In the Discord, there’s a command we use: !dys. It basically means “double your stats”. If there’s a problem, any problem (whether it’s combat or lifeskills or whatever), it can usually be solved by doubling your stats. By grinding more. “Double your stats, halve your problems.” If you’re fighting a boss and it chunks your hp to -100 (and obviously you die)? (This can happen in the infinitely-scaling Void.) Just keep grinding and double your stats to the point where your hp will now stay positive even after that chunk.

So the bump martial artist from earlier? His only problem was he didn’t !dys enough. He could’ve approached One Punch Man territory if he really wanted to lol. And as for me, for example? I’m a Hillfolk (dwarven) Thief. And I dual-wield a short sword with a mace. Because it lets me fight like the Witch-king of Angmar (from The Lord of the Rings). Lol. And aside from those two main weapons, I primarily cast poison/darkness/chaos spells (mainly because of my domains, unfortunately), with 95% of the offensive spells I use being poison arrow and the other 5% being chaos bolt (for the penetrating cc). I also supplement all of this with debuffs, so for elite monsters or bosses, I usually give them the whole slew of debuffs first (Silence, Weakness, Elemental Scar, Bane, Slow) before whacking them with my short sword + mace and spamming poison arrow + chaos bolt.

And I guess 1% of the time, I use my crossbow because following Lulwy gives me such a massive boost to my Crossbow (and Bow) skills that it’s ''still'' higher level than my Short Sword and Mace skills. (And I give all of my good bows to my Black Angel, which leaves me with the crossbow. xd)


Any build can and will work (probably.) The only question is, are you willing to put in the work and !dys?

^ That lich basically destroyed my little girl’s weapon, her [0,18] ring (so -18 PV yikes), and then my Black Cat’s food lol. By the way, after this happened, I’ve since made sure that my allies and I have never been caught without a blanket ever again.


But I’ll provide more info about bandages/blankets later in the '''“Nefia checklist”''' section.

^ Just to clarify, this Hot guy ''didn’t'' explode and just died normally because I managed to stick the “Wet” status onto him. Pretty great right?


Also obviously, fire/cold spells will work too (the best option, actually), but what if you’re unlucky and you run out of spell stock for them (and haven’t found any spellbooks to replenish them)? The canes only take up two inventory slots at most and are super light so it can’t hurt to leave them there in case of an emergency and you have no fire/cold spells or throwable potions.

This goes back to what I was saying earlier about “gifting” food to allies though (double-clicking them in my inventory to “grab” them, walking up next to an ally, and “Gifting” the food to them via wheel-click/M3) rather than just dropping it in their inventory. Because certain allies have foods they’ll prefer, and gifting it to them gives you that boost of affinity if it’s their favorite. Just dropping it in their inventory won’t give you that, and it also hurts my RP heart. orz

As seen here, after I grew the base mushroom seeds and reaped them after they were fully grown, I received a +1 mushroom seed with Dexterity potential. After planting ''that'' seed, I can now harvest (with an axe) a +1 mushroom product with Dexterity potential.

The basic idea with farming is that you’re completely subject to RNG while you’re trying to get your base seed to become +1 in a random potential “line”. Once that potential line’s been determined though, you’re set. From that point on, you can just keep reaping, harvesting, replanting, etc. that seed and it’ll eventually level up based on your Farming skill.

When reaping seeds, you can also have a chance of getting ''multiple'' seeds. This means that you can reap one less for its seed, and instead ''harvest'' it for its crop product. So you saw how I got two +1 mushroom seeds? That’s 2 from that 1 crop, meaning you can now have two +1 Dexterity potential mushrooms. This eventually levels up to where your seeds (and subsequent mushroom crop) will have much, much higher attribute potentials.
Since the potential lines are RNG though, it may take a lot of base seed reaps before you get into the line you want (whether that’s strength, dexterity, magic, etc.).

When reaping for seeds, you can also have a chance of getting ''multiple'' seeds. This means that you can ''reap one less crop'' for its seed, and instead ''harvest'' it for its crop product. So you saw how I got two +1 mushroom seeds? That’s 2 from that 1 crop, meaning I now have two +1 Dexterity potential mushrooms. A good rule of thumb is that you want to generally grow double of whatever crop you want; half of them you’ll reap with your sickle (and generally RNG’s favorable enough that you get enough seeds to replant ''everything''). With the other half, you’ll harvest with your axe for the crop product. But also, back to the seed levels too. The +1 seeds right? As I level up my Farming skill further, when I’m reaping half my crops for seeds, sometimes they’ll randomly level up (to +2). This will repeat and eventually my seeds (and subsequent mushroom crop) will have much, much higher attribute potentials. And for example, this is a mushroom I harvested after planting a +29 seed.

Some of them give you certain stats in exchange for a significant loss in another stat, while some just straight-up subtract stats, and yet others change your gameplay and make you play around them. And finally, some make you unable to wear certain gear with the removal of an equipment slot (at least until the disease is cured). The dangerous thing about this latter type of disease is that if you’re wearing something in that equipment slot and then the slot gets removed, the corresponding piece of equipment is sent back into your inventory. If it catches you while you’re unaware and you’re not paying attention, you can accidentally ship or sell the equipment. And it’ll be permanently gone.

So honestly, just mark everything you don’t want to accidentally lose as “important”.
