The fountain vs bed myth tested
This is a work in progress.
There has been a rumour for some time that the royal suite gives better level up results than the fountains in the dungeons. I have at last decided to test this after some recent horrible stat increases using it. Whenever possible, I was in good condition as I leveled. My bonus roll points were given as Str+1, Int,Pie,Vit,Agi+10, Luk+5 on a male porkul.
Overall attribute increase is the sum of all increases gain, with the exception of HP and MP. HP and MP are included mostly for completeness, but if the fountain is truly worse there should be a noticeably larger difference between the average and higher values for these than for the bed.
Leveling to 20 on a thief, using only the fountain in Caligrase sewers to …
Wiki Quests! Wiki revitalisation project
Here is a generic listing of "quests" for things that might want to be done on the wiki. I'm putting these out there to try to get players interested in helping out on the wiki.
- 1 I be feelin' sturdy!
- 1.1 Suggestions:
- 2 Monster Hunt
- 2.1 Similar Quests
- 3 Photographer 2
- 4 Thief of MP
- 4.1 Similar Quests
Objective: Determine the effects of Vitality on Defense
Details: The game says that Vitality has some sort of effect on physical defense. It would be handy to figure out how much and if it's worth putting points into it for better defense.
As a side quest in a related vein, it would be handy to check if it has any effect on magic defense as well.

Wiki revitalisation project rankings
In true RPG NPC spirit, I have begun giving quests to random passers by in the hope that they'll get on the wiki and edit some stuff. So far, the quests seem to be attracting some attention and maybe we'll get some new participants soon (and even better, more wiki contributors).

Attack/Defense Attribute test
- 1 Aim and Method
- 2 Results
- 3 What it means for you:
- 3.1 PvP
- 3.2 PvE
- 3.3 In general
You may (or may not) have noticed that weapons and armour have attributes such as Slash, Strike and Crush. I've been wondering about these a little and decided to see what sort of an impact they made.
I got 3 weapons and enhanced them so that they had about the same attack power, a Partisan+1 (Atk 63, 100% Pierce), a Bastard Sword+1 (Atk 63, 60% Slash, 40% Pierce) and a Long Hammer+2 (Atk 64.3, 100% Strike). Weapons were chosen to try to minimise change in damage due to attack power and max out the damage due to the damage type.
At the time of testing, I was wearing a Splint Bandana (18 Def, 30% Slash, 30% Strike, 40% Pierce), a pair of Splint Gloves (19 Def, 30% Slash,…
Building a party-friendly priest
The poor priest class seems to have been rather neglected on the wiki, and since I primarily play a priest, I thought I would put down some things I've tried or plan to try bringing back to the priest class.
- 1 Cross class skills in Priests
- 1.1 Mage Skills
- 1.2 Thief Skills
- 1.3 Fighter Skills
- 1.4 Priest Skills
- 2 Sample Builds
- 2.1 Proto-Bishop
- 2.1.1 Damage Dealer
- 2.1.2 Super Buffer
- 2.2 PvPriest
- 2.2.1 Agressive
- 2.2.2 Defensive
- 2.3 Superhealer
- 2.1 Proto-Bishop
The mage is the most logical choice for a priest to cross class to. Priests can use almost all mage equipment, importantly staffs, and with the addition of some of the hefty fighter class armour can become quite formidable. MP and damage will drop slightly, but the added defense and HP can greatly increase your up time. With the…
