Her bow is painfully weak, she's already out of EP from rezzing Craig, and she doesn't seem to have much else going for her. Later on Alisa becomes an absolutely amazing support unit, but yeah early Alisa has none of those tools. azuarc posted... wait, this is the EAST side?? Yay for rotating maps. It was on the left when I exited town. this is what you get for not making one of your top priorities to go into options and make sure the minimap is fixed north. in every game. ever. because rotating is always the default because this is a cruel world. azuarc posted... I'm also surprised there are weapon upgrades here, considering I was able to give my sword a +1 back in Trista, and I assumed that meant this was simply my signature weapon and I had to upgrade it throughout the game. Nope. Now I wish I hadn't bothered. As a general rule each weapon has its base version that you can typically buy in a shop and a +1 version you can create with Customize. Aside from the stat boosts the +1 version typically adds an extra effect depending on weapon type. IIRC, Rean's +1 weapons give like a 5% Crit Chance, Laura's is like a 5% chance to inflict Faint on hit, etc. In Cold Steel 1 you may want to be a bit frugal with your cash. Absent grinding (or the fact that there's a money trick in each Trails game where there's always one recipe that can sell for a profit over its ingredients cost) you're unlikely to have enough cash to keep everyone at cutting-edge equipment. Personally I prioritize weapons over armor but if you're struggling with getting wiped out then armor can be a solid investment. And I'd prioritize equipment for characters you think you'll be using more often - starting with Rean since he's the MC, obviously. btw, if you do happen to be interested in that "cook for profit" thing the Celdic Field Study will be your best opportunity for some time. Elliot cooking Omelets is the combo that nets you a profit and in general it's just less tedious to do do this on a field study since everyone is in the party already. You can still do it in Trista but there's extra tedium steps involving loading zones. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:942732660] in azuarc pla...
