Great, now I'm somewhat dreading reaching 20 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
It's actually a higher bump in difficulty than the usual level-up bump?

For a while, especially early 20's yea, just power up your spells, you should be alright.

Is it just me, or are Peacocks really easy? I mean, the Whales are bruisers but the Peacocks just seem to have more health than usual. They don't hit for much either.

Depends what you use to kill the damn peacocks. Initially they were hard as hell, maybe Tenboro changed something specifically with the peacocks, but they seem ok now, The sperm whales on the other hand, I get bukkaked to death. I usually end up using my spirit to kill the damn things. That said, I only have fire and ice spells to work with.

The jump to the 20s really makes you set up your character carefully, in terms of experience and ability purchases.

You know I had no problems when I leveled up to 20 :/

The big change is 20 - 40. After lvl 40 things get fun (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Heh. I don't have enough words to express how much I'm looking forward to Shield and Cure. Shadow Veil too, but that's going to be even longer. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

even I dont have shadow veil. I dont want the elemental spell that comes before it so it would be the same as spending 7 AP for a single ability. Thats too damn expensive to be an option

It's useful though. On the other hand, the two new monsters are fucking up my system. Normally, it's:

shield
shadow veil
get attacked
attack.

now it's:

shield
get attacked (probably crit) by peacock
get attacked (probably crit) by whale
shadow veil
get attacked by whoever is left.
attack.
Die.


The new whale and peacock are faster than the normal ones :\

Death is a serious flaw in any system

Not sure if this has been said yet, but it seems whale is weak to fire and/or elec. I hit a whale with fire/elec and it did about 120 damage (fire did slightly more; then again my fire elemental rating is about 18% while my elec is 4%). I used ice and it did about 70.

Peacocks seem to be weak to elec.

Personally Shadow Veil is overrated. I'd rather just bolster my shield and cure as needed then waste the MP on Shadow Veil. Then again I've got Regen so maybe I'm spoiled... or was before it got nerfed.

Do you know how much shadow veil increases your evasion (or whatever it does; I'm assuming it increases that), and how much shield increases your def?

I've been getting consistently better damage on the whales with elec than fire. Even with Deep Burns, fire still did less damage for me. It's not bad damage, but I'd imagine the whale has more of a vulnerability to elec than fire.

I couldn't even beat this at full HP, let alone 11.

I do pretty heavy damage with wind on peacocks, maybe its just me.

No, it's not just you. That's what I use in the arena.

For the record I've found that Holy works quite well on Cockatrices and Scary Ghosts. But I really shouldn't be getting peoples hopes up too much eh?

Well DUH holy works well on ghosts. I'd be concerned for everyone if it didn't. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Hell, I'll get there eventually. I'm in no particular hurry, though. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I just want Weaken right now. I'll worry about the next skill tree once I get to Lv. 25.
