What if we have a thread where we all play through DQ1 and give each other hot tips and tricks in order to beat the game?
>>341731724
Tell me what the finger is for
Don't bother buying the bamboo pole, it sucks.
>>341731724
I honestly wish we did some kind of community game playthrough shit. Rather than just talk about old games and the fact that they're good and you should play them. If we had some kinda deadline, where this weekend, or this week, or whatever the fuck, we all play X game and make threads about it.
>How's your progress /v/
>I'm stuck on X an hes raping my shit
etc etc would actually be awesome.
>>341732495
Did someone make a vid with that model ?
>>341732495
>Actually being stuck on X
>Playing through X at all
The above would be the extent of those threads.
Seriously someone do this shit, would be much better than the cancer we have currently, might even be F U N
>>341731724
Did you know that your stat gains change depending on what you name your character in DQ1?
There's a hot tip
>>341731724
Sounds incredibly homosexual
>>341732601
And then others would add their methods, and people would apply those methods. And everyone would give a more accurate discussion on a game because they're actually playing it.
>>341732601
>X is cute! CUTE!
>thread derails into CUTE! CUTTTTEEE!!!
and this is what would happen if we tried it.
There's not really much tips you can give without telling you flat out what to do. At the start weapon is better than armor. Best to get the copper sword first however.
I guess a tip is that repel or whatever it's called doesn't work in dungeons. Only overworld and they are great to have if you are traveling from the castle to a new area.
>>341732749
How? Cant you only choose 4 letters?
Do each one of them correspond to a stat?
>>341732831
>X is for _____
>>341731724
Let's do it. If there's a Photoshop fag who can make some image we can totally get it done. We could have a daily thread for like two weeks. I'm not familiar with the structure of it. Any oldfags know how they'd split the thing up?
Didnt work on /vr/ is not going to work on fucking /v/
fuck you niggers, its an amazing idea.
Goldman give you a lot of gold, but they have a small chance of appearing. Even though I don't like using save states, you can use them to grind for them without dieing every two seconds and really save you a lot of time grinding for gold for later items.
You won't see them for a long time though and I'm not going to tell you where they are at because exploration is apart of the fun in Dragon Quest 1.
>>341733409
I wouldn't say they are hard to find. Once you know where they are you can easily farm them for the gold needed to upgrade your gear.
The exploration in DQ1 is one of the best but sucks how 90% of your time is grinding. Either for money for new gear or levels to live in the next area.
>>341731724
But DQ1 is straightforward and easy.
>>341733409
There's a certain area that they appear pretty regularly. If you're leveled enough, you can grind with out a save state.
>>341733409
goldman haunts the mountains of the upper-right "continent" of the map, if i recall.
>>341733765
Phantasy Star 1? FF1?
Don't buy the magic armor and buy the flame sword if you don't want to have trouble with a certain dungeon in the game.
Don't forget to buy a few torches before investigating a dungeon.
>>341733992last time I played it they was in the lower right and near that one desert area, but then again I played the SNES version.
If you want the real experience, play the NES version. The SNES / GBA version is easy mode.
>>341732807
Except there's people on all ends of the spectrum here. (In every sense) Some would literally play 20 hours a day until they crushed the game utterly, whereas some people only get several hours a week to play and it would take them a month to clock as much playtime as turboneet does in a single day.
There's no way to pull this off with this board and video games.
Stock up on items that give you health, it's a big bad world out there.
Remember that crossing a bridge makes the enemies you'll face more powerful.
Don't walk in the purple goo, it hurts you.
>>341731724
>needing tips to beat literally the simplest RPG of all time
Grind a lot, not too much though the limit is lv30
In cave to the east of Tantegel (that is in the mountains on the other side). There is a gold chest with around 120 gold pieces (it varies). You can go in get the gold, leave, and come back in and get more gold. It takes a little time but its a pretty good place to build up experience points in the beginning of the game and is a limitless supply of money.
Dead thread. Good try OP, but it seems no one cares :(
>>341734429
Just because some finish early doesn't mean it'll be ruined for everyone else. There will still be discussion, people will still find and bring up interesting shit no one thought to look for.
Seriously this board is such shit, Let's actually play games instead of just hating them.
I just started Dragon Warrior 1.
Who else is going to play with me? Can we do this?
>>341735607
>playing the NES version
wew lad
>>341735685
>playing the easier versions
wew lad
>>341735304
It made it half jokingly but people are actually leaving well thought out tips and think it's a good idea.
Now I feel obliged to play the game.
>>341735607
I'm gonna do it, getting the NES version as well, that's probably the purest way to go about it.
>>341735838
It'd be interesting if anons streamed their playthroughs, though I guess that would descend into people only being interested in any streamwhores or trapfags that decide to take part.

>>341733119
I don't remember how it works, but it apparently exists in the gbc re-release so it must have been intentional.
And we're off
OP try /vr/ instead, it is much slower and the thread might actually stay alive.
The cave in the middle of the first island part of the word, the one just west of the castle have nothing of use in it. In fact the belt item is cursed and the only way to remove it is by visiting the town next the to castle, beside the very slight detour it doesn't do anything beyond that.
Dragon Scale I believe it was call give minor defense boost if you simply have one. Getting more than one is pointless though.
Guy in the castle going to the right path as soon you enter will flash the screen and may seemingly do nothing but he actually recover your MP for free. You may had forgotten about him before you notice what he does.
There is no Erdrick's Shield item in the game.
Every tile of the game is there for a reason. If you don't leave town right away but instead stand outside of the town by one tile then you most likely are meant to walk around the outer wall. This is how you find keys and a plot item.
>>341735685

prepare to die
>>341736513
What's the difference with red slimes? Do they have fire magic?
>>341736513
Encounter rate goes Planes>Forests>Mountains
Where Planes has the lowest encounter rate and Mountains has the highest. Also don't go to the south mountains until you are level 3 or so because there's enemies that can kill you easily there.
>>341736642
Red Slimes (renamed She-Slimes) gives slightly more EXP and Gold (from 1 exp and 1 gold to 2 exp and 2 Gold I think). They might have more health but it's too small to make any real difference.
>>341736642
red slimes are slightly stronger than slimes but not much of a difference to really notice, but they give 1 xp more
>>341736245
I wonder how many polygons are in this scene.
What's the difficulty like in comparison to V?
>>341736251
Please don't tell me plot related items are where you would normally find an Ultra Ball.
One thing that's always triggered me with DQ games, is every time you save it asks you if you want to quit to the title screen. It's like the earliest form of "remember to take a break between sessions!"
>>341737004
1 is short and easy. You may need to grind a bit, but it's not hard at all.
>>341737051
But thou must!
>>341736328
What's a ball of light? Where did it come from? Who else is after it?
5 minutes in and Dragon Quest is giving off a deeper plot that it's letting on.
>>341737056
I love it makes me feel secure when I save then quit to title before turning it off
Reminder: Once you rescue the princess at the end, don't take her back to the castle right away. Take her with you and carry her into battle on your shoulders against the final boss, like any real man would do.
If you don't do this you're playing DQ wrong
>>341737056
Wasn't it added so people could hold down reset before powering down? People would feel safer resetting on the title screen.
I've honestly never beaten this game, I think I played the gameboy remake of 1+2, but I stuck to the multi party one.
Also
>putting on cursed item
>get thrown out of town because cursed
>>341737056
I like it. Saving is your chance to relax and take a break if you want it. Elsewhere, you can't save and have to dedicate yourself to beating the area.
Seeing the option just relieves a bit of pressure.
>>341737056
They should implement this with /v/.

This community is cancer. Fuck it. I'd be alright with a dedicated stream, but stream threads tend to get deleted. A group playthrough is best done with a smaller group.
>not playing the superior and definitive SNES versions of 1-3
You already suck at this OP.
>>341737605
getting fucked by bats, still level 1. Trying to locate that chest the other anon mentioned. I assume its past that desert area on the right.
>>341737710
OP should have linked the version he wants us to play.
>>341737349
Only issue with this is that you basically prevent yourself from saving the game. Then again I assume people are playing on an emulator (if at all) on this thread so whatever.
I believe at least one of the remake added a special ending if you do so.
>>341737653
Things like this are ok on /v/ until THAT ONE KID throws a temper tantrum because he doesn't "get it" and tells his mom
DQ2 would be more way interesting since is so open
>>341737863
DQ10 is more open than DQ2
>>341737826
>saving before final boss
Way to kill any excitement and tension. Might as well go play Last of Us instead.
Was not expecting map hazards to kill me.
this is my first dragon warrior game but i went up north and fought some mage and he killed me in two hits, am i supposed to stay around town and get stronger? I can't wander?
>>341738015
Well you can save the princess extremely early. I think you can save her easily before you even reach the town selling the best shield. It might be a few hours before you actually fight the final boss from that point.
Also just remember another tip. Your character name effect your starting stats and in the long run what you will end up with. There are some names simply being better than others. I recall having names like Dark or Evil is actually better than having the name Hero funny enough.
>>341737349
Also take her to the first town and talk to the whore to get yourself a threeway going on in the inn.
>>341738231
You gotta grind. Dragon Warrior started the whole grinding for levels in video games and pretty much made the term grinding itself a thing.
If you want an equally as old game but without the grinding then try the Ultima series. In fact some of the games kinda punish you for grinding.
protip, get healmore before even thinking of beating the final boss
>>341738231
DQ games won't hold your hand at all, what you need to do is grind up some levels, then make progress. Rinse and repeat this through the whole game, you can usually tell by how much damage the enemies are doing that you should be a higher level. If you manage to get into a higher-level area, just attempt to Run/Flee.
I've never played the NES version of Dragon Quest, but I might as well play with you anons.
I just beat this for the first time a few days ago. Now I'm on II and it's a struggle to get through.
still getting fucked by everything, Do I just kill slimes to start and use the inn? or is there better gold/EXP somewhere early. Can't afford copper sword.
>>341738572
Hydlide did it earlier and Im sure that wasnt the first either
Time to grind to level 2 all over again with NES graphics.
>>341737979
How is DQX by the way?
Information on it is so scarce.
>>341738829
Wait until around level 4 before you buy anything.
More difficult enemies will give you more EXP and Gold.
Wow, torches do nearly dick all in this game.
>>341738881
True but Dragon Warrior kinda made it popular. It is kinda the game that standardize RPGs. It is kinda like WoW to MMOs in the sense that it wasn't the first, it was just the thing that may as well been the first.
>>341738665
2's only real issue is your party members start at level 1 when they join you and even when they are near your level they are squishy as fuck. And that once you get the boat you have no idea what to really do. The crests are so annoyingly hidden (even one where you need to go into the final cave to get) that you spend hours just wondering searching every square tile looking for them. It's really the only DQ game I say read a FAQ on and get a map.
>>341739059
It's great, but unplayable and unenjoyable unless you know Japanese.
>>341734670
After trying Phantasy Star I recently holy fuck am I glad they did this in DQ1.
>>341738665
2 is honestly the worst in the series. It's got lots of small issues that make it a slog at times.
>>341738572
That's the thing about DQ so many people fail to realize: it's not supposed to be a linear adventure like FF or some modern RPGs. You're supposed to go out and explore new areas and go off the standard path looking for treasure and shit.
If you're actually exploring the world and not just going from point a to point b constantly, then you'll naturally be pretty much at a safe level for stuff and need to grind very little. Even then the grind is only really relevant in the first 2. From 3 on if you need to grind you're doing something wrong and not exploring enough.
>>341739083
You will get spell call Radiant that is much better. I actually remember looking that word up in a dictionary as a kid to find out what the hell it did.
>>341735685
It always struck me how much better the localisation was for DQ1 than for a lot of later JRPGs to be honest, I don't know how faithful it is but at least the dialogue isn't Zelda I-tier like in games like FFI.
>>341739083
You get a spell Radiant that I think doubles that. It's honestly not that bad since the dungeons are pretty small and there's not that many dead ends where you can get stuck.
How the fuck do I nearly die to a slime, Jesus. The NES version is already kicking my ass.
>>341739318
>How do I nearly die to a Tier-2 Slime at Level 1?
Come on now, it's not that hard to figure out.
The cave to the east leading you to the town with the keys. A tip to quickly go through it, just follow the west wall downward. It is pretty much as linear as it gets in terms of DW caves. The princess is on the lower right of the same cave by the way. If you want to do this >>341737349 but save the legit way then avoid it for a while.
>>341739314
I remember FF Legend 2 had a similar dungeon where everything is blindingly white. You're supposed to go get a magi called 'true-eye' to make your way through the cave. But due to that bumping against walls sound I would just do it blind with trial and error.
>>341739307
>>341739307
Guess who localized DQ1Iwata
>>341737349
>mfw saved the princess before i even reached the golem
No wonder the dragon was so challenging.
If you're starting out, the club is the best starting weapon in terms of price-power efficiency.
Copper sword is far better but requires far more grinding
>>341739575
>>341739627
That is what I always did.
>>341739575
Kinda. He helped programmed the localization version. Which I'm guessing meant he was able to turn DQ1 looking like DQ3. Since DQ1 Japanese looked BAD. With the Hero only facing one way and you have to use the directional pad to tell him where to face to talk to someone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5dalWuTitE
>>341739318
Always have a medical herb (forgot what they call in DQ1 since a lot of names are weird in that one like Fire is Hurt) on you. To help save MP and one of those just in case moments.
I miss Radiant already
>>341740123
>In the first cave at level 1
I mean yeah there's no enemy encounters in there but there's ghosts around it which can fuck your shit up.
>>341740123
What are you meant to map this shit out?
How big are these dungeons?
I miss Final Fantasy already.
>>341740010
Unfortunately it created the problem of having to face the NPCs you have to talk to, giving them another chance to move out of your way, I prefer the famicom version because of this.
I surprise I remember the dungeon layout that easily.
>>341740214
I know, I just wanted to get this item first for the sake of having it and then go back to grind. I won't lost too much gold if I die anyway.
Does crit chance go up the bigger the level difference between you and a monster? I notice i'm getting crits like crazy on slimes.
>>341740372
I wandered in there and found it too, was expecting to get fucked by battles but didn't have any. I didn't know if I needed it or anything.
What do you imagine the hurt spell does?
How does it actually hurt the monsters?
>>341740617
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ5qVWpD4gA
>>341740298
Graph paper. Horii was a giant Wizardry fan and that was the ultimate graph paper game. But he abandoned it right away in DQ2.
>>341740336
Eh I liked the nicer graphics myself. It doesn't get too annoying personally since most NPC seem to not get too annoying moving around.
>>341740372
>>341740495
It's only there for story. Basically "you are my descendant so have an adventure and save the day"
>>341737863
Since I beat 1 the other day I'm playing through II right now. I was kind of lost on where to go for a while so I'm probably a bit over leveled.
Main guy is 16, Karl is 14 and Fran is 10.
Well OP, since you brought it up, I will go into my backlog and finally start this series.
This seems to be a fan translation of the SNES DQ1+2 bundle. Wish me luck
First step I took outside and the Ghost killed me with 2 hits, kek. I can probably grind back my gold in a few minutes.
>>341740617
It's a fireball so it probably burns the shit out of the monsters.
>>341740790
Look up where to find the crests or you likely wont find them
The name of your companions is random so dont believe those are their canon names.
>>341740930
I remember hearing that their names are selected at random using your name somehow.
I got the boat and I think I'm just gonna sail around for a while and see where it takes me.
>>341740874
Told you not to go there. Did you at least buy the Dragon Scale before dying?
Gotta sleep for work tonight, but i'm definitely interested in continuing with this since I've never beaten it, especially the NES version. I'll be checking /v/, /vr/ and /vg/ for 'Dragon warrior' or DQ1 tomorrow. Don't let me down anons. make sure this keeps going.
>>341741048
>I got the boat
Thats exactly when the game really opens up you can suddenly go everywhere
How was the GBC port of 3? I replayed 1 and 2 SNES awhile back and just finished 4 on my 3DS. I might put the gbc version of 3 on my 3DS to replay since I can't get it to emulate SNES well.
>>341741048
As been talked about now you are looking for the Crests. And at first its fun but soon you realized just how much of a fucker Horii was. Some of them are just plan annoying to find. You will find a whistle that will help you but searching for it is still a pain in the ass to do.
>>341741168
It feels really nice. I like being able to get lost like that.
>>341741376
How many crests are there?
Also, I've wondered about how your stat growths are determined. Is there some sort of calculator for that?
>>341741352
Localization is different so story wise it might feel a bit confusing. Since it's all references each other in some way. So playing a different localization really feels weird. GBC is just the SNES just on the GBC. I think there's an extra dungeon that needs monster medals (get them randomly after killing the enemy) but that's about it.
Oh shit.
>>341741061
I tried to go back to grind, so no I didn't get the Dragon Scale. I'll probably die if I tried to go there to buy it anyway considering running can only work for so long.
>>341741657

>>341741765

>>341741650
Maybe I'll just do 5 and 6 again then go back and do 1-3 gbc versions.
Really just bidding time until September 16
>>341742140
What's fucked is that in the next 2-3 months there's like 6 games I really want to play. And the last 5 months I didn't really have much to play, Nintendo really need to plan these releases better man.
I'm surprised about how little encounters I got and how easily I ran away from shit.
Hot tip: grind.
Trick: grind more.
>>341733119
You get 8 characters and it just throws them through an algorythm and poops out stats. I don't know.
I used 'THE HERO' as my name last time and got pretty poor stats.
>>341736976
You can't be serious. In case you are, there are zero polygons, you oaf. It's two dimensional, why would there be polygons?
AAAAAA feed me all the bait you have!
>>341742798
The problem is that the only real soon stat is Strength. HP is nice but it's really better to kill them faster than live longer. The worse stat is MP since soon you will only be using MP for Radiant, Repel and maybe Healmore if you don't have an herb on you.
Here you go girls, here are some rearranged tunes.

>>341741061

What does the dragon scale even do? I haven't played this game since I was a kid.
>>341743428
That's just hurtful. How would you like it if somebody called you an American.
>>341744076
Better than being called Canadian or European.
>>341744007
Boosts your defense a little. It's just an accessory like a ring or something.
Speaking of, the War Ring is neat. It might be called Warrior Ring in the NES version.
>>341744007
Adds 2 defense if I remember right. Not much but any bit helps. Especially at the start when enemies hit hard and you don't have a lot of health.
>>341744224
Doesn't it do nothing? I think I remember programmers went into the file and found it didn't do anything in the game.
>>341744163
Ive never seen the word european used as an insult
Are the android ports ok?
I really wish I got the Club, but I'll get a weapon next time. At least I have plenty of defense.
>>341744325
It does do something but it's ultimately useless. All it does is do a check to see if you're wearing it. One NPC in one town, the one with the oracle that knows you're Loto's descendant, will say that even a warrior or whatever should wear a ring. But if you have the ring equipped he says "You're wearing a ring? Aren't you embarrassed?" or something like that.
In the GBC version anyway. Not sure about the others.
>>341744427
No. Emulate the SNES versions for 1-3
>>341744464
Always go with weapons first.
>>341744464
Cllub to sword is the best way to go I found. Stick isn't worth it for the cost.
>>341744427
Ratio is FUCKED and they have sparkles where "hidden" items are which is nice for something like DQ2 but it fucks DQ1 since you lose exploring and finding magical items that NPC talks about like the Flute.
>>341744792
Ratio of what?
>>341744914
aspect ratio as evident by his picture of course
>>341744914
Look at the picture. Everything is squished because its a port of a phone version with a different dimension. Heard DQ3 fix it but it has other issues like all the DQ mobile ports.
>>341744792
Did they use those sprites for anything besides that shitty port? They look so damn great.

Don't know. Just know the phone version was made in early 2000's around the time of the GBC ports and DQ7. Enix didn't watch over them so that's why they are so shitty. Horii and the rest of Enix love their series so them they are personally involved with something it's golden.

Yes, it's not even an RNG type thing you could accidentally win at some point, you are genuinely fucked and stand no chance.
>>341747604
>Level 5
Oh shit nigger what are you doing. You shouldn't fight that guy till you're like Level 10 at the very least.
>>341744464
I can't imagine what was running through your mind when you thought it would be a clever idea to run about punching slimes instead of using at least a pointy stick. Upping your defence is pointless if you leave the monsters alive to hit you more times.
>>341747604
How did you even get there without getting raped by the local enemies?
>>341748012
I kept running, I didn't realize the dragon would fight me
>>341745914
Maybe in your girly games, m8. Not in this.
Is the Dragon the final boss?
>>341747908
I got a Club the first time on my run of DQ1, so I went for a Small Shield and I will never do it a fucking gain. At least I slaughtered enough ghosts to get a Club now.
>>341748208
Yeah, he isn't all that hard at least in the SNES port.
>>341748208
Why do you think it's called "DRAGON Quest"?
>>341748208
No, it's a regular monster used early to function as a boss fight at low levels.
There's a ton more just like him in and outside the Dragon Lord's castle. (They don't all drop princesses, unfortunately)
>>341748208
the green dragon whwere you rescue the princess is pretty early in the game
why is this game so god damn hard?
Is it wrong that this is one of my favorite in the franchise along with 4, 5 and 8?
>>341749497
Thou are a masochist.

>>341749453
Reading this makes me laugh.
The text is so blatant.
>>341749453
your're level 4 trying to fight a demon knight
the way you play this game is you level up and get enough money to buy good weapons and armor and then grind up to be able to get to the next area without getting ded so you can get to the town and buy better weapons and armor
you just puts around in one area leveling up until you are strong enough for the tougher area and then fuck around in there until you are strong enough for the next area and then fuck about in there and eventually you get to the end
the game is honestly a boring grindfest
I await the day /v/ does a DQ3 run
all jester team, fuck dammit
>>341750723
I did that once. It was hard as fuck up until you get to Dharma Shrine and turn them into sages.
>>341750723
Did you know: Dragon Quest III actually has a SNES remake and no one has mentioned this in the lifetime of this board?
>>341751002
>>341744643
>Emulate the SNES versions for 1-3
But they did
The SNES remakes are shit because they dumb the game down. I thought /v/ was into hardcore demon souls shit, but compare DW2 NES to DW2 SNES. The NES version is hard as tits.
tips and tricks:
buy all the best armor and weapons in town as soon as you can, this means grinding
flute puts the golem to sleep, gold golems give the most gold out of any enemy
erdriks armor is in that town that was destroyed you need to search a particular tile
some other piece of erdriks is hidden in a swamp that looks like a sideways 8 in the overworld
grind, grind, grind
attack is 99% of the time better than attack spells, just save magic for heals
wolves are weak to sleep
>>341751316
What kind of skill is involved in grinding and simple menu based RPG combat?

Will always be the best overworld theme
Quick post your DQ stuff
>>341752589
Never played DQ, but I enjoyed the FF3 remake on the DS. Any DQ game similar to that?
>>341752589
Ha... Let me just get it out...

DQ VII on the 3DS

u are right other guy is shit posting
>>341752736
Dragon Quest 3, 6, 7 or 9
I recommend you 9 first since it's easy and simple, THEN you play 3
>>341752589
Sadly my NES games are in my basement storage area.
But I have DQ1-4 NES, 1-3 GBC, Monster 1 and 2, DQ7 PSX, DQ8, DQ4-6 and 9 DS, Joker 1 and Rocket Slime.
Really should learn moon but I feel I'm too old right now to study a new language just for Dragon Quest. Since its really the only real major series I care about that's mostly Japan only.
I really want to get Builders but I don't have a PS4. Was planning on getting it but since the Neo is coming out next year I might as well wait for it.
>>341734429
There are plenty of NEETs on here that only play vidya all day that suck and still don't make as much progress in a week as a wage man.
>>341752853
>>341752938
So I don't need to worry about playing in release or chronological order? So I should go 9, 3, 6, 7?
>>341753193
Not really. The first 3 games are part of a set and are loosely related. 4-6 are the same way. Doesn't really matter if you play in order
>>341753193
yeah, that sounds about right
the only games related in terms of story are 1 to 3 and 4 to 6, so consider playing 1 to 3 when you're done with 9
Fucking finally.
>>341753193
Skip 7 man, worst of the series. 9 is a great game though and fine as a starting point. 3 is really good too.
a neighboring castle already? i wanna go there
>>341753463
>7 is the worse
>9 is a good starting point
The fuck are you talking about?
>>341753463
>Skip 7 man, worst of the series
7 is by no means the worst. It's simply the most tedious. The 3DS remake fixes the worst parts of the PS1 version.
>>341753710
He's shitposting.
>>341753295
>>341753376
Thanks, I'll start with 9 then go 1, 3, 6, 7. Looking forward to it, cheers.
Any game genie codes so I can power up faster?
>all these people incapable of playing a nearly 30 year old game
I'm actually shocked. I guess, looking back on it, there were some things you had to learn to play the game. On the other hand, I'm impress at just how some people like >>341749453 managed to mean such a tough enemy as such a low level.
>>341753635
You'll be going there soon enough.
Grab all the treasure in the starting castle. Visit the village. Pick up a Copper Sword and whatever armor you can. Head back to the inn when HP is low. Continue until Level 3, when you get the Heal spell and can adventure further.

HERO
ENIX
HEAL

HURT
EVIL

there are a few more, I forget them.
>>341754339
LOTO perhaps?
>>341752589
I remember these cunts have a lot of defense, just a tip for anyone playing.
>>341754062
Winners don't cheat anon.GLSPOTPE - 60 EXP for defeating Slimes.

Forgot pic related
Actually I might play DQ1 again. Since builders is all about rebuilding the world of DQ1 it most likely has tons of references to DQ1. I wonder how different the mobile is from the NES. Know they keep the names of the towns and Erdrick. Really don't want to fucking play the mobile version if I can just play the NES version.
We should all add each other on skype or create a steam group. This is fun
Dead thread. So long guys.
>>341755314
I think that'd be neat.
