>>87788He'll always be slow, too. Just for shits and giggles, after beating the game, I used an Action Replay to max out Martial Arts and Thief before turning him back into a warrior, turns out he's still slower than my martial artist, mage, and priest.
>>87792Which isn't actually that bad since it assures he always does maximum damage at the end of a chain.
>>87793True. Reloaded before the boss, cheated, did a 2x combo, 800 damage to final boss, first form.
My Prayer Ring disintegrated after a single use :/
Tactics are nice
>>87778Protip: have everyone in the party change to Thief class temporarily, gain 10 skill points either before it after the change, put 10 points into Litheness to teach everyone Half Inch, then just change them back and have your whole party try and steal stuff every turn.They won't be as good at stealing as Thieves (because no other class is nearly as good at whoring Deftness), but it's better than having your other teammates defend every turn.>>87788This is why my Warrior has a spear instead of a sword. Mercurial Thrust makes sure she can always get a hit in before the enemy, letting my beat most encounters before they attack..>>87798I'm guessing it's either a chance of happening each time or a set amount determined when you get the ring.
This is the most depressing Dragon Quest ever. Jesus christ, I'm killing more people then I'm saving.
>>87893Well, most are already dead. You only help them move on. That said, the quest to get the boat still made me shed a single bitch tear.
>>87893I knew things would be depressing when I gave my main character a pompadour, named him Presley and the first thing he does after I hit finish is turn into and angel and fly up to heaven.

So, I know that Extra Quest 121 involves Upover, and I think I know how to complete it. But where do I go to accept it? It just shows up all question marks, and says I haven't accepted it.
I know bosses are supposed to be challenging and all that jazz. But that Disruptive Wave bullshit is starting to make me lose it!
>>87919Anybody know?
How many different release events does Nintendo World Store have?I wish I lived in the area.
>>88046Apparently it's in Upover, but not available until you've seen some scene that involve white and black dragons near the end of the game (but not, as some people think, beating the final boss).
>>87749Turns out you can only access the DQVC after you get the train working.
>>88265Also:>still nobody to do Tag Mode with
>>88160I guess there must be somebody to talk to who I just missed.
>Feel the Burn + Whipping BoyI... I think, I broke the game...>Disruptive Wave>Disruptive Wave>Disruptive WaveOh wait, nevermind.
*New Special Guest from connecting to the DQVC*Dragon Quest Meet and Greet event at Best Buy tomorrowAnybody going? If it's anything like the Gamestop one, it's worth it for the swag, and for finally being able to connect with people.
>>89126What? like ALL best buys everywhere?
>>89129I think their website has a list. And it's not just Best Buy.http://dragonquest.nintendo.com/#/do-you-dq/I don't think the one here is holding an event, though, which makes me kind of sad. I wanted another slime t-shirt.
>>89140Might go to the one in Salem NH.
I just picked DQIX up yesterday. I have to hurry and get to the part where I can connect to people before the best buy thing today.
>>89213Grind a team of 4 up to 15. It'll be easier once you get to the catacombs, then just hunt down metal slimes. You'll prolly need to be around 10-11 to get to that point, I think.
>>89236Thanks for the tip. I have about 6 hours before the event. I hope I can do it.
I got to the emperor the night before last. He beat the shit out of me, but I made it to his second form only to have my healer die and my entire party follow. Haven't touched it since out of fear. It's no VIII or V, and the story's not too solid, but I still love it.
>>89250What was your level and equipment.
>My face when Bloomingdale"It's not fair."D':
>>89242I restarted and got up to that point, to try to figure out if I was just screwing up with the DLC. I think my save file's much earlier in time than that, but I also rushed everything, since I beat the game.
>>89250East of Gleeba is an island where you can farm Yggdrasil Leaves. Just give some to your fastest character in case of your healer dying, if that is your only problem. Otherwise, start alchemizing for better equipment. At this point you can easily have the Über Falcon Blade, which is possibly the best sword in the game.
Well I was unable to get past the Wight Knight story before the dead line (fell asleep). Still going to go to the best buy event to see how it is and if they have some cool stuff to give away.

>Log onto DQVC>Very special guest has arrived>Go to elevator>AW SHIT IT'S ANGELO
>>89273It turned out kind of bad. They had three shirts all large, though they may of had a few more to give out later in the day. Five people showed up. No one even made eye contact let alone talked. So I just got some stickers and left.
>>89315I slept through mine. lol
>>89315WHY DID THEY THINK A BUNCH OF NERDS WOULD ACT ANY DIFFERENTLYI was able to break the ice at mine, although I'm not sure that was entirely a good thing, given the circumstances. This one guy was like the entire D&D club rolled into one fat Asspie with an underbite. All his characters were level 99 and he kept putting his DS in front of me to show me his awesome items. THE SCREEN WAS FILTHY, WHY WOULD ANYONE LET IT GET THAT BAD? WHY?
>Spend an hour or two grinding money to buy the shades from the store>Get enough money>The shop cycled, all the new items are crap
Once you get past level 40, grottos start being actually fun. Actual rare ingredients and equipment in treasure chests. Regular fights get somewhat challenging. And finally some variety when it comes to bosses.I'm still not able to beat even the first Legacy Boss, however. The random critical hits fuck me over big time.
>you can move the menu button around
So uh, I got this game and I sorta wish I had gotten Monster Rancher instead i just got back from the landslide, is this game going to get better soon?
>>90404Seeing as that's just the fucking tutorial, yes.
That's weird... I didn't get a Meteorite Bracer from the Mini Medal guy.
>>91121And now I didn't get my brainy bracer from a quest.What's going on?
>>91124Is your inventory full?
>>91162I'm not sure it that's possible. Before I quit, I was able to buy new equipment from a shop.Regardless, I quit without saving as I only got as far as completing the two quests. I attempted a diffirent quest where the reward was another set of hand gear and I got that, so it seems to have just been a glitch or something. I havn't tried the same quests yet, so I don't know for sure.
OK. Wow. I'm a huge idiot.Meteorite Bracers and Brainy Bracers are accessories, not arm armor. Please laugh at me.
>>91198HA HA HEE HEE
I just beat the game and got control of the Starflight Express. What do?Also,>Train hero in Warrior with hopes of him becoming a Paladin.>Train in Swords.>MFW Paladins can't use swords.
>>94477Get him to lvl 100 in sword skills and you'll unlock Omnivocational Swordmaster, which allows you to equip them on any class.As for the post-game well... you've got the Tower of Nod, randomly-generated grottoes, free weekly DLC quests, fights with every single villain in the Dragon Quest franchise, Slime Hill, tons of new side quests, and the opportunity to add Patty, Erina, Sellma, and Aquilo to your party.
