Byond Game: Dragon Warrior: Hero's Destiny Guide

Yet another guide for a byond game. Hub page can be located here.

This game is very similar to Shadows of Erdrick 2 with the same story and quests, with just a few minor exceptions. Therefore, you can use the SoE2 guide for an explanation on skills, quest location help and even use the maps with most of the same accuracy, just the maps will be in 16bit instead of 8bit like this game is.

PERSONALITY INFO

In the game, you can find books to change you character's personality, which influence its stat growth. Each class has its own normal stat growth while personalities add AND subtract from them. Everyone starts out as ordinary, which simply has no affect to your character's normal stat growth.

Example:

Say you are a wizard, and gain about 1 (str)ength, 3 (agi)lity, 5 (int)elligence,  3 (vit)ality, and 3 luck on average for each level up.

You then change your personality to Smart (-1 str, +3 int, -1 luck). 

Next level up, you're less likely to get any str, normal agility, up to perhaps 8 int, normal vitality, and a little less luck (or on average, 0 str, 3 agi, 8 int, 3 vit, 2 luck).

Try to find the personality that fits you best, or perhaps average out your stats to be well rounded.

Goof Off

The Goof-Off is generally the master of disaster... and distraction! All of its skills tend to lean towards making the enemy lose a turn. Whenever it attacks normally, it has a fair chance to end up goofing off instead. Luckily, skills, parrying, psyching, and items will always work as commanded.

GOOF ANTICS

As the goof levels, their pool of goofs expands, and some even disappear (presumably, the less useful ones)

[Goof] just sits there thinking - Wastes the user's turn. Eventually disappears
[Goof] goes to pinch someone. [Target] is pinched./is not pinched. - If the target is pinched, they get distracted for an unknown amount of turns (anywhere from the end of current turn to... who knows). The target can be anyone from monsters to the goof's party members, to even the goof themselves!

[Goof] goes to grab someone - If successful, either spins the target around, which may (or may not) cause it to attack itself or its allies, OR will simply grab the target, causing it to possibly to be distracted for awhile.

[Goof] gets in [Monster]'s way - Doesn't appear to do much, but annoy a target; presumably taunts the target into attacking the goof.

[Goof] makes a silly joke - Distracts the enemy, sometimes for multiple turns.

[Goof] kicks up some sand - Blinds the enemy, reducing their accuracy; similar to the SURROUND spell.

[Goof] Starts to goof off but decides to attack - Attacks an enemy for less attack power, but appears to be a defense-ignoring move, including against metals.
[Goof] drops a rock on [Monster]'s foot for [X] points of damage! - Inflicts weaker, flat-rate damage on an enemy.

[Goof] trips and throws their weapon with great force - Does defense-piercing damage to a single enemy, including through metals. More damage than the 'start to goof but decides to attack' goof.
[Goof] throws a boomerang - Hits all enemies like a boomerang.
[Goof] starts to sing - Raises the defense of the party, similar to INCREASE.
[Goof] starts to juggle balls. [Goof] loses control of the balls and they fly all over the place. - Randomly hurts ANYONE in battle, sometimes multiple times.
[Goof] begins to juggle a bunch of strange bottles. Luquid spills out of the bottles. - Randomly heals ANYONE in battle, sometimes multiple times.

DROPS LIST

The way the drop system work is monsters have three sorts of drops: common (50%), uncommon (30%), and rare (20%). These %s are what you have a chance of getting IF the game warrants a drop for you. Base % of drops is 5%. Your luck can help increase the drop rate. For every 20 luck, you get +1% chance to drop. However, this only applies to players and not their mercs.

You can further increase this by being a thief. Thieves have a natural +5% chance drop bonus if you are playing one. Partying other players also helps increase the drop rate for you all by a flat 4% per actual player.

For a quick run down:
Non-thief player by themselves or with merc = minimum drop rate 5%
Thief player playing by themselves: 10% minimum
Non-Thief with 3 other players = 17% minimum
Thief player with 3 other players = 22% minimum
