No more Sunday nonsense. This week I'm gonna get back to just playing a little here and there. I've had tons of stuff going on but am approaching a state of normality again

We ain't done here

Well one day...

It's that day again

Got a full day tomorrow. We'll see what all is in store.

Sometimes stuff happens that changes your life and there just isn't time for dragon quest

Life goes on

special edition this week

Apparently my Sundays have gotten exciting because I keep forgetting the day until late

A friend called, so I was on the phone a while. Got my 30 minutes in. All I did was more thoroughly explore the sights, shops, and NPC conversations in Octagonia. Bought some armor and weapon upgrades. Pretty much ready to register for the event I suppose. Next time.



Nice lyrics, dude!

I almost forgot what day it was! It's been an exciting couple weeks. Will get some DQ in after dinner.

Weekend!

Short one this time but consistency is king!

Stomped around in mysterious toxic puddles around the ruins at Zwaardsrust. Discovered two doors, both impassable.

Headed west and a boulder blocks the path and the game just doesn't acknowledge it.

Headed north and made my way to Octagonia. Checked out the place, dropped in on the mayor, why is a child in charge of the church. Anyway.

Foosball over

Oh wait there's 10 books and they take you to heroes from the past and it's dragon quest 11 and it's echoes of an elusive age and ohh yeah I see

Oh wait. The title screen changed? I'm not imagining that, right? It's progress based? Neat.

Current Objective: "Comb the world for clues" lol alrighty

Dragon Quest: the Wind Waker let's go

Heliodorian knights out of nowhere surprise

We kicked their butts and escaped impossibly

This time it was a sea monster instead of a dragon

Whole sequence with Erik getting captured was kinda ehhh. Ok you've done it Sylv was in my party let's go back to normal kthx

I gotta say, I enjoyed my short time exploring Grotta della Fonte, and I got some kind of excited when I saw this. Let's see what this bubby's all about.

Well, that was a short and uneventful trip to Tickington. Though visiting ol' Ygg was neat.

To Tickington!

Riding the hornet around the Gondolia region was

New pastword, you know that's happening.

I'm starting to get a little invested in the party in terms of the battle system aspects.

Oh yeah and I read the books that teach you how to make all the witch stuff and iron armors.

I found a little genuine fun in choosing to go all greatswords when forging all my copper ore (is that right?) to sell, just for the roleplay aspect of it since Daniel is specializing in greatswords he may as well be a practiced smith as well. And playing the mini-game honestly ain't too bad. Fanfare sequences are a little long though.

I got within a few turns of the three pep powers I need lining up. Close, but no cigar. So I decided to move on. To Golondia!

I crossed into the new area, and I have to point out the delivery quest from the guard standing at the gate between regions felt super world of warcraft-y and I liked it.

I appreciate the upgraded horse call. I ran around Golondia region just bucking enemies around some. Saved at the first campsite there. Gotta get some work done tonight.

Just got the achievement for 250 I think it was, battles won

Farming in the ruins area again

what!

I bested the champion's challenge for bronze and silver cups, easy and difficult. That's what's available atm. Aside from that, I just mucked around Gallopolis a bit.

Activated the scene where Sylvando joins the party and says btw I got a boat in the place you're about to be and need a boat in.

LOL

I played last night just because I felt like it. Get a load of that! Yeah.

I started the character builder finally.

Daniel: I took the first space in Luminary for +5% pep chance, then went into greatswords

Erik: got the steal ability, then went into knives

veronica: vim

serena: harpestry

I triggered the circus event with the prince. I keep trying to tell him no when he puts his whole life in my hands, but the game won't let me despite my insistence.

I got 2nd in the horse race. Expected I guess. I got better each lap and would've won had we gone one more. I kept missing the same green spot and hitting the same wall every lap. After that I went back and tried the bronze and silver races, and easily won them both without missing any boosts. Oh well. Faris didn't seem to care that "he" didn't win. Nobody else did, either.

Now we're off to slay a mighty big bad and Faris is useless again. We have new circus person with us though, who is...decidedly mysterious.

I fought a lot of battles in the ruins area trying to get my pep to line up to complete the quest for the painter, but no luck yet. I've also been abusing Erik's steal ability to death just for its own sake. It's fun.

Starting to feel more like actual thought going into battles, etc.

Daniel now has The Saviour of the Sands outfit and Serena has The Hip-Shaker

Took a selfie with a fancy horse and a group photo with a juggler

Read a book about some Guardians of the Star...hope that's got to do with the red star I photographed before

The prince invited me to the circus

I splurged on a few items at the armor shop. Yup.

Hey. Stats are stats, ok.

The sultan himself was p. grumpy

Still not sure what to do about metal slimes

Whoosh is fun

I just experienced the puff puff. Whatever that was.

'The Knight's Pledge
'A knight's word is his bond, his kingdom his master.
'He serves the weak untiringly, challenges the strong unflinchingly and never retreats in the face of adversity.'

Oh right I need to farm cactiballs for a quest...I think I'll do that.

Kicked some robber rabbit tail taking the scenic route back to gallop town.

First time in the daytime, I think. So the Prince Faris kid is 16 and it's like a big deal and whatnot

Well if Moonahan or whatever wasn't silly. I had a magic water so completed the quest immediately. Went around and read all the dog jokes.

Noticed after I finished that the first place I visited is still available to go to but that last one isn't and I don't know what that means

To Tickington!!!

Time for Adventure!

Do I know you btw?

Weekend already huh

Oh I learned a new pastword. I'll probably swing back and check that before I go to the sultan in Gallopolis. But that's all for now. Got a lot I need to accomplish today irl. But that was a good classic RPG session I just grinded a bunch of repetitive menus and optimized all my equipment, items, money, etc.

A dorky comment from the camp vendor NPC ("don't forget if you make any items on your forge I can pay an excellent price!") made me realize a little more clearly how the system works. Fight a bunch of battles, enemies drop a slew of random items, use those items to forge a bunch of items. Keep the very best and sell the rest. Use pearls to improve your current equipment. Fun stuff.

Daniel is rolling with a Cast-Iron Claymore +3 and Bronze Armour, and a Strength Ring +2. And, of course, Gemma's Charm.

Erik has a Poison Moth Knife +3 and a leather cape which I just splurged on after selling a load of forged items. Gold Chain and Gold Bracer.

Veronica has her staff +2 and a silk robe, and a Gold Ring +2 and a Gold Bracer.

Serena has her wand +2 with a silk robe and Fishnet Stockings +2 (ay girl) and the Full Moon Ring.

I learned the hard way the it's actually possible to fail on the forge lol. I mean I didn't realize if you tried one that was too many pearls it would be flat out impossible to succeed.

Feathered caps for Serena and Veronica to replace their hairdbands. Now we got a crew of 4 rockin matching feathered caps.

Gold ring for Serena as she didn't have a second accessory yet.

Then I reworked Veronica's Staff and Serena's Wand.

I do enjoy the depth to all the tinkering options.

Fun size forgin' time

Ran down to the campfire beyond gallopolis. Used the pep move the painter wanted then realized I forgot to seek out the worthy enemy whoops.

I decided to go out and just run around looking for sparkly spots and farming battles. Ran into a metal slime and didn't quite figure out what it's deal was before it ran away. It only just now occurred to me you have to put items in a character's inventory before battle for that character to be able to use them haha. I inadvertently had one character holding all the healing items and all the antidotes etc. Battle system is more fun to grind with more magic options.

This painter who's like, go forth and fight a battle worthy of being painted by my hand lol

Ok, objective to speak with the Sultan in the big flashy building. Time to not do that at all for the next 90 minutes.
