Gameplay

New Golorock quests.

1- Star Quest

Growl In The Window

Pick up the quest and go knocking on windows in Golorock Forest. There are 4 different growls living inside big trees in Golorock Forest.

Figure out which one of them put up the quest by reading the quest’s description and go knock on their pink window shutters to complete their quest!

Rewards: 1 QC and 100 EXP

2- Star Quest

Mating Season

Pick up the quest and go to Golorock Forest. There you need to find 3 growls who are horned up from the mating season.

Find and mate with all 3 of them to finish the quest.

Rewards: 5 QC and 200 EXP

Once you’ve seen all the animations, you can rewatch them at the Rewatch House!

3- Star Quest

Chief Bottowl

Pick up the quest and go to Golorock Forest. There you need to find Chief Bottowl and beat him in battle.

Rewards: 10 QC and 800 EXP

There is now a tablet showing Rufflection’s droprates near him.

Paradino Quest Guild updates

The dreaded ball game in the Paradino forest has been changed a bit, the goal near the mine is now much easier to score!

The same ball game should now complete correctly, if you have the right amount of goals in the forest. I know this is a painful quest, I’m sorry! ;O;

Quest Guild EXP Upgrades

Paradino and Golorock now have their own EXP Upgrades for Quest Guild quests. They can be bought from the QG stores on the islands.

In addition to the new upgrades, Dungeon Runs from Dunny (Quest Guild Lounge) now also count as a repeatable quests and these upgrades will give you EXP when you beat the challenges and finish them by talking to Dunny.

Battle changes

Chieftain Boss testing.

I’ve started working on a new boss you can fight when you pick up one of the 3-star quests in Golorock. You can find him in the vista point in the Northern part of Golorock Forest.

He uses 4 different skill that loop and a special skill at the end of each turn.

Flame Strike

Deals Fire damage and BURNs the target.

Water Orb

Deals Water damage and reduces M.DEF for 5 turns. Targets the character with most M.DEF.

Thunder

Deals Thunder damage and STUNs the target.

Tempest

Deals Wind damage to everyone.

Opressive Aura (WIP)

Deal 10% of targets MAX HP against their M.DEF at the end of each turn. Can be turned into Spiritual Aura with ACT skills that heal instead.

Blue Slime update

The blue slime enemies in the first forest area of the game have been updated a bit!

The slimes there don’t have different drops anymore. You can get both slime items from the same solo fights. (Potionia/Mana Lily)

The Slimes are now weak to Fire/Sword/Dagger/Axe damage. This is to teach the weakness mechanics to the player.

Because of the weakness change, I’ve buffed their HP up a bit from 30 HP to 50 HP.

Slimes have a new rotation of skills that go like this:

Attack.

Defend

Slime Slap

Slime Slap skill animation changed a bit to be smoother.

Water Dungeon Bubble enemy update.

I made the fights a bit more predictable, so there won’t be turn ones where all the bubbles appear. I also tried to disallow the bubbles to summon more bubbles if they’re all already there. This should decrease the unnecessary text from appearing on other turns but the one where the last Bubble is summoned!

Bubbles will use “Bubble Pop” for 2 turns, before summoning another Bubble.

Bubbles below 50% HP, have a 50% chance to use “Summon Bubble” instead of Bubble Pop.

The only way for “Summon Bubble” to happen more than once in a turn is if there are 2 or more Bubbles with less than 50% HP.

If all the Bubbles are there, the Bubbles shouldn’t be able to use “Summon Bubble”.

Nerf to M.DEF debuff, now only lasts for 3 turns instead of 5.

Skills

Dagger skill “Bullseye” buff/rework

Adventurer’s Bullseye damage calculation has been changed!

Damage buffed

OLD: ATK + (SPE * 0.5)

NEW: SPE 2.5 – enemy SPE 2

Wulfrick’s SMASH! Skill now costs 75% of current health to cast!

I made this change to make it a little bit riskier to use the powerful skill.

Layout

There is a new room in Golorock Mountain. You can find the new event with Vick Drole and a chest with the new item “Life Elixir” in it.
