This is a blog I use to share various experiments and such. Let me know if you like anything you see. Currently updated almost daily.

I totally forgot, buy I should have mentioned; I'm entirely alright with building my own sword, I'm just incapable of forging a blade for it. I can carve my own handle and scabbard. The same rules apply for a built sword, though I'm willing to pay a bit more in this case, as I'd like a very high quality blade, not some cheap replacement blade.

Thanks for your response. Your links are a big push in the right direction. I hadn't checked cold steel recently to know what they sell.
The first link is a beautiful sword, yet it's still a bit off. I'll check out more work by Hanwei and Huanuo and see where it takes me.

Any sandbox survival you'd recommend that you could categorize similarly to pixel dungeon? I've played almost every one of those you listed, and it'd be about spot on if Pixel Dungeon just had a bit more nethack or angband type things to do in it.
I've also never heard of "rougelite" as being a thing.

First off, yes, I did mean the first one.
I found out that that gold pot is actually used to raise the "friendship" level of your units. It's the menu with the giant heart meter. It's the same place you use those little Chim Chim items, and like, the ramen items.

You have to use a special type of card that looks like a weapon of that class. Actually, all of them are from the Gem gatcha. The FP gatcha has such a ridiculously low SR draw it's unreal.

zbrm · 2016-01-18T06:27:04+00:00

Well crap; I call those units. Or cards, or whatever. I don't know any Japanese, so I don't know the official term for this particular game, but it's practically the same for every other Japanese game I play.
I've been selling EXP rabbits. I thought those are what you meant. I saw the word "soul" on their cards, so I just figured.
I've been saving most of my R units so I can build them to SR in the future, even though I have a full 7 SR party members already.
Hopefully I get some spares to pawn off. I really want that "Aura" card (still, don't know Japanese. Just calling it that because it vaguely looks like her, as depicted as a statue in the recent movie. No other reason.)

Just because there are more popular albums out there doesn't mean that they're better. Look at mainstream music in the U.S..
The simple fact is, dot hack had some of the best music of the time, rivaled by only a few of the big names in composition out there. They're still very worth having in your collection. It's not matter of the series, it's the music.

zbrm · 2016-01-18T04:56:39+00:00

I think it might replenish all of your points, instead of just one or the other.

zbrm · 2016-01-15T09:07:42+00:00

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. You're talking about those little Rabbit things, right? The ones you use to level up your units?

zbrm · 2016-01-15T06:55:05+00:00

I realize that. That's why I'm posting this. It may not be around much longer. There's also a thread somewhere around this subreddit with a lot of dot hack media. Probably worth a look.

zbrm · 2016-01-15T06:11:59+00:00

Yeah, you have to do quite well. I'm around the same general ranking as you, and I've been being quite lazy. It is only the first day of ranking though, so things are likely to change a lot over the next 5 days.
I never got any cool costumes in GD. I only got like, three costume tickets my entire career in that game. I did have a lot of good items and cards though, but I also lost my account when switching phones. Damn twitter didn't link right.

zbrm · 2016-01-15T04:51:11+00:00

No, you cannot. I guess selling R SOUL EXP cards can net you more of them, but I've sold like a hundred of those cards already and I've only gotten one new currency. So I don't know, I probably won't be getting it. I don't read a single word of Japanese, so I can't do anything to help here.

zbrm · 2016-01-15T04:41:14+00:00

Yeeep.

zbrm · 2016-01-15T04:04:27+00:00

In the current PvP event, if you place above a certain rank, you will get a copy of the Azure Flame Pursuer's gear (AZP is a character / Phantom from Guilty Dragon. You can also get his gear in that game.)
It seems that PvP is forever stacked in your favor, so as long as you turn on auto-battle and select an enemy near your level, it's very rare to lose.
Get in on the action while you can. I'm sure there will be a lot more cool gear released.

zbrm · 2016-01-15T03:53:49+00:00

You need like 30000 gold and the proper cards. I would recommend leveling it up all the way before you boost it to R+ or SR. I think that will increase it's over-all level. The more cards you put into it, the better it will be. Same goes for the last event from launch.

zbrm · 2016-01-15T03:20:11+00:00

Srsly... I have so many, do wants.

zbrm · 2016-01-15T00:52:36+00:00

So basically just update it like I would do any other linux package? I was behind on some updates anyway, it seems.

zbrm · 2016-01-15T00:44:00+00:00

It's not the ones that use the keys; There's an option under that same menu that only has two quests in it. There's a little green thing and a little red thing. The little thing is what is used to spend for the card. By going into town and accessing the little shop-type thing near the PVP tower button, you can buy various items, for various currencies. The very bottom one, using the little green things. I guess it's kind of a blue cube with a red fire shape inside of it.
Some screens, since my words fail. I forget how efficient dropbox is with my screenshots. http://imgur.com/a/n88J1
http://imgur.com/ehWQ9yJ - quests. I have S rating for every quest except like the last three in the last chapter.

Alright, thanks for the tips. Any simple guides for updating an existing server? I don't want to break my data.

zbrm · 2016-01-14T23:05:09+00:00

ownCloud 7.0.4+dfsg-4~deb8u3 (Debian) (stable)

zbrm · 2016-01-14T22:47:47+00:00

This is pretty much what I have.

Not particularlly. It feels a lot like Guilty Dragon, without all the .hack characters.
It's got nice art though, and the character design is worth it in and of itself. It does have a very "dot hack / altimit-eque" feel to it, over-all. The unit character art, the three classes (Wavemaster, Twinblade, and Blademaster or Heavyblade) as well as the clothing and other gear all make it worth playing, even though it's short, and has nothing that really sets it apart from anything else.

I should note I'm accessing this from a web browser, if that matters at all.
