If you want to have plan for taking game
efficiently-concentrate on cooking
corn sandwiches first. Corn both grain and vegetable, so you can bake cornbread and stuff it with corn aswel. Why? Corn is the only item which slows down roulette, with that you can pinpoint what you want, quality and quantity(it let's you to harvest tree/ore materials on will too and all you need is 50%(more is possible) slow down for human reflexes). You can get corn from "sweetness" chest drops. From ver 0.23 it's possible to gain 600 coins to
buy lunch box in prologue-you can do tutorial "VIP room" for 340 coins(need 1 coal and 1 water for both) and collect 150-160g from chest and pickups. Fetch some materials to sell for 100-120g and voi la, you have corn bread corn sandwich(or just huge loaf of corn bread) prepared in lunch box for later. With that concentrate on fetching good materials(monster's skin, coal, glass shards,
, dry grass, amethyst, corn, broccoli, onion, turnip) and selling worthless(all others, for now. After you hit 1k gold,
stop selling). Buy enhancer-overcharger slots, Ankh of Grazia, cooking recipes, pepper(not green or bell, just pepper) and high quality ingredients of choice(like eggs or meat?). Since you can store your cornfood for later, you can start cooking "battle" foods at the start of day and have roulette slowing when you need. You can get more lunch boxes, but they gonna take inventory slots too and not so needed(do if you want to). With that, you prepared for everything, stat wise.
Battle tip 1: sometimes casting your mightiest spell is not what's best. You can solve a lot of hard battles with just your first arrow spell, cause it has decent damage, knockback and speed of cast, so you can
spam it. If enemy too fast for it to hit, just charge it in your staff and go melee-much more control and quadruples damage +even if you changed your mind to shot it instead, it's cast going to be already prepared(just don't let them hit you, it nulls cast while charged in stuff).
Battle tip 2:
shielding here is VERY situational, you'll find using
jump and dodge much, MUCH more often,
parry is good though and can deflect projectiles, push away enemies and just smooth, but you need to search for it.
Battle tip 3: after completing tutorial you will get
trip mine spell with which you can entrap arena BEFORE battle for 2 casts. Make use of "breaking plant to trigger battle" for refreshing what you lost for 2 traps and charging 3rd spell in staff. And lastly:
save often in minimum 2 slots-casual and autosave, gonna help a lot in learning mob movements patterns and strats.
