dungeons?

[Lord Strong]

are dungeons optional or part of the main story? I find them hard at first but may get used to them. the monster movement seems a little hard to learn at first. i dont really like losing all my loot when i die seems i could save the game and reload? im just wondering if its possible to avoid them but seems to me I probably need to do them. but any tips when to adventure? it seems morning only time. and it seems the time advances 3 times instead of 2. i guess the more advanced adventurers can do more. I tried playing without the dungeons but seems to be unavoidable.

In short: you can finish payments without them but you can't learn whole game story/backstory without them.

FYI visiting the adventurer's guild is not considered part of town, and as a result, you can visit it from home without any time penalty, and also if you dungeon-dive after or before going to town you'll use three slices of time.
