I took a nap instead of playing xD I'm not level 40 yet, so I'm hoping that's why the cave isn't open for me yet. I'm bringing Odin along for a killing spree, so hopefully that helps too.
Thanks everyone for your helpful advice!
On a scale of 1-5, it would be 6 or 7. It's a great game. *
I've been playing solo since I got the game on Friday, and clocked over 24h xD (sleep is for the weak).
EDIT: thought of a few downsides. It's not all sunshine and daisies (the story is kinda meh imo and the music is not very memorable, except for the chanting when you get near a "boss" monster - and only for a few boss monsters).

Dark Void is my most annoying location in the whole game, for two reasons:
- The area you were given for fighting is so small and condensed that it's difficult (if not impossible) to just pick on monsters one-by-one. If the boss has already spotted you, good luck! This kind of challenge become even more irritating when there's another factor.
- There are Star Quests that are requiring you to find certain monsters in Dark Void. Sounds fun? Well, it's actually tedious. To begin with, not all of the monsters would spawn at the same time. Every time you enter the Dark Void, which boss and set of 4-5 monsters will appear is determined by the RNG. You will certainly have to get out and re-enter the place a few times just to get the boss/monster you're looking for. Doesn't seem to be a big deal for any combat job that isn't Hunter. If you're attempting to complete the latter's Star Quests for Dark Void, you're be basically dealing with RNG after RNG. That one quest asking you to kill 15 Shadow Wolves is tiresome. So, you have to be lucky 4+ times to get the quest done. Hope you enjoy resetting Dark Void 50 times for its stingy RNG to be nice with you.

I was looking up some questions that I had and I was pretty surprised to find the reviews for this game.
Why on earth are they so bad? I'm enjoying the heck out of the game so far. But man, it's getting steamrolled in reviews for being "repetitive" and "boring".

The best explanation I can give for that is that the reviewers don't dispose with as much time on their hands as the commoners do.
So- after playing for a bit, I'm curious:
Do most people focus on advancing their lives first or get the main storyline out of the way? And do you focus on just one of the fighting-style lives or all of them?
I've been trying to up all of the lives as much as I can before I move along with the storyline, but I feel like- if there's a "wrong" way to play this game- that's it. Now that I've reached Adept in everything, I'm getting missions I can't complete. And since I'm focusing on all of the fighting lives at once, I think I've put myself at a disadvantage as I do surprisingly worse damage in battles than my companions.
Part of me wants to just start over, but I was just wondering what everyone else has chosen to do. c:

I havent got as far as you, i'm still only like 2 hrs into the game. I plan on concentrating on one combat life first, the magician while picking up tailoring and alchemy. But who knows, that might change as i play more.
So are you distributing the stat points evenly? since you're leveling all the combat classes?
Yeah- I distribute them rather evenly. I think I have a slightly higher Strength, but it really isn't anything significant.
When I started playing, I wasn't exactly sure what the game was designed to be played like, but now that I've gotten to Al Maajik, I'm fairly certain it wasn't designed to be played like that. I can hold my own in battle, but I can't even challenge Bigbeak or other higher-up bounties.
But the good news is- if I do decide to start over- I now know which lives I like the most.

EDIT: I'm level 36 now and do 0 damage to Bigbeak- just in case anyone is wondering

Your houses look amazing, great job! <3
Question; what are the items in the above picture? They kinda look like trophies? I've never seen them before, though I do recognize them (or well, they look familiar, at least).
Ha, yeah. Yesterday I defeated a large shadow monster so I was all proud of myself. Then I realized I had fought the wrong one.
I hadn't had the time to see which one it was since it immediately attacked me and it looked like a dragon, except it was a dinosaur. So I'll have to do that again, but for the same reasons as you stated, I really don't like the Dark Void. Oh well, at least I got some EXP from it. Well, I haven't read many reviews, but in all honesty, I find the mini-games repetitive and boring. I tend not to focus too much on them, but that kinda hurts my other Lives (like I need better gear and what not). I guess it might be a case of focusing too much on one Life? I mean; fighting is fun but if it's all you do, then it can become not fun, you know? I'll read some reviews later today and I'll also go check Amazon.
I kinda rushed through the main storyline because I didn't find it all that interesting and just wanted it to be over and areas to be unlocked. But I had been mostly playing as a Paladin, before I finally switched Lives and got my Miner and Woodcutter licenses. Right now my rank for Paladin is Hero, and so is Woodcutter. Miner is Master and the others are quite low because I haven't focused too much on them. I'm thinking I should have focused more on several Lives so that my levels would have been more or less the same. But there's no wrong way to play the game; you play it however you want. The important thing is that you have fun.
You could always reset your stats at the Al Maajik library? It costs 30,000 Dosh, though. But it might be worth it if you feel you're stuck.
This is an awesome website made by veeveearnh on GameFAQs: http://reveriaexplorer.com/gatherer More info can be found here. The website has also info on Locations, Items and Monsters. It's definitely very helpful!
So I've been reading about the friendship system and I'm curious. I know your friendship starts at 50 and can go up, but can it also go down? And another question; does it make a difference whether you keep NPC's in your party or whether sometimes you send them home and then go invite them again?

Wow, that is the best site I have come across, thank you so much for sharing this with the rest of us
Friendship can drop, if they faint and the timer runs out before you help them.
And I haven't really seen anything that happens when sending them home or inviting them again in a short period of time
I started with Paladin but fairly quickly changed to Mercenary as my main fighter life and concentrated on rising him through the ranks. I added as many other lives as I could but left them on hold for later. I have to admit to not being over enthused with the storyline so pushed it forward as quickly as possible.I do think you need to decide on a main fighting life as the skills are carried forward to all other lives, that way you start to get to grips with the army of monsters trying to kill you when you issue forth as one of the non fighter lives.
Because there are so many options, I am not sure there is a right way or a wrong way to play this game. I doubt two people are playing an identical strategy. While one part of me wants to reach higher levels and complete all the lives, another says, take your time and enjoy it, why all the rush?

Thanks ^^, those are mementos of your adventures
, you can buy them for 8,000 dosh each from the plushie in Divinus garden after the main story.Thanks ^^, those are mementos of your adventures
That's where Noelia can be found, right? I did see there was a shop there, but I didn't realize just what those items would look like inside a house. They're very cool! I'll keep them in mind when I begin decorating my house.
Good to know. Thanks!

That's nothing compared to the last tower trial. Three bosses in an even smaller space, and that's still a lot better than the three knights on one of the outside parts.... After beating those, the final boss seemed almost easy.
(And I killed half of the wolves during the story on Levitania xD)

Bloop.
Totally broke down and bought the game yesterday. XD Put in a few hours so far and was wondering is it better to finish the main story asap or take your time with it?
Been playing as a mercenary mainly, but decided to try out the alchemist class. I dunno if anyone is this class, but I could use a lil help.
Currently a fledgling alchemist and I saw that one of the challenges is called quality control, so you have to make a high quality HP potion. How do you do that?
I thought it was being fast and accurate, so I ended up with two instead one potion. However, it doesn't complete that challenge.
