I wonder if those level recommendations were ever adjusted to reflect the SA update. Might be something I'll go through later and check because I love me some math.

>Let There Be Light is recommended to level 5s
>Features two enemies of equal strength to the boss of Long Live The Queen
>Also features suffering dice debuffs from the darkness
>Long Live The Queen is recommended to level 8s
 

If I didn't know better, I'd say this game is trying to kill us!

oh right, i forgot i was gonna do this. Well I've time, so let's gooooo do that now.

Change Calming The Soul to level 1-5, because when you grandmaster a weapon skill (And reach T2 gear), the damage of the inner demons will be like this.

Dagger

1st: 52

2nd: 69

3rd: 104

4th: 156

One Handed Straight Sword

1st: 36

2nd: 48

3rd: 72

4th: 107

One Handed Curved Sword

1st: 36

2nd:48

3rd:72

4th: 107

Rapier:

1st: 46

2nd: 61

3rd: 91

4th: 137

And let's also not forget how much of a ****storm this is gonna be if Zelrius was still alive and took it.

Dual Blades:

1st: 87

2nd: 117

3rd: 176

4th: 263

And considering he doesn't have any mitigation, that last demon would probably kill him if he rolled a one.

^ Well that's just not fair. I'd be narrowing people's paths. Let people do it whenever they want.

I'm working on simulating all the quests with builds in intervals of 5 levels up to 40, so I should have a pretty good idea of how the quests pan out. It'll just take a while.

Awesome! :D I can wait. Just let me know when it's done so I can update these. :)

People doing it whenever they want could get them killed, and we don't want that.

If Zel were to take it... He'll probably prepare for it... not just go all rambo. The stats are all there, people can decide if they want to take it or not. Let them do the math.

[Vectis 0]

What I'm saying is that some people DON'T do the math and some people DON'T prepare. The fourth demon will kill a lightly armored player who grandmastered their weapon skill in about, two to three hits. And then they're gone, no healing item can save them from that. Doing it at lower levels using thorns armor is much safer, in fact, there's almost no chance of death at all if you do it around my level with only 1 perfect piece of equipment (With 2 slots thorns and 1 mitigation).

Honestly, I don't even know why I'm arguing with you. I'm following the quest recommendations. Got a problem with it? Talk to the GMs. They're the ones that approved it.

*Grabs popcorn to count the amount of deaths from the "Calming The Soul" quest*

[B0nse 0]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't die in Calming The Soul. Not only does the quest seem to exist solely in some mindspace relative to Sao's reality, imposed onto the player, but the flavor text seems to indicate that death in Calming wont actually kill. 

 

Quote

Here four doors present themselves behind the shadow like creature, each one custom made to the player in design possibly depicting a symbol or image with significance to them. The figure lowers its hand and signals the player to enter the doors at their own pace. Upon choosing a door you  must face your inner demons and prove your might, each demon proving more difficult than the one before. When entering the doors an entirely new room is found, each one's layout depending on the demon being faced. After a demon is defeated the player will exit the room and can rest before engaging the next one, if you are incapable of continuing however your mind will begin to unravel and your fears will cast you out of the space and back into reality causing the quest to fail. Failing will not only cost you the rewards but can even cost a person's mind, or at the very least part of it.

The only way one could truly be incapiable of continuing is if their HP was 0, the way I see it. Granted, losing the quest makes you go insane? But that isn't nessicarily death. This is outside the topic of difficulty levels, however.

Actually B0nse that's in regards to whether you choose to continue the quest or not when you're in an interval of rest. If you hit 0 HP then you're done and gone just like any other quest.

Hey @Takao, did you ever get a chance to re-evaluate those recommended levels? xD

[Takao 0]

Not yet, it proved to be a lot more work than originally intended. I'll be working on it on and off for a while, but I can't promise any specific time frame.

Cool cool. Take your time. Just lemme know when you get it finished so I can just update it. :D

They were actually, based off honestly if someone walking in without defence was going to be one shot by the enemy by the new HP/damage scaling or not.
