HIKINEET'S PROFILE

Eagen is cute. I read his bio and I just want to protect him, teach him, and love him? He's satisfied with a simple life but I want to nurture his potential and have him grow up to be an important person. ...And also date him. He can be my Star Stealing Prince, hehe~ I also find it funny that he lets you loot his wardrobe on a daily basis a few times.

Daggers seem to be the best weapon for Eagen due to his higher agility/luck stats. I tried having him use Dancing Blade but it just doesn't compare. Probably on account of Double Strike being the only skill I could use for a long time (Cause it's the only skill I had; damn random skill trainers that didn't show up til Day 9) so it got leveled up 3 times. Daggers are best for bosses but Bowling Bash (Sword) is still supreme for killing monster parties. Flare is also amazing for wiping out 3-4 enemies since most of them are weak to fire if you look at the monster bestiary (library in menu). Ankaba needs only one cast to kill (after boosting with her Concentrate) so I'd advise teaching Flare to her first if possible. You can get one Dual Flames tome from the Alchemist/Enchanter house if you search the upstairs wardrobe. I taught it to Renait so she'd have a stronger spell than Lavastrike until I could afford to get Flare for her.

I got my Merchant (Profession) Level to 2 and now my buddy, Gunsqueak is paying me 25% more money for everything I sell him. Monster drops are really racking in money on the third floor and down.

Found some Large Eggs. You can get 1-2 of them in a loot bag on the ground but only in that one section of Runelea Plains where EvilEagles are flying around. Oh, and loot bags on the 4th floor of the Colorous cave too. I can make Lucky Sashimi with them but I think I'll save them in case they're ingredients for the other stat foods whose recipes I don't have yet. Besides the HP Curry and MP Omelet, Luck I think is a low priority stat. I'd prefer assurance of damage increase/reduction over a slight increased chance to do a critical hit.

Hired the Maid that the Weekly Salesman provides. Pricy but she can craft you an item for free once per day. Though it'll take a while before she levels up enough to make better stuff. 14 Ironplates is 500 gold each (with Gunsqueak's sell boost) so she can pay you back 7k of the 10k you paid for her by the time she levels up her Crafting once. Though it's random what she gives you so it's a good idea to auto-save in front of her and reload til you get what you want.

Berserker Potion is a Recipe you can get from Red Recipe Books (which are dropped semi-frequently by floor 3 Colorous monsters so you'll eventually get all the Red recipes). It doubles your exp gained from crafting for one whole day. Ideally you should use it at a profession you're level 10 or higher at. And make sure you have bought the Hot Springs Deed from the Weekly Salesman to get an additional 100 AP to work with per day. Cooking and Blacksmithing are easy since they have many recipes spaced out for leveling. But Tailoring, Alchemy, and Enchanting are harder to grind. Enchanting in particular is expensive in both AP cost and spending cost to level because the recipes are spaced at ten level gaps. And since you get less exp for making a recipe lower level than your Profession level... Yeah, eventually it'll start giving like only 10 exp each (with Berserker potion active) so you need to make 10 (use 100 AP) just to level up.

Bertram is a pretty nice younger brother since he's the one who cooks for the family. His semi-daily quest gives you his lunch that he cooked so he must have at least level 20 cooking. Although I feel like you should get like 50 friendship pts with him after you

Linus on the other hand is rude and lazy. In his bio, it says he has no intention of continuing being a blacksmith's apprentice. I feel bad that a hard worker like Sally has to deal with him as a sibling.

Liffeny is also a rude person too. Saying that Bertram deserved So hostile. Qwilite is much nicer and her lime pie is tastier too so Ice Queen Liffety can suck on that.

Connie is a cool, tough mom. She has some interesting comments since she can be found shopping at the inn/blacksmith/general store on days she's not working. My favorite line is when she said that annoying emo dog is gonna eat her steel blade if she sees it again. XD

Okay, reached the fifth floor of Colorous Cave

I was expecting a difficult confrontation

Also I tried fighting the boss of the special mission that Zathus gives you

I did the special quest where you kill 100 Leprous Hares

I want to have Mirror Boy flirt with the twins and then they polish his mirror with lots of vigorous rubbing. It's... uhhh... a distraction method!

99 heroes, hmm? Even though I like variety, I think it would be difficult to make a unique skillset for that many characters.

With a name like Chronos, I think time skills will be part of his repertoire. Whether it be Haste/Slow/Pause, a delayed skill with a timer countdown before it "explodes", cooldown skills (can only be used every # turns; mimicking hours), DoTs & HoTs (maybe a skill that compresses multiple turns of poison damage all into one turn's worth?), a 'Hyper Beam'-type skill that either requires one turn to charge or leaves you vulnerable the turn after. Maybe even a skill that changes effect based on whether you use it on an even or odd number turn.

Battle Alchemist is a neat concept though I suppose it wouldn't be as good if placed in Shadow Song since you can make potions if you join the Alchemy Guild (not available in Demo). Elemental potions would be a good way for Clerics to deal dmg once you can brew them, assuming the Herbalist perk not only affects the healing potency of potions but also their damage.

The vampire? Zarina could have some blood spells that cost a % of her HP.

A class that can unlock multiple monster forms (shapeshifter?) would be interesting. Quite strategic since they would all have different elemental resists/skillsets.

Reminds me of Etrian Odyssey's maps.
