- I want to play Touken Ranbu, but I have a problem with the region
Some people have complained about the region problem, you can see the full explanation here :
- I can't play, all the servers are full
A key to the answer : be patient. Touken Ranbu has some servers which you need to choose before playing the game. Once you're a part of the server, you can't remove yourself from it. Each servers have their own capacity to hold players, so if the servers are full, you can't play for a moment until the new server added.
http://touken-ranbu.wikia.com/wiki/Servers
(May 17, 2015) From the information on the wiki, all servers are currently full
If you're lucky, you can play without waiting for the new server, so once the new server is out, make sure to register yourself to play immediately!
- After 42389857297324 years playing, still no jijii
Most of people complain about how they can't get any jijii (Mikazuki Munechika) either from drops or smithing. Answer : It's all based from luck. Some sources said that the "kami" recipe (525/680/680/595) is effective enough to get a high rarity sword, but from my own experience (2 times smithing with the same recipe) :
1st : using bamboo ema, got 02:30 timer : Ishikirimaru
2nd : no ema, got 01:30 timer : Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki
So, there are no any default recipe for any type of swords (except tantou and wakizashi), especially for high rarity sword, such as Jijii and Kogi, which most of people seek for.
For some recipe, you can see it on : http://touken-ranbu.wikia.com/wiki/Smithing
And about the drops, we can predict which swords will drop after we clear any map / level
In short :
Map 1-2 : most likely tantou
Map 3-4 : mostly uchigatana, some tachi drops here too
Map 5 : some uchigatana, and more tachi
Map 6 : mixed
More specific :

If it's because of the dice game, check if you're stuck in either 3-4 or 5-2. If you're stuck there, it's fine, the dice game is real and most of the player have the same experience. But, if you're not stuck in the mentioned level, then you need to be patient to reach the boss node. Since the route is complicated enough, it's normal for you to go on 10+ times sortie to reach the boss, just BE PATIENT!
- Because my party is still weak
People often don't have any problem until map 3, so I'll give you a guide from map 3. These are guides to let you pass the level easily
Map 3 :
At least 3 swords of your main party have reached toku level (level 20/25), and the others are no less than level 15
Equip at least 1 troops for each swords (tantou can hold maximum of 1, most swords 2, and higher level swords can hold up to 3 troops equipped with them) Troops will defend your swords from losing their HP. If you have a lot of resources, it's better to equip your swords will full troops (maximum troops each swords can hold)
At least 2 of your swords can kill an enemy in one slash
Map 4 :
At least 3 swords of your main party have reached level 30 or more, and the others are already reached their toku level.
At least 3 or more of your swords can kill an enemy in one slash
Equip full troops
2 Tachi and Oodachi are required to pass the level easily
Map 5 :
All of your swords must reach level 40 or more
It's highly recommended to have all of your swords to kill enemy in one slash
Equip full troops, better to have gold troops if possible
3 Tachi and Oodachi are required to pass the level easily
All battles on Map 6 are night battles.
Oodachi has low mobility. It means they attack slower than the other type of swords. Equip them with horse, so they can slash 3 enemies at once faster and make you pass the level more easily
Place wakizashi as your leader, if possible. Wakizashi has higher scouting skill than the other type of swords
When you're leveling a sword, place them as the leader, so they can get higher experience points than the other swords (except MVP)
The best place for leveling your swords are the places which you can pass easily without having your troops lost or losing some HP.
