It seems obvious NOW, but I had a sweet bow drop but could not insert a gem into it. I finally noticed that it had no empty gem icon on it. I searched through my weapons that I have kept and found a few others that would not allow a gem. Bummer. Any way to add a gem slot?
I was closing out some extra memory orbs, as they would not be needed for the Star Path when they WERE needed for the current Star Path! I forgot all about both the routine duties this week AND the vault reward. This is also the beginning of when I get back the extra moonstones from getting the premium path. I finally got the very strange tulip? house, which lights up as well as the Chinese Chrysanthemum house.
I don't have a stopwatch (about 45-49 seconds each), but it seems the fireworks above the palace house last twice as long as a single click. If so, that is new to me. The fireworks end with a couple of low bangs, and then they start up again. Clicking 5 times only lasts as long as the double click. Can someone check this out so I do not feel I am making this up? Is there anything else that reacts to multiple clicks in the game?
The first few skill points that are a must for me are Double Jump and, for melee, Merciless Attack. Lumberjack and Mason, Meh. Runner is very useful as you can move a lot faster and longer. Updraft is great, as are any weapons specializations (for me, one-handed and bow). To help stay in the shroud longer (Inner Fires) and increasing rested time (Well Rested) are both good. After this it gets complicated, heh.
I was worried that if I put food into the magic chests and then used the pad to empty inventory, it would be put into the chests. No worries, mate. If it is in the hot bars, it is safe; only the backpack items are pulled out.
Going through the first hollow halls, I found that there were a couple of changes in them. I like how I can now pull a skeleton without alerting the whole crowd if I am careful enough (have Enemy perception down to 75%). Fights are TOUGH, but the new full blitz of a focused hit can allow me to do a lot of damage when I need it. A few more hidden areas with rewards. The end part of the hall is quite a bit different. There are a lot more small villages, caves, thick wooded areas, and generally more stuff when wandering about. Water areas are available early in the game. Getting much more fleshed out leading up to Version one. What have you noticed has changed lately?
I love the new Observatory but was wondering why the things that look like lights didn't, err, light up. Now they do! The Riverboat added a bell ring to the little lines around the bell. Little added tweaks like this are what keep me coming back to play!
SO many new items added to my inventory after I made sure to craft at least one of everything. All of these items on the Decor page were all red-dotted until I accidentally swiped through them, heh.
I will not spoil the exact nature of how to get them, but one of the early craftspeople allows these to be made cheaply. Good on you, devs!
I am getting too old for my reflexes to keep up with the game's boss fights. On my what? 7th restart, I halve the boss's health and damage. It lets me continue the game without resorting to endless sniping and dodging to finish them off. They were fun to tackle the first couple of times, but when I die a lot now from a missed roll or dodge, the fun just goes away into a slog of a fight. With close to 750 hours played, I am now taking liberty with certain portions so I can continue to enjoy the game.
I pick up the blue chest daily. Lately, I have seen the chest migrating through the different biomes in almost a pattern. It pretty well matches how the biomes are laid out in the fast travel map sequence. Plaza, Peaceful Meadow, Dazzle Beach, etc. Is anyone else seeing this as well?
