Crap I dunno what to do about this promoting business. Everyone's floating around level 20-23.

I've done the two battles and I've swapped out Rick for Elric - Elric sucks but he's more interesting than Rick at this point and I've never tried to use him so I wonder if he gets any better.

Will I promote people or just save it at the start of the next battle? Sarah can become a master monk right now, but she's also 1 exp away from getting a level up. I'm thinking the sooner we get her being a master monk the better, yeah? Since we're not taking time to level up it'd be better to get in there early to maxmise her master monking levels. What about the others? I don't want to go promoting people against everyone else's plans.

I didn't promote anyone - let's hold off until after Creed's Mansion. Also, the game has been saved at a priest in the secret village - watch out as you are leaving because you might get into a flash battle which wouldn't be good. The harpy battle is done - go straight through the cave and remember to pick up the Brave Apple hidden item in there.

I don't know what Chef was talking about with one really hard battle, I mean oh sure the skeletons and priests hit for 20 sum damage each. but hey this fight was so-so. No one died, and everyone is atleast lvl 20 except maybe Rick. I also removed Kiwi and put Rick in because Kiwi is a dead weight.

I found the Secret Book (special class for Kazin and Tyrin) Chef blatantly missed, and the Mithril he missed in the secret town. I'm geussing nobody went back to get the Dry Stone, so I doubt we will be able to make it to the Dwarf Village making all the Mithril we collected useless until we get the Sky Orb.

Anyways Sarah now knows lvl 3 heal, but she'll always heal 15 nomatter which level so stick to 1 and 2.

So I am in Desktop Kingdom and i've already talked to the King, so just head on over to the Chess Board. You might want to equip the Broad Sword to Bowie or Luke, and I got a Defense Ring too. Everyone is unpromoted.

Jamie looks like you'll be getting to fight the Pink Rat afterall.

EDIT: All the items that are suddenly gone are in the Caravan, it is an item storage after all so it's a good idea to use it as such.

A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

Boulvae you've done the wrong fight I think, or Chef has. I thought we could avoid this scenario...rats!! Chef should have done the battle with the skeletons - you should have been doing the Chess fight. I guess that task is now Dead Phoenix's. You can do it!!!

Maybe I uploaded the wrong file. Let me upload it again. Sorry about that, really strange! But yeah, you were supposed to be doing the chess battle. Yeah, the one right before it was pretty easy.

I am too engrossed with rage right now to think properly.

I'll do it later though.

Oh well, you can only use 12 force members at a time. Also depending on your strategy some of the force will be better then others. If your a baiting kinda guy like me then brass gunners are perfect for you.

I can't download the save file chef, could you re-upload it? Keeps giving me an error.

Brass Gunners are garbage.  In fact, all the archers are garbage.  May is passable because she can move further than two squares.

Anyway, are you guys actually planning on promoting at L40?  My assumption was that there ultimately wouldn't be enough experience to go around for it, but I guess it all depends on how quickly those levels roll out once finally promoted (which would be pretty quick).

Actually I was on the assumption we'd go as far as we can go without promotion, then whoever is judge of that could promote them. The items are in the Caravan as of right now however the Chess battle is as hard as I remember it to be. I could just end it by killing the king immediately but that wouldn't yield sufficient experience.

EDIT

Alright I am now done, and finished the long, tough, bloody battle. It was annoying, and frustrating aswell but alas I am proud because this was certainly better then my first time doing this (a whole week).

The trick was I drew the enemy out to come to me, I only really start getting in trouble when the casters start coming out to play or the King himself because he just walks around like he owns the place and sorta does one shotting everybody or his uncanny ability to double attack and counter every close combat attack I give him. I only lucked out because a bishop decided to kill Jaha (bringing my force down to a mere five at this point) instead of healing him when he was at 2 health, in the end desperate suicide tactics won the day.

As far as performance goes Gerhalt, Peter, and Slade were invaluable in this fight. While Peter was concentrated on most of the fight he and Slade were fairly equal in terms of damage but Slade was faster (obviously) while Gerhalt (this is why he is the highest level below) was punching everyone into oblivion because every enemy was invaribly drawn into his line of fire (right beside him) after they were softened up by Slade and Peter and he was largely ignored in the last fight this time. Unfortunately Chester was only good for bait and his crits did 2 damage, surprisingly I managed to lvl him up so he can get promoted now.

Everyone except Bowie, Sarah, May, Gerhalt, and Rick were dead and I revived them. it was chump change cause I noticed we got alot of money. Interestingly enough it was May who won the battle even though she was seemingly slow, the next speed chicken should go to her after promotion I say. This battle strengthens my belief that we should do this when we promote her.

Bowie: 24, 40exp
Sarah: 24, 2exp
Chester: 20, 13exp
Jaha: 23, 63exp
Kazin: 24, 37exp
Slade: 24, 13exp
Peter: 23, 73exp
May: 24, 65exp
Gerhalt: 25, 23exp
Luke: 22, 23exp
Rick: 23, 41exp
Elric: 21, 44exp

Anyways I put everything that wasn't an aid or was vendor trash (or just something wasting space at the moment or didn't need to be used right now) in the Caravan.

I think I made this fight harder for me then it should have been...

Bowie: 25, 5exp
Sarah: 25, 16exp
Chester: 21, 74exp
Jaha: 23, 92exp(he's to damn slow!)
Kazin: 25, 88exp
Slade: 25, 16exp
Peter: 25, 33exp
May: 25, 31exp
Gerhalt: 25, 98exp
Luke: 23, 24exp
Rick: 23, 95exp
Elric: 21, 82exp

I kinda rushed things in this battle, Sarah spent the whole time sitting in one spot healing people, but she's kinda slow and by the end probably at least half the force was dead(of course that Willard guy was insane, if Bowie had not been sent to Sarah to get healed, i'd have lost from his attack 3 times for every one of my guys turns).

Anyways, i saved back at the Floor town, I tried to go on ahead, but I decided someone else should make the decision on which character we get(I'm certainly leaning towards the Priest, I don't really see a need for another DD right now).

I promoted EVERYONE. They're all promoted, except Eric. He is who I chose at Creed's Mansion - Karna is obviously the better choice, but Eric is easily the best knight and this should make it more of a challenge until we can go back and get Karna later on.

Don't promote Eric yet - we can get the Pegasus Wing in a couple of battles and turn him into a Pegasus Knight so he can fly.

Anyway the battle was pretty easy and while a couple of characters died, the new weapons mean we can defeat most of these enemies easily.

I also got the dry stone from the dwarven cave, janet joined (she's in the caravan), chester is out of the team for eric. Some other stuff but you guys can check that out for yourselves in the game.

I'm thinking Luke isn't gonna last much longer. Elric can actually turn into a pretty strong character if he's given a chance but you guys do what you like and I'll go with it.

This is getting pretty fun now that the game has gotten a lot harder. The last battle was pretty difficult and I'm actually kind of surprised I didn't lose anyone, because there were a lot of times that probably should have happened. I think just about everyone went up at least one level, a lot of people went up two and I think one even went up three. I was also surprised about that because I didn't think anyone would level up. The next battle is the one where you get Higgins and after that you can get the pegasus wing in Pacalon, so you should promote Eric.

Okay, the difficulty was moderate. Everyone was getting hurt so Sarah was busy healing. One lizard hit really hard though.

Everyone is lvl 3-4 except Gerhalt who is 5.

Anyways i'm having trouble uploading so i'm just gonna email to the next person. My internet connection has been buggered up for a while could be because of the annual flood manitoba has.
