I really wish acquiring classes wasnt limited to monsters near your level. It feeds into a perpetual cycle that causes me to continually be overleveled for all the content

I've had no problems doing all the side content as it becomes available and getting classes; if I need a hero class unlocked I keep them in my PT and 1 or two others as the same class and everyone gets it pretty quickly. Can even use the accessory that gives affinity to boost the learning rate. Only chapter 4 though, and i hear 5 really opens up the world, so maybe that happens then.

[Tyrath]

My mistake was using bonus exp early in the game and I've been consistenly 10ish levels above the current content. Classes don't unlock with that difference so I keep having to seek out monsters my level, which continues to make me overleveled.

[Kachiko]

Ah, yes. I read to stay away from that like the plague.

[Corrderio]

I used mine to powerlevel from the mid 40s to 60s and regret it.

[Tyrath]

Man this quest that needs 20 Heavy Pomegranates is a royal pain in the ass

[Corrderio]

Oh man. Fuck that quest and going into the lower regions for the last objects you needed.

Also I unlocked the "Blue Mage" of this game. It's a never ending grindfest.

[Tyrath]

Different quest. The one that requires lower region items needs a total of 50 items. But you can get 30 of each from NPCs.

This is a different one that needs Egg Sacks, Heavy Pomegranates and something else. I've found 2 locations in Cadensia for the Poms but they are rare as hell

[Corrderio]

Oh god there's another?

[Gokulo]

There's a bunch of quests that will take you there overall, so some MSG sneaking around is really necessary

[Tyrath]

Chapter 6 hero quest big spoilers

Spoiler: show

Annoyed about how Ethel and Cammuravi's ascension quests weren't really a quest. And Ethel's had nothing to do with Colony 4? Lame

If you go back to Colony 4, Bolearis just pretends he is seeing things instead of her. So lame

Why are Colony Omega and Lost Colony not real affinity colonies? Feel like they just kinda cut stuff out at the end here. Nimue should have been a hero. Give me more

Might be imagining it but once I put on food for collection boost, it really helped me get the damn heavy pomegranates way faster

[IceSylph]

Collection Boost food in general is very good as enemy materials actually count as Collectables. Manana's food that gives Item Drop+35% and Collectible+35% is the best food in game overall.

[Ratatapa]

Im at chapter 4 right after

Spoiler: show

Beating Moebius P and O

Think ill mostly focus on Main story and do side quests as I see them, I feel its a chore to always go back to other regions when you unlock a new traversal skill so ill do that exploring part near the end of the game I guess

Is Chapter 4 Archer the last traversal skill you get?

Spoiler: show

I got Teach already so atm I got Climb, Teach one and Rope Sliding

[Gokulo]

There's one more traversal skill (you can see one more free slot under Party Skills)

[Tyrath]

Ya what chapter do we get that in? I'm in 6 and still don't have it

[Gokulo]

It's in this chapter when you get a Hero Quest with a certain fight class.

[Tyrath]

Got it. Only have 1 class left to get

[Ratatapa]

isi t vital to get ascension quests before Endgame?

[Gokulo]

isi t vital to get ascension quests before Endgame?

Seems like a waste not to, some decent skills can be gained that way
