You've performed a critical hit and dealt 954 damage!
This feels good. ^^ (EDIT: New record: 1714)
Btw, I can't use my teleportation scroll even though my magic stat is 7 (+4). Does the extra +4 not count?

Crap, are you that level 7 thief on the leaderboard? I was following you until I got killed.

O: Kinda stuck now though, lots of energy but don't know where to go next.

You have plenty of time being so far ahead of others ;)

Can i ask where can you get a lot of energy like that ಠ_ಠ
Comment has been collapsed.
Picked up a few energy potions, got lucky and found the shop quite early. Spent most of my coins on energy potions.

I know you steal mine. :(
You feel weaker. MonoTheKing has drained some energy from you!
10 hours after stopping, now I have 9/25 energy. :s

He's lv10 now, seem like someone got all energy in the game ಠ_ಠ
Comment has been collapsed.
it took him less time to get from level 2 - 10 than it has for me to get from 2 - 2.5 xD clearly I am playing this wrong
Comment has been collapsed.
or you're just not lucky like him ヽ( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)ﾉ I am wondering what artifacts he got, and maybe become the one leading, he has more chance to get energy.

I think once you reach a certain point in the game, you can pretty much continue indefinitely. Good luck!

Yup, thanks for the tip. Finished today from level 5 and played straight for almost two hours :)

Can resurrection time be reduced? 6 hours seems a bit too much.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is.

PS: I just died again from a scratch bird soon after resurrection. Couldn't hit it or run away from it even with ranged weapon. Simply OP.

A new adventure? Wow, how could I miss it :/
And it comes with classes too, you're even more awesome than before SErVER51.

Being dead is bad.
Someone stole 46 coins while you were dead, I only had 50. :'(
Comment has been collapsed.
It happens. Same happened to me while I had 100. I'm broke now. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Back to 26, harder to die now with 2x medium hp and 1x small hp potion. Should be able to get to lvl 2 with that.
And then I can use my regen scrolls. :D
I did drop out of top 25 :( 47
Comment has been collapsed.
Someone stole ~400 coins or so from me while I was at work (not sure about the exact amount as I never saw the message), still made it through though. Don't worry, you'll regain that amount and much more soon enough ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Does disorientation eventually fade on it's own, or do you have to find whatever item cures it?
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, yes. I always forget to read the FAQ first. Woops :p
Comment has been collapsed.
This is harder than I originally thought. I started yesterday and ended up getting blinded which caused me to die in a fight that I couldn't run from. My character came back to life right when I was ready to go to sleep and I couldn't do anything because my energy was at 0 and I had to wait for it to regenerate.
I went to bed and just woke up to come back to the game with full HP and energy hoping to make some progress. The very first thing I do is cut my hand and now I am dying from bleeding with nothing to stop it. I take a couple steps and run into another enemy I have no chance against so I run away. Take 2 steps back and my HP is very low now from bleeding and I run into another enemy. I manage to run away, but bleed to death right after with almost full energy.
Now I guess I have to wait to be brought back to life again and then wait for my energy to regenerate again. I'm not sure where to go now, I have not made it more than 5 steps away from the start and I feel like I am blocked in both directions by an enemy that I cannot kill.
Comment has been collapsed.
Most of the enemies are random encounters, they are gone once you run from them or defeat them.
If it isn't random it will be marked on your map.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I didn't know that, thanks! I knew there were random and permanent enemies, but I didn't know the permanent ones would be marked on the map. Both of the ones I ran into I saw people talking about here and I figured everyone was running into them because they were permanent, but neither are marked on my map.
I ran into one and figured I was blocked so I turned around and went the other way. Got back past the start going the other way and hit another, so I thought I was blocked again and had to defeat one or the other to progress. I decided I would have better luck with the first one I ran into, so I turned around and started going back that way when I died from bleeding on the way there. I was just running back and forth between 2 random enemies wasting energy. Now at least I know I can progress.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm shouldn't the adventurer's crown reduce resurrection time to 2h? o.o
Comment has been collapsed.
The res times are fixed times for the entire game, not 6 hours for each adventurer, but 6/4/2 hours intervals starting at game start.
Next one is in 25 minutes.
Edit: at least it was that way last game, and this morning(for me) I revived 8 minutes after I died.

And now I'm level 3! Lots of frightening beings in the dungeons. :)

Damn that Angry Turtle, kept evading my attacks, so much energy gone, including some from potions. :s

I must say it - the creator had really bad day when he figured Disorientation. This is one of the most annoying things in the world :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Hehe, I don't really remember how I felt while inventing it, but, well, it's not as bad now as it was in the previous Game, it's just energy consuming! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Great game as usual, hope I can finish it in time!
Only downside is the balancing, at least thats how I feel.
Death should have a drawback, for sure. But it already needs a lot of time to respawn and doesnt feel great to die.
But if other players are able to steal ALL the coins (just lost ~150 coins) from your inventory, that just doesnt feel fair :/
Comment has been collapsed.
You are right about the balance, it definitely has flaws, mostly at the very beginning unfortunately. I'll be working harder on it. There are too many thieves around, and each of them can steal a few coins; so little by little, they can take them all from you, yes.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh boy, 4th death. I really shouldn't have picked up that key :/
Comment has been collapsed.
I actually was revived then because I was already dead, but then I died again right afterwards. Great luck, huh? I also got over 300 coins stolen by lmxn ;-;
Comment has been collapsed.
:D successfully wearing a giant rat's skin.
I feel like I should draw my character, since she's wearing such bizarre artifacts that the resulting image will be funny.

I just found my own treasure. I thought this couldn't happen, am I wrong or is this a bug?
Comment has been collapsed.
That indeed was a bug! Sory that it happened! This treasure has been replaced by another one that was randomly chosen using the same mechanism used in the Game, you will see the new link in your inventory.
Comment has been collapsed.
I found both my treasures O: But it's ok, I wasn't planning to enter any of them anyway (:
Comment has been collapsed.
Still, wouldn't be fair to leave it like that. Replaced both with other random ones :p

Ah, I thought it was intentional, I had it too yesterday. Thanks for fixing it!
Comment has been collapsed.
I can't use Resurrection Scroll although I'm at magic lv10, just died 1 time to test it but it didn't work. can you check it SErVER51? or Am I missing something? (ง'̀-'́)ง
Comment has been collapsed.
Everyone now gets 5 Skill Points and 4 Resistance points from level 1. Use them wisely to upgrade your main Skills and some Resistances. It should help you in the beginning of the Game.
Guys, I am sorry for the balance flaws that the current Game has, mostly at the very beginning, which prevents many of you from fully enjoying the Game. Please take into account that this is my first experience at making such game, but I learn from the mistakes and that means that I will certainly be constantly improving it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Do we just click on what skill we want to add a point to? I tried, but nothing happens, it won't put my points anywhere.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can upgrade the main skills of your hero, other ones are limited to your current hero level. Main skills: Thief - Agility and Accuracy; Barbarian - Strength and Defence; Mage - Magic and Magic Defence.
Comment has been collapsed.
Are saying because I picked Barbarian, I can only upgrade strength and defense? I was planning on maxing out agility and accuracy first.
Comment has been collapsed.
As a Barbarian, you can maximize your Strength and Defence early in the Game.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was hoping to start with high strength and defense by choosing the barbarian and then put all my points into agility and accuracy. I guess that's not going to happen.
Comment has been collapsed.
When you say other skills are limited to your current hero level, does that mean that if I am a level 2 barbarian I can put up to 2 skill points in agility and when I reach level 3 I can put up to a total of 3?
Comment has been collapsed.
Correct, at level 2 you'll be able to upgrade accuracy and agility to level 2.
Comment has been collapsed.
This info should be in the FAQ :D
Ah sorry I see it's already there, I forgot I glimpsed it yesterday :(
Comment has been collapsed.
No skill and resistance points after I restart, and no adventurer's crown (I'd understand if this is part of game design). This is way harder, I'm dead already :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup, you can consider restart option a hardcore mode (which most of the players started in anyway, hehe).
Comment has been collapsed.
I know right? As I was struggling to survive even with the lovely bonus stats I felt horrible for the non-contributors :P
I think it's meaner that you can accidentally throw away your crown during the game though, I've encountered two possible Artifacts in the Head slot by now and one misclick could really ruin someone's day :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Aww I noticed this after I leveled up to 5 and I thought 'oh nice, after level 5 we get 10 skill points per level!' :P
Comment has been collapsed.
That moment when you're fighting a hard monster and you pick Energy potion instead of Health potion...
It was a big energy pot... I died qq
At least I seem to be doing ok in the rankings...:D?

I'm sure you will find many HP potions as well! Good luck! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
But the BIG energy pot! ;A; Better luck next time i guess! (or aim?)
As for the game! It's very very enjoyable, just like last time! Thanks for sharing such a cool game with us :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, big energy pot will help you get on your feet right after resurrection without waiting extra time for energy to be replenished :) I'm very glad that you enjoy the Game! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Using potions doesn't spend your turn, so as long as you don't rush it you should be able to notice and fix the mistake in the future :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You have got the Dragon's treasures and are now known as lmxn the Dragon Slayer!
YAY! Maybe I should try again as a mage. (:
Comment has been collapsed.
Good job! I suppose you found a lot of energy potions/got lucky with directions and didn't have to backtrack much? With all the energy I spent so far I know it'll take me several days to finish since I'm hitting almost every location at the wrong time (without having the necessary items).
Comment has been collapsed.
Once you reach a certain location getting energy is way easier.
I actually wasted some time looking for an item I didn't realise was already in my inventory... O: But yeah I guess I was lucky
Comment has been collapsed.
2deaths in and i finally realise i didnt assign my skill/resist points. i guess thats why im in bottom 10. #rookie
Comment has been collapsed.
You may not of had any points to use at that time. The game originally started with no points to add. If you scroll up this page a little you will see that they were given to everyone to make the early stages of the game a little easier. They were just added 3 hours before you posted this comment. I thought the same thing when I saw them. The post is here
Comment has been collapsed.
Think I might have found a bug - I picked up an artifact that reduced my defence by 1, but that was better than my old one which reduced my defence by 3. But now I have my defence reduced by 4! :3
Comment has been collapsed.
Aw. Could you please tell me the name of the artifact, so that I could check it? :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I was holding Boots of Stomping or something like that, and now I have Ragged Boots. But my Artifact list is not showing the Stomping Boots anymore, and I thought I would drop those to pick up the Ragged Boots. At least that's what the action indicated - that I would drop one to get the other.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just checked Ragged Boots, they should work fine. Are you sure no other artifacts or weapons decrease your Defence?
Comment has been collapsed.
Check my list of artifacts, and see my stats. I'm sure they went down when I picked up Ragged Boots, but didn't allow for me dropping the Stompers of Rage.
Comment has been collapsed.
Belt: Defence -3
Boots: Defence -1
All in all: Defence -4
Everything is correct.
The problem was with Stompers since they didn't actually reduce the Defence when they should have, now your stats are correct.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh ok! Thanks very much for clarifying this. I knew something was strange when it didn't change the way I expected.
Comment has been collapsed.
The belt is still a very powerful artifact that will help you a lot in the adventure, even though it has this negative effect ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Are you sure you aren't holding 2 different artifacts that both reduce your defence? I think you can hold 1 of each type and there are 7 types. That means you can hold up to 7 artifacts at the same time. If you mouse over each artifact, it will tell you what "type" each is.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've looked through the artifacts and haven't found a faulty one, so he probably has 2 artifacts that both decrease defence :p Ouch...
Comment has been collapsed.
I've had another artifact (can't remember the name sorry) that said it would give -2 defense but in stats showed up as +2, but unsure if it's a bug with the visual stats or it actually does boost you :P but if you're sure about it, I guess its been fixed now. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I am not sure, as I haven't inspected each one, just looked through them. There are tons of artifacts, and it is prefferably to specify if not the name, but at least a type of supposedly faulty artifact.
Edit: just found it. Stompers of Rage were broken :p
Comment has been collapsed.
I carried a certain key for about 100 turns and several doors I thought it would fit into spending the majority of my potions and finally ended up dying against a crit from a normal monster when I was too tired to watch my HP properly, spent several minutes panicking over my 1000+ coins and then realized I had a resurrection scroll, walked two more steps and finally found the right door to use it. I'm so relieved right now :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Great job! :D Though you probably mean a Phoenix Blood, since Resurrection Scroll is available at Magic level 10.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes you are correct, thanks :D speaking of 10 I see the level 10 was removed from scoreboard, was it a bug or hax? :P
Comment has been collapsed.
It was a win :p
There will be a separate table with Top Winners when more people complete the adventure.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh wow, that's quite impressive indeed. I was confused because today I saw 'Winners: 1' so I thought the person from yesterday had not completed yet, but your explanation makes more sense. I just can't believe someone just aced to level 10 and through the entire adventure so quickly :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Seems like there is always one guy who completes the Game much faster than others. It has happened in each Game :p

Damn we're on the same boat, that insane key make me crazy, Nothing in the game bother me, even tough monsters, but that key ಠ_ಠ Can I ask what door it fits?
Comment has been collapsed.
I would love to help but I'm not sure if it's against the rules (that's why I was intentionally vague), I'm sure the host will answer you whatever he deems appropriate. Sorry and I hope you'll find it soon! I guess I can say this much: It's nothing you have to go out of your way to find but you will need to explore thoroughly. And you will know once you find the correct door (in other words, don't waste time with doors that don't seem to be obviously connected to the key).
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh I think thats enough for me, thanks for the tip ᕦ(ò_ó*)ᕤ

Is this weird? I owned Dendroid Root, went to meet the wild Orc, nothing happens after that, I go through the wild Orc, found a small room, nothing special inside, then go outside, the Dendroid Root still in my Inventory, the place where the wild Orc stand still has red mark on the map, is it a bug?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hm, I will talk to him now and ask him not to ignore you :p Did you accept his quest before that?
Comment has been collapsed.
What a rude Orc! ಠ_ಠ
Hell yeah I accepted his quest, then went to Dendroid, then came back. And I till can't find the effect of the pull level at X6Y15 too although I went through all the map after pulled it like hundred times

P.S. Good luck with the lever ;)

More question:
I met him and thats it? still nothing special after that, I received nothing from him, now I kinda lost again, There only 2 way I can go now, went to massive door no keyhole and nothing happens, of course I still can't find the key for the door in Elder Troll`s cave too.
Comment has been collapsed.
He talk to me this time, i gave him the root, I pulled the lever, and thats it. I think it should open the door without keyhole but nothing happen when I went there. Is it normal, I still missing something or it is a bug? ಠ_ಠ
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, you're still missing something. The lever doesn't work on its own (the light when you pull it can hint at this). Make sure you've explored every possible nook and cranny of the dungeon, you will have to go through everything sooner or later in order to proceed.
Comment has been collapsed.
As far as I remember there are 3 of them, and i'm pretty sure pulled them all (some of them I pulled few times to make sure it works). sh!t I never notice the color, thought they're all the same.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're close to uncovering the solution then. As I wrote earlier, make sure to do everything else in the Dungeon and explore every tile (and check every wall) and you're bound to solve it. (The solution is slightly mean in the sense that if you don't do complete exploration, you are very likely to never be able to solve it.)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm died at the first Wild Faerie in second room... all 24 energy was attack, and all missed... this game is priceless! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, blaming the Game is surely easier than reading a FAQ to learn a bit about its basics :) Like, for example, that you will almost always miss with a melee weapon against a flying enemy, and it would be a better idea to escape until you get a ranged weapon.

Important notes about the Game
In the Game, you will have Energy Points and Health Points.
Most of the actions in the Game require Energy Points. Energy can be replenished using items, which you can find everywhere, thus it is important that you check everything around you!
Energy will also be replenished over time. Normally, you will receive 1 Energy Point every 15 minutes, and that time can be reduced with special artifacts that can be found in Game.
Note, that the Energy won't be replenishing during the battles (you can only restore it with potions)!
If you lose all your Health Points, you will also lose all the energy you had plus you will have to wait for up to 6 hours to be resurrected. (Basic Resurrection happens every 6 hours from the time the Game started - 16:00 GMT). The energy can not be replenished while you are dead!
Note: If you have problems navigating through the map, you can switch to Simplified Navigation at the bottom right corner.
I highly recommend to read this article for important Strategy Tips and general understanding of the Game :)
Also, make sure to read the FAQ, it has the answers to most questions you might have about the Game ;)
