Feel free to report anything you’ve noticed, however trivial.

Don’t make things up.

Don’t assume others are lying.

If possible, include a screenshot as proof.

788: Heartman

Aaahhh!

What the heck was that video?!

✦ ✦ ✦

789: Formaggio

It’s too much! I’ve got goose bumps! Everyone was going all out!

The part at the end when the knights on horseback went in for that suicide mission brought me to tears!

Dark Knight! I’ll be a little nicer to you from now on!

✦ ✦ ✦

790: Hendrickson

The part where the penguin gave a thumbs-up hit me hard!

With the sea being discovered, I bet more people will start looking for penguins.

Jeez, that video was so good.

✦ ✦ ✦

791: Hiruma

That video even got me a little choked up! Those special attacks were amazing.

I used to think Holland was like a “hero (lol),” but maybe I’ll start treating him as a “hero (of light).”

✦ ✦ ✦

792: Hamakaze

Yokai also had their moment in that fight!

BTW, I was a big fan of the part where Nyamun-chan died. I can’t believe I was so moved by that... It’s not fair! Singing is cheating!

✦ ✦ ✦

793: Heartman

It looks like the Quick-Eared Cats mashed up a bunch of different videos to make that one video, but is it true they didn’t hide anything?

✦ ✦ ✦

794: Hendrickson

Based on what the Cats said, yeah. In fact, not only did the video reveal a bunch of new information, but it pretty much showed everything you need to do to beat the raid boss.

✦ ✦ ✦

795: Hiruma

The importance of revive potions, special attacks, traps, poison, the boss’s attack patterns, and how to finish it off.

That information alone is plenty valuable.

✦ ✦ ✦

796: Formaggio

There were even some things that aren’t normally in the spotlight that got a lot of attention, like spellbooks, horses, and music.

✦ ✦ ✦

797: Hamakaze

And yokai! Yokai played a huge part too!

Thank you, Silver-Haired!

✦ ✦ ✦

798: Hiruma

Aren’t you Silver-Haired’s self-proclaimed rival? Are you really okay with the attention he’s getting? Do you not have the guts to find another way to unlock the new zone yourself?

✦ ✦ ✦

799: Hamakaze

That’s irrelevant!

I can’t find something that can’t be found anyway! Do you have any idea how hard I’ve searched for one?!

✦ ✦ ✦

800: Formaggio

Ah, so you already tried...

✦ ✦ ✦

801: Hiruma

So not even you can find it?

Dang, I had high hopes for you...

Players have started doing errand quests all over the place. Everyone’s got the same idea.

✦ ✦ ✦

802: Heartman

But aren’t those kind of impractical at this point? I know they’re steady, but still.

I guess the ideal situation is finding the hidden village myself, but I just don’t see that happening.

✦ ✦ ✦

803: Hendrickson

I can’t sit around pulling weeds at this point in the game.

Isn’t there another way to earn kudos with NPCs?

✦ ✦ ✦

804: Hiruma

I’ve heard that spontaneous quests related to NPCs give a decent boost to favorability.

✦ ✦ ✦

805: Hendrickson

Like I could find that sort of quest! I’m not Silver-Haired!

And the fact that we can’t access that sort of data, meaning I don’t even know how high my favorability currently is, makes things even harder.

✦ ✦ ✦

806: Hiruma

Pretty sure the fastest way would be to walk around with Silver-Haired so he could find it for you...

✦ ✦ ✦

807: Heartman

Maybe if we all get on our hands and knees and beg?

✦ ✦ ✦

808: Hiruma

Out of the question.

Not only could we get reported for breaking etiquette, the Defenders will punish us.

✦ ✦ ✦

809: Formaggio

I’ve been doing a fair number of events and quests as I play, but I guess my favorability just isn’t high enough.

I must be overlooking something...

✦ ✦ ✦

810: Hendrickson

The Verification Clan is taking the human wave tactic approach and has recruited people to touch as many objects as they can.

They’re trying to find the illusion concealing the entrance to the secret village, but who knows if it’ll work...

✦ ✦ ✦

811: Hamakaze

It isn’t working at all! It’s a huge area, and there are monsters!

✦ ✦ ✦

812: Hiruma

Yeah, you’re right. And not having any hints or anything doesn’t help.

✦ ✦ ✦

813: Fuka

Don’t expect any hints from me...

✦ ✦ ✦

814: Hendrickson

One of the heroes has appeared among us!

Bow down!

*bows*

✦ ✦ ✦

815: Heartman

You have my thanks.

*bows*

✦ ✦ ✦

816: Formaggio

*bows*

✦ ✦ ✦

817: Hiruma

*bows*

✦ ✦ ✦

818: Hamakaze

*bows*

✦ ✦ ✦

819: Fuka

Please stop!

I’m not Silver-Haired! I can’t answer your prayers!

✦ ✦ ✦

820: Heartman

Does Silver-Haired answer prayers?

No, you’re right, he probably could!

I have complete trust in Lord Silver-Haired lololol

✦ ✦ ✦

821: Hiruma

Is it trust, or piety?

✦ ✦ ✦

822: Hamakaze

You really don’t have any clues, Fuka? Not even the tiniest little thing?

✦ ✦ ✦

823: Fuka

If I knew, I would have triggered the event myself.

I’ve tried walking around everywhere too, but I just couldn’t trigger the event.

Touching objects didn’t do anything either.

✦ ✦ ✦

824: Hendrickson

I knew it wouldn’t be that easy.

✦ ✦ ✦

825: Fuka

Silver-Haired! Thank you for bringing me with you!

*bows*

✦ ✦ ✦

826: Hiruma

I knew it, it’s piety.

✦ ✦ ✦

827: Hamakaze

I’ll pray if it means my prayers will be answered.

✦ ✦ ✦

828: Fuka

Maybe instead of using our time to pray, we should be trying to increase our favorability with NPCs instead?

I expect there’s a good chance future events will be triggered based on favorability too.

✦ ✦ ✦

829: Hijikata

This might have been answered already, but do I need a high favorability with NPCs for the event to unlock Zone Eleven?

✦ ✦ ✦

830: Formaggio

Huh? Do you not look at the forums much?

✦ ✦ ✦

831: Hijikata

No. I only started playing three days ago as part of my school club, so I still have a while to go until I reach Zone Eleven...

But I wondered if I should be actively befriending NPCs in case it turns out to be useful in the future.

✦ ✦ ✦

832: Heartman

Gotcha.

Well, to get straight to the point: yes, you should definitely befriend them.

✦ ✦ ✦

833: Hiruma

Honestly, first-wave players neglected doing that too much in favor of progressing the game.

✦ ✦ ✦

834: Hendrickson

Though on looking back, management was subtly pointing us in that direction...

✦ ✦ ✦

835: Heartman

Yeah, like the village event.

Those who interacted with NPCs had a clear advantage.

✦ ✦ ✦

836: Formaggio

In conclusion! Be nice to NPCs!

✦ ✦ ✦

837: Hijikata

Understood!

Should I be pulling weeds like everyone else seems to be doing?

✦ ✦ ✦

838: Fuka

Yeah, you should do errand quests in the early game.

Then, once you’ve leveled up some, you can accept requests that correspond to your job class and skills.

✦ ✦ ✦

839: Hijikata

So should I accept quests from the Tamers’ Guild?

And maybe from the Farming Guild too?

✦ ✦ ✦

840: Hamakaze

You’re a Tamer and you farm?!

Wh-What’s your starting monster?

✦ ✦ ✦

841: Hijikata

An undine.

✦ ✦ ✦

842: Fuka

Aw, bad luck!

I mean, you got an elemental monster, which is cool, but that’s still too bad!

✦ ✦ ✦

843: Hamakaze

A gnome would have been the jackpot for you!

✦ ✦ ✦

844: Hijikata

Huh? Are undines a bad pull?

She can heal and she’s cute, so I was happy about it...

✦ ✦ ✦

845: Hendrickson

Ignore them. There’s no bad pull when it comes to starting monsters.

She’ll grow stronger as you level her up.

✦ ✦ ✦

846: Hijikata

Oh, good.

I’ve decided that she and I are going to aim for the top!

✦ ✦ ✦

847: Hiruma

S-So dazzling!

The innocent hope of a young man... It’s blinding!

✦ ✦ ✦

848: Formaggio

The rest of us have been corrupted.

KTK is the top player in my job class. I’m pretty sure I don’t have any hope of ever surpassing her.

✦ ✦ ✦

849: Hendrickson

I think it’s Holland for me.

Not happening!

✦ ✦ ✦

850: Heartman

And for Tamers, that’d be Silver-Haired.

✦ ✦ ✦

851: Hiruma

Impossible! End of discussion!

✦ ✦ ✦

852: Formaggio

Well, wait.

Let’s not crush this newbie’s spirit.

I agree it’s probably not gonna happen, but we should be giving advice instead!

✦ ✦ ✦

853: Hiruma

But...it’s Silver-Haired.

✦ ✦ ✦

854: Hamakaze

In that case, I, as the top Onmyoji, shall give advice!

✦ ✦ ✦

855: Fuka

Yeah, that’s the top Onmyoji for you!

You’re actually helpful, unlike these other guys!

✦ ✦ ✦

856: Heartman

We just got dissed by the top Chef.

✦ ✦ ✦

857: Fuka

Oh no, I’m not the top by a long shot. My cooking itself is pretty basic.

The reason I’ve gotten some more attention than the others is because I’m relatively better at fighting than the other Chefs.

✦ ✦ ✦

858: Hendrickson

And that’s why people call you the Iron Chef.

But considering you’re balanced in fighting and crafting, wouldn’t you say that puts you among the top players?

✦ ✦ ✦

859: Hiruma

Also, there are still fewer than ten Onmyoji. Aren’t there like eight or something?

✦ ✦ ✦

860: Formaggio

The best of eight...

✦ ✦ ✦

861: Hamakaze

Oh, hush!

The top is the top!

Also, there doesn’t have to only be one top player.

✦ ✦ ✦

862: Heartman

The top crafter, top fighter, top in name recognition, and most liked.

You can be the top player in all sorts of categories.

✦ ✦ ✦

863: Hamakaze

Yeah!

It might be hard to follow in Silver-Haired’s footsteps.

Walking such a tough road requires mental fortitude!

✦ ✦ ✦

864: Hiruma

S-Spoken like someone who knows what she’s talking about!

I wouldn’t exactly call it a tough road, though.

✦ ✦ ✦

865: Fuka

But you know, there’s always the option of aiming to be the top Tamer by using a different approach from Silver-Haired.

Let’s think of ideas!
