Advisor Services
Revive- In the event
of a character defeat, the advisor can, once combat ends, bring them back from
the brink. This must be paid for, however. And there are two ways to pay:
1.
You pay gold, at the
rate of 10 x total character level of the fallen hero, and the character is
Shaken (Cannot grant or use friendships for 5 combat rounds)
2.
You pay using the
party EXP pool. You pay a flat 25 XP to revive unpromoted
heroes, or a flat 50 to revive a promoted hero. If paid for this way, the hero
is not Shaken.
Cure- Two ailments
cling onto a character permanently until cured: Poison and Petrification. The
advisor can cure both. Using cure always costs a flat 20 gold, regardless of
whether you’re poisoned, petrified, or both.
Shop Services
Sell- you can sell
unwanted items back to any shop. They will give you 25% of the buy price for
any items you sell, or 75% if it’s a rare bird.
Deals- occasionally,
a shop will have something special on offer, not available anywhere else. Grab
them while you can, because once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Repair- items that
have a magical use sometimes crack, bend, warp, smoke or otherwise become close
to destruction. If you can find a shop, they can repair the item for 25% of the
item’s buy price.
Recharge- items that
have a magical use can crack, bend, warp, smoke or otherwise become close to
destruction after any amount of uses. It might be after 100 uses, or it might
be after the first. Provided your item isn’t damaged, you can pay to have the
item recharged. Recharging an item gives you a certain number of free uses
where the item will perform with no risk of damage. For 25% of the item’s buy
price, you can buy 2 charges. For the full buy price, you get 6. You can’t buy
multiples of the cheaper option to gain more charges. Most magical items aren’t
cheap though. It can get pricey. Bear that in mind.
Sharpen Weapon- you
can pay a weapon shop owner to temporarily sharpen your weapon. For 25% of the
weapon’s buy price, you add 10% (Minimum 1) of the weapon’s ATT power to itself
for the duration of the next battle. For 100% of the buy price, you add 15%
(Minimum 2) of the weapon’s ATT power to itself for the duration of the next
battle. You can’t buy the cheaper one multiple times to get 20%. If you want
20%, you have to pay the full price.
Mithril Smith
Towards the end of
the game, a specialist weapon smith can be found. He can make very special
weapons provided you have the money and mithril to fund the custom job. There
are three tiers of Mithril weapon:
C. Costs 5000 Gold and 1 Mithril
B. Costs 10000 Gold and 1 Mithril
A. Costs 10000 Gold and 2 Mithril
