Nel is max do I need to unlock feyen first? Because candy is is already at level 5 I tried going to the deepwood forest and feyen is not there and I'm currently at level 45 and the bartender says explore alone in the scorching sands
I usually follow simple logic: first I look for new story quests (if I don't have enough logic, I go talk to the bartender, but this point should obviously be the second :-) ), then I try to help Celica become a better mage (search for new ingredients, improve items in the inventory, use items and skills in battles, increase levels for Candy, Faylen to green levels), best friend (for this we ask Nel to use the body, inviting friends, at the same time we pump up Celica's level and friendship). Well, and then you can ask the fortune teller how to improve the relationship. Usually you need to complete some quests or buy an artifact from L.
In general, it is difficult to get stuck in this game, especially when compared to other jRPGs.
