Sub job shrines aren't hidden at all, look for the icon with 4 pillars on your mini map radar. Yeah there's an area between each town but some are harder than others

I used some dance in a boss fight and it said something "exp 100". I thought it gave me 100 exp and thought the skill was trash. Then I finished the fight. Turns out it was a exp multiplier. By 100x. I went from level 36 to level 50. aaaand I rely entirely on autosaves and it saved after the fight. Oops.

My current team is Tressa Cyrus Therion Primrose (I can be easily swayed to anyone on this spot though) I'm really bad with deciding on subclasses. Any suggestions? I have Cyrus subclassed as a Cleric

Well I found one of the extra subclass's shrines and got the answer to my earlier question... The boss had 171k hp and got 2 actions per turn, and changed its weaknesses periodically. Maybe if I he only acted once per turn I could keep the magic reflect buff running non-stop on a party member or two and have the boss to suicide on me with their own magic but I doubt it. I imagine doing the fight before the low-mid 40s is going to be real tough without very specific setups and a lot of luck. Finished Therion's chapter 2 and went to explore the desert for a bit. Made it to the southernmost desert town and then went in to the difficulty 50 dungeon nearby and was able to kill random encounters inside. With a team of Therion (29), Tressa (20), Cyrus (17), and Ophilia (14) because stuff was weak to ice/thunder (one's also weak to swords) and I have two scholars in my party with multihit spells. One of the enemies always spends their first turn using an atk buff, so any time I fought 3 of them I usually cleared the fight without taking damage. Picked up a viper dagger inside too (purple chest) and it's an absurd weapon with over 300atk that can sometimes poison. It's tempting to just grind in there for a bit because it's a minimum of 2.5k gold, 600 exp, and 150 jp per random encounter. Maybe once I clear all the chapter 2 quests I'll consider it, since only Therion's likely to be in the mid 30s. Everyone else (except H'aanit) is currently 24+ at least. The main reason it was viable is likely due to my decision to run around and buy +ele atk gear off of NPCs I'd seen before which put Cyrus in the mid 700s for his ele attack. Before he hit level 20. Spending 3 BP and with no buffs/debuffs he was doing 7k+ damage to the boss in Therion's ch2 story. I recently found an inferno axe and it has a chance to lower the enemy's ele defense when hit.   (it does kinda remove any threat most enemies would pose) Lord Ephraim posted:I used some dance in a boss fight and it said something "exp 100". I thought it gave me 100 exp and thought the skill was trash. Then I finished the fight. What the gently caress kind of insanity is this?

By the way, if you're ever trying to puzzle out weaknesses, they always show up in the same order. I'm not 100% sure on the order but I know some bits for sure: Weapons are all before elements Sword is the first weapon and axe, bow, staff are at the end (pretty sure in that order). Fire is the first, I think it goes ice, lightning, wind from there but not sure about those three. I haven't seen something with both dark and light yet but they're always on the end. Anyway, I've managed to get through fights a bit easier once I started putting in the effort to puzzle it out. I also ran to the next town after Alfyn's chapter 2 and oh my god there is so much to steal. I also almost feel like it would be cheating to buy some of the equipment here.

Other than Support skills, how can I increase magic damage? Is there a shop that sells Staves? Do Staves even increase damage? Right now it feels like my Warrior has outscaled the rest of my teN in terms of damage, but everyone's gear is pretty lovely.

I chose Primrose and am really happy with her as a protagonist so far (chapter 2). Her story can get too dark for my tastes, but she's super encouraging to Tressa and Alfyn in party convos, and it's really cute to read.

Your spells benefit from whichever of your weapons grants the highest +Ele. Atk. There are stores you can buy staves from, and they're probably your best bet as far as +Ele. Atk goes, but sometimes other weapons have that stat too. Robes and circlets also often have +Ele. Atk (and defense), often at the cost of lower phys. defense. Since it's semi-relevant to mention here, healing spells scale off it +Ele. Def. Spells can wreck just as hard as physical stuff with solid gear!

Is there a shop that sells Staves? Do Staves even increase damage? There is an absurd (300 elemental damage) staff in goldstone (east side of the map) that you can steal if you don't mind being a bit cheaty. Less cheaty, but equally as bullshit is grandport. I'll tag this though it isn't plot spoilers, just mechanics: There is a seven star challenge enemy in front of a door on the first screen of the city. He's relatively easy (apart from having a habit of poisoning). If you beat him (or I guess allure/guide him?) you can go inside and find a lady with a relatively low chance of inspect. It was 13% for me, if I recall correctly. If you successfully inspect her, you learn some neat lore and get thieve's tips. At this point your gear and money problems are solved. My therion was level 25 (you have to run through a level 45 zone to get here, so it is a tad dicey) and he had 100% chance to steal on about 90% of the goods in a town absolutely filled with merchants. Even the majority of stuff that you don't get 100% on is a mere 80% chance instead. You can basically gear up all of your characters to chapter 3/4 gear in a single thieving spree, get a bunch of nuts for stat increases, and walk out with about 150,000+ with very little time or effort.

I just went from level 11 to level 19 in a couple of turns thanks to Primrose's dance. She replaced an enemy with one of those cats, then got exp x 2 in the same dance and then proceeded to summon a monster that killed everyone. I love this game.

Really basic Q here: So it's a game you play 8 times, once with each character, and that gives you different plot stuff? Is your starting character the one who determines whose plot it is? Does changing the leader, change this at all?

Nah you can pick up all the characters and see all of their chapters/stories, your starting character is just the one you're stuck with until you finish their story completely, as far as I've read/experienced they don't change anything at all

Your starting character actually doesn't have that much bearing on the game as a whole. It determines where in the world you start off at and your chosen character is locked into your party until you finish their entire story. You can go recruit every other character and do all their storylines entirely. No need to replay the game to get all the meat and potatoes.

I finished all eight Ch 1’s and not sure what to do next. Several party members are way under leveled. I headed to Therion’s Ch 2, which is level 22 (my strongest characters are roughly level 20 average) and the random fights nearby seem to be kicking my rear end. What should I do? Just grind for levels on random mobs outside the town until I’m tougher? Also, the side quests are kind of confusing. Do they ever yield anything besides monetary or item rewards?

Your can go find the job shrines. They aren't too far or hard to find, look for the icon with four pillars on your mini map radar; if you see that you know you're on the right map. Also between each pair of starting towns you can find a little cave/dungeon/Area which are usually around threat level 15-20 and they're good to explore. Doing either/both of those things, and heading towards the ch. 2 towns just to explore em, should get you to where you feel comfortable taking the next quests on. Sidequests seem to mostly give a good chunk of change and sometimes an item that's good, but they're also charming as heck mostly. I'd recommend doing 'em!

I'm loving this game so far. I did Tressas chapter 2 and I just want the whole game to be about her and her adventures.  The combat has been really enjoyable. I've been doing chapter 2 bosses at the recommended levels and they give me a decent challenege. Going in all guns blazing is not a valid tactic in this game, I really like this. I also like that if i'm in a bad situation and I have a choice between healing my party up or going for a break, the break is usually the better option. This is also the first rpg in a long time where i've been tossing items out every few turns. The fact that some items can cause breaks certainly helps in making them useful. I've found a few subjobs and now i'm debating taking a break to go find all of them or just picking them up as I come across them. Currently "stuck" in H'aanits chapter 2 with the mandatory provoke at the beginning. I failed twice and now i'm out of useful pokemon. I guess i'll just head outside the town and try to catch some new ones. My current party is Cyrus (MC), Ophilia, H'aanit and Tressa. Tressa is awesome but I looooove H'aanit in combat wow. Pokemans OP.

I subbed Warrior to H'aanit and I'm really coming around on her bow skills. There's a ton of damage on the table there, but you really have to spec for accuracy. Thanks for letting us know about that thing with her chapter 2. I can't find a healing monster except for a mossy meep in her starter town, but if provoke keep being difficult like that, it might be worth a trek back.
