You can warp to towns but if you're looking for a shard, you'd just be wandering aimlessly. There's also no names on the map, it's literally just a map. The dots that indicate cities are tiny to the point where they may as well not be there. I don't mind grinding whatsoever but the map system in the game is straight up awful, it's borderline useless.

Gabo: Shepherd - Thief - Tamer - Warrior - Dancer (for Sworddanc) Fighter - Dragoon - Cleric - Paladin - Godhand - Hero Hero: Warrior - Dancer (for Sworddanc) - Mage - Ranger - Cleric - Sage - Fighter - Paladin - Hero **You Should be level 20-21 when you reach Litorud and will probably have spent 5-6 hours grinding.** Gabo at that point should be working on Warrior/Dancer for Sword Dance. Go and do the next area and when you're done with that, grind until Mary can select Teen Idol, another intermediate class. Once Mage is mastered, you can then select an intermediate class, Ranger.įor Maribel, master Bard, if it isn't already, and then change her class to Jester. You'll want to grind out of weaker classes as you progress, that way you can tackle challenging bosses with relative ease**Īfter you're done with Dune, if Hero hasn't mastered Mage, master it. A mage is going to have high MP but lower HP and defense, etc. **Changing classes causes your stats to flucuate. Gabo needs to learn Shepherd -> Thief -> Tamer -> Dancer/Warrior (Sword Dance) You're gonna want Sword Dance, trust me.** You won't be able to leave once you're in the dengeon. **Learn Sword Dance with Hero and Maribel before you go into the Dune dungeon.

You can only obtain Sword Dance if you do Warrior -> Dancer (or vice versa), back to back, each has to be a minimum of level 5. Do the same for Maribel but put her as Dancer first and max that out, then only go to level 5 for Warrior. You'll unlock Sword Dance as a result, a skill that has 4 hits that deal roughly 70-75% attack power damage to all monsters (all monsters meaning any monster on screen, doesn't matter if they're the same type of monster or not DQ fans know what I'm talking about). Took me 25), grind until Hero has maxed out Warrior and obtained level 5 in Dancing, you don't need to max out dancing. Once you gain the ability to change classes (20-25 hours in.
