- Poison resistance is unnecessary, enemies cannot stack poison on enemies like they can on you and no enemy deals a significant amount of poison damage.
- Bleeding resistance is also unnecessary for the reasons listed above, not to mention it's rare to find on items.
- Mind, nerve, nether, and fire are the most necessary resistances to give allies to prevent magic from killing them.
Notes: Their skills seem to raise randomly, not sure the cause of this. Just walking around in dungeons seems to be enough to raise entirely unrelated skills. Pickpocketing seems to raise rapidly on both my
They also gather materials for you seemingly based off of their respective gathering capacity. Not sure if it's whenever they walk over a gathering spot or if it's just based off of time spent in a dungeon.
Gene Engineering:
- Human type enemies cannot give body parts to anyone else. If a recipient has greater than or equal to the number of specific body parts than the donor then they cannot give them body parts. Most creatures have limbs based on their race, with mutants being the only notable exception, so you can reference species to determine what you can get from which enemy. Mutants grow limbs randomly, except for 'Body', so they can provide body parts that would otherwise be impossible to acquire. Using mutants requires more work, luck, and time than should ever be spent on a game.
- If a donor has skills that a recipient does not then they can give them. Once again, nothing complicated. If you're looking to acquire specific skills on an ally, which you should be as they promote stat growth and other benefits, then just look up an easy to acquire enemy that has that skill.
- Not sure how donors with higher levels affect stat growth on recipients. Will go to Derphy and experiment on slaves.
Food:
- Why bother. After initial gains the benefits of food diminish so rapidly that they become irrelevant. Even with perfectly cooked +20 hand of murderer steaks, there were no noticeable gains to strength. Unless you enjoy farming and ranching, spend your time earning platinum instead to train skills. This will lead to faster stat growth.
- Only exceptions are foods that provide massive stat gain hexes, such as putitoro. Not because they directly give stats but because they enable other methods to give you stats.
Gods:
- Yacatect easily the best general early game God to worship. The extra money makes progression a lot easier, faster, and safer. God weapon 'Kaneituuhou' lets you see invisible enemies around when Nightmare Pumpkins are becoming a problem. This changes impossible situations into easy to handle situations quickly. Once you're established you can switch to any other God that better suits you.
- Advisable to abuse Yacatect's bonus to investing while you can and get every shop in the world to at least rank 60. If you have the money, at least rank 110. Invest 50 option takes the tedium out of clicking a thousands times to do this. This makes acquiring rare scrolls, potions, equipment, and rods a lot easier. Getting godly furniture is still difficult but you can sit back with your stack of blessed potions of potential not worrying about that.
