Maybe I'm Jumping the Gun... - Alura - 02-21-2012
Hey, I wasn't sure if this is something that is going to be added, or if I just missed it. But I was a little confused on how one goes about acquiring crystals. The entire crystal system is a bit hazy on me, to be honest. I understand that you need a certain amount of crystals to do something.
For example, I want to do Fireball. I'm not from the Fire Region. I just need one fire crystal. No big deal.
But how do I ACQUIRE a fire crystal? What if it costs two crystals and I only have one crystal; can I use one crystal and then upgrade it when I get two? Would I get a discount for the upgrade? (Sorry, lots of random inspiration-caused questions).
I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around the crystal thing. Is there a price list coming soon, in regards to how much crystals cost? Do you get a discount on region crystals or is it always assumed you have them?
I apologize for the several questions, in no particular order. I'm just trying to get a handle on how to handle progression.

Hahahaha. Shit.
There's a shop. You use XP to buy slots and crystals. Can't believe I forgot to post that.

Reb,
Stop rushing me. I've got this. Bitch.
Love,
Mario

Looks good! I think I have a handle on it now. Just one question I was hoping to get an answer for, though I'm sure it'll be on a case by case basis.
If I have Fireball (1 fire) and I want, say...Fireball (2 fire). Just a stronger version. Would I have to buy an entirely new spell or could I just upgrade for a discount?
This might be getting a little too deep in the 'creation' aspect as I know the staff members haven't actually gotten a chance to experiment with pricing yet.

That would need to be an entirely new spell.

So, just to lay it out: Let's say Fireball is 5 XP, and Fireball 2 is 12 XP. Just saying. If I wanted to go from Rank 1 to Rank 2, I'd have to spend a total of 17 XP (between the two spells), even though it effectively negates Rank 1 all together?
I'm not arguing, I'm just making sure you're understanding where I'm coming from with this question.
Maybe I'm Jumping the Gun... - Kaden - 02-22-2012
Yes. That is correct.
Maybe I'm Jumping the Gun... - Alura - 02-22-2012
Alrighty then. Thanks.

Will we be able to edit our own bio and description? Similiar to how the DBZ profiles are: making a post in our character sheet thread that we can edit on our own?
EDIT:
Also; are you equipping spells, or JUST crystals? Here's an example to what I mean: let's say I have one fire crystal, and I have twenty spells that all require ONE fire crystal. I can use all twenty at any point, without equipping anything new, right? Or do I need twenty fire crystals to have them available at any one time?
Thanks for your patience.

You need a separate fire crystal if you plan on using all the spells at the same time. When you create a spell it requires a number of crystals and slots to be active, if you are using those crystals and slots for a different spell you can't use them for another one unless you unequipped them and used them for the other spell.

When you buy a spell, you always have that spell. As long as you have the required Crystals equipped, you can cast it.
Maybe I'm Jumping the Gun... - Alura - 02-23-2012
Okay...you guys gave me two different answers.
Maybe I'm Jumping the Gun... - Kaden - 02-23-2012
You're not going to need new crystals for each spell you make.
Maybe I'm Jumping the Gun... - Alura - 02-23-2012
Cool, thank you.

Yeah, that's the plan.

Yay!
