Starting Out Basics

Each choice determines your stats to start the game. The following headers below contain a list of what to expect when choosing your path as your chosen race.

Interactive creations pose random questions so you will have to search for your answers to allocate your stats correctly. Sometimes the stats are random too but the guide will give you a basic idea what to expect.

Sometime the decrease in stats might be greater due to previous choices. For example, your starting stat for Dex could be 7. Depending on choices a Dex modifier can be added by 2 and then later subtracted by 7. Without the additional 2 Dex, the stat would be at zero, making this impossible so the stat decrease would instead be -6 to allow one point in the stat's field.
With +2:
7 + 2 - 7 = 2 Dex
Without +2:
7 - 7 = 0 (impossible so the stat is only decreased enough to make the stat the minimum of 1)

I know the above may sound confusing but it's really just splitting hairs with stats.

If there are any character creation scenarios I missed, please let me know so I can add them to the guide under the respective header.

Learning Skills

You can bypass the jobs and go straight to learning the good stuff. However, this will cost you a certain amount of gold each skill point learned so plan wisely.

Skill Level	Cost
1-11	15g
12-23	30g
24-35	45g
36-47	60g
48-59	75g
60-71	90g
72-83	105g
84-95	120g
96-100	135g

Your Patron Goddess

Around your 22 year, your goddess will appear with a mission.

If you choose to accept you will have to earn a specific title by the time you are 30 in order to grant your special ending (achievement: [human/ elf/ demon] Goddess Ending).
Please see section labeled "Titles" for more information.


Above are the following goddesses:
Elf Goddess - Shurij
Human Goddess - Torza
Demon Goddess - Morax

Titles

Titles are a personal achievement that can be earned throughout the game progress depending on choices of stat building. As formentioned above, on your 22nd year your patron goddess with offer you a chance to earn one of these titles in exchange for a wish.

You can earn these at any time but be warned that earning the favor of your goddess will effectively end the game with the goddess ending. (Do not pursue if you are trying to marry any of the contestants. YOU CANNOT HAVE BOTH!) Also be aware that it takes real dedication to the crafts to achieve a title. This will take up a majority of your time.

***Multiple titles can be earn throughout each game but do not transfer over to new files.

Acknowledgements

A very special thanks to Winter Wolves for help expediting this guide! Thanks for making another great game!

[Banake]

Thanks. \o

[tractortrailerwilliams]

When are link for the contestants coming out

[Siren of the Sea]

It's actually doable even if you don't spread out. With your rolls you can always "rewind" and the dice will be in the same placement for the most part. Always strive for the closest to the roll total and you can achieve this by 26.

[Murphy's Lawyer]

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess the smart move is to try to space out your skills and gain a few points in each up until the goddess shows up and then focus on whatever is needed.

[Siren of the Sea]

Its random so far as I know. Somehow the goddess tends to pick the title I have to work the hardest for and have practically nothing in. Riva could tell you if there was an algorithm but I am not sure ATM

[Murphy's Lawyer]

Is there any way of knowing which title each goddess will want you to be? or is it random each time you start a new game?
