Can i have Fun without Min/Max ?_?

[montiblanc]

Thinking of returning to the game, but i just cant stand inventory/item management or trying to figure out how to stat/not having free reset for stats if it blocks my progress...those things just not fun to me ~_~

What you guys think? Edit: i cant seem to change controls wtf...dont tell me i still cant change controls o_0

Edit: I'm in the game, my inventory is full, im overwhelmed by item management...dont remember how to manage items or what to do, can any1 help me ?_?

What do you mean by Min/Max? If you mean optimization, then yes you don't need to have an absolute perfect build with absolute perfect gear. Mediocre gear will serve you well if you have the player skill to support it. That said, you can't really run around with absolutely dreadful gear, unless you want to spend an hour doing each dungeon.

You don't really need to manage your inventory? In fact, this game allows you to hold far more items than most others... If your inventory is full of common drops, then it's pretty straight forward; sell what you can't get easily. There also is a free stat reset.

If you already chose a weapon, then you shouldn't really need to reset again assuming you know how the stats work =|

No, you can't change controls, sadly.

think i have to make new character to learn what items i should hold on to/what to do with what items...

Edit: is there an item management guide for this game somewhere?
Edit: i feel overwhelmed by item management, im just gonna go, sorry to waste your time, game looks too dam old/dated for me anyway ._.

Again, I don't understand what you mean by item management being difficult... A guide can literally be done in like 100 words.

1. Never dissolution magatama wihtout checking if people want them
2. NPC any white drops that you think you can get again without much difficulty. If you're not sure, NPC it anyways.
3. NPC any blue drops you think you can get again without much difficulty. If you're not sure, hold on to it.
4. Favorite the weapons you want to keep, NPC the rest

I'm pretty sure this is just straight forward common sense.

Man i keep feeling the itch to play the game, but as soon as i get in & try, i feel the itch to leave & uninstall, wtf is going on...i feel like installing again ~_~

By item management i mean making room, saving items for quests, crafting, breaking, combining, etc. i vaguely remember often selling things only to notice i need them later & feeling like shit doubting anything i want to sell u,u

Thats why i was asking for some kind of guide for which items to save & how to manage items/make the best use of them ._.

The only advice we can tell you is get rid of the items you dont want, favorite or store to Shizuka if you need... If you think you absolutely need it, keep it. I find it hard to make a full on guide telling each detail how to do item management.

But if you really need one, ill just say it here:

1. Sell any item you dont want to Miroku. (For magatamas, you dissolve using Kaguya.)
2. Keep items you want like the said Quest Items or the intended Gold ??? Weapons you gain from dungeons.
3. If you want to craft Magatamas, look up the items online at the Onigiri Wiki and try to farm for them.
4. Storage. Shizuka can store more things based on your friendship level to her.
5. Smelting: try to keep weapons of the same name.
6. Enhancement: Get weapons with min lvl req thats similar to the target weapon you want enhanced.
7.Repair: You lose durability if your weapon completely breaks. Higher chance to raise weapon durability if you have lots of durability. (Sometimes likes to troll and give you bad rep for some reason)
8. Item Durability: Losses durability per attack or skill. Higher rank the skill, more durability loss.
9. Magatama Dissolution: Dissolve any magatamas that you think are useless. (A magatama with R10+ Skill Force is worthless right now)
10. Profit?!?!?

EDIT: Added #5-9

There should be a quest sidebar on the right of your screen that says what stuff you can get, or you can press ESC>Partners>Quests. Clicking on the quests tell you what you need to do for each quest.

How to know if its the crafted material is based on Yoshitsune's Weapon Smith option. If you double-click the item you want to craft, it shows the weapons or materials needed to craft.

Edit: i cant seem to change controls wtf...dont tell me i still cant change controls o_0

I find using keyboard and mouse to play quite easy... Are you using a controller?

EDIT: Added quotes and extra text.

u mean i can view future quest items ahead of time or u mean viewing what i need after i get the quests? I'm not just talking about partner quests, i mean all quests including sidequests from NPCs.

bleh i dont even remember anything...as for controls, no they are not easy to use because i would have to constantly stop moving to press or switch things, very bad, very detrimental to combat.

In tera i can bind 20 hotkeys to the mouse---> Mouse Left/Right/Mid/Thumb1/Thumb2, thats 5. Hold Shift/Alt/Ctrl + those mouse clicks turns into 15 hotkeys. very useful.

The sidebar shows the future quests you can do, and the one (ESC>Story>Quests) shows the whole list of quests that you accepted. (Main Quests, Sub Quests, Partner Quests, etc.)

As for stop moving to press or switch things, do you mean you are moving and having that half-second switch of weapons, or did you stop just to press F and move LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN to switch them?
