Mountaineer posted:Is there a trick to getting monster hearts? I've never gotten a single one except for a slime heart from the card matching game and the healslime heart at Alltrades. Are they just really rare drops? Tablet dungeons making sure to kill the desired monster last. It took me about 180 kills to get 5 for some of the monsters. That seems like somewhere between 1/10 and 1/20 chance, since you can only get a heart from the last monster killed.

Sounds like you still need to do Nottagen, right? If so my fragment list shows the pieces being in: Temple Palace treasure room, first level of Highendreigh Tower in the present, and boss of present Highendreigh.

Decus posted:I could see a DQVII guide being the thinnest not because most of the game is grinding--it's probably the easiest DQ and needs the least grinding, even on PSX--but because its dungeon design contains few relevant paths and the rest of it is exposition which in a guide is maybe a few sentences per area on how to progress it. It's not like a zelda game guide where you are traversing 100% of every dungeon. In DQ7 most of the bad paths are at best to give you a vantage on chests/good paths but in a guide you'd just skip those entirely. Fair enough; I don't doubt you. I was just theorycrafting.

You only need 1 heart/character and you can unlock intermediate and 'advanced' monster jobs much like you can human ones. So, you can use a Drakslime heart to unlock the Drakslime class, or you could fully level Slime and Lizardman and it would pop up unlocked like Sage does when you fully level Mage and Priest.

It's a bad example though because you can't find Lizardman (Mandrake Major) until the part of the game I'm at. Probably the easiest combo you can do from what I'm reading is Kingfuschia, Chimaera, and Jawtoise to make Dingbat. It sucks that I'm not allowed to go to the Haven at this point of the game unless I'm missing something. I definitely would like to try and grab some new hearts for combos, but I'm pretty much stuck with the classes I've got for the time being.

Well you just follow up the Dingbat with a Well Wisher (Mimic+Berserker) and you'll have Prism Peacock which unlocks Scorch at its next to last level and has a number of other unique and useful abilities. Unless you do a lot of farming you probably won't master that by the end of the game. A lot of the hearts can alternatively be won from Lucky Square which lets you skip ahead of your current enemy selection and each character only needs six hearts to eventually grind up to the best class. I've been playing Ruff as primarily monster class. The only human classes he's mastered are Monster Masher and its prerequisites, and I've not had a issue with heart availability. It might be a problem if you want everyone to be a monster as you progress through the game, but I think there are plenty of chests have hearts such that you won't need to grind prior to Haven and Monster Park being unlocked except for a little Lucky Square.

My Ruff has mastered Monster Masher and oh boy is it going to hurt when ever I decide to change him to something else and loss Scorch.

I've fallen WAY behind on playing this game but it now officially has priority over Dead Rising and SMT4A I originally opened this tab to complain about the encounter rate in the volcano are on the second island but then Maribelle learned Bang. Nevermind.

Yes, huge improvement. Of course Kiefer also learned more than one ability, but I'm not convinced ParryPass was ever a good idea (why would I want to spend a turn making my party member with the highest HP pass off attacks to someone else?) so that basically just left Psyche Up.

I've played a fair share of Pokemon-esque monster raising games but the DQM series is still the only one where it really feels like you achieved something when you snag a rare monster, especially early on. Stumbling into getting a metal slime and metal hunter before even taking the D rank trial in Terry's remake ain't half bad

I feel like they made him ever so slightly more tolerable in the remake. Not sure if they changed anything or if it's just the translation having more characters to work with.

Fourth island spoiler: Auuuuuuuuugh I'm so mad, partially at myself, partially at the game. I never visited the woodcutter so I had no idea who the person who could talk to animals was, so I was in a desperate panic running around the island. If you talk with your party members, Maribelle will be like "Hmmm, I don't think anyone who can talk to animals is here" in the castle town and in the fishing village, but if you go to the castle she says "You think maybe there's someone who can talk to animals in the castle?" I took that as a hint and spent the last 20 minutes trying to talk to every single person in the castle five times, only to get mad and give up and stumble on the Woodcutter when I wondered if I had been there before.

I got the snappy slippers from the stamp rewards, and I have to say I can't even tell if there actually a difference in movement speed with them equipped. Maybe just getting them upgrades the movement speed? Edit: or maybe it's just on the world map in which case it's pretty worthless at this point.

You have to talk to the guy in the Monster Park to get them to appear. The guy you give enclosures to, not the tablet guy or Dogsbody. That's the point where you drop them off and the marks appear.

Kiefer's kinda framed as the hero, being the dashing prince, the Midenhall of the early trio, and the most proactive about solving the mysteries of the world, but he continually runs away from his responsibilities and ultimately can't even bring himself to talk to his best friend (much less his family) directly before leaving forever. Kiefer's a chump

Am I somehow sabotaging myself by killing them with boomerangs, so there's not just a single "last" monster? I'll switch to single-target weapons and see if it helps.

I think both Rockbomb, Berserker and Goodybag all are fairly late. Berserker is in the 2nd to last colored fragement island, Jewelbag is on the last colored fragment island, Rockbomb is the 2nd grey fragment. I think a couple of them will be in world map treasure chests that you can get quite a bit earlier but I can't remember which specifically or where, though I'm pretty sure it's Rockbomb.

I'm not actually sure if the received dungeons also have the boosted drop rate. I only ever used created dungeons. Trying single target may help, but if you go twenty battles without a drop you should probably call it off. LostRook fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Sep 26, 2016 |
