Trade Guide

Trade is the important part of this game, It’s very hard to get cards you want without trading not only Duel Pass is expensive but some cards you can get it only by Trading,

Here are an Example of cards you may get it only by trading

Ring of Destruction (50 Mileage Point Discontinued Card), Exodia Necross (30 Mileage Point Discontinued Card), Red Eyes Black Dragon Alt Art (USA Promo you may get it if you buy YU-GI-OH Duel Monster Beginners Pack 2005), Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon Alt Art (V-Jump Promo)

4 Cards above you may get it If you are old player but If you are new to this game or start playing since it upgrade to YU-GI-Oh Online Duel Evolution only way to get it is to Trade. Not only 4 cards above TOP 4 Yoc Cards (Except Skull Dice) released only for YOC Qualifiers and never release again.

In The Past you can trade only 4 cards (Per Trade) but a few month later Konami fixed it, Now you can Trade up to 10 Cards per round. You can trade cards by select person you want to trade then select Send Trade Request If your partner agree to trade you will go to Trade Screen You can see this step at Manual Page from YU-GI-OH Online Official Site.

People use to trade in Main Lobby, Using All Chat Tab to asking for cards they want. There is Trade Tab available but not many people using it, You can read Different Between YU-GI-OH Online 1 & YU-GI-OH Online 2 for more information (I already explained All Tab in this game there).

Before Trading you need to know some basic word people use to Trade, This is only for Trading at English Lobby.

Offer = Willing to Trade cards.

For/Want/need … = He/She looking for cards they told.

Example : I want Doomcaliber Knight and willing to Silent Magician LV8 for it so I type offer Silent Magician LV8 for Doomcaliber Knight.

This is Only Basic Trade at English Lobby There are some players offer cards but don’t tell what they want. They want you to PM Your offer to them If he/she satisfied they will agree to Trade.

PM = Personal Message use in Many Webboard but In This game It’s mean Private Chat (Personal Message you sent to Player by clicking Player and Select Chat).

If you are new to this game You may confuse not only Basic Trade but there are Trade DP, Trade MP, Trade Win etc.., Here Description about it.

Trade Common/Common Trading = a purpose of this trade is to Complete Collection, Trade cards they don’t want/useless cards/Non Rare Cards to get new cards for complete a Collection. You may asking me why?

A lot of people in this game having a Collector Mind, They want to have all cards complete or as much as possible Some want to have at least 1 of every cards or 3 of each cards. This is Why Thunder Kinds/Haniwa/White Dolphin is Very Rare.

Personally I really love this kind of Trade, It can get rid of my Duplicate Cards and make me get a new one.

Trade MP = MP can’t be trade or transfer to other but when people use it in Chat They mean They willing to get MP Cards from the shop and willing to trade it for cards they want.

Example : I am going to Trade 100 MP for Gandra so I type “offer 100 MP for Gandra” when someone accept my offer I will sent PM to him asking for cards they want from the shop, After he told me I go to the shop buy it and Trade it with him, This is What Trade MP mean It’s just exchange MP Cards to cards.

Trade Win/Alternate Win/Exchange Win = It’s switch turn winning with your partner (Switch turn Surrender) A lot of people do it when new pack release to get cards they want as fast as possible, You can call it “Pack Mining”. Trade Win aren’t allow in Events you may got your account ban by doing this but it’s still fine to do it outside event.

Trade DP = Trade Duel Pass to Cards/MP Cards/Account/Money. This Kind of Trade is Prohibited by Konami You may got your Account Ban by doing this but a lot of people still doing it. I just want to warn you Konami can check Chat Message If you want to do it do it outside the game.

Note : You can Trade Banned Cards or any cards you want but there are some cards you can’t trade it, You can’t trade cards you received from Structure Deck, Starter Cards, Cards you received for having 100 TP, Cards you get from The Basic Set and Expansion Pack (In Card Shop), For NDS Qualifierd You can’t trade All Cards you get with Special Duel Pass.

I want to Post about Cards Rarity but it ’s too long in this post I will post it in the future.

Online Video Sharing Service is good anyone can share your video and watch video for free. If you go to Youtube or Nicovideo (Online Video Sharing Service For JPN People) you will find a lot of great video from this game, You can watch other people duel, YU-GI-OH Online TV Commercial, YU-GI-OH Online Animation Effect etc… In this tutorial I will teach you how to do it with an easy method after following this guide you can share your gameplay online.

*This tutorial using Frap 2.94, Sothink Video Encoder 2.37 and Virtual Dub You can use other program or other method you prefer, For Japanese People you can try an instruction from TommyRamps at http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm2809247 (He using Free Open Source Camstudio to do it and he also explain it cleary in this video).

You can download all program in this Link (15 MB)

http://rapidshare.com/files/122843561/Creating_YO2_Video.rar.html

http://depositfiles.com/files/6017624

http://www.ziddu.com/download.php?uid=ZqyblJWoZa6Zl5zzZ6qZnJGla6eampysbg%3D%3D5

* Download from 1 Link that work for you other link are Mirror After finish downloading it extract file install all program in it.

How To Do it

1.open Frap select FPS Tab select Disable like you see in this screen (If you enable it you will see FPS number running in game and while you record number of FPS will include in your video file).

After that switch to Movies tab select where you want to save Video File (I recommend to select where you have Most Available Space because Video capture by this program is really huge I got 2.71 GB for 4 minute video)

After that Select Half-Size Video (You don’t need to record Full Screen Size it will cause a lot of space this will make you can’t upload to youtube or other online video sharing service), select 30 FPS, and depend on you. You want to record sound or not if yes select Record Sound and Detect Best Sound Input (If you select it you will got Video+Sound in it), You can also change Video Capture Hot Key from F9 to any key you like but I select deafult setting.

2.Minimize Fraps and Open YU-GI-Oh Online go to Option select Windows Screen

While you are in game Press F9 (or other hot key you select) to start recording when you want to stop press F9 Again to stop it.

3.Go to where you save video file you will see file name yo2… .avi with a large size. We need to compress it before uploading but before doing it open .avi file to check it.

Check it to find any strange voice or sound+video match perfectly or not, If you found some strange noise go to Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices look at Sound Recording click on Volume Deselect all of it (I’m using Windows XP some command may not match with your OS)

If you want to edit it open Virtual Dub drag video file or open it, For Example if you want to select some part of video select where you want it to start then click on Edit Menu > Select Set Selection Start after that select which part of video to End > click on edit again select set selection end.

Click on Video Menu Select Direct Stream Copy

Then click on File Menu Select Save As AVI and save it

After Finish this step We still need to encode it to FLV Format (A lot of Video Sharing Website use FLV Format and you can’t convert it online because File Size is large)

4.When you finish editing your video you still get huge file size but don’t worry about it Open Sothink Video Encoder Select your video file click next

*Note You can also Crop Video File by clicking Crop&Trim

This is an important part you can select Video Size, Audio and Video Quality (Bitrate will determine a Quality, if bitrate is low = Low Quality Video but please remember you don’t need HQ video when you will share it) you can select your own or setting or select from default profiles (*Don’t change Frame Rate)

After that click next select Generate FLV: (By Default it select automatically)

Click Next and Wait till it finish

You are done, 1GB+ video file size will become less than 20 MB (Depend on what you select) you can upload .FLV file to any website and share it to the world now.

If Fraps doesn’t work with you, you can use ZDsoft Game Recorder, Camtasia or Camstudio to capture Video File, If you don’t know how to do it go to youtube then searching it you will see a great video tutorial.

I see a lot of great video from Nicovideo but didn’t see much from Youtube, This tutorial may help some player who want to share his/her duel online but don’t know how to do it, It’s also work with other games.

We can share Duel Log but if you want to share it to a lot of people only way to do it is to record video and uploading it.

About This Ban List : Summer 2008 Ban/Restrict List don’t follow In Real Life Ban/Restrict List, there are a lot of different.

For Example Monster Reborn still got ban and Call of The Haunted remain the same, Gadget, Reckless Greed, Pot of Avarice and Creature Swap still semi limited, Dark Armed Dragon now got limited we online player don’t have a chance to use it. other than that they ban and restricted more card Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, Magical Explosion, Reversal Quiz now Forbidden, Benkei, Reasoning, Monster Gate, Final Countdown now Limited also 2 cards are release from Limited List It’s Mobius and Zaborg.

Personally I really love this Ban List cause Bankei, Reversal Quiz are gone [They need more luck to win with benkei], a cheap win will be hard for now.
