Merlassar Island - Lair of the Pirate King

[ckdamascus]

Half half, because sometimes you won't get a unit AT ALL in large numbers. What if it was a unit you wanted? aka Black Dragons which cannot be sacrificed for. Or you get it so late in the game that it hardly matters.

Or what if a certain spell doesn't exist at all or only exists in a certain quest that you wanted to do differently?

What if you relied on a certain strategy so you needed at least 1 out of 3 spells and it turns out none of them spawned at all?

It really sucks to play the game (which can take a lot of time) only to end up in an undesirable situation. You end up restarting... again and again and hope you will get that right combination. OR just "play" it as is... well sometimes you won't get any good level 5s that you want; they simply might not exist in that game!

A lot of this could be eliminated if the game had some 'fixed' settings. I noticed so far the game seems to statically allow for

a) 3 trolls in House of Jotun
b) summon phoenix scroll via elemental mission

Possibly the 4 archdemons too in demonis.

I think this is a GOOD thing if they hold some static items. I also noticed twinkling boots seem to be available fairly often. I think it is good since it helps reduce the need to scan.

That said, there are areas where the saved game scanner "fails". There are random chests that can be generated throughout the game during battles given a certain time/day number of battle / what level you are, what terrain you fight them in, etc.

Sometimes you can get very good items from here that the scanner CANNOT pick up since it is pseudo randomly generated.

I got a call of nature scroll in the first island even though the scanner said it didn't exist.

In armored princess I got some Ghost Armor which the scanner said did not exist normally. Very lucky battle/chest for me.
