Wat. Maybe a bug then? Hopefully you saved just before you made them. @_@Eteric Rice said:They're not in equipment either.
Edit:
By the way, anyone get the red slime loading screen yet? I've gotten it twice thus far and used it to pinch gold bars and brighten rocks in the Bowhole.

What does she mean here? Get the drops as in what the monster drops, or get the drop as in 'the enemy is too stunned to move' getting a free attack on it?

It's normal, unfortunately. You'll just have to get used to it, unless you want to walk around with just 3 in your party or something.CoolS said:

So I've been playing this game a little while and I didn't realise until just now that you can get extra party members at the Inn. I defeated the Wight Knight single handedly because I didn't know that! Fun game so far though, although it's a shame to hear the story isn't going to be so great, I absolutely loved that about V.

As far as I know, that's the easiest way unless you get a Red Slime or two at the load screen and you want to go steal Gold Bars with a high-Deft Ranger. One of the downfalls of postgame unfortunately. I really like the ideas present, but another installment or two before they really iron out the kinks in the formula.

When they just show up it means your luck factor is increased. Don't need to do anything, kind of like a roll of the dice at the load screen to see what your luck will be.
That's what I was afraid of, was hoping she was telling me how to increase chances of monsters dropping their loot.jaxword said:
Edit: I got that red slime at start up the 2nd time ever I turned on the game and never again. I thought it was showing up because the game was taking a bit longer to load. If I had known then that it was lucky, I would have kept my DS in sleep mode. ¬___¬

Well it's not at the level of V(and there are very few games that are), but yes, I very much enjoyed it. The kingdom in mourning, dreamland, Dhoulmagus walking across the ocean, the abbey...the scenarios were good, and dhoulmagus kept things focused throughout. Loved it. I agree that the dark world stuff was pretty bad, but overall I found it a much more enjoyable story. Everything in IX is just so short, and it never really gives you a chance to care about any of the characters involved before the scenarios end. it's not a bad game by any means, but I certainly feel that neither the story nor the characters are as involving.

That's not his question.Reknoc said:
How to change classes:
You get to Alltrades Abbey pretty soon after you get the initial 6 classes. There you can change vocations.
Then you first have to enter a dungeon and beat a boss before you can actually do it.

I just completed my party and I only made female characters in addition to my male hero; they just seemed more fun to make and had better hair styles. And having a cute martial artist is sort of bad-ass.
And while I don't want to beat a dead horse I have to express my irritation with the slowdown. It's not terrible, but certainly a noticeable flaw in the otherwise outstanding presentation.

So I just beat the boss at the first legacy map (I actually don't really know what a legacy map is) - anyway, Baramos went down, he was TOUGH, but I took him down. Forbearance + magic reflection is awesome. Anyhoo, at the end of the fight he gets back up and wants all 60,000xp from the fight. The hell would I give him the XP for? I assume there is a reason, can anyone tell me what it is?

To level the boss up so you can get better maps and drops from him.

Did an bit of grinding, some class changes and then beat Garth Goyle
When I changed classes from my initial ones to new ones, levelled them up a bit and went to revert back to my original class, I noticed that a third class, which I hadn't chosen yet, had increased in level. Does levelling some classes equal progression in others? (hope that makes sense!)

)Nope... the only way that could have happened is if you just leveled that class and forgot about it.JustAnotherOtaku said:Did an bit of grinding, some class changes and then beat Garth Goyle

Treasure maps will be there forever, and they never change in design - you can leave and come back - in fact you can fight the bosses on the maps over and over and over again. Just wait until you're high enough to get king metal slimes and higher on your maps.
Yay, just beat the final boss today! Only took me 76 hours on my gameclock. Such a slowpoke. :lol
Now I'm following the post-game cookie trail and I'm already having problems with
My question is, which class learns a full party heal spell and at what level. I'm definitely going to need it now. For the record my party consists of Warrior, Thief, Paladin, Ranger. My Paladin and Ranger have several levels in both Mage/Sage if those classes learn the spell I'm after.

Its not really because of the slowdown, I just haven't had any motivation or reason to create a 4th party member. I suppose this is eventually going to screw me over but right now I'm doing fine with 3 party-goers.

Damn, I got to Garth before finding the Abbot, lol! I guess I got some backtracking to do now!
