Q&A Thosha's playthrough

Crombell

Thosha That's reassuring. Didn't have any Riala cutscene there, too, but meh. Thank you.

Thosha

Crombell I've adjusted it so "talk to Esthera in your room" is more clear

Thosha

ColinHunt That's the one, sorry haven't player first three chapters for a long while

Thosha I do a complete new playthrough from the beginning every time a new update from Sierra Lee comes out. Your playthrough is about the only way I can remember where to go and what to look for consistently.

I'm now in the 'Tower II' section of your guide, having bought the restaurant rather than beautification earlier. The handful of extra ProN I have due to the restaurant has taken me from just below 100k remaining available from this round to just over. I've used that to get the Succubus armourer early (if my math is right I won't miss any of your future purchases by doing this, partly since I won't be spending on the restaurant in Tower IV). Not sure if there might be better options.

Thosha

Named not really since all essential purchases were able to be made. But it is nice to have some extra PRon. Losing the stats on Simon sucks though.

Named

Thosha I kept the cache for the stats, this was solely by replacing beautification (and the 20k unused at that point) with the restaurant in that round. I believe the net effect comes to 145k extra by the end of chapter 4 (75k saved on the purchase of the restaurant, 4 extra rounds of 10k income from it, three rounds of 10k income from the early purchase of the Succubus armourer). I'm presuming the earlier purchases are only useful for ProN. Not Arclent shattering but it can't hurt.

Thosha

Sounds like a net profit, I already had it written down, didn't update the guide though since that would mean I would have to play through the whole game again just to have correct savefiles.
Will do it once the game is fully released

Thosha Thanks again for the guide, astonishing amount of work this must have taken. The checkpoint values in particular have been very useful as a check of whether I've missed anything. I'm currently a little ahead on Simon XP since I sparred rather than trained Nalili at the end of his route, a fair bit behind on Sx due to equipment purchases, a couple of points of RP short where I must have missed a conversation.

Thosha

Named all the others are not really bad, you can do that as you please, however, what RP are you missing? These are often used. I'm glad my guide can help you ^^

Thosha Riala was only 98 after tower III, so I didn't get her synergy with Yarra that section. The error might have been earlier, I haven't been checking RP every time.

Edit: at 'after tower depths, after investments': also Lynine 77 (-2), Varia 99 (-1). I don't think either is critical.

Thosha

Named don't think so no, some interactions will probably be later (like locking their RP) so make sure you do those

Just finished chapter 4, can confirm +150k at the end of the chapter by taking the restaurant in Chapter 3 and then the Succubus armourer in round 2 Chapter 4. I had 40k extra in hand at Kyangan (so over 70k available) so there might have been further room to make a more expensive investment prior to that as well.

Not sure if the Chapter 3 restaurant can be combined with J4link's adjustment.

Phoenexis

Will getting Yarra’s Pin mess up anything? I think I’m short on anti-sexbind items for the Carnal Entities. Oh, and, can I just sell the Strange Gold? Doesn’t seem like it does anything…

ColinHunt

Phoenexis My preference is always to take Yarra's pin. You have a chance to get two further Liquid Sex items later on: one in 2nd Gathering and one in Incubus War aftermath.

EternalObserver

Phoenexis There's little reason the believe the Strange Gold is for anything but selling for cash. That is explicitly what the game tells you to do with it afterall. Yarra's Pin is indeed pretty good for that fight, and if you play your cards right you can make both of the Custom items that take Liquid Sex and still have one left over for presumably something else down the line, so may as well if it's useful.

Thosha

Phoenexis Yes and yes. Strange Gold is probably just given to players for extra cash and Liquid Sex is used probably only to create good items. I just like to hoard stuff and not use it, but these 2 are indeed good choices.
If no further uses arise at the final release I will recommend selling the strange gold as well as using the liquid sex.

Phoenexis

This is partly a question and partly a suggestion. Apparently, you can get a wingjob (yeah apparently that can be a thing) from Biyue. Is this something I should have avoided or just something not mentioned?

ColinHunt

Phoenexis It happens only in Investment Cycle 6 after the return from Eustrin. It's a large investment "Zirantia Infrastructure Improvement" for 2.5 million. It has a rather large effect on Zirantia, Economy and Social scores. It's likely one of the necessary major expenditures to be done to get through the Incubus War Aftermath in good shape.

Thosha

Phoenexis no problem, don't worry, like Colin said it is a reward for a big investment (2500k). The investment was made to increase Zirantia country score and because of the cutscene (which might indicate its importance for future updates).

Phoenexis

ColinHunt I'm aware of the investment, I did it. I just want to make sure the wingjob itself doesn't mess with anything since a missable sexual encounter like that would usually be mentioned in the walkthrough and it, for whatever reason, wasn't.

Battlewarrior

ColinHunt I wouldn't say it's necessary, per se. As long as fleet: order is on and Esthera helps Zirantia, Zirantia should be a-ok without that investment.

Phoenexis the wingjob itself doesn't bring any mechanical disadvantages, as far as I understand.
