Yesterday I finished this cute game. I've said it lots of times; nothing special. But how much I loved the sprites of my character, God only knows.
This is not a review. I wouldn't be in the mood for that. But, at the beginning it was quite hard to find money, buy items and all things like that and I thought about sharing some tips. Monetary tips.
a. How many potions and drugs have I to buy?
Don't waste your money buying those things at the shop; it's useless. Often you would even have too many of them, without ever buying one. If you need one that desperately, do a previous dungeon again and the monsters will drop lots of them. However, if you have at least from six to ten of each, I recommend to go for the next Abyss. For a boss, instead, less than ten is a suicide (but 10 are perfect).
b. I'm in one of the first three dungeons and I desperately need that expensive sword (any weapon or battle item, seriously)! How can I do?
There are multiple ways to go. First, before getting a new item, check the new dungeon and its elemental power. You wouldn't do a fire dungeon with a FIRE sword, would you? Next, if you just need it:
you can sell everything you have, even your soul and your sister, praying that after the money will be enough. And, to get new free items, check the "a" question. But it's a great loss of time and I don't recommend this. Instead, some mosters even drop weapons and it often happened to me to buy one and after getting it by killing enemies. Make sure this won't happen before purchasing! And, use which bosses drop. See the last section for this. Summarizing: weapons, armors and rings by killing random monsters and bosses. As for potions. Easy, fast and free.
c. My money is never enough! Would it be better to do an economy course?
Yeah, maybe in rl. But in this game not, I ended it with still 600000 coins! Doing the first dungeons, it seems like money is few and prices high. It's like that just for Abyss 1, maybe 2. Rewards after bosses are huge, if you've used the first two advices now you would have saved some money, so you will always have all the cash that you need. BASICAL THING: if you have found "eye of the Abyss", "sapphire", "feather of the monster" and such, sell them. All items you can't use as equipment, to restore life/magic or to exit a dungeon are pretty useless. Even antidotes, I never used them.
d. What does bossed drop?
Haha, you've came here from the b tip, did you? Anyway, there's a small list. I didn't insert monsters' names, just numbers, because it wouldn't be fun to discover otherwise.

The last boss doesn't give you anything, but the Queen gives you a ring. It makes stats better.
