Tips and Tricks

[Rainnd]

What are some thing you wished you've learned earlier? Here's some of mine:

1. Mage restores mp while killing mobs in active combat.
2. Every day when there's discounts you can get 1 free permanent luck for MC by entering toilet on runner (you don't need to be traveling for that).
3. There's missable book in 3rd town.
4. Fishing is not random, every answer has associated result to it, so if you're looking for a particular item, just look up the answers.
5. Cooking with Maria achievement is missable too, if you don't get by certain point it's no longer available.
6. You don't need to play on hard to unlock regicide difficulty, just finish game with good ending.
7. Buffs stack up to 3.
8. Chief in 4th city can clear bad weathe on choosen location (no idea when it become available as I found this out right before the last dungeon).
9. Once you unlock archetype studying from the menu, you can also inherit skills in the same menu.

Taking a shower also gets you 100 XP. Small beans, but it's free

You can also switch a character between the archetypes they know in the equipment screen.

Don't waste time planting seeds.

Courage is given to you in droves. Eloquence, Tolerance and Imagination are not.

Yeah, seed planter is kinda garbage, waste a part of the day for something you can get in 1 battle.

Thanks for the advice. What's that about the book?
My good-to-knows:
1) Every archetype (starting from the first tier) has an ability that is exclusive to the hero character. The merchant one gives you ridiculous amounts of money while the masked dancer recovers your team's HP and MP with every won battle. The rest of the abilities are useful, too, but for grinding, the first two are irreplacable.
2) Before you visit the gravesite near Martira, talk to the information merchant. You could lose up to two days if you don't know that he can unlock a new route and location for which you have to travel through the gravesite. Otherwise, you'll visit the gravesite, return and have to travel there again.
3) For the same reason, check for quests regularly. It can be annoying if you go into a dungeon just to return there because someone wanted an item from that location.

Debates start occuring in the second town (Martira) and appear on fixed dates (but only in your current "hub town"). So if you want that achievement, either look them up or start checking the speech stands daily starting in Martira.

You can farm items from enemies by making the MC a Thief and repeatedly stunning enemies in overworld combat. You can stun the enemy, giving you a chance to steal its normal item, then go into combat. Use steal on the enemy, to have a chance to steal the rare item. Then ESCAPE. You keep the stolen items and you can stun the enemy again right away, rinse and repeat. Of course this works only as long as you're not too high level. But you can still start a battle, steal an item and escape to repeatedly steal rare items.

When you go to the third city, talk to NPC named Julian in Angler Inn Square near fountain, he'll give you a wisdom increasing book, that you can read while traveling. I don't know how long he's available, but later in the game I couldn't find him anymore.

1 - food can be made in large quantitys in late game and be used for buffs, mp regen and repels this do not consume time when your travelling with the gauntlet runner in late game.

2 - you got alot more time than you think to max out releationships. i had more than 10 days to spare with nothing to do before entering the point of no return, despite me playing on hard and using 2 days in each dungeon. some even took 3 days.

3 - main char gains a unique archtype in late game that scales good with strength - i had specced into magic...
