haha, in the third floor of the first dungeon I encountered an enemy that onehitted my whole party. Thank god I left the dungeon to level up and save the game before checking what that red dot on the map is, otherwise 2 hours of playtime would have been wasted :D

To defeat that all I did was charm it with a tarot card (using the bard skill). It just kills itself.

Ohh, thanks for the advice, will try next time!

As far as I could tell, you don't actually have to fight it. Seems like it's an optional boss.

BTW, I was in that giant tree and killed the evil fairy boss, is there anyone I should talk to about that? Anyone who even acknowledges it? Is it part of a quest or just something you do for no reason??

Yep, it sure is, I already unlocked the second dungeon. But of course I want to defeat the optional guys too, might also make me moar powerful

 

[Mortmal]

Its probably like in etrian odissey , FOE are left to be killed later with way more levels . If you dont use a tarot card i dont see how to do it with a lot more power.

It seems to me that the treasure that drops isn't related to the enemies you're fighting, but the floor you're on. Enemies seem to drop the same thing regardless of their type or how many there are. Has anyone else noticed this or am I just going crazy?

Seems that way. Killing a turdmonster on the 3rd floor gives you the same shot at loot that a full party of humans does.

I Google-translated the Japanese wiki for the game, and that looks to be the case. The floors (and not the encounters themselves) have a "Common" "Uncommon" "Rare" list that the game pulls from when you find items.

 

[deuxhero]

If monster drops aren't body parts that actually makes sense under the idea that monsters aren't carrying around a bunch of coins and a magic sword because they have a use for it, but because it belonged to whatever they killed in the past.

Full blown fucking brothers.

Jesus Christ. I rolled stats for 6 hours today, and never got higher than 31 points. Before my alcoholism I was probably autistic enough to roll for 50 hours straight, but apparently I'm a pussy now.

Edit: Another 2 hours of rolling and I got bupkis. I'm gonna take a break and watch Bridges of Madison County.

2nd Edit: Just had a moment where I didn't know if it was 3:30 in the morning or 3:30 in the afternoon. I guessed wrong...

 

[Mortmal]

31 is not enough for ninja , not that i would roll hours to check too....

Wich floor ? Theres one thing i hate about this game is the need to buy maps for each use, it takes inventory spaces and its easy to miss spots , secret rooms, or forget wich npc is quest related.

 

[Sinatar]

You get a reusable map eventually. Third dungeon I think.

Seems like it takes a 38. Curt Schilling is laughing at me.

Edit: After reading the manual, it looks like there are pretty good benefits to all the thief classes (thief, bard, hunter, ninja).

Just drop one of your people off in the Tavern, and take the pre-gen Bishop (I think there is one?) ... I believe to start the quest for the Naturo cosplayer Ninja kid you only need a level 5 Bishop. Level the pre-gen to 5, get and do quest, dump them for your dude again.

 

[Jaesun]

OK started a new party, Valk,Valk,Sam,Bard,Alch,Bishop. Bard has Song of Healing. Dear lord that saved my ass from an almost party wipe combat encounter. <3

This is like GAMING CRACK for me.

 

[Sinatar]

Yea song of healing is the business.

 

[Scroo]

Hmm, my current party contains of Valk, Brawler, Sam, Bard, Cleric, Wizard

Wizard and Cleric have good alignment which would mean I'd have to exchange them both if I want that ninja from the first dungeon. I guess I could replace the cleric with an alchemist or bishop and the wizard with a ninja. On the other hand what would I need the bard for then? Somehow his sleep lute is pretty useless and the ninja can pick locks too. So maybe an alchemist for the bard? Decisions, decisions...

 

[Jaesun]

I'm a read headed Dwarven Woman! Must be my new drag queen look. :D

 

[Zetor]

How does the entire "losing/gaining attribute points at level up" system work? I want to turn my cleric into a lord eventually... but it won't happen if he keeps losing STR and/or luck every level.

 

[TigerKnee]

Assuming they're using the same system as the PSP game, older characters get more stats at CharGen but has a higher chance of losing stats when leveling up.

So basically the best long-term party is a team of JRPG teenagers.

 

[eric__s]

It's random but influenced by race and age. The maximum any race can achieve in any stat is their base +10 and it's pretty rare to max out a stat initially. Once you're older, your characters will be more likely to lose stats.

Just keep leveling up, the overall trend is that your stats will increase. Don't savescum like a noob.

 

[Zetor]

Yea, I wasn't planning on savescumming it either way. Was just a bit weird to see my stats decrease at level-up, is all (my crew is all younguns, btw). thxinfo!
