Link for ver 0.68

A lot of simple and cosmetic changes this time. The big one is the EoSD sidequest. Clearing it on Phantasm will yield the set items for the characters that correspond in the classes. If you are lucky, you might even get their reward charm. It's a very simple side area but it should be quite challenging, even on Normal /players 1.

Saves should carry over, but if you have Yuyuko's reward charm from the last version, you'll need to ditch it as the item code for it got changed.

Under which conditions does Unzan crash the game for you?

Phantasm EoSD is even harder and that will be just right .

Could you also tell me exactly what you see when fighting Cirno, Meiling and Remilia? What skills they use/have and their AI.

Edit: Nobody told me Table Turning doesn't look awesome anymore :/

Okay, looks like they all have their skills working fine. Only blip is Cirno not having any attacks that can release her charge-ups. It's kinda lame if I have to give her Minamitsu's skill instead.

Stack size limits are a minor inconvenience :V

I suppose I forgot to give the Underground Passage Level 2 its regular monsters again.

Anyone have feedback for me on Patchouli's skills? I think Silent Selene is pretty strong. I'm thinking of lowering its max damage and adding a weapon damage component. It should improve the strength of melee-Fairy builds.

:just as planned: :V

100% curse reduction gives immunity to curses.

I'll need to correct Idaten's tooltip. The bounces are capped at 5 now.
Edit: it's 5 bounces at level 1 and then 1 more bounce every 5 levels.

Edit2: Cold Snap shouldn't be on the item. Wrong skill reference.

did any one try one byakuren build? the increased hp and def based on max mana doesnt work at all i think (at lvl 6 i maxed out all my bombs and put 1 point in each skill).
miko reimu aura was hax against mobs but kinda suck when fighting boss because they werent knocked back, but its a good thing u nerf it.

i have a alice/yuyuko lvl 75, it is quite OP with the Flowery Soul "Butterfly Delusion" + shanghai dolls, let the dolls tank and keep spamming the skill, it is like eirin apollo 13 but the cast speed is faster and cost less mana, with 1 point in Subtle Melody "Repository of Hirokawa -Divine Soul-" i never ran out of mana
that build is quite relaxable on lunatic with player8.

also, yuyuko last aura doesnt work i think, i turned it on and stand right next to a red kedama, its hp doesnt drop or degen; hourai dolls' damage doesnt scale with stats and its being range made it less useful than shanghai
does difficulty afffect my dolls resistance? they got a resistant of 68 right now according to the skill tooltip.

anyway, keep up with hard work.

I just started, but I have to say I very much enjoy the concept and flavor. Bravo.

The game is being weird with skill references. Like they're all 1 less than the skill I'm aiming for.
Found the cause. The fixed base files had an extra skill and caused an overlap with my skills' reference numbers.

Send me your save file so I can go see the crash. It doesn't crash on Normal or Lunatic?

Gonna test if the problem is with missing equipment.

Edit: fixed and beat them

Added the suggestions. It also occurred to me that I don't have any unique jewellery in the game. Derp me :V

I meant rings and amulets for jewellery but we also don't have any unique jewels so I'll think about some of them.

I'm actually thinking of making runewords more flexible. It should be like a source of oskills. They can only be made in items outside of the girl's class. This lets a Brawler have access to Fairy's skills if they want to have some variety. But being a cross-class access to the skill, it will suffer from never having much more than maybe 100 in unique stat synergy. So with that, I think I'll re-enable jewels to spawn with +stat but the scaling for them will be heavily restricted.

I like that, go for it. I would also like to see one unique ring per class with their special stat on it. But maybe that will be too much. However, with rare rings and amulets in the end game now, you just have them for massive stat bonuses and covering resistance gaps.

Also, having a jewel which increases damage massively at the cost of attack speed could make the classes which spells are affected by weapon damage quite strong, not 100% certain though.

Grudge Bow scales hilariously bad with putting more stat points in it.

Butterfly Delusion is very strong, as it spawns so many extra butterflies at high levels. But if it was a level 64 skill it would be ok, as it isn't stronger than Final Judgment with a decent weapon or anything, just easier to use.

The craziest thing just happened to my warlock, you know that I said the high council dropped a cube for my hunter before? Yeah it happened again. Do you know how you cannot put the cube inside itself? Yeah but if you have 2 cubes, and you have both in your inventory, you can open the first and then put the second inside the first, and then put the first cube inside the second cube that is inside the first. Close the cube and THEY ARE BOTH GONE!

And even after save and exiting no new cubes could be found, not in the tombs and not from the high council.

Thankfully I could send the spare cube from the hunter and when I opened it on the warlock both the old cubes were already inside :V

Screenshot or it didn't happen :V

A key thing to remember about jewels is that you can always stick multiples into an item. For that, their bonuses need to be very low to keep things balanced.
