Some of the alchemy quests you can find the recipe if you search bookshelves but for some I just checked online especially since some items need ingredients that you have to create also.

Yup, I don't want to use books to play my games for me.Johnas said:

You'll find recipes for most quest items sooner or later. Some of them are in the fully upgraded Inn, though.Princess Skittles said:
I think she just means that she hasn't found it yet. Case in point: I didn't get the birdsong nectar recipe until way later in the game after being asked to provide it in a quest. Just write down or make a mental note of the quest, and dismiss it until you get what you need. Then you can initiate the quest once again then immediately transgressrpmurphy said:

I'm around Bloomingdale right now, is it bad that I haven't switched my classes yet at all?

No, I still will. It's excessively poor game design.Woo-Fu said:

Innumerable (?). They are randomly/procedural generated, save for "special" ones, like cameo boss maps.Johnas said:
Koomaster said:Using the metal king slime map, got two of my characters up to Level 99 today!
Went ahead and revocated them both, but I don't think I will be facing any more Metal King Slimes for a while. Maybe start them off low on some of the baby metal slimes first.
That's four revocated characters now as I just revocated my paladin back to level 1 today. But I don't know what I'm going to do without my paladin's forbearance abilities. At level 99 she had ~700HP and could weather attacks for several turns. Now she's back to just over 100HP, I'm going to have to protect her for a while. :lol
Other characters levels
Warrior - 59
Sage - 54
Thief - 33
another anal ravaging from equinox here... was feeling fairly overpowered for all of the game so far so i went in with my usual gung-ho strategy. he debuffed the crap out of me but wasn't doing too much damage, then blew up my entire team with two AOEs in one turn. :lol
playing a lot more carefully on bosses now, managed to take him down the second go but it was about to get ugly in another turn or two.
i really don't see the point to the treasure maps beyond grinding and the challenge, with the loot being a huge gamble...

Thirty-one hours in, I've been spending time doing quests for the last little while, but went back to the main story. This game is really flapping good.
Story spoilers
Going to resist upgrading up all the skills to do the quests in Swinedimples and continue with the plot for now. Stella kept telling me I was taking too long.

Well I guess I'm near the end
Is the alchemy completion rate based on the items you have actually made as well? It sucks that the alcheminicon doesn't just register items you have so you don't have to make them just so they appear.
It looks like I might get an Acekard2i or Super Card DS TWO just so I can get the masayuki & kawasaki maps / full hotel for me and a friend.
Man Zenus was a dick. I figured Yggdrasil would be a deity of sorts. I got through the castle and witnessed the part where Aquila gets shocked like Darth Vader. My priest was dead so I evac'd out of there before facing the king. Did I miss the sage bookcase in the castle somewhere? I thought it was supposed to be there but I didn't see it.

Do not listen to those guys, you DO go back to level 1, but all your base stats remain in tact. So my +HP skills I earned as a paladin are there, but she went from ~700HP down to ~100HP. Normally paladins start off ~30HP at level 1.MrPliskin said:
When you revocate, your person goes from level 99 all the way back to level 1 in their job. You also lose any spells your character learned. Like my sage, when she went to level 1, all her spells were gone. As she is leveling back up she is learning them all over again.
Anyone go to the unofficial meet up at the Nintendo World store in NYC today? People have been meeting up there every Tuesday. I went today and got my inn from 0-30 in like half an hour, plus picked up some legacy maps, that high lvl Japanese map and some other high level maps. Pretty cool.

Beat the last boss in three turns -- only one of which I did any attacking. :lol

Went to the mall earlier and kept my DS in my pocket canvassing on a lark. I ended up getting 2 hits, and one of them came with a silver marsh of bane lvl 58 map.
To say I'm surprised is an understatement. Thought I was wasting my time and wouldn't even get any tags, but I ended up with 2 tags and one of the best grottos in the game.

I'm stuck in Wormwood and need some help. Not sure what to do, I'm starting to think the game is bugged. Has anyone been in this situation?
I made it to wormwood before batsurg and swinedemples. I explored and got a cutscene of Wallace in town. I also found the Lucida Shard up north but that was all I could do so I left the area and completed batsurg and swinedemples.
Once I completed those two areas, I went back to Wormwood creek. I read somewhere I have to talk to Serena up north where I found the shard but she is nowhere to be scene. The old lady in the church won't move out of the way of the gravestone. I've also examined the statue near the weapon shop but it does nothing. Finally, the bald old man won't talk to me and says"na nanaaaaa na..." while he is in the church.
I'm really stuck and am starting to think I bugged the game by getting the shard to early in the game.

I have to say I was pretty lukewarm on the whole quest thing at the beginning, but it's really grown on me at this point. I know I can tackle the endgame at this point with no problem (levels in the early 40s) but I just keep doing one more quest.
I was reading about the treasure maps and how that all works though, and getting the rarest of the rare drops sounds ridiculously complex.
