Essence of Battle: Complete each of the jobs in Job Training and you unlock this, a leaderboard where you grind bosses to get trivial stat upgrades (they do add up to something, but not much).There's not much more point to exploring the small levels, jumping and walking up the side pathways is pointless, but they're pretty. Searching: See at the bottom of the screen if you have 0 to 5/5 sparklies you can collect, they're scattered in various overworld levels, they give you currency for the in-world shop (no gold here, they trade in pearls and souls!).Even some of the almost-clusterfucks are fun, where there's 1 or 2 of us last-man-standing, the boss nearly dead, and we flick between heal, attack, and just barely squeak out a victory. But for every one of those, there's a group where everyone does their job, the healer heals, the tank holds aggro, the rest of us murder the boss, and there's that sense of "this is a really good game!" It's like every MMO wants to be in hours, but this does it in minutes. OH SWEET CTHULHU I've never been so angry at some people. For fuck's sake, when you're in Wave 1/2 of a boss fight, sitting at the "lobby" (10 HP monster that doesn't attack), WAIT FOR FIVE PLAYERS! Half the time, some jackass pokes the lobby as soon as they get in, and then me and them get murdered by the boss before anyone else can join. The boss fights are fun, all but expert are tough but doable with a smart group, or a clusterfuck with a bad group. Another week and I should be capable of clearing Expert. Once you get thru Hard mode in a zone, you can do Expert… and currently these just demolish me even in a good co-op group. This requires you to grind a lot and get your "Power" (total gear & stat scores) up, so I'm currently only about halfway thru Hard mode. Once you've finished the main quest, which currently ends at a bit of a downer cliffhanger (beachcomber) on Edol Outskirts Night (huh, very much like Another Eden dumping you alone on a beach mid-game…), go back to the start and do Hard mode.
#Taskboard tasks dnd free#
This ate my free time, sleep, and probably cut into useful work time. Some of that's idle-grinding, but uh, yeah. Uh, Screen Time reports I've now played 28h55m, and it's only been out 3 days. I'm constantly fiddling with new gear to add another few points to Power. The game will instruct you once, so pay attention.

#Taskboard tasks dnd upgrade#
Limit break duplicates, upgrade gear levels (uses seeds/gems you'll be spending the rest of your life grinding), slot anything that's better than current, auto-slot "support" gear (just adds stats, but your old levelled gear isn't useless!). Now look at your Equipment & Upgrades.Menu brings up your char, check the "Panel Missions" which are long-term goals, "Missions" which are daily and progression completion rewards, and treasure chest.At any time there may also be Guerilla (1 hour, 3x a day, progress thru a short boss grind to get gear & upgrade gems), and a Weekly mission (same thing, different gear & upgrades). Go to Events, there's currently (until 07-11) Canary Eggs (basic mid-tier armor), Pehn (progressively harder werewolf boss fight), Job Coaching (you can switch jobs any time), Skill Training ("impossible" target dummies, for seeing how your build works).If you see someone with (?) over their head, you haven't unlocked their quest yet.

You can pretty much faceroll or hit Auto on these if you even slightly try to keep up your gear.
#Taskboard tasks dnd series#
Go to the next quest zone, click on whoever has (!) over their head (mostly Matilda), go thru a series of Normal (easy) story & fight stages.
