Current Events > What should I be paying attention to in Darkest Dungeon?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like, what are the Traits I should be on the lookout for? Good and bad

I think im on Week 12 now or something. Dont know if the game always as the same Events of the week, but if they do, I just got the weekly one where like 12 people show up to recruit

What should I focus updating first around town? Ive been doing Stagecoach to get more unit selections.

Not dying

Nice

So how do I do that?

If you find yourself dying, stop doing things that cause death.

the boredom as you do the same damn thing for 70 hours

Vestals and Jesters are OP

Ideally, you want to have good party composition and abilities, and tailor them to the area you're going to be questing.

In the early game, focus on getting relics. Money is important too, but your main focus should be on upgrading the hamlet.

Stagecoach is a good first upgrade. Then guild and smith. I usually don't bother upgrading stress relievers (bar or sanitarium) until I've got relics and cash to burn.

Focus on expanding your roster. Positive quirks are nice but pay more attention to negative ones. Kleptomania and curious are ones I tend to avoid. Try to get ones that synergize with the class.

This is a game where I get hyped up to play and then I play it for 5 minutes and I'm like man I really don't want to play this

It's a stressful game, that's for sure. But it does feel really rewarding to overcome the difficulty. It's kinda like Dark Souls if it were a strategy game.

It's a stressful game,

It's the only game that has legitimately made me anxious. I think it's because the combat is so slow and the fact that anything could happen at any second. Like, I got a clutch Crit Heal one time, but it was only for 0 HP because of how the math works or something. 0 x crit = 0?

Yeah, I always forget about them. Like, when I pick them up in the dungeon I never equip them on the party there. This would not only help them out in battle, but free up inventory space for other items. I was playing last night and was like, "Why have I not been using these?"

I assume you lose the Relics if the character that has them dies, right? I went to test this out last night, but I had a good run and didn't die to find out.
