Just one more thing!
So far one minor complaint about 2d mode: getting mounts is lot less consistent, but not enough to be a problem.

Have they changed any of the builds/skills on the switch version? For example I remember the hero always being strongest with 2H sword, and Jade strongest with spears.

Nope the skills seem to be largely identical

Ah ok. But from I've been reading some of the encounters have been modified. Not sure if I want to pick up the switch version, already 100% the game for the most part on PC with stronger monsters.

Is there a list somewhere of everything the Switch version added/removed?

I decided to try a run with all the Draconian Quest options turned on. I've barely made it to the Kingsbarrow and I'm pretty confident in saying that this is an impossible challenge.

Any advice, beyond giving up?

Yeah! I turned mine off. :) I realized I was just getting hurt and having to heal more, which made the going tedious, so I went back to normal monsters. Not sure about the other ones - lower xp for weak monsters is probably alright but I trust myself not to overlevel.

kinda dirty of them to hide the metal slimes but i can understand why. I guess I'm gonna have to look at spawn lists in certain zones if I want to level up a bit. I also see no reason to never have a party member NOT wearing the 2x gold vest.

Note that there’s an extremely low cap on the gold and exp vests.

so does it eventually stop being useful? I was under the impression that later on the risk was using a piece of armor that didn't provide good defenses.

I don’t remember what the gold vest caps at but the exp vest caps at like ~70-75 exp

Its basically never worth using them. They cap out at like +150 extra gold and 75 extra exp which is trivial even in the beginning of the game

Going by the description, it is 10%, it just caps at those numbers. Which is kind of annoying.

I dunno why, Id normally really like him. I think its that the hero cant respond so a lot of his more fun stuff doesnt have much to bounce off? Like when hes with Dave (I enjoy the pronunciation a ton) hes quite good.

These extra interstitial chapters could have been dropped methinks.

Slime Quest can be set to autoplay, no turbo required. Despite its look you have very little control over the outcome.

I meant from slime slots. I'm still working on getting tokens though.

I managed to hit a jackpot on other slots and i have 268k and now it's not even giving me metal mode. Are other games worth it?

You can rig roulette to give you a jackpot. Its a little finnicky, but it lets you buy out the second casino in about an hour

Yeah.

Next to the jackpot tower there's a bunnygirl who says when she feels like the roulette wheel is going to hit. If she says its soon just put the minimum bet on 12, 14 and Treasure and run it for a little while. You'll hit a jackpot and million+ tokens pretty quickly.

If she doesn't add that it'll hit soon when you talk to her, keep taking naps at the inn until she does. It took me a total of about 45 minutes to do yesterday.

Yeah roulette is at the second casino.

The number of acts is 3. The game continues for quite a while after the credits roll. You could spend a hundred hours on this thing easy.

I don't know what that means but there are 3 distinct acts and I put something like 100 hours into it before beating it. I could have spent more or less time if I wanted to.

You don't need thumbs for revenge
Apperently, even with XP Limiter on, I’ve still ended up way over leveled somehow. I’m at the Royal Libary and everyone is about 31-32.

Funny thing is I didn’t even grind anywhere, I did however kill 3 Liquid Metal Slimes on the way to Dora so maybe that did it.
