Ultimate Universal Piece Beginner’s Guide

Roblox Universal Piece has just been re-released, welcoming both new and old players back into the game. If you are a new player, you may feel a bit overwhelmed or confused about how things work. Don’t worry, we’ve been there too. To help you out, we made this Universal Piece Beginner’s Guide.

What is Universal Piece

Universal Piece is essentially Blox Fruits with higher numbers, prettier graphics, and a bunch of QoL improvements. If you’ve ever played Blox Fruits, you’ll pretty much know exactly what you need to do. If you haven’t, Universal Piece is essentially a grindy MMORPG of the One Piece series. You get to play as a pirate, but instead of going on adventures, you’ll go from one island to the next, beating opponents and leveling up. You do this by accepting quests, finishing those quests, and then redoing them again until you are leveled up enough to go to the next island, where the cycle repeats.

Just like Blox Fruits, Universal Piece is incredibly grindy. If you don’t enjoy fighting the same enemies over and over again, you probably won’t have a good time. If you don’t mind the grind, then you’ll fit right in (we like the grind, btw). For some reason, you’ll gain a lot of levels. They go up to 10,000, but you usually get over 100 for most things you do in the game. When a new update arrives, the devs usually just raise the level cap, add a few fruits, and maybe add another island or two.

Now, even though you’ll be fighting the same enemies over and over again, that doesn’t mean that you have to fight them in the same way. Just like in One Piece, there are (Devil) Fruits that give you superpowers, such as elemental damage, the ability to summon things, and even some really weird and powerful ones. Unlike in One Piece, you actually get to switch Fruits, which is one of the main draws of Universal Piece. Of course, you can also just completely forget about superpowers, and focus on a good old-fashioned weapon, but that’s the less popular choice. For the most part, you are as powerful as the Fruit you have.

How to Get Fruits in Universal Piece

As soon as you start the game, you’ll get your very first fruit from the Daily Login reward. This will likely be a weaker fruit, but you may as well use it anyway. Simply select a fruit from your hotbar, use it, and then pick the option to eat it. Once you do, you’ll gain that fruit’s power.

If you want a different fruit, and you probably do, you have several ways to get them, and we’ll tell you all of them here:

• Power Gacha – There is an NPC in the building just behind you (when you first start), you can pay 100 Gems to roll for a random Fruit
• Power Dealer – In the same building upstairs, there is a Power Dealer NPC (with angel wings) who will sell you Fruits for Gems. Obviously, these cost more Gems, and not all fruits are available at all times. If you are after a specific fruit, you need to keep checking this NPC’s stock whenever he refreshes. Alternatively, you can also permanently buy a Fruit for Robux.
• Drops from Bosses – Bosses have a small chance to drop Fruits
• Out in the wild – You can find Fruits out in the wild or even have someone gift you one. These methods aren’t entirely reliable, and you may be at risk of being scammed, but they are an option.

If you are wondering which Fruits are the best, we made the Ultimate Universal Piece Fruit and Power Tier List.

You can only have one Fruit equipped at a time. If you eat a new fruit, your old fruit power will disappear, and you’ll need to find and eat the old fruit again if you want that power back, so you need to be 100% sure before you switch to a new fruit. You can make this a bit easier by keeping a copy of each fruit in your inventory. When you select a Fruit, store it, and it will be in your inventory if you ever want to use it.

If you want to keep a fruit permanently, you can buy it for Robux. Unfortunately, this can get really expensive, especially for the higher-rarity fruits.

How to Level up in Universal Piece

In Universal Piece, you get the majority of your leveling up by finishing quests, not by beating up enemies. If you are killing enemies and don’t have a quest, you’re likely doing something wrong.

Almost every island in Universal Piece has a Quest NPC who will have several “Kill 10 X” quests for you. For example, on Novice Island, there is a BanditQuest NPC, who will have you kill bandits. If you aren’t sure how long you need to play each quest, or where to go next, Universal Piece has a very handy GuideTracker, which tells you where you need to go, what NPCs you can find, what they do, and can even give you a tracker for them.

When you finish a quest, you’ll likely gain more than a hundred levels, but don’t let that scare you. Each level gives you Stats Points. Levels themselves don’t mean anything unless you spend these points. Open your Stats Screen (the circular icon under the cogwheel), and invest points into your stats. You can invest them into the following:

• Melee – Raises your Energy (mana), and is used when fighting with your fists
• Defense – Raises your HP and overall defense against enemy attacks
• Weapons – Raises the amount of damage you do with your weapon
• Power – Raises the amount of damage you do with your Fruit’s powers

It may seem like you’re supposed to invest wisely into each of these, but in reality, you’re supposed to dump most of your points into either Power (if you are a Fruit user) or Weapons (if you prefer to use a Weapon). The rest you should put into Melee and Defense.

As you’re leveling up, it’a a good idea to have about 80% of your Points into either Power or Weapons, and the other 20% distributed between Melee and Defense. Of course, you don’t have to follow this rule, but it’s how many players like to progress. When you reach the maximum level, you should have maxed out three of the four stats.

Universal Piece Combat Tips

Universal Piece, just like the game it’s based on, has a very simple fighting style. Essentially, enemies will just mindlessly charge at you, and you’re just supposed to hit them first. That’s it. Simply attack the enemies first, preferably using your Fruit powers, and move away when they are about to hit you. The same goes for bosses, who have more powerful attacks and more health, but follow the same logic. if you can, try to fight bosses with other players.

While you can’t parry or dodge attacks, you do have a very handy dash and double jump. You can actually double jump up to 10 times and dash as much as you want. Universal Piece gives you quite a bit of freedom when it comes to traversal.

There is also PvP in the game, and that’s where things get a lot more interesting. Most of the time the person with the better fruit wins, but if you are skilled, you may even overcome someone with a better fruit. If you kill someone in PvP, you immediately collect their bounty. The more players or enemies you’ve killed, the higher your bounty will be.

How to get Gems in Universal Piece

In Universal Piece, you have several forms of currency.

• Yen – is your basic currency used for little things like paying to rent a ship, paying a crafting fee, etc. You get Yen from destroying enemies and finishing quests.
• Gems – the more “premium” currency. These are used for buying Fruits, for playing the Power Gacha, and other late-game activities. You can get them by finishing Daily Quests, Fishing, and they can even drop from bosses. Check out our Universal Piece Gem Farming Guide to learn how to get a bunch of them.
• Other Materials – Specific enemies and bosses can drop Materials and other items which you need for various things, such as Weapon Crafting.

How to Get Weapons in Universal Piece

Getting weapons is a little different than getting Fruits. First, you need to find the right Weapon Vendor. You can use the GuideTracker to find all Weapon NPCs, and it even shows you what weapon they sell. When you talk to a Weapon NPC, they will tell you what materials they need to craft a weapon. Normally, it’s the items that you can find on the same island as the Vendors. Unlike Fruits, you don’t lose your Weapons if you switch them for a better one. Collecting weapons, even if you don’t really need them, is a lot of fun.

That’s all there is to it. Have fun playing Universal Piece. If you haven’t already, check out our Universal Piece codes for some free in-game items.
