All Small Medal Locations as of 2.31
I decided to go through the game's code and tabulate which maps all of the Small Medals appear in; I looked through 2.31's files, but until part 3 I doubt any bug fixes will change the list. I will try to order them as they are moved through in-game, though there may be some mistakes and perhaps some missing medals; this also doesn't tell you exactly where they are, besides the area and, in cases of Small Medals obtained through interaction, who you have to interact with. This list includes 140 Small Medals (which is odd when I thought there were 130 based on a preliminary count). Hopefully those interested can use this to help update pages such as Port Natalia and the list of all seeds and small medals. I'm not too interested in catalogui…
Job and Race Experience Curves
So I've been doing some testing recently in lieu of not wanting to take the time just yet to look at the back end of the game, and decided to record some observations about how much experience it takes for characters to level up in jobs and races.
Elf takes 30% more exp to reach a given level, both from 1 and from the level before it, than Magician. This has some consistency between races and jobs, but Martial Artist takes about 10% more job exp for any given level than, say, Gadabout, so there's enough variation that it's hard to say. This pattern seems to extend to Intermediate and Advanced jobs and races, though as the jobs and races themselves change there will be variance; High Elf compared to Black Mage is 33% more exp per level, for …
Does anyone know the mechanics of the skill, Dig?
So I saw somewhere that Dig can get Small Medals, and was wondering how the odds for that worked. Besides that method, it seems that the main renewable methods of grinding for Small Medals would be Box Girls and Labyrinth of Chaos, but unlike those two Dig isn't given any clear information on how consistent it is.
Does anyone know Dig mechanics beyond "it has a chance of giving an item"?
