Hi, i've been enjoying the game and got some more questions.
1.Is the tainted Dawnsword safe to use? it seem a bit too powerful compared to other weapons
2. I'm guessing we can fix the Dawnsword down the line? any tips on how to do it?
3.Do we actually need to pay our mercenary that guards the town?
4.is the Emily tax permanent after the event? any way to stop the tax?
Thanks
1. Yes
2. Complete Bianca/Gavina questline to a point where you stand infront of a special forge and have special dust from a battle just before reaching it. Also make damn sure to have high Forging skill, check Character Status-> scroll down to Attributes and Skills. Not sure what it requires, but 55 would insure success.
You increase Forging when making weapons and armor at John's forge, note if it increase and keep making that weapon or armor till it doesn't, then move on to the next "tier" so to speak.. Copper->Bronze->Silver->Iron etc..
Also note the difference in resources needed to make one, for weapons Dagger uses the less.
You can sell the ones you don't need btw for extra money
3. Yes but if you saved one of Lyvia's soldiers, he will guard the town for free so you only use/pay for 4 Merchs there.
4. After Emily's house has been made into an Orphanage and the Quest: Emily's Indepence is completed, all her taxes stops, or rather.. is paid by the Church.
However.. should she missed payments enough to have begged the Baron too many times, and thus be forced into doing certain things.. before quest completion.. I'm not sure if that ends.. so if you don't want that, be sure to pay her taxes on time until you complete that quest line
5. If you ment Penny instead of Emily, then her taxes never stops as far as I know, but you can make sure she has a steady income, just takes a lot of farm work

Tip for that: When you got her chickencoop, make sure 1 rooster is in it, otherwise the females won't produce eggs. When you harvest eggs, notice the small box left of the coop, place the eggs in there and Penny makes profit from them.
Always make sure she has enough flour to bake with is also a way to make sure she gets a surplus income.
If she falls behind, you can break into her save box and put more gold into her savings until she earns more than taxes, to avoid escalating alternative payment ways
Edit: To see how many days before any tax is due, go to it's quest info, clicking it can also put that quest info on upper left side so you can keep close track without forgetting when you get caught up in adventuring. This useful if you want to see a tax outcome, cuz the screen notification sometimes is a bit fast if your mind is "elsewhere"

You can only have one quest shown in upper left corner at a time btw, so micro manage at your own lessure
