I'm still looking for a detailed in-depth explanation to how certain things work; the tutorial is nice but doesn't explain things in the detail that I desire. I'm learning a lot about game design just from playing this game so it is super-helpful for me ^_^. So here are my questions:
- How does 'merging' two characters work? What is gained from the character that is lost/sacrificed?
- The 'bat' battle in the Level Woods seems to have enemies several levels higher than I am already (around 10ish). Is this normal? Is the player meant to grind earlier in the game during the nighttime beginning/tutorial scenario in order to obtain the 'minions' and money that are needed to survive?
- What items/equipment are recommended to get through the game? I start off with 'Bogey' stuff but am uncertain if I should grind for better gear or just upgrade as I go along.
So there are a TON of items. Several types of weapons (with a helpful NPC at the Armory to explain them which is really nice). Then there's stuff that gives stat boosts, essences which grant skills/stats, and some other bits and bobs. I see some armor, accessories, and other seemingly-random things thrown in there like the heart of a young schoolgirl. Gruesome, lol. I love the macabre humor ^_^
I would greatly sincerely appreciate a simple text-based copy and paste from the database of the available types of items (up to tier 15) for each type. I can format it myself later and I don't have the capability to access the database myself. Would you be willing to do this? Maybe stick it in a Google Docs file and link it :)
