    Dungeon Delver Quest (Original Fantasy... again)

    Scarcity is the primary determinant of a chunk's approximate worth, not the absolute gain. We will ultimately need to raise several skills to B+ to advance beyond a certain point in the tower effectively, as will everyone else. Chunks are, especially early on, a finite resource by all...

    Dungeon Delver Quest (Original Fantasy... again)

    Wonderful! Okay, this simplifies things. Any bidding or buying or the like should happen at the end, not in the middle. A: People will have more shards, and B: if we have more chunks, it gets much easier to divide them without fighting each other or worrying about backstabbing. Members of the...

    yrsillar: Does anyone in the party know the approximate going price of a chunk in shards? Can any of them roughly guestimate the market value of any of the other drops? Are we planning to continue today or turn back after this? The bidding system is both very cumbersome if taken forward into...

    Dungeon Delver Quest (Original Fantasy... again)

    Priority goes up by 1 for each hit on any enemy. So if you hit ten enemies at once, you gain ten priority. By contrast, healing raises it by 2, and healing the highest priority target raises it by 3. Yuuka currently has a skill that has us start fights at 4 priority. Against a single target...

    Dungeon Delver Quest (Original Fantasy... again)

    Wonderful. This means against 1-2 enemies, we're a relatively stable tank, however, any larger crowds are going to have us losing aggro fast to anyone with more AoE or even heals. Warrior's Intent will probably cover this, as large AoE should build priority fast and we start out higher by...

    Dungeon Delver Quest (Original Fantasy... again)

    So I started writing out a big essay on why adamant skin is amazing and the bestest best thing ever, then realized that there are a few points of ambiguity in the rules that need to be settled to really evaluate it, as well as our current viability as a tank in general. yrsillar A few...

    Dungeon Delver Quest (Original Fantasy... again)

    Okay, so skills. In the long run we're going to want most things at C, but in the short run we should be pretty damn careful to focus on building up our viability. Nodachi takes first place for most useless skill at a glance. It's an aggressive weapon on par with greataxe, but great-axes are...

    Dungeon Delver Quest (Original Fantasy... again)

    Easy enough to avoid. Rather this is good. We want to get a feel for other climbers and the community. Finding who not to party up with is just as good as finding who to party up with. Worth noting here is exhaustion. Large numbers of enemies give us increasing multiple-enemy penalties...

    [X] Someone who can heal [X] Just see who approaches you tomorrow I'd rather a small party than a large no one, but getting to know people early is important. This is more about networking than setting up a permanent party.

    Dungeon Delver Quest (Original Fantasy... again)

    So, our main problem is sustainability. We have, very likely, enough damage output and accuracy to beat most enemies we've seen fairly consistently. This means we can conceivably earn consistent shards for a day or two and buy up what we don't buy now. Our biggest issue is damage. If we can't...

    Dungeon Delver Quest (Original Fantasy... again)

    Our goals in conflict in priority 1. Live 2. Keep enemy attention on us. 3. Damage enemies 4. Progress upward Our taunt takes care of goal 2 and helps goal 3, but actively makes goal 1 harder in many cases. By contrast, great-club helps with goal 1 (We're more skilled, so we're going to...

    [X] Right No prep, no gear upgrades, few heals. Essentially, if one fight takes 1hp against some of the weakest mobs, we can make 5 fights before needing to be back or healed. However, mobs can potentially respawn behind us, meaning that we'll want 2-3 HP left as a margin. Potions help...

    [X] Bring him along, if he tries anything funny, you’ll just squish him. Edit: So, thinking about it, I'd like to aim for a smaller party. Fewer members=more XP early on which may help us get out of the rookie tier more easily. So, what do we want? Yuuka is both tanky and offensive, so I'd...

    Dungeon Delver Quest (Original Fantasy... again)

    Name: Yatsurugi no Yuuka Gender: Female Race: Oni Bio: Straightforward, perceptive, and exceedingly blunt to the point of cleverness. Yuuka proceeds in the quickest path to her goals and, while capable of subtlety rarely sees the need. Far from an idiot, Yuuka is actually both perceptive...
