Completion bonuses
When you complete the first 10levels and the Demon
Lord, save and continue. Levels 11 to 100 are now unlocked. This
basically repeats the first 10 levels until 100, but with stronger
enemies and powered-up items. The new items are mixed about 50%
with the old versions. You will still find things that were in
the beginning of the game. The only changes in town are at the
Guild where the quests have included all the monsters and new
levels. Be prepared to see quests for enemies around level 800,
and area searches around level 80 and up. Finding one appropriate
to you may be difficult. To begin, you will only have access to
levels 1 to 11, and after each 10 it repeats. Other than that,
there does not seem to be anything new besides the items. All
the Bosses, enemies, and levels still look the same, with the
same requirements.
Easy money
Use the following trick to acquire an endless amount
of money with some patience. Do the following at the start of
a new game before you make the actual five or so characters that
you actually want to play with. The game allows you create up
to twenty characters. Five can be in your active party. You can
have the game automatically create characters for you -- keep
pressing the button and it will randomly create characters and
add them to the registry. All the new characters begin with basic
equipment, weak armor, boots, head pieces, and a particular weapon
according to their class. After the registry is full (the game
will inform you that no more new characters can be created), you
can view all of the characters in the registry's equipment. Here,
you can remove all their items and stockpile them. You can then
go to the trade booth and sell all the equipment. Since the game
has weight requirements that determine how much your party can
carry, use the stripped players to maximize your carrying capacity
and minimize your trips to the trade booth. When all the automatically
created characters' belongings are sold, delete them from the
registry and repeat the process. This is a good way to get newly
created characters the best gear in the shop immediately, ceause
the only way to make money in the game is to sell items that you
found in the dungeon, or take on jobs. It is possible to make
30,000g in an hour and a half with this trick.
Combos
To get combos, attack with weapons and spells of the
same property. For example, have a caster use an elemental spell
such as one of the fire ones that attack one opponent. Then, make
sure a character is equipped with an elemental weapon such as
a sword or knuckle with the same type. You can usually tell what
type an item is by the name or by the resistance it gives. For
example, fire resistance for a fire weapon. If you use both attacks
at the same time, it has a random chance for the two characters
to do a single attack, which does five to six times the damage
compared to the non-combo regular damage. This works best on Bosses.
Rare items
Compete in the Trial Battles to win rare items. You
will receive one rare item for every ten battles you win. The
best area for items is level 8 and each version until 98. Here,
you can find over 70 items each time, and since the area is large
and open, you can complete it with only twenty to thirty battles
if you are good at dodging.
Traps
Always have one character with a high Trap Disarm ability.
It can be frustrating clearing five areas almost getting to the
Boss, then having a trapped chest send your entire party back
to the surface.
Green rooms
Avoid the green rooms with the round computer inside.
Once you are past level 5, the advantages they may provide are
not worth the risk. The positive effects they give are few and
far between the negative effects.
Faster battles
Turn the battle speed to maximum, and turn off battle
animations. This will make most fights that usually last a few
minutes end in about ten seconds. Only do this if you are quite
strong and do not really care about strategy, but want to save
time.
Glitch: Game freeze
The game seems to have a problem with its pause feature.
It frequently locks up after pausing for more then ten seconds.
This seems to happen ant random. Try to pause as infrequently
as possible, or when you go between floors so the autosave kicks
in.
