Mount Drake- I'm growing frustrated

[silversoul255]

I bought 3-1 and 3-2 during the recent Summer Sale cause I love RPGMaker games. I have endured all the way to Mount Drake. I say endured because this game, IMO, has some serious balance issues, with random enemies typically doing more than half your HP in a single hit even with the more current armor and items equipped.

Well, the dragon village in Mount Drake gave me a chance to stock up on Fire-resistant items to push back against all the fireballs I've been dealing with. Except NONE OF THEM DO ANYTHING. I'm still taking the same damage I was before, and I have both FIre Armor and Fire Amulets equipped on all my battle members. Fireballs from various enemies are still doing around 250-300 damage. Are they not working, or were these descriptions merely fluff?

Well, you probably have given up OR ...
found out by now that the Fire Armor and Amulets do work fine. One must equip each of the 4 Battlers with both the Fire Armor and the Fire Amulets.

Stella's {the Healer} heal spells can restore far more than 250-300 damage per turn by the time Mel's Party reaches Mount Drake. She should have both individual and party healing spells by then
