I love this game! It is really good in so many ways!
I have needed help with a bunch of things but I've managed to find my way mostly. The bartender, the fortune teller, and the pawn shop have been instrumental there! But I am down to one remaining silver item and no more gold. Can someone tell me where to find more gold? All I find these days is mithril.
I have little to offer as constructive criticism but I have a bit:
- I think that the first wallet gemstone should be made available earlier than L's shop. Or maybe I just didn't manage to find it before then.
- I felt like I had to do too much combat and gained too much experience, while I keep waiting around for the game to provide me with new abilities and the enemies are getting too far below my level. Perhaps the huge experience gain from enemies near your level should turn down sooner and more gradually...shouldn't take just 2-3 encounters with things 3-4 levels below me to level up, I think. Also could be nice to have more spells available, such as perhaps a healing spell. I noticed that Evie uses one but I wasn't able to get her to teach it to me. And maybe a cursed item to reduce experience gain, or some other way to increase my ability to gain skill experience when all of the enemies are way below my level.
Thanks for your words about the game!
As for gold... First, read the book of fusions in the library. It will help you understand which items really need to be leveled up.
To test yourself, you can go through all the locations where battles are possible and see if there are any rare chests there that you have not yet found. Rare unfound chests are displayed at the bottom of the game screen, on the right. Usually this is a chest with a number. If there are only 3-4 chests with an infinity symbol, you have already found everything in this location.
Regarding difficulty levels: you can adjust the difficulty level yourself using artifacts. Because there are artifacts that simplify the gameplay and vice versa. You can enable or disable skills that you have already discovered. Same with clothes.
Regarding the shortcomings you listed: try to study the game world more carefully.
The library has good books with tips and explanations.
Oh, I got a gold nugget in the ancient pyramid! Also I got a cursed item which increases enemy levels so that might be useful. Mimics can also be a good source of skill experience. I still think either the player levels up too fast, or the treasure takes too long to find.
And then immediately after finding it I leveled up and hit the level cap. I guess that's another way I don't have to worry about leveling up!
