Herbs and flasks
Conserve herbs and use them at the crafting table. Empty flasks are inexpensive, and crafting potions is an excellent source of potions and early-level EXP. Note: crafting two empty flasks yields no EXP. Potion size does not affect EXP gain, so maximize potion size for efficient herb usage.
Crafting
During the gear upgrade process using ores and tokens, carefully examine the preview of the new item displayed on the right side of the screen. Pay close attention to any changes in item requirements, as they may increase. Additionally, upgrading gear is a reliable method for gaining EXP.
Shovels and pickaxes
Carry at least two shovels and pickaxes in your inventory, with spares in your Deposit, as some maps offer access to it during adventures. Keeping extra potions in your Deposit is also recommended.
Mercenaries
Employ mercenaries for combat assistance. Their hire time only decreases during battles. You can provide them with potions or food, which they’ll use when necessary.
Passive skills
Don’t overlook Passive Skills. Several are highly beneficial and enhance your gameplay experience.
Essences
Before exploring a new map, consider purchasing Battle and Defensive essences. Battle essences boost your attack power by 30%, while Defensive essences reduce incoming damage by 30%.
Treasures
Be curious and explore thoroughly! Many hidden treasures await on the map. Use the Minimap to locate unopened chests and ores, marked with icons. Click the icons to see required keys. Avoid rushing to dig ores or open chests, as your character is vulnerable for a short time.
Resting / regeneration
During adventures, you may find campfires with chairs/stools. Sitting on them quickly restores HP and PP, useful when lacking potions and avoiding a town trip.
Items from NPCs
Quest rewards are dropped on the floor by NPCs, so remember to pick them up!
And yet another bit of useful information:
Be aware as this world can be punishing if you’re not ready to take on the adventure. Take it slow, explore and get the right skills that will help you to survive and face the lurking danger.
When you start your Adventure with Almora it is advised to go through the tutorial and get the basics. There are some mechanics that can be new to some gamers.
Antidote potion is very handy for removing and preventing ‘Poisoned’ and ‘Burning’ statuses. Time of that potion is going down when engaged in the fight.
Whenever you are on unexplored area make sure there are no monsters around you when attempting to dig the treasure or mining the ore. This action cannot be interrupted.
When you get near monster nest and it’ll hatch in close contact there is high probability that you’ll become swarmed. This will root your character and make you unable to run away. Rooting can also happen when too many monsters will surround you at the same time. Be aware of that!!!
Good place to gain exp is always the area where monsters are around 2-3 levels higher than you. This is inicated by the RED WARNING ⚠️ above the monster along with the number telling the lvl difference.
Not every piece of equipment is possible for upgrading. Whenever there is possibility for upgrade there is a small list of required items to forge them right under the item description and stats.
Read the NPC’s dialogues. There are many instructions on how and where you have to go to accomplish your quests. Makes life easier.
Some areas, dungeons mostly, have no minimap. This can make exploration difficult but not impossible. Be careful there and learn the surroundings.
Mercenaries and few things to know about them:
Treat mercenaries as support, not primary attackers. Avoid reckless fights, as they can quickly be overwhelmed.
Keep them healthy by equipping healing items, and unequip them when needed. They’ll drop the items where they stand.
Set their attitude to Defensive in explored areas to prevent unnecessary fights. This resets to Offensive on new maps.
Resting at campfires or in buildings also heals your mercenary.
You can only hire one mercenary at a time, and once dismissed, expired, or deceased, they cannot be rehired.
They have fixed equipment, so replace them with stronger mercenaries when possible. Remember to retrieve their potions before dismissing them.
