Enjoying your game yet?

Packrat is a online digital collectibles game developed by alamofire.

Some tricks that I had used in the course of playing packrat!

1. Buy cheap item from the market and keep on swapping for higher value items from the rats, BTW (they are picture if rats instead of human) ^_^

2. Vault items of the same kind to gain points, increase you level, and open up the markets during the early stages. I go for higher value items like 4000 – 5000 range where possible. Look for items that are available in abundance from the rats pack.

3. A must have…. Recipe link :

4. Sometimes you could just vault to get vault cards, who knows you may chance upon new cards!

5. If your pack is full, steal a lock from a rat, lock something in your pack but refresh your screen 3 times, return to your pack and your lock will have been used up and you will be left with a space. If your pack is full swap the cards to a friend’s pack, look for those who are not exposed to FFAs. Pass the card that you’ve got to the rats swap with coins to free up space. Why choose a friend who does not really play and there are not many pack raters around, simple so that you have enough time to swap it back when you can.

6. Another way get yourself unstuck from full pack, is to swap for items that can be used to create a recipe. Choose cards that are easy to find in the rats. I normally choose lower value cards that are easy to steal.

7. When vaulting for vault bonuses you will achieve the best results if you vault your pack to empty, vaulting everything in your pack yields you 5 vault bonus cards. (I usually don’t get a chance to do that as there are FFA around me)

With each completed series you will get a feats of wonder card for display… these are my completed set thus far. Don’t you like the Golden rat!

Here you go…

Packrat. What is it? Hmm, have you done cards collection before? Or collect a series of stickers in an album …Ah ha, you’ve got it. It’s an electronic version of the collection game, with a twist… since it’s electronic, you get to “steal”, combine cards to make new ones.

Aim of the game – is to collect items from different cards to complete a collection. When you first added the game you are given a ‘pack’ containing five different items. Each item is from a different ‘collection’ – for example collection series like ‘Oh the Drama’, ‘Jump the shark’ etc, it’s differentiated by a icon at the corner of each packrat card. Once you have either a set of 5 of the same card, or 5 distinct items from the same collection, you can move them to your ‘vault’, where they’re safe.

To get the cards that you need, either steal them from your friends collections, or buy them from the market.

Onward with the game…

Some quick and simple notes for new players of Packrat. Nay, I’m not going to write a bible about it, it’s learn as you play!

Step 1: Get 5 different items from the same series and learn how to vault. Don’t just swap and steal cards, you need to vault! You will receive a new card with each vault.

Step 2: Work towards opening up all the markets so you can buy items and be able to complete your set, least you get bored along the way. Some markets only open up at level 25 I think. (*I’m way above that to remember which level)

Step 3: Choose a set and start completing it. Work with a friend, a group of friends or anybody who can help so you can complete the set faster.

Step 4: Practice the locks to earn some credits. (Edited: 7 Dec 08, The new pack rat do not have locks anymore, there’s now a protected area and a shared stash where your friends/rats can drop items for sharing.)

Step 5: You can get 250 credits daily if you login to the game. (per 24 hr)

Step 6: Sit back, relax and enjoy… or like some who did it, scold those who pretend to be cooperating when they are actually rats! Ha Ha…
