@Kristia

Ahh boy, what inspires people to write weird fanfics about relationships with inanimate objects?

I needed the laugh.

[SUSTIC]

Ah crap ran out of Stamina in Elsword for my Weapon Taker :/

[Kristia]

hm.. there are too many couples in touhou

although ZUN is close to admit the first oficial one, guess who they are :P

[S121]

@Kristia

Which ones?





@SUSTIC

What does stamina do in Elsword?

[Kristia]

Marisa and Alice in a voting since atleast 3 years they are the most popular pairing

http://es.touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Alice_Margatroid

"Zun en una entrevista dijo que en los últimos 3 aņos Alice y Marisa han sido la pareja mas votada y mas querida lo cual, la haría la primera pareja oficial de touhou."

so yeah, they are pretty much the most famous pairing

Stamina is basically a way to limit how much dungeons you can run in a day. Every morning at 5 or so Stamina is refilled for everyone.

When you run out of stamina you can't run dungeons or gain EXP from enemies. Meaning all you can really do is grind for money by killing enemies in the field or so.
I don't mind stamina, and the plus is you get quite a bit of it which could last someone half an entire day of nonstop playing or so. If you run a dungeon with other players your stamina would go down much slower, but I usually prefer to run dungeons on my own.

On weekends everyone gets unlimited stamina which is nice. It just gets annoying when you are working on a quest chain (say for example the series of quests you have to do to become the Veteran Commander and you are halfway finished with the FINAL QUEST IN THE SERIES) and you run out of stamina at the very final quest in the chain.

Luckily though if you run out of stamina when you are in a dungeon you will still be able to finish the dungeon, and still obtain the EXP until you finish the dungeon. Then after you finish a dungeon you will not be able to go back into any dungeons until you get stamina back.

Also luckily they had a major field update during the summer meaning there are actual fields were you can encounter monsters and grind for money and random items to craft health items and such. Also recently they added the field bosses to fields meaning after a while of spending time in the field a boss will spawn and everyone can attack.

There are pretty nice rewards for defeating field bosses (like field boss souls which can be exchanged at the NPC Ariel for certain items and stuff.)

You can also get field boss cubes which contain different items like magic stones (which when you equip a piece of equipment with a magic stone it gains a permanent extra stat bonus like say +37 attack speed or +45 attack), and El Shards (which are different elemental stones which if you have enough you can go to an alchemist to use them to enchant gear. Weapons gain an element like say poison to poison enemies, while clothing gains resistance to that element.)

Over all even without stamina there is plenty to do. I guess I can set up a small shop in the market and hope people will by some of my gear. I'm looking to sell my old Nasod Miners Raven equipment set which if you have the full set equipped you get:

+100 Physical Defense
-100 Magical Defense

+400 Physical Offense
-400 Magical Offense

As well as I believe a added resistance to the wind element.

@Kristia

Well damn, you're right. Wow. That's a first in Touhou.

I'm surprised.




@SUSTIC

Ahh, so it's similar to those Facebook games when it comes to stamina.

[SUSTIC]

Not only that but you can have more than one character in Elsword like other MMO's and stamina isn't shared between characters (yay, and yay for new Raven Weapon Taker Profile Pic)

[S121]

@SUSTIC

Ahh, I see. So it's more like a hybrid stamina system, taking different elements from different games.

That makes me want to play MMOs like Dead Frontier again.

[Kristia]

nice picture sus

im still thinking the many theories that the characters have like Sakuya being a lunarian or a similar case as a Youkai like Alice

[SUSTIC]

Well if you ever decide to check out Elsword keep an eye out for me, my two main characters are named SUSTIC (go figure) who is a Lvl 44 Blade Master, and ShadowFox14 which is a level 36 Weapon Taker, soon to be Veteran Commander. I also have a Over Taker, but he is on my other account which I don't really use (I made a second account for Elsword so I can have more characters. Normally you only have 4 slots for characters, but you could buy more character slots and get up to a total of 9 slots for characters if you buy the slots with actual money. I cheated and made a second account which I don't really use anymore, and I gave it to a friend of mine.)

[S121]

@Kristia

I did hear about the Youkai Alice one, but I don't know the full details.

Can you fill me in?




@SUSTIC

I'll keep that in mind.

In the meantime, the MMO I'm currently interested in is Minecraft. (Not really an MMO, but close. Probably a mini-MMO.)

[SUSTIC]

Well just saying just in case you do decide to play Elsword.

[Kristia]

actually Alice is a Youkai because of her grimmoire, it gave her the powers and life span of one of them. Sakuya may be a Youkai, since she acts as a bigger aged person instead of a teenager, controlling time like in a case were she blossomed bambu flowers, those take many years for that.

now there is a theory with the time controlling maid.

In many of the official works were she appears, it is told that she acts more mature than her age shows to be of a 16-20 years old woman, also, why if she is a mere human, can control time? where did she got her lunar dial? also in imperishable night if I remember, when she meets Eirin/Kaguya, the lunarians are actually surprised to meet Sakuya.

That is a theory about her, being a Lunarian, then add Remiliaīs powers of fate bending to meet her. So yeah, its pretty deep.

And letīs donīt forget the hinted rellationship Sakuya and Remilia have with eachoter in both the games and fanservice, therefor the posibility of becoming a vampire is also an open path

[SUSTIC]

I think I just realized one of my favorite stage themes from Elsword.

Moonlight's Rhythm:

What do you all think of it? I believe it plays on any dungeon that takes place at night.
