How to pass through the Gates?
To move between arenas, use Gates. To pass through them, you have to aim at them, get close and press the corresponding key.
How to unlock new characters?
You'll unlock new characters when you make progress in Time Patrol, the main campaign. You'll unlock some characters after each saga. Two special characters, Bardock and Broly will be unlocked after you complete the Legendary Super Saiyan that you'll unlock by collecting five Time Shards (more about that in the description of the saga). Some of the unique characters can only be unlocked with a wish. These are: Omega Shenron, Super 17 and Gogeta. Other unlockable characters are: Vegito - complete PQ 37 - Potara Warrior and Goku SSJ4 - after you finish all 55 Parallel Quests.
How to unlock a mentor and level up?
Mentors are being unlocked when you make progress in Time Patrol. Some of them require you to have a specific experience level. You can find out more about it in the Mentors chapter.
The mentor's level increases when you gain experience in Time Patrol and Parallel Quests. High-level mentors are more difficult to gain experience for. You can see your level in the "Player Data" menu.
How to earn money and experience quickly?
When you're a bit further in the game, the Old Rivals and Dragon Balls challenge will let you earn 15000 XP and an equal amount of Zeni in less than a minute! You have to collect three Dragon Balls scattered across the city. You don't have to worry about enemies, just collect the balls. It can be repeated as many times as you want.
After you complete the Legendary Super Saiyan Saga and new challenges, you will unlock a new quest: Dangerous Duo! Warriors Never Rest, where you'll get 15000 XP and 60000 Zeni for collecting three Dragon Balls.
How to find Dragon Balls?
There is only one way of acquiring the Dragon Balls. When you're doing a quest, find a Time Patroller, a character created by other players. They are in most challenges in which you have to move between arenas. Activate your Scouter after every fight and look for an NPC with a question mark. When you talk to him, a fight will start. When you win, you'll get a notification about obtaining a "Key Item". It does not have to be a Dragon Ball, the probability is lower when you try to get the ball several times in the same quest. You have to win the whole quest to keep the ball.
