Game is great
I've put about 30 hours into playing this a lot of it is grinding and item hunting but I'm trying to make the best weapons and gear I can. I did what one person suggested and went with falchions I had a level 15 axe wielder and they do suck compared to falchions. I hardly use the hurricane or finalty of falchion. My main strategy is to berserk, attack pot, def pot and speed up and just go rape bosses it's also a good way to level up quick and farm items.
There are several spots that you can farm and most of them are at boss areas where there are a lot of monsters. I can't tell you where I grinded at and at what levels I did it but mainly I tried to kill monsters that were my level or a couple higher and with the attack and def pots you can manage. A good spot is the Abandoned Mine when you're a higher level about 31 or so and kill the level 33's. you can also kill everything there and before you use a town scroll out and stock up and just go back in this is really helpful for grinding.
Now here are some of the bad things that have ticked me off about this game... I had the Assassin +2 and that thing was a beast, I chanced my luck with it and got level 4 poison successfully and then I had one more compose left on it and decided to go with level 4 attack % bonus and failed and lost the most beast weapon I ever had. I really think that the 50% chance to succeed or fail kills it for composing. Or make it where later in the game there is a shop dedicated to selling stones, and blessing stones or even make it where you can make a stone of blessing from 3 or 4 high level stones of earth/wind/fire/water.
I have put all my char points into luck and I find them hardly ever or I get real lucky and get 2 stones of blessing from consecutive chests. Also I don't think potions of luck have any bearing on getting good items from chests cause I've used them several times during farming and got jack. To the people wanting to max out your skills, you can do so it will just take you some time. I've found about 5 or 6 skill tomes during my farming and they have helped out alot. I think I have level 18 in prof of falchion, 10 in all attribute, 9 in the specialty of falchion, 1 in the finalty of falchion, 3 speedup, 2 berserk 1 overload so that's 44 skill points all in all. I think you get some from quests too.
But yeah I understand game developers need to make money and I guess I could quit griping about stones and just buy them but the game is good without having to buy them and you shouldn't try making the game as hard as possible to find what you need just so we'll buy stones from mochicoins, when there's a 50% chance they'll be wasted. I don't know MAYBE I would buy stones from mochicoins if I got a 100% chance of getting level 4 attribute or +4 or +5 weaponry/armor. That would be a good incentive for me to buy stuff from you. OR make something that increases your success rate with composing that would be exclusive on the premium shop. Those are all great ideas that maybe you should take into consideration.
This game is great like I said and if you make another one like it I might be hell bent on paying for it on Xbox or something like that. You just need to tweek it a little more.
