To all the folks with free time and the interest, Haru Arahishi's G1 run light post-dinner jog and Arahishi Keuran's G3 luncheon tricycle derby are hereby tentatively scheduled for Sunday-Monday. If Xandak is struck by lightning and discovers he no longer needs to eat or sleep, he might be able to join in on the latter. If not, no worries, at the least I for one can run it twice.

Anyone else with anything planned, or suggestions, should post! I'm quite up for commerce, dungeoneering, and just generally goofing around.

Don't duel Arahishi, he's a fellbeast.

Why do people keep thinking I'm the one doing G3, D:

btw, I'm Arahishi, if the confusion has been nobody knowing my IGN.

[Ibid Straydrink]

Fixed!

[Facekillz058]

I'm so awesome I don't run through content, but jog through them lightly after meals,
You are hilarious, Ibid, never change.

I’m going to be trying to tackle the Barri Dungeon in G1 tonight but not likely until late.  If anyone else is still on G1 we could try grouping up.  I wouldn’t want to slow anyone down though.  I figured I’d try a daily rebirth, level exploration a little more for some extra AP, and then go after the rest of G1 as far as I can manage.

Again, some more questions:

Exploration: Is there a sweet spot for raising exploration early on?  Right now I don’t have much in ranged capability so I’d guess rafting would be out.  I’ve just been grinding the vanished bird statue exploration quest for some easy levels.  I can usually get to 10 or 11 before I get too bored with it.

Pets: Are pets worth it for soloing dungeons and early combat?  I know there are some tricks with pet rebirth that you can go from one pet to another and carry over higher level skills.  I’ve seen some people say Imp -> Something for magic and Bear -> Something for healing and crits.  Apparently you can also play as a pet.

Free skill resets under 300: Is this a big deal?  With all of the grinding you’d have to put in to level a second skill set it would seem not worth it but since AP is harder to get at higher levels does this provide a large advantage?

Exploration: If you can alert me, I can take you rafting.  r5 Crash Shot harvests plenty of rafting.  Otherwise, being elf-aligned or whatever can let you go into the desert and find Lost Elves - some of them are worth 1,000 exploration exp each.

Pets: Some are very decent, such as anything with a summon attack (dragons, Pegasus, scooter...) or anything particularly strong, like the griffon or Pegasus... you can see how these are mostly limited edition pets.  Others will help in other ways, such as Herb Gnu and Cobra - poison attacks are based off the enemy's HP, so a properly placed poison strike can deal WAY more DPS than you'd ever be capable of achieving.

The main purpose for pets is storage though.  You can rebirth pets into different animals, which will keep the skills they've gained but allow them to gain new skills - the Thunder Spaniel rebirthed into a pig, would still be a pig able to cast Thunder.  Otherwise, rebirthing is RARELY useful for pets.  They don't gain anything really.

Skill Resets: Only really useful if you play as a mage or alchemist and then realize this is a terrible start, and want to go melee or something.  The skill training time isn't a big deal, especially with talents you gain skill exp faster than you gain AP, so don't even worry about that.  You might also do some small trickery with this, like maxing Production Mastery, resetting it, then working on Refining, then getting Production back up - Refining is a unique skill because you're required to fail to level up.  Otherwise, the reset is just in case you've started a skill path you don't like and want to try a different option.

Skill reset can also be useful for ranking up some of the most CP dependent skills. Some skills, like windmill, will be a pain to rank once your CP raise, so ranking those early could be a good idea. Resetting after ranking them would allow to keep the training without having to invest large amount of AP into a skill that might not be essential to your main build, allowing you to rank it slowly as you later get extra AP.

I'll be on later tonight and could help with G1, or whatever else.

[Facekillz058]

I'm going to be on  tonight as well and depending on if I'm doing other stuff, I can probably help you with Barri.
The entire thing is really a faceroll, until the Shadow Wizard.
Then, dem wisps be hatin'

[Seriyu]

Everything in that boss fight is a caster, so don't forget to rush something if you manage to grab it's attention! Caster AI really cannot deal with you running up and hitting them in the face, and if they do remember to attack they usually don't do a whole lot of melee damage, at least that early on.

[Keuran]

If anyone still wants backup for barri or albey, I'm up for catching some lightning bolts and picking fights with gargoyles later tonight.

[Ibid Straydrink]

Trying to wind my way up G10 today, but I a find myself stuck on the first RP missions. I don't know what planet the people who thought that being handed a dated character who was terribly underpowered even in his heyday would be fun are from, but I hope they've long since returned and left future plot developments to folks less interested in gimmicks. >_>

Anyhow, it looks like I'll be needing a partner for the next bit, if anyone happens to feel like joining me for a masochistic Karu run.

[Singularity125]

Alas, Ibid, I didn't get struck by lightning, I was struck by pokemon.

I'm up to the final dungeon of G2 now, but don't feel like trekking through it tonight. Probably next weekend is when I'll actually be going through content again. I have so many games and so little time... but, if there is somebody going through G3 at that time, let me know. I'll try to work around it.

Take your time, and post here if things seem dead when you're ready.

Aeviternus added to the guild!

[Facekillz058]

I'm doing G3 at the moment so if you need help with anything and I'm on, lemme know.

[Facekillz058]

oh my god. According to the Wiki, the third AP potion from the attendance check is worth 100 AP!
I would have been happy with 50, but DAYUM.


ANNND the potion lasted all of 3 minutes,
