Is there a way to control pep better? This quest where I need to use a 3-pepped char attack to defeat a certain enemy is a bit annoying.

When you start winning, you win big.

If you can manage to land a metal bonus on the back row 10-token machines, you can easily make 5-10k tokens on the 10 spins (at minimum) you get.

(Also, you can savescum)

Help, stuck in Slime time on the Slime Quest slots.
Just wanted to earn about 10k to buy the spear, am currently at 15 bosses defeated, 60k earned, and found all 6 orbs.

Still clueless about what 75% of this machine means.

OK, this is driving me insane.

Where is the Mini Medal Academy? It's obvious that's where I'm supposed to go next but I flat out cannot find the place.

You get there through one of those inland lakes you have to sail to. There's only 2, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
If you can't get to them yet, there's still some other stuff you need to do first.

Quest problem. Gotta collect a piece of paper that was lost: "The Agony and Excstasy", newsletter Purscilla wants, blew out the window in the direction of the Eerie Eyrie. Not seeing any trace of it, no signs where it's been posted, unless some monster went down out of zone? Gonna continue trawling the nearby zones,
wanna get things done before I hit act2 for real (loaded an old save to complete things even though I didn't really need to)


It's on the backside of one of the signposts, just outside the first cave if I remember correctly.

I'm kinda hooked on this Slime Quest casino game now. What are the orbs you collect supposed to do?

From the in-game explanation, they're supposed to "Bring you luck" or something?
Only thing I noticed is that they significantly boost the rewards from beating a Gem Slime.

The 1.0 sound track had 5 hours, the 2.0 sound track had nearly 7, the 3.0 soundtrack added another 5 and this doesn't include 4.0 or the vast amount of 2.x, 3.x and 4.x music.

It got the record for the most original composition in a game before the most recent expansion in Feb 2017. And that doesn't include all the classic FF arrangements in it.

Yeah. Should have figured they added a lot with patches and expansions.

Gotta give it a listen one of these days.

I really liked 9 when I played it, but the online worked back then, and I can see it not being worth it if it's gone.

Really weird that they didn't at least open all the challenges and bonuses for everyone when they shut it down though.

Why is metal slash so bad? I was planning on making that my next skill for the MC and possibly Erik on his boomerang.

It's just a guaranteed hit for 2 damage. When the metal slimes start getting 20+ hp, you're better off gambling on one of the auto-crit skills, as they will always one-shot them.

Are the auto crit skills you're talking about the ones with descriptions like "doesn't hit very often but when it does watch out"

Yeah, Hatchet Man for axes and Thunder Thrust for spears are the two most commonly used. Then there's also Erik's unique skill.

That's...underwhelming. I guess it's fine for Metal Slimes though which is what I'm currently farming in preparation for the deadly digger thing. Also trying to get the timing right for the Wild Side combo.

Here's the secret to making Sylvando a good fighter.

Higher base damage than the holy sword itself. Maybe Sylvando was meant to be the legendary hero all along.

Also, is it just me or does dual wielding seem a bit lacking? The offhand damage usually seems fairly negligible.
