"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
I tried to find Dragon Quest 6 on Monday, thinking that was the release date, but no stores had it. Some of the Gamestops I went to said they're not likely getting in any copies due to an apparent low print run, and a Game Trader nearby said that the game is likely to be one of the rarest DS games. I still haven't been able to track down a copy in Central Florida.

Is it true DQ6 is going to have a very low print run? :(

I have Dragon Quest IV on my backlog, so I figured I'd play through it since I enjoyed the NES version. How long does it actually take to get a cautery sword in chapter 3? I've made 5000+ coins at the start of chapter 3 and haven't seen one yet. I did pick up the sword in chapter 1 if that helps.

It took me maybe an an hour fifteen minutes, maybe 1½, to get two. (Two because I accidentaly let the first one get sold.) As far as I know it's just random chance; the equivalent of a rare drop.

If that's the case, then spending 56 in game days in the shop seems very excessive?

Yyyyyyes.

Your RL luck stat is bottomed out? Try finding some appropriate accessory. Who knows, maybe you'd look good in earrings.

E: Above stated time was in the DS version and maybe two weeks ago after this thread got me to replay the game.

Well, yea, there's a perfectly good reason why I never go near a real life casino. Unless I'm going to check out entertainment or food or something along those lines :v: But that's getting off topic, and getting too e/n on top of that.

It's gotten bad that my usual 'hey i'm posting because i'm having issues no wait i finally got it as soon as i posted' strategy isn't working. 65 days and counting :sigh:

EDIT: Sweet Sassy Molassey, it did work.

I figure since I'm in chapter 5 for DQ IV, it might be time to go into the casino, but I don't care for luck based systems unless I can game the system. Are there any guides to the casino so I can get coins without having to deal with the bullshit? I thought there was a monster arena guide out there, but the only one is in Japanese and there isn't a suitable translation to tell what is what.

Almost down to the last monster in the DQIV beastiary before I finish the bonus content, and it seems like I should just go ahead and finish the game, since the last monster is Platinum King Jewel. Yeah I dunno if I'm gonna spend days looking for it in one tiny area of the final dungeon.

I dunno if I should spoiler this, but I did just to be on the safe side.

For those of you that have gone through DQV, how in the world are you supposed to beat any of the T'N'T boards? Compared to DQIII on the Game Boy, these seem ultra difficult. Even the first one is very hard to beat, I've gone through 20 tickets and never ended up anywhere near the end.

Are you kidding? I love those things. They were too easy, though...

The GBA ones were fairly easy. The DQ5 ones, too many times I've had a streak where I'd roll a 3, get to a space to go back 3 spaces, then roll a 3 again, over and over and over again.

I learned Cop Out in DQVI, and why bother using anything else? Let the enemy beat the crap out of themselves :3:

I chose Debora in my playthrough. Gotta go with the most 'honest' wife, I'd say. At least she's not full of bullshit! I kinda felt Bianca was a bit of a jerk and liked to belittle the hero, and Flora/Nera seemed to have feelings for Crispin, more so than the hero. I felt kinda bad for the poor sap.
