Quick question though, what exactly is the point of a dagger? My avatar looks kind of like a tiny evil wizard man, so I thought a dagger plus magic would be perfectly appropriate, but I can't see any benefit to using daggers over regular swords. Am I missing something?
Later daggers start getting +MAG bonuses. Also, daggers let you act faster than swords.
EDIT: The first one I've seen is the Kris, at Level 10. ATK17, MAG2, Fire+1.

I think some daggers give bonuses to +mag

This is probably pretty obvious, but those big fire trolls in the desert drop the Fire Giant Anklet right? Because I just got weapon crafting and after getting up to rank by giving them a bunch of shards I don't use, I see that I really want that stylish armor. I have all the stuff needed except for those anklets though.
I was fighting an earth dragon, walked up behind it and started hitting its tail with a combo. After a bit before it died I received item "Dragons Tail" in my inventory. It also dropped items on its death. Any word if we should be aiming for certain parts of big monsters to get items?

That would make sense, especially considering that hit locations barely seem to have an effect on combat, if at all.

I believe so. I have a few and those are the only things I've downed recently that could have dropped them.

Correct. On certain types of monsters, you can attempt to aim for different parts to get loots. For example, the boss of the Greydall plains will drop Ice Crystals if you punch its Head in.
And no, hit locations are really important. Typically head takes more damage and has chance to K.O. on hit. Belly takes more damage and naturally gets hit by jumping attacks. Repeatedly hitting a certain leg will cause the stagger effect.

Alright, I've added everyone in the list. It took less time than I expected. Am I correct in assuming that you can only visit the Georama towns of those who are in your friendlist?
My PC is way hotter than Leonard, and yet he'll probably get the girl. Pffft. No respect.
Edit: Jesus, kaseius. Your home town is huge!

I'm almost to Greede. I'm playing offline right now because when I'm connected to internet I get horrible stuttering cutscenes. If anyone wants to quest (DEL) let me know via the forums or AIM (nouveaucoucou).
I'm going to be so behind because I don't want to turn on my PS3 in this blizzard for fear of the power cutting out in the 3-5 seconds it takes to save.
join kaseius room it's got all sorts of people and were all questing
I don't want to sit in there waiting for you guys to finish a quest if you go on one. If there's a spot, let me reboot, turn my network back on, and I'll come in.
Can't you set the hometown to friends only, too? If you don't want the room to get filled with randoms, that seems like a good way. Just make sure to accept my friend requests! :P

I've got some made but I can't seem to get them to work right. When I trigger them they only appear to do one more and then wait the normal time... Is that how its supposed to go down?
Also, how do you chain the moves with the arrows? Like the ones that knock them up and then knock them across and then back down again. I've tried putting them in sequence and all my toon does is hit them into the air and then watch them fall.
I assume I'm doing something wrong here but I was hoping I wasn't this dumb... Some help would be lovely.

you have to hit x when the circle flashes yellow to continue your combo. if its a 5 hit combo you have to hit x 5 times.
Ohhh, okay. Thanks, that will help.
Am I missing some online knowledge bank or is everyone just feeling their way through this.
A couple people have guides but i think most of us are just doing trial/error. But yeah if you just spam X it will work, you don't actually have to time it. It's a bit disappointing because it's very satisfying when you pull off a long timed combo.

Try reading the in-game help. It's actually not terrible.
I shall endeavor to do so, thank you for the tip.
On another note... 2hand Axe isn't really stunning me too much at this point. Seems like Elemental does more damage (when I watch a mage go at it) and a lot more quickly.
I'm 99% 2handed axe right now. Maybe thats my problem? Should I be mixing it with 2hand Sword or something different? All of my attacks seem identical at this point, just with a slightly different swing animation and small variations in damage.

I'm just going what I think is fun at the moment, instead of concerning myself with maximizing damage and so forth. The game doesn't appear to be too difficult.
Plus you can eventually max out everything, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I don't know how long that would take, though.

Went full holy and staff for some reason, dont know why. Wish there was a respec. Havent really tried much of the online though I have a city setup and whatnot. A few questions.
Whats the difference between doing quests online and offline? Are they the same quests.
Do all of the residents generally effect whats sold. I have lumberjacks, warriors, and mages and i'm not really seeing the results.
Anyone know if there is a respec option? I'm guessing not but i'm still hoping. And on that note how many skills can you max out at the end?

...that's alot of questions.
1) They are the same quests. The offline ones *may* be easier than the online ones.
2) Yes, Residents and Job Parts affect what is sold in your General Store.
3) No respec until 50. You can max 2 skills the first time through. With the extra points, sky's the limit. IIRC, the number I heard quoted after 4 reincarnations was max of 4 skills.

Farians = Elvaan
Humans = Humes
those little dudes = Taru
those big dudes = Galka
Toads = wtf.
Most Certainly. TO be honest there is alot about how the game plays, the overall design, and the npc's that reminds me of FFXI.

I had to go to gamefaqs just to figure out what the various attributes in the game map to as far as effect.
