It's surprising that Mage has better stats than Sage.
You would think Sage would be a direct upgrade.

my only friend on dqx removed me

Personalities are overrated. Simply give your characters ones that are vaguely related to what you want them to do, and it'll be fine. No need to min/max and play an already easy game on Easy Mode.

Doing the Kidnapper's Cave on Hard, not really sure if I'm underleveled or overleveled.
Had to leave to heal after exploring the first floor because it actually drained my MP quite a lot. Not actually tough but annoying encounters like 2 Hoodies, 2 Shades and 3 Lump Mages.

>>502940080
Sage is a better all-rounder and provides more utility
Mage is just there to nuke things with magic

>>502942454
i think my lowest level was 23 when i did it

>>502942508
I mean yeah but once you have learned all the spells you can switch to Mage since it unexpectedly has better stats.

>>502944040
Probably to make up for their main gimmick no longer being a selling point since everyone has multihits now

Don't forget to wash your balls, /dqg/

>>502944821
dont tell me what to do

>defeat whip demon whatever from the pyramid
>hero jumps up two levels
was i underleveled? Sounds weird cause besides trying to block their magic (with the dedicated staff, didn't want to waste mp, though i did basically waste turns cause even if i could block it the block would come undone in less than 2 turns, sometimes in the same turn) hero did big dick damage with zap

>>502944040
At lvl40, you should be changing your Sage to either something that is fast, or hits hard with a lot of defense or better equipment selection. Additional Wisdom is pointless at a certain point, and seed farming all stats to 255 is always going to be the most optimal way to play the game regardless.

>>502945397
Zap is supposed to be a thing during the fight as all enemies there were weak to it. I say you were fine

My squad is
hero
wrangler
warrior (was thief)
sage (was mage)

I'm keeping wrangler until he gets wild side, what should I change him to after that? I'm thinking either gadabout -> sage for extra spells or MA/thief for agility. Need some help boys

>>502944040
Optimal path after learning all Sage spells > MW for Beast Mode -> Goof off for Angry magic -> Class you think looks the best for your caster (Mage obviously)

>>502948041
Straight to MA if you're either going to just get Zoma done asap OR turbo autism grind for giga optimal Xenron strats (you'll want the MA auto crit for that)

Else Warrior to Sword Dance -> MA final because it Will outpace MW damage before too long in the endgame

>>502948646
my plan was to make my warrior a MA too, is there anything I should change my sage to after he learns all the necessary spells?

Is the Hero sub-optimal for a post-game party simply because they can't learn Wild Side? Why would anyone not want to double their actions? Why even re-balance the game if they were just going to break it again with one ability?

>>502950192
it's really a moot question since you can't change it. gotta accept the boy for the way he is, he's just trying his best

>>502950192
Every Wisdom/Magic Seed belongs to Hero, Omniheal is the lifeblood that allows your other 3 characters to do their thug thizzle without worrying about wasting Anger/Beast turns on Healing and you can just let MA and Sage1 do full damage while Hero and Sage2 Heal/Buff

>>502950192
You don't need your entire party taking double actions because it always doubles the one you're taking, leaving it either too slow to set up with many actions or outright dead on others. Hero is eternally relevant for healing and access to unique gear

Dragon Quest Builders 3 with Sage-Chan when?

Trying to decide on my next run. 100% with achievements run, solo hero, or monster wrangler banned

Is it possible to beat Xenlon in 15 or less turns without going all in on optimization in the remake? My postgame party was probably going to be the following because I didn't want to double-up on classes while unlocking the full ability and spell lists:
>Hero
>Thief > Warrior
>Monster Wrangler > Merchant > Martial Artist
>Mage > Gadabout > Sage
My idea was my Warrior being a tank, using Forbearance when other are too low on health or using Sword Dance when in the clear, my Hero using Fullheal or Omniheal as necessary, the new Wild Side Martial Artist cheese, and Channel Anger with my Sage.

>That close to getting a vamp hero
Meh. I'll stick to my blind decision-making. See if I can still pull it off in spite of my choices.

>>502957683
You can patch it up with personality items in the worst case scenario, the game will stat correct after some levels

Seed farm strats? I need to solo Baramos on Draconian. I’ve heard there’s a special reward if you do.

>>502958863
Unless it was changed it the remake, the reward is just a Bastard Sword, which you can already buy in a shop. It's a wholly unnecessary reward.

Does Warrior-chan want anything from Thief besides the speed boost?
I might just feed her a bunch of seeds.

I've got a Thief that's going to go martial artist, but now I'm wondering if I should make her a monster wrangler instead. I originally wanted to make my mage into a wrangler, but I could go back on my no-sage rule and make her that instead.

>>502986947

Honestly I didn't start using Anki until this year, previously I just consumed a lot of material (reading NHK articles and books, playing vidya, listening to podcasts etc.) and making notes of words in a word doc every now and then. I was lucky enough to get to spend time in Japan and then around Japanese people these past two years in particular so by using the language my skill level rose a fair bit, that was more valuable than a lot of my actual study. If you can, getting a tutor or going to a language exchange group is a great idea in my opinion.
Mining has been helping me lately as I'm encountering a lot of words that I guess are common in fantasy stories like DQ, such as 嘆かわしい or 征服(する ), that I hadn't seen before.

>>502998190

makes me wonder if those email exchange things are still a thing, the ones where you basically find a jap that wants to learn your language and you start talking and teaching each other stuff

>>502999047
>time management
if you mean the calendar, and if it's anything like persona (and i'm assuming it is, i have started the game myself but still not at the point where i guess i can manage my time on my own), then you should be able to do everything unless you really do something clearly wrong. I bet the game will keep reminding you about deadlines and stuff anyway, tldr just play normally and you shouldn't have any issues. Same goes for the other stuff, like when it gets to choosing archetypes don't think too much about it cause everything will work just fine. Not that different from DQ i guess, or to go with another Toriyama game like Blue Dragon in fact, metaphor is pretty much just blue dragon

Ah damn anon, but regardless I only went to Japan for the first time last year so that was basically 6 years that I studied in a vacuum. And when I first got there, I was barely able to speak, but if you have the underlying knowledge then it won't be long before you're able to string together increasingly longer sentences. But like >>503000074 alluded to, there are exchange things (not email these days but apps like HelloTalk or iTalki) where you can find a language partner. Beware though, while you do find cute girls there you also find some crazy people, but definitely once you've spent time learning vocab and basic grammar I highly encourage you to give it a shit!

>>503000074
>no kidding, studying is for chumps and autists.
I'm definitely the latter kek but yeah studying in a vacuum is a really dumb idea, the whole purpose of language is to communicate with others (being able to play DQ is a good goal to a certain point though). I have hated having to cram a lot of antiquated and niche grammar structures for this upcoming exam but screw it, the game is the game. I am inclined to agree with you in that practical experience is the best, but it's not like people can just zoom to Japan so I understand people grinding away autistically in secret first.
>makes me wonder if those email exchange things are still a thing
I mentioned those apps before but when I made friends in Japan I ended up exchanging LINE and Instagram, the only issue is that a lot of those guys seem to just resort to Google Translate and aren't really all that interested in learning English in my opinion, and plus it's hard to keep longform chats going over social media these days due to the attention deficit that everybody has now thanks to what the internet has become.

Honestly right now my main priority is to be able to play vidya in full japanese, I'm not worrying too much if I'll be able to talk or not.

Also how many hours did you put in your study a day? I want to be effective but I don't want to burn myself out. What was your routine like?

I am 16 years and definitely not qualified to drive a boat with 3 wives.

At the start (2017-2021-ish I'd say, I was busy with uni back then too) I was pretty undisciplined, but I'd still make a point of watching stuff in Japanese without subs and trying to incrementally build an understanding of speech. I didn't start doing kanji drills until 2021.
Since February 2022 I've been studying every day, and because I was unemployed since April this year I've been doing like 3 hours a day minimum excluding gaming, often more since I set myself the goal of passing N1 this year and had to learn another 1000 jouyou Kanji on top of the 1000-ish I learnt for N3/N2.
When I worked it would still be about 1-2 a day minimum, I'd do kanji drills and reading while at the office and put on Japanese videos while doing mundane office stuff.

>>503004082
That's pretty valid, like I said it's definitely a goal to strive towards. Right now being able to play this game in moonrunes is very cathartic for me.

>>502992843
I've never played a DQ game where Warriors had abilities other than the Fight command and it's still my fave vocation. Love me big weapons and heavy armour.

>>503004265
This may not work for you but my routine is basically:
30 mins Kanji drills (writing challenges, flash card challenges) using an app (Kanji Study) and a bit of writing out for 3 new Kanji a day
30 mins studying grammar from N2-N1
1 hour of reading - includes random articles or a book (been slowly reading Norwegian Woods since last month), I often mine words from articles
Then right now I'm doing practice questions through the Migii JLPT app and grinding Anki flashcards for vocab most of the day
Plus I played like 4 hours of this game today too lol
It is a little extreme and I won't be able to/need to do this pretty soon, like I said a lot of this is due to this N1 exam. Once that's out of the way I'll take a break from JLPT stuff and just do my daily kanji and vocab drills whilst consuming media

I think I've collected literally everything before entering Baramos's Lair. That smelly lizard doesn't know what's coming for him.

A smelly human?

Unironically what's with the DQ localizations and puns? Some are good but they make literally everything a pun.

I'm on postgame. How should I go about tackling Xenlon? Thinking of changing my Warrior to a Thief to get some utility stuff and monster collecting, then to a Monster Wrangler for Beast Mode, then back to Warrior. My female Sage is probably gonna stay Sage, but I'm debating on whether I should change my male Sage or not.

Personalities are Wit, Paragon, Daydreamer (just now changed to Wit), and Genius, respectively.

Examining the mirror in that house in Asham results in different text depending on personality.

How well do you anons know DQ3? Say you were trapped in the room with no internet. How long would it take for you to beat it?

>>503021964
I like to think I have enough common sense to be able to beat it without getting stuck.

>>503016382
Im not a huge fan, but its to match the mid evil aspect of the game. In a world where dq had a normal ass plain text translation (thats how it is in japanese) i could see it criticized for being very bland. Regardless i hate the forced accents, if you’re in esl some of this shit might be a nightmare to read.

>>503021964
The game gives enough hints to where if you stop and think hard enough you’ll eventually get to where you need to be

The Theddon fight is fucking ridiculous.

This is the worst game of Whack-A-Mole invented ever.

what do you think will be added to 1+2? monster arena? extra side quests? after game? id like if 2 had the msx content

>>503024789
I've seen that port on MSX but I didn't know it had unique content. What does it include?

>>503024435
I got lucky as fuck in this fight. Find the swallow boomerang (better then edged boomerang), crackle the yellow dudes, flame breath with monster wrangler if you have them, and idk pray. Its such a retarded fight, killing everything in one turn doesnt work in dq

>>503024789
I'd bet one some form of skill tree system for customization purposes, since they added abilities to IIImake. Midenhall will 100% have an MP meter this time around. I'd like a post-game dungeon or something where Alef joins the Retard TrIIo that unlocks after clearing both games, but I wouldn't count on that. Maybe they'll add Pachisi as an apology for excluding it from III.

Can't decide between party classes.

How much of a grinding autist are you in DQ bros? I admittedly go a bit crazy. Like in DQ6, as soon as I get access to the earliest area with the highest level cap of 99, I try and max out the most beneficial classes on all characters. In the DS versions of DQVII and VIII I abused the fuck out of the tablet system to get Champions/Hero/Druids early in VII and turn camera trick in Trodian for LMS in VIII. I did similar shit in DQIX with hunting liquids in that one tomb in IX as well. Currently, I'm on the slime hill hunting LMS's before Baramos. I guess I like being extremely OP.

>>503016981
>warrior without purple hair
Honestly this is just as bad as Moonbrooke without purple hair

>>503027785
I bumrush bosses at the lowest level possible, and go out of my way to avoid grinding. If I have more than 10MP left among my party at the end of a big fight, I feel unsatisfied.

Pigtails or Chun Li buns for Martial Artist?
Maybe cute hat?
Please, I’ve been stuck on this for the past 30 minutes.

>>503028564
Hat.

>>503027785
I try not to grind overall, but I usually spend a little bit of time at the start of the game building a smallish stockpile of gold. Nothing too big considering drop sizes at the start, obviously.

>>503028564
wait for a mod to make them naked.

the only right answer is buns tho

>>503028564
If this post ends in:
1-3 - Pigtails
4-6 - Buns
7-9 - Cute Hat
0 - Guess you'll have to go with the braid.

So is Lozamii just there for fun?

>>503022491
>a normal ass plain text translation (thats how it is in japanese)
Interesting. I just assumed the names were as punny in Japanese given the Japs seem to enjoy puns and wordplay more than any other culture I know plus the series has a fairly light-hearted tone for the most part.

Two questions.
If a female is charmer does she get the vamp growthrate?
Also I have seen that your party members can talk.
Do their personalities affect their dialogue?

Cringe.

Hero/Merchant/Wrangler/Priest. Good to go or fated to Job?

>>503032337
It's fine the wrangler can use monster pile-on and carry the party

>>503032337
it's pretty decent i think but Monster Wrangler is gets better with how much Monsters you managed to have in your fight club since it learns their moves as well. early game is pretty meh. Merchant is decent and versatile but will fall off after mid game so you better use them for getting money and items. thief is great with boomerangs + whips and has the best speed up there with Martial Artists and Gadabouts. be sure you have somebody to heal you so, the merchant there is the best one for the role with the medical herb spam

>>503032820
Plan to Reclass Merchant as soon as I get the Chance, will make Merchant a Sage and Priest a Warrior but not until I get most of the spells.

man, look at that gold you're getting

Okay finally beat this, got this orb, the Orochi Orb, the Pirate Orb and the Solo challenge Orb, no idea where to get the other two but I guess I'm doing the Menoza part next.

>>503033301
you're through the hardest part already, the dying fires are more dangerous
doing that fight then boss troll with thief/priest/gadabout was hell

Geez, they really started running out of ideas for all these rescue monster locations, huh? The Castle of the Dragon Queen has three. It was already pretty silly some areas had two, but these ones are just sitting outside the castle, impossible to miss. Having 100 monsters to rescue seems like padding at this point, and I've only got 84 of them.

>>503033773
My party is Thief, merchant, Gadabout, 0 reclassing done yet. No party heals was hellish.

>>503034167
that was a huge handicap for me too. I ended up changing the priest to sage before they learned multiheal as well, just couldn't wait any longer and needed more damage
at least got the gadabout to hustle dance before also making her a sage, but that came a little while later

>>503033883
i gave up at 56

>>503032820
wait, i misread priest with thief for some reason. Priest is good too but i'd advise to change to Mage later for extra spells later

is there a skill worth getting for the monster wrangler beyond wild side and boulder toss or can I finally switch out of this shit class

Love my 3 gadabout team bro

omg I just learned you can run in DQ3 HD by holding the B button. Am I a retard or does the game never tell you this?
