Hope LiD-GAF enjoys the holiday today, should you celebrate it!
My hunters brought me back some transparungus mushrooms, so that was enough to *finally* beat the 23F boss. I then almost had a damn heart attack making my way towards the 25F elevator, poison almost killed me but I had eaten a pillbug prior and I had a ton of food on hand. Even had to double back and recycle the enemies, 25F was littered with crossbow users and more than one at a time was difficult. It was intense seeing these much higher level enemies and my weapons slowly but surely breaking down. But once I saw the elevator, a shining light shone upon the world, and I headed straight back down!
Had enough spare funds to buy a new grade 4 striker and lucky star, got a couple of the golden snails to level em up a bit (one time I knocked a golden snail *into* the wall, so that was a bummer), but all in all a good bit of progress this morning.
Also, I definitely need to find the sniper rifle blueprints, where should I look? Thinking of taking my Lucky Star character out to explore and try to add it to my list of weapons.
