currently, only the Friends List is working on the Walkie-Talkie. The other lists, especially the Block List, do not work.

Buying/Selling Items
The two places to buy and sell items are the Parts Shop and the Auction House.

At the Parts Shop, you can buy and sell items at a fixed price. For the most part, you go here to sell items you don't want. However, for items that look valuable, check the Auction House first.

The Auction House is where players buy and sell items to each other directly. Here, you may see that prices for items are lower than that of the Parts Shop.

If you are not sure of the value of an item, you can compare prices at the AH to see what other people think of it.

Chat Etiquette
The main guidelines of chatting in Drift City Remastered are as follows:

1) Use only English in All Chat (blue). To switch the chat mode, click on the button to the left of the input box or press Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2, Ctrl-3, or Ctrl-4.

2) No selling/buying/trading in All Chat.

Races
Players can race against each other in the Battle Zone. To enter the Battle Zone, you can go to a Station and press 3 or you can drive into the Battle Zone when you're in the Driver Dome. Players tend to race during the Realmatch period.

Alternatively, if you are looking for something similar to time trials, you can do Delivery Services (Time Attack if you are affiliated with ROO instead of OMD).
