DukeLeto7 Qum Points 15+

DukeLeto7 Qum +69

I wonder why 69, it's such a big gap compared to 14-12 and 11-8. I cannot fathom what SL was thinking. Really.

As usual, thank you for your hard work!

God have mercy on our souls;

DukeLeto7 Access exit to "half-assed" waiting room at bottom left after disabling 5 crystals.

It seems like this isn't a hard requirement anymore.

DukeLeto7

Edited with enemy and item info.

DukeLeto7

Edited to include Enchanter's enhancements.

DukeLeto7

Edited to note very important trait of Manawing.

Battlewarrior

DukeLeto7 There goes my Robin-spam-lances strategy.

DukeLeto7

Battlewarrior I think the most sensible party for the dungeon might be Simon + Aka + Riala + Altina

Battlewarrior

DukeLeto7 I don't have early patreon access, so I'm still waiting for the public release. Kind of make me wonder though: if one harem quest is released every update, and everyone gets their own quest ... how many updates do we get before the final battle?

DukeLeto7

I don't want to speak for Sierra on the topic, but I think the current slow pace is partly due to the recent Once Ever After release, which would mean the quests per update will pick up again as the year goes on.

ForceofNature

There is also the whole... familial situation of hers. Which is absolutely understandable and fair, if that has contributed to the slowdown.
Remember kids! Mental health is important. Don't skip steps in the grieving process to get back to work, because you'll feel the effects of all non-processed trauma going forward.

DukeLeto7

Edited for 0.61.1.

Not a whole lot going on here.

The creatures I named "Giant Miniature Woolly Guinea Pigs" are in fact called "wolloths". SL's decision to clarify that certainly had nothing to do with my coinage.
The Orcent bar conversation got some edits.
The Ghenalese Soldier teacher candidate now requires that you actually DID research in Ghenalon during Wynn's Quest in order for him to appear.
Qum comments that the vacant site at the Outskirts is not suitable for her school.
The Endless Lust miniboss now has a "Counterattack Rate" of 100%. ~~Someone else can figure out if that applies when it's dominated.~~

Also, note for @Fulminato the +2 New Givini score given by the best Wynn's Quest outcome in the Hall of Mental Strength gives +2 Tak'Kan instead as of 0.61.1.

QiQi I wonder why 69, it's such a big gap compared to 14-12 and 11-8. I cannot fathom what SL was thinking. Really.

More than likely you already have a maxed out Qum or the 10 points you gain would fix it. so you don't need more points. Basically it is a little joke

Battlewarrior

QiQi God have mercy on our souls;

SL has mercy upon Simon and friends. But it's probably the good old toxin or nothingness, which while are a pain in the rear aren't unmanagable.

DukeLeto7

QiQi FYI, this was the exchange I had on Patreon with Sierra on the +69 RP:

DL7: The maximum Qum RP for completing the quest is +69. It's nice that you've helped Elon Musk land on his feet after the Twitter fiasco by outsourcing code writing to him.

SL: I'll have you know that number was an extremely serious decision based on critical game balance.

The_Scoutman

Unless I'm misunderstanding something and/or sparing the LoB's lamias is something that you don't do in an optimized playthrough (haven't charted the Incubus War yet), do you just choose as teachers the Orc, the Zirantian Tradionalist, and the Tatseni Tutor for the complimentary country scores?

Also I sure hope we can name the school "The Qum Dum'pe Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too."

Also I sure hope we can name the school "The Qum Dum'pe Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too."

I'll sign a petition for this.

I created a section on the wiki for Qum's Request based on this forum post. Thanks for your hard work!

I haven't touched anything else in this update yet so I haven't looked at anything else. Others are welcome to contribute if they wish.

DukeLeto7

Cazador It might not ever have been. I was looking more carefully at Qum's quest than the Philon dungeon.

Cazador

DukeLeto7 Well, there's an "if" statement when leaving the dungeon that checks for it, but both branches are the same atm.

DukeLeto7

Cazador Give me SOME credit, man. I verified that before replying to you. 🙂
