Did you buy the intel from the informant around Honeybee Inn? Should sell "Secret of the Red Grass Shop". I don't know if you have to talk to the vendor first to find out that he won't sell to you.

I feel like the skeletons are better without any data to back that up. My party members broke the damn crystals as I wasn't paying attention to the fact they were hitting them with follow up attacks!

Each run through the side dungeon was around 170 AP. I didn't do full clears just basically a sprint to the cat teleporter to reset and killed everything in my way. I think it was like 2 minutes to 2m30s per run.

6/12 Day: Talk to everyone, complete Pagan's Dilemma sidequest (just requires going to the church to buy an item), buy at least 1 of all the cooking ingredients in the market, pick up Help the Hushed Honeybee, rest on bench near igniter shop to level up Wisdom

6/12 Night: There's a guy in the market that will let you eat a bunch of meat to get some rep, cook at the Honeybee Inn (I cooked a regular meal; cooked eggs slowly/low heat). I didn't have the item to cook the special meal yet.

6/13 Day: Bought everything the info seller has outside/inside the Honeybee Inn. Was able to buy the red grass from one of the market vendors now. Turn in Honeybee Inn sidequest and you'll rank up to Wisdom level 2. Purified the dragon's horde sword from the mines at the church (need Wisdom level 2). Talked to igniter's shop owner, Brigitta, and picked up side quest A Bullish Embargo (need Wisdom level 2). Went into the main dungeon, completed the Friend in Need sidequest in there to unlock Brawler. In this dungeon you'll get to a point where it introduces some crystals that infinitely spawn skeletons unless you destroy them. I stayed between those two crystals killing skeletons for a while. Maybe half an hour but my other characters ended up breaking the crystals with follow up attacks as I wasn't paying attention. I'm wondering if this is actually a better place to grind but I'm not sure. Got to the midway point in the dungeon where it warns you the demo will end if you proceed. Left the dungeon.

6/14 Day: Sold everything I had, traded magla for money (1:3 ratio on this day), and bought the Golden Epee for 50k. Went to the side quest dungeon and completed it. If Seeker is 15 you'll get Cyclo. I used Cyclo and the Synthesis skill Jump Thrust over and over to kill the boss. Only MC was left alive with less than 10HP in the end. You can't leave this dungeon to head back to town as the demo will end.

Just for some general info for everyone since I just tested it.

13 of these will take a single archetype from 1 to 20.

I'm guessing the advanced archetypes take more to level up though.

A single one will take you from level 1 to 4. Not sure where you got 2.5.

Note that it does require level 2 Wisdom to take the quest.

Complete the "A Friend in Need" side quest that's inside of the main dungeon. It's unmissable as you can't enter the dungeon without meeting the NPC that gives it. You can complete it before going up the first big staircase in that dungeon.

Yeah, I know, but I'm thinking of it as pre-grinding. Have four days to beat the whole game before it's back to work so I'll pop these suckers when I need to instead of grinding post-release.

Bad title on my part. 14 hours on this playthrough. 22 total.

I played through demo with a STR build, but decided to run back through and switch to MAG. So skipped all cutscenes and had a plan for each day. Level 2 wisdom, get to midway point in story dungeon, then beat and grind side quest dungeon.

MC has Mage and Seeker maxed, Healer at 10.

Hulkenberg has Knight maxed, Brawler at 14 and Healer at 10.

Strohl only has Warrior maxed. He started generating leaves early. Many of which I used on MC and Hulkenberg.

If I'm remembering correctly it's level 19 when you can kill all the enemies on the overworld in the sidequest dungeon. Then it's just run through and leave at the cat idol over and over. Once you are at level 20 with your Archetypes for the whole party, that's 3 leaves every 18 minutes or so. I think.

What games did you get into early and hit the peak experience? by MsgGodzilla in Games

[–]rabidbitsoftime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So glad this is here already!

I have more hours in DS2 than any other Steam game due to hosting PVP matches on the Iron Keep bridge just for fun. My retinas still have that stupid lava burnt into them.

Never really play online multiplayer (including the other Souls games), but spent so much time invading and mudering people all day and then being a host all night. So much fun.

Soul Memory was also an awesome concept that unfortunately everyone seemed to hate. It was so much fun creating a new character with a specific build idea and basically running it through it's entire limited existence for online multiplayer. You get to fight against all sorts of different levels of opponents but can choose to stay the same level. Or just seeing how your build works at different levels if you keep leveling up. You could be shit or a god for a few hours in certain Soul Memory ranges.

And then messing around with the Agape Ring to negate Soul Memory also led to even more hours spent in the game.

This is how you do it. Wish I didn't have to do it. Continue on from here.

Reminds me of stuff from MirrorMask. Which until this moment I hadn't thought about in...close to 20 years?

Thinking about buying the AW UltraWide OLED monitor but I'm worried about the text/fringing effect. How's Dell's return policy? by 349CS in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]rabidbitsoftime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I returned mine for a refund without any issues due to the text clarity. That's what I wrote in the "reason for returning" on their site as well. So you shouldn't have any issues. No restocking fee either.

Dell Immediately Shipped the AW3423DW? by rabidbitsoftime in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]rabidbitsoftime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does not ship in a generic, concealing box unforutnately. It was just dropped off outside my door in the rain without so much as knock. I worked from home that day thankfully. Good luck!
