== | ==Ocean== | ||
You're now free to explore the wide ocean and its islands and shoreline; use the world map to find your way around. There are random monsters on the ocean unlike the inland sea in the eastern continent. The toughest of these monsters is Corbett; two of these can easily wipe out your party. The monsters on the islands and shoreline vary from place to place and range from extremely easy to shockingly difficult. So if you decide to go exploring be sure to save often and escape when necessary. | |||
If you travel to the edge of the map then you wrap around to the opposite edge in typical vintage video game fashion. This can be a useful shortcut if you want to get from one side of the map to the other. | |||
There are two optional towns you can visit now; it's highly recommended you do so because of items and spell available there. The order given here is arbitrary. | |||
==Easterly Village== | |||
Land on the northwest corner of the western continent, cross a bridge if necessary to a small island to reach Easterly Village. Talk to the villagers to pick up gossip; some of them mention a waterfall that won't be reachable until later on. There is also some talk about an old man in the forest to the east. | |||
Rest at the inn near the entrance for 30GP. The Item shop next door has the usual inventory; for some reason there is a secret passage to the right of the counter but it doesn't seem to lead to anything interesting. There are no new weapons here; in fact there's no weapon shop at all. So go to the armor shop behind the inn; this offers three very expensive rings. You can't buy on credit so you'll probably have to save up and come back if you want them. There is a man at the end of the room you can tell you what the rings do for you. The Magic shop is across the bridge to the east and has the same Time spells that were in Karnak. | |||
Go to the patch of flowers on the hill northwest of the armor shop. Make a complete loop through the flowers to startle a frog that was sleeping in the middle. The frog leaves the "Toad" spell behind, this is a B. Mage version of the BlueMage spell ToadSong which you may already have. | |||
Finally, cross the bridge to the east and another one behind the magic shop to find the sheep pasture. (One of the sheep here is actually not a sheep. For a bit of fun, see if you can find it.) Go to the west side of the field and locate the ram that's standing still in the corner. Approach from behind and talk to him; this will startle him so much that he kicks you over the fence to a woody area north of the pasture. Talk to the minstrel here, tell him you're trying to save the crystal (of course) and you learn "Love Song". You don't have a Job that can use it yet but that will change soon. Follow the path east to exit town. | |||
==Crescent== | |||
When you enter this island and the city, the first civilian will panic from an earthquake. When you exit the city (and there's not much else you can do now), you will see your ship sink. When you return, Cresent is back to normal. There are a few new weapons and items, which are meant for upcoming jobs. | When you enter this island and the city, the first civilian will panic from an earthquake.
