A Valley Without Wind 1 & 2 / I'm not doing this right, am I?
« on: February 19, 2012, 11:24:26 AM »
So my OCD kicked in pretty decently when I first started the game and I've only ever visited one area away from my starting city. I just keep going deeper in the caverns. I only have been able to complete one mission in this area so I've pretty much just been visiting every single building and cavern I can get into. Reaching 100% visited becomes an obsession. Finding my way to the bottom is an obsession. Now I'm finding myself underpowered fighting tier 5 mobs, especially bosses. This raises a few questions:
- How deep do caverns typically run? I think I'm into my fourth or fifth "set" in this area. Boss fights at this point are very hard which I think is a combination of not leveling up my city and not learning new spells.
- Inability to learn new spells is another problem. I've collected so much stuff throughout these caverns that I'm really surprised that I can't craft a single spell. I was surprised to see the start guide on this forum saying that after the tutorial you should be able to craft a throw stone spell from jade that you have mined. Maybe I missed the tutorial gems but I have collected a lot in the area I'm in that it feels odd that I'm not able to craft anything. I have 4 jades and 114 sapphires when I look at settlement stockpile.
- Would I be better off finishing missions instead of "dungeon diving"? I've sunk a lot of time into just exploring and fighting.
Sorry if I'm not using the terminology right. I'm loving the game but I have reached that point where I know that there is a lot more I can be doing in game to make it interesting.
Thanks!
