Unmature posted:What are the best jobs to start out with? Basically just aim for whatever advanced vocations sound good to you. Getting someone in priest is a great idea for obvious reasons, you can find a healslime heart that teaches most of the heals, which is great for Ruff since he'll always go first, and Thief has nice utility out of battle skills. Beyond that though most of the basic vocations just have early-midgame skills that become obsolete later, which is why you want to shoot for the advanced ones.

I just finished both parts of the Alltrade Abbey arc, and I want to spend as little time at less then a full party as possible.

After finishing Wetlock, you can get the magic carpet, which is the only prerequisite for the quest line that ends with recruiting Mervyn. It takes place entirely in the present.

I don't think any of them are supposed to beaten up until the rematch with Rashers and Stripes, and they're nerfed then. After that you get your old skills back and can go back to the Bang/Boomerang pain train.

In my first playthrough my experience was basically. -Go to Island. "Job system yet?" No. Repeat about 8 times and then I finally saw the job system right in front of me and... It couldn't just be another greenthumbs or first statue city could it? It had to be freaking difficult.

Can't stop his sleep move. get maribel to the top of the wisdom ranking contest and you get a tiara headpiece that protects against sleep, fuddle, and some other statuses. you'll have to do a little sidequest first, but it'll net you the canny cap and between that and scholar specs toping the wisdom rankings with most any character at that point in the game should be pretty straightforward.

Detective No. 27 posted:*shoves wisdom seeds in Maribel's mouth.* you can do after finishing things in wetlock present. i think maybe even right after? if not, then at least one island after. go to el ciclo and check the rankings, there's a new guy at the top that isn't the wetlock scholar. go back to wetlock and visit his house. quest should be pretty straightforward from there, no fighting just some traveling and talking. e: after getting aishe, the rankings change and the stats you need to hit to reach top shoot up, so getting to the top of the boards is probably easiest right before you lose maribel. i think you need somewhere around 110-130 to top wisdom? also it's 100 something for strength on ruff or hero if you want some mighty armlets. if you get melvin or hero to the top of the wisdom rankings you get an intelli-helm which has some good defense + boosts wisdom, but i don't think it provides any protection against status effects AriadneThread fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Oct 4, 2016 |

I beat the Envoy by keeping my party under Bounce all the time using a Rippling Rapier. It was pretty touch-and-go though. But I didn't realize that about the rankings. I guess I'll just do them at endgame. Oh well.

I'm sincerely enjoying the updated script with all the accents and bits of other languages (even if it's a bit eurocentric) but I really wish characters would stop translating themselves

I'm in the 1st dungeon and am enjoying the game quite a bit. It's crazy how long it actually takes for you to actually battle anything though. The overworld feels a little clunky and the camera kind of sucks on it too.

I'd forgotten how changing your class doesn't impact what sort of gear you can equip, that's a refreshing change of pace from more modern games.

I've only played P3P but you get in a tutorial fight at like the very beginning of that iirc? Or is it just a cutscene when the dorm is attacked? I forget. It's kind of different though because in Persona 3 (and 4?) you only have battles in dungeons, whereas most JRPGs will have you get random encounters on the overworld also. DQ7 doesn't until you get to the first island though.

Can you save anywhere in DQVII? It's tough for me to want to play handheld games that still use console save schemes.

I think it's more surprising to see it in a Dragon Quest title. You're usually fighting a slime within scant minutes of starting the game. Levantine posted:Can you save anywhere in DQVII?

Cool beans, I think I'll pick it up then. I have a soft spot for DQVII in general, it's such a weirdly paced, long rear end game.

Is there a way to guarantee a tablet dungeon only has one type of enemy in it? Do you need to get the triple team of one type to do it?

In Training posted:Is there a way to guarantee a tablet dungeon only has one type of enemy in it? Do you need to get the triple team of one type to do it? You literally can't do this. You have to send 3 unique species and they can also generate other monsters that spawned with them on the world map. The only single monster tablets are the guarenteed ones.
