Differences between the PC and App

• Smithing/Armory resource flicking
• Buying and using Koushuu Gold

About Koushuu Gold

For detailed information about Koshuu Gold, see Shop/Koshuu_Gold.

Click on the blue [+] button in the citadel to buy Koushuu Gold.

Koushuu gold is the smartphone app currency for the Shop and cannot be used on the PC version. Items can be purchased from the Shop with DMM points on the PC version.

Shop items purchased with DMM points can be used on the app, and vice versa. However, Koushuu gold may not be transferred between mobile devices, nor can they be used on the PC version of the game.

Linking Game Data

When starting the app for the first time, tick the check box to accept the Terms Of Service.

• The red (left) button is to create a new account to start the game. This will prompt you to select a server. A tutorial will start up afterwards.
• The blue (right) button is to sync your game data from PC.

An ID and password are needed to synchronize game data, either from PC to a mobile device, a mobile device to PC, or from one mobile device to another. Use the slideshows below to help you get started.

Once a PC and mobile device are synced together, there is no need to keep generating ID/passwords to sync data back and forth. Syncing is done automatically from that point onwards.

Using PC game data to play on a mobile device

1. Click the blue Data Sync banner under the browser game.
2. Click [Link PC and Mobile].
3. An ID and password will be generated. IMPORTANT: Please do not share this to anyone to avoid your account info being compromised.
4. On the mobile device, select [Link PC and Mobile].
5. Input the ID and password generated from the browser.
6. Confirm the data sync.
7. PC data will continue to be synced to the mobile device.

Using mobile device game data to play on PC

1. On the mobile device, select [Link PC and Mobile].
2. Click [Sync mobile data to PC].
3. An ID and password will be generated. IMPORTANT: Please do not share this to anyone to avoid your account info being compromised.
4. Click the Data Sync banner.
5. Click [Link Mobile Data to PC].
6. Input the ID and password generated by your mobile device.
7. Confirm that you will overwrite your PC data with your mobile data.

Note that any pre-existing PC game data will be overwritten when syncing from mobile device to PC. If you already have a PC account, DO NOT USE THIS OPTION!

Using mobile device game data in another mobile device

1. On the mobile device, select [Link Mobile to Mobile].
2. Click on the [Generate Data Here] button
3. An ID and password will be generated. IMPORTANT: Please do not share this to anyone to avoid your account info being compromised. The blue button copies the data, the orange one goes to the previous screen, the pink one to the Start menu.
4. Return to the [Link Mobile to Mobile] menu.
5. Click on the [Input Data Here] button.
6. Input the ID and password generated by your mobile device.

Important Notes

Data synchronization

• During maintenance, synchronization will not be possible.
• Right before maintenance, please refrain from synchronizing as it may corrupt your data.
• ID/passwords generated will include the data from the last server connection, except during mid-battle conditions.
• While synchronizing, the game data will be overwritten by the device used to generate the ID and password. So smartphone players synchronizing with a PC generated ID/password will have their app data overwritten with their PC game data.

Uninstalling the app

• If a player only uses the mobile app to play Touken Ranbu and never syncs their game data to the browser version, then uninstalls the mobile app, please note that the data will be deleted permanently and that we will be unable to restore any game data.
• If you uninstall the game, please either:
  • Issue an ID/password from your mobile app and sync to the browser game, or
  • Issue an ID/password from your mobile app and sync to another mobile device.
  • ※Note that ID/passwords expire two weeks after being issued.
  • If you uninstall the app and have synced to the browser version, you may continue to enjoy Touken Ranbu from your PC. We recommend players to sync their game data.

Cache-cleaning by the mobile device

• Data that is acquired by the app during initial start-up and stored in its cache may be removed by third-party cache cleaning apps, or by the mobile device itself.
  • If this occurs, when the player reopens the app, it will begin redownloading this data again (1.6 GB).
  • Please note that clearing the cache using third-party apps may have an influence on gameplay.
  • If a player uses a cache-cleaning tool and finds that they have lost game data, we will be unable to restore any lost game data in the event that they have not synced their data to the browser version.

SD Cards

• We cannot guarantee the stability of the Touken Ranbu Pocket app if the data is stored on an SD card.

ID/passwords

• Failing to enter the ID/password 5 consecutive times will result in a 24 hour ban from further ID/password input.
• Failing to enter the ID/password 10 consecutive times will result in a permanent ban from further ID/password input. Please contact the support team to remove the ban.
• The expiry date is 2 weeks after the ID/password are generated.
• The ID/password will become invalid after the PC data has been transferred.
• Please do not share synchronization data with third parties (e.g. via screenshots).
