After saving the image, expanding them, turning the contrast on my computer alllll the way up, and awkwardly pointing the camera directly at it for between 15-45 seconds, I managed to scan two QR Codes. So there you go, it works. It completely defeats the purpose of using a QR code to transmit data, and was just incredibly shabbily done all-around, but it does technically 'work.'

Hmm, looking at the mastery names for Necromancer it seems unwise to have one and a rover on the same team. Lots of those skills seem to want as many wraiths as possible when using em. So with that being the case I'm thinking of switching it out. Currently running F/H : S/N/R Can't decide between Dragoon Pugilist or Warlock instead of the Necro? Fencers been pretty much chains chains chains Harbinger doing not much pre-names but going to bring the death now. Shaman is workling towards invoke gods or the 5x dance oracle move. Rover is a hawker.

It depends on the Mastery; the only Spirit Broker skill that benefits from sacrificing multiple ghosts at once is, I believe, Wraith Explosion. Avoid if you want to make use of that particular skill, but otherwise not a huge deal. Spirit Evoker doesn't want anyone else touching the summon slots though. The real conflict with Necromancers are the Dragoon Bunker/Pillbox skills which draw aggro to the summon row. Wraiths do not like getting hit.

I'd imagine combo pugilist would be really good for that, as that's a pretty standard chain killer setup. That also being said, chain killer is... probably the second most damaging setup to run in the entire game.

I finally went back and stomped the stratum 1 boss (it was really easy, just going into it with some basic knowledge of the fight and focusing on the body instead of always focus-firing an appendage). Nobody even died, they tanked a few Explosions to the face and got on with the fight. Can't wait to start the second stratum, I basically walked around for a few steps taking in the scenery before bailing back to town.

Agh, nothing like reclassing a character and forgetting to put any points in racial skills, then wondering why you can't forage for anything.  In the other hand, botanist is working a lot better than shaman was for the third stratum and all the poison bullshit it's throwing around! Plus now I have access to blind and panic for things that don't melt to the glory of Poison Bomb.

Curse damage conditionals continue to be the bane of my existence. The conditional drop might as well be "kill with an unbuffed basic attack", because that's how much backlash damage curse deals to enemies in practice, assuming they're using a damaging multi-hit attack. At least I got the Plague Demon's conditional fairly easily. Not looking forward to doing it yet again for that post-game sidequest.

Are... are there supposed to be no new quests once you get to 23F? I thought there was supposed to be one off the bat and one that you randomly get.

Lili's quest isn't random; the prerequisite scene is unlocked by chopping on 23F. The other one you have to also have mined something on 22F to unlock, according to atwiki.

That... actually makes sense. The mining quest specifically mentions that NPC getting inspired to ask by seeing all the funky rocks you were hauling back to town from the 5th Stratum.

The chop quest by Lili has the same flavor text, where she comments on the wood you brought back from the 5th stratum. The plague demons aren't so bad, provided you have mana guard and petrification immunity. I had my dodge tank (and my dragoon) so I made the multi hit attack whiff. I honestly think one punch FOEs are harder because they just hit harder, but multi hit attacks can pile up the hurt.

Formaldehyde, though I believe the enemy mob you can do that trick with is post-game content. This is usually the case with Formaldehyde because most of the stuff you'd use it for like gold boss drops is used to make weapons in the 250,000en range, give or take.

What's the enemy / FOE? That enemy is the alluring imp and you can find it in pairs or singles starting on 27F, and on 30F they come in groups of 4 or 5. If you do use this trick you have to kill them all in one fell swoop. It's easier to just panic them, IMO. Oh and, I beat crystal dragon with 5 dragoons. Dragoons are a good party member for crystal dragon. It took a while to get 9 stacks of gun revenge but once I had my bunker wall up, it got easier. Put it to sleep and buster cannoned it. Sleep was lucky. Black mist + hypno cannon didn't land sleep, but then it landed next turn. So okay. Blademaster_Aio fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Nov 21, 2017 |

It's a nice change to have the attack items not suck. They actually have a reasonably good base chance to inflict for once. Ideally you still want the character using them to have a good LUC stat (+Status ATK Up if possible), but it lets you focus on one part of a skill tree like oh, say, Toxic Reap without abandoning the other ailments.

You know what's cathartic? Saying 'gently caress it,' and just mowing down Plague Demons. That's what I settled on doing to navigate 25F. Because gently caress trying to figure out an entire floor of sliding not-ice mazes with those things skating after you. Getting the shortcut before the boss was very, very satisfying. The boss itself... I didn't realize what the hell the miasma was doing until I looked it up. Should help on subsequent attempts, but he also has just over 35,000HP and the best I can do is around 600-800, depending on whether my Masurao's Triple Strike feels like giving me crits or not. Part of the issue is party makeup and skill choices. I hate the second name system, because you can't see your 'advanced' skills from the start, so you're kinda hosed if you've set up your first page of skills 'wrong.' Sure, you can rest and redistribute points, but that leads to another issue - grinding. My party's 59-60 (Crystal Dragon decided to be a dick and nuked my Reaper/Medic the turn it died to create a massive XP gap  ) with a Reaper/Dragoon/Masurao Necro/Medic and I kinda don't know what the best way to level further is. I've done every side quest, as far as I know. Grinding enemies and FOEs on the 5th seems like the only option, but the enemy spread is horrible and the FOEs just suck.If I had known about the Gun Turrets early, I would've not made a Necro. There are too goddamn many 'summon a thing' dudes this time around. Party composition feels strangely shoehorned in that you just can't do certain classes together because then you're vying for what's on the summoned-thing row. So my Necro's relegated to Negative Energy spam and destroying any Wraiths that show up uninvited so my Dragoon can put up Gun Turrets. But then she's relegated to just using mana guard or w/e it's called, and that doesn't save me from Burning Miasma. poo poo nuked me even with that skill maxed. I dunno. I'll over-level it eventually. I really just don't want to re-do 5 levels without a good, fast way to regain them. Everyone's had a moment like that in one Etrian or another, I feel like. Hitting a wall, surveying your team's poo poo, then shrugging and just deciding to brute force it since you just don't want to have to grind those levels back out.

You can see race skills when you're selecting which race to pick on the character creation screen (it's pressing X I think), then you can check which classes have what skills. Finally when Egar asks you to pick a legendary title, you can press X before you make your selection to check which mastery has which skills.

The prompt for it could stand to be a little more visible, but it's definitely there; the game rarely forces you to make blind decisions. At worst you get a couple skills like '<blank> Mastery' which sound better than they are.
