WoR Items and misc comments... [Spoilers]

8 posts in this topic

OK, hats off to BTB and the crew. This is the most fun I've had with a jRPG ever, and I've put 250 hours into Fire Emblem 3 Houses. The balance is superb and I LOVE how getting a single piece of equip makes new builds possible. Also how there's a little "tuning" to make apparently weaker characters more useful (like Relm's spell selection is so-so but the Monet brush gives her a little more utility) 

Ya'll who worked on this are legitimate game designers and craftspeople who deserve accolades. 

A few quick Q's for 2.0:

(I'm doing the Fanatic's Tower now in WoR and I think I've done everywhere else)

1. Where is the item to enable Shock for Celes? 

2. Where are Setzer's Loaded Dice? I only have 3 casino weapons for him and TBH they seem pretty underpowered. I really like using him in combat because I think the idea of random damage is kind of fun, but my reflexes SUCK for Slots (I am old)

3. Which Rages/Blitzes/Tools are affected by back row restrictions? I have the feeling say, Pummel is, but Aurabolt is not? I read the README and it says in general any direct attack or "one on one" has a damage reduc, but I'm not sure where the line is drawn.

4. I feel like I only have 4 characters at level 30-33 after Fanatic's Tower, and the dragons wipe the floor with me. Am I missing content or is there somewhere to go to get up to lv 40?

5. I feel spells like Sap, Rasp, Raze, etc don't really "do much" in the big scheme of things. I guess some of them work on bosses but the damage is small beans. 

6. Same for "Stop" or "Mute". They don't work on bosses and they don't help with crowd control, and the turn I spend casting it could be used to do damage instead and kill the offending party.  Am I missing the point?

7. It would be nice to have 1 more base element in Lores/Rages (Fire/Ice/Bolt) but I guess that's covered by others. 

8. Illuminos is awesome and a lot of fun. Celes is my valkyrie revenge goddess. 

9. Uh, are "Ice" and "Water" the same element? I'm pedantic. 

Also, I kind of love that the Fanatic's Tower requires a radically different approach because weapons don't hit and MDEF is all that matters (without black belt) or there's consequences to them. I wish more was like that!

Spoiler

You get it completing the "Leo's spirits" sidequest. In case you don't know how, you have to get it from a South Figaro merchant and then pour it on his grave.

If you mean his Fixed Dice, they are at Kefka Tower. I have mixed feelings about those, because at the same time I feel like we get them too late, but that they are too overpowered for the rest of the game.

IIRC the row only affects the physical blitzes and Aurabolt. The rest isn't affected. As for the tools, only Drill and Chainsaw are affected. With rages you can probably follow the rule that if it deals physical damage, it is affected, so stamina rages are clear.

Your current level range is intended as endgame levels. Going further is supposedly unnecessary and breaks the game (I wouldn't know, since I never got past that). I suggest you go somewhere and level the others at least to 30, or Kefka Tower will give you trouble. As for the dragons, you can get around them well by learning their patterns and abusing weaknesses.

MP draining spells are meant as undead killers, although I only ever use mindblow. As for sap, it's mostly useful on bosses, as almost none of them are immune to it, and while the damage isn't much it does add up on longer battles.

In my opinion they are niche spells. They rock in some game areas (like Phoenix Cave, IIRC) and suck on others. You'd have to plan for those beforehand.

Nope.

A few other Q's.

Where are...

1. Fake Moustache? 

2. Skull Cap?

3. Any spears better than Partisan? Where? 

3. Is there a Soul Box / Gem Box / Dragon Hide / Mirage Vest outside the Coliseum?

4. Is the best place to level up in that dino forest north of the Veldt? 

5. Any rare Lores in WoR I may not have thought to grab from this list? <3

6. What's the purpose of the Ghost Ring? I guess being a Zombie means you can't die?

7. What stats influence Shock damage? 

Ya'll are the besttt

I recently got to the WoR and had a question. Is it possible to get a second bone club?

I see that Colosseum had some trades for it in some version of the game but it doesn't seem like I can acquire a second one.

My concern is I'd really like to have two because I've been using Gau and Umaro in the same party. Ideally I'd like for both to be able to have it but if not it's not a huge deal.

There is one club in a chest on Umaro's cave, and he comes equipped with another.
