I'm surprised this game hasn't been attempted. I want to make a run with the best ending, i.e. all the jobs and the secret dungeon. Should I use the regular JP game or the 90% translated one? Because it's running around on the net. I've played the game, and found some tricks to speed up things, like running around Zaxon (metal babbles) and the last dungeon (King Metals). I've even calculated the level at which you stop accumulating job experience

First WIP published. Manipulation seems fairly easy for battle; the step counter changes whenever you change screens, and WHEN you enter the next screen influences it. I'm able to get 60-75 steps before each battle. Inside battles, item drops seems fairly easy too. I just need to combine optimal battle outcomes AND item drops... Therefore, I don't think that, in the end, I will need that herb I got from the chest in the mountain pass. Let's see for that agility seed later on.

According to a code website, the address C2342A (and B) can be tricked to "Keep Getting End-of-Battle Rewards" . But I watched it for the times I had item drops and nothing changed. Am I missing something?

The memorydomain of the addresses which start from C***** (in this case C2342A and C2342B) is CARTROM.

thanks, I will see it soon. I had to completely rework the run since I couldn't decently defeat the first 2 bosses otherwise. But I definitely need much fewer shield drops since I won't find a bronze shield in Riedock. And I won't need (I believe) to buy Hassan weapons until I reach San Marino

finally about to get the mirror of ra. I will need to check the people I need to talk to in Reidock and Amoru; it's fewer than I thought

On my way to defeat Mudo for good. His first fight wasn't too hard, although Muriel at 1 hp made it a little harder. And I do have to get to Reidock (dream world) before continuing. I hope skipping the magic potion in Mudo's cave won't play against me

New update with a first job mastered, i.e. 130 battles crammed. I can acquire job experience in Mudo's castle until level 26, so there's plenty of time. I will master jobs as long as some still need to learn; in other words I will seek explicit job experience until it can wait after the final battle to master the book of babbles (100 battles to level 6) and the book of dragons (130 battles to level 6)

I would stick with the regular JP unless that 90% translated one is an official leak or something. TASVideos is very strict about not allowing fan translations.

I know; I had my answer. Fortunately, I found a translation guide

Link to video The game has been attempted and completed. Whether that does is any good I don't know.

that's the "regular" run, i.e. without jobs. Still a good point of reference

Who am I kidding? This is a TREMENDOUS reference. Except for 2 battles (the creator was either very patient or lucky), I was able to replicate his run, needing no leveling up and abusing critical its thanks to slow dialogues. I wonder if this had potential in other games

I think the Pokemon TASes sometimes use slower dialogues (it doesn't matter too much anyway since with proper button presses (which a TAS will have) they're all the same speed) for this reason and I believe other Dragon Quest games do too.

Back to Reidock. I would really be curious how the original creator was able to get a royal flush at the casino. The best I could get (after a failure, not included) is a full house.

Personally, I don't mind. I'm not as strict on the quality of the TASes as I was, but I don't know what other members, especially judges, think.

I finally found the time and patience to get the Mirror of Ra. I'm on my way to get the most rerecords ever; each fight will be hell to manipulate

This is still later on, but I'd like to avoid forgetting to mention this. Use this! -> https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm39465759

Indeed, it's a long way. But... what does it show exactly? the best road in the ice cave?

If you step on the ice tile, the effect of cracking ice slightly delays you. The right side of the video shows that it is slightly faster to step on the switch which was stepped on instead of the ice tile.

From 20:10-, the game is seriously bugged. https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20502883 This is probably a hardware failure.
