Travel Town Splitter Guide

Uncover the power of the Splitter. This guide explains what this rare item does, how to get it, and the best strategies for using it effectively.

The Splitter item in Travel Town next to a high-level merge item

What is a Splitter in Travel Town?

The Splitter is a single-use consumable item that performs the opposite action of merging. When you drag a Splitter onto a mergeable item, it will break that item down into the two lower-level items that were used to create it. For example, using a Splitter on a Level 5 item will give you two Level 4 items.

It's an incredibly powerful tool for correcting mistakes or fulfilling multiple tasks at once. Because of its utility, the Splitter is one of the rarest and most valuable special items in the game.

How to Get a Splitter

Splitters are not easy to come by. You cannot get them from regular producers or simple tasks. They are premium rewards reserved for special occasions.

High-Tier Event Rewards: The most common way to get a Splitter is as a high-level milestone or grand prize in a special event. You will need to perform very well in the event to earn one.
Special Shop Offers: Occasionally, a Splitter might be included in a special bundle available for purchase with real money in the in-game shop.
Developer Gifts: In very rare instances, the developers might give out a Splitter as part of a special community gift or compensation for a major server issue. Don't count on this as a regular source.

The Best Strategic Uses for a Splitter

Since Splitters are so rare, you should never waste them. Using one correctly can save you a massive amount of time and energy. Here are the best times to use a Splitter.

1. Fulfilling Multiple Tasks at Once

This is the number one best use for a Splitter. Imagine you have two different tasks from townspeople:

Task A requires one Level 7 Globe.
Task B requires one Level 7 Globe.

Instead of building two separate Level 7 Globes, you can build one Level 8 Globe. Then, use a Splitter on the Level 8 Globe. It will break down into two Level 7 Globes, allowing you to complete both tasks instantly. This strategy is a massive time and energy saver.

2. Correcting an Accidental Merge

Have you ever accidentally merged two high-level items that you needed for separate tasks? It's a frustrating mistake that can set you back hours. A Splitter is the perfect undo button. Simply use it on the accidentally created higher-level item to get your two original items back.

3. Downgrading an Unneeded High-Level Item

Sometimes you might create a very high-level item (e.g., Level 9) but your current tasks only require Level 8 items. Instead of selling the Level 9 item or letting it clog up your board, you can use a Splitter to break it down into two Level 8 items, which are immediately useful for your tasks.

When NOT to Use a Splitter

On Low-Level Items: Never waste a Splitter on items below Level 5 or 6. The energy and time it takes to remake these items is minimal, and not worth the value of a Splitter.
On Producer Parts: Do not use a Splitter on producer parts. You almost always want to merge producers to their highest possible level.
Just to Free Up Space: If your board is full, it's better to sell items or use your pouch for storage. A Splitter is too valuable to be used as a simple space-clearing tool.

The Splitter is a strategic asset. Save it for a high-impact moment, and it can dramatically accelerate your progress in Travel Town. Think of it as your secret weapon for maximum efficiency.
