Rance Quest:Hints and Tips

THE CURSE!!
When a girl(Level 35 and above unless otherwise, for example Kenshin) is H-ed by Rance, the girl will revert back to level 1, and her skill points will be 2 for the first go, 2+2 for the second, up to +10 skill points. If the girl is H-ed when her level caps (ie 70/70 in the case of Kenshin), her level cap will increase by 3. All learnt skills will be gone, thus you probably should H them ASAP.

EXP required for releveling is increased as well. For the first go, there seems to be no penalty, but the second seems to say an increase of EXP requirement up to level 37. Level 1 on second curse needs the same EXP as lv3 of the uncursed/first cursed. Level 2 on second curse needs the same EXP as lv4 of the uncursed etc.

ALL equipments will be taken off, that implies that yes, the item will be gone. However as the item disappears, it's absorbed by the girl, and its stats are permanently added to her.

If Rance H-s a girl that is at max level, e.g. Kenshin at level 70, max cap also 70, then her level cap increases by 3. So for this example, Kenshin's level cap will go up to 73. This can be repeated indefinitely. However, the more you do this, the more experience will be required for each level up. Equipped items before being H-ed by Rance indeed leave and do not increase stats of the girl. If Rance H-s a girl that is not at her max level, the level cap will not increase, but the skill points do go up by 2 (only up to 10).

The item equipped in the first slot (the item that is gone if you remove them normally) is absorbed, ie. the stat is added to the character's stat. Other items are simply moved to the storehouse (except items that can be removed).

Get Lia ASAP!!
You can have Lia join you by #63.

You should have her ASAP because of her x2 Charisma skill !!

And do not forget to have her in the party before clear any quest.

Having Lia in your party does not double the Fame Points you obtain for all quests. Quests that do not involve roaming a maze, fighting, etc. do not appear to double. For example, missions 101-104.

Meet a girl in the castle everytime you finish a quest
Because when you meet a girl once in a castle the castle will become "Cleaning!" and you cannot enter. You have to finish a quest and it will become avaliable again.

Each time you meet a girl, she will gain 1 skill point. (+?)

Eventually talking to the same girl will not give any more skill points. Not sure how many times this is. But this number appears to reset when Rance H-s a girl and she returns to level 1.

Donate items instead of selling them
All item, however rare they are, will only sell for 10G. But if you donate 25 items to Frostbaiten shop (which if you sell, will just be 250G), a rare item will show up in the shop. Every 25 items a rare item will be on sale.

After 600 donations, no further items will be unlocked.


 * Another Tip: Clearing #83 again and again will give you lots of clubs and other items to donate :D

Quest #101-#104
These quests give you a free 1 level for your entire party. So please take this quest wisely.

Btw, if you really want to watch the event but still dont want to get free level, just close the game before the quest finish.

Hammer
Hammers do major damage. However, most are capped by the attack skill(500 at attack 1, 1000 at attack 2). This may cause some frustration. With Hammer skill at 2 star, damage limit is removed, so even your attack 1 can do 1000+ or more damage. On a downside, the accuracy of hammers is really low, decreasing your accuracy by -10~-70. Thus, it is best used with Clane(personal weapon adds few ATK, but 100% stun rate), or someone who can do good stunning. Stunned enemies cannot dodge, so hit rate becomes 100%. This information may help you make a good team.

Spear
Use spear and upgrade 【槍の知識】/[knowledge of spear] skill at least twice (two star) so you can attack the enemy from distance (need confirmation)

Creating custom characters
At some point in time, you can buy a piece of paper from Tama that allows you to create custom characters. The base price is 1000G, and then subsequent papers increase by 1000G each time you buy one.

To create a custom character, a certain quest asking for the paper will take you to Alice's house, where she will ask you if you want to create a character.

You will choose the following for your new character:


 * Name
 * Portrait (you can choose your own by creating an image and dropping it in the CG folder in your SaveData folder).
 * Gender
 * Class
 * special bonus
 * 5 dialogues

Upon creation, your character will be available in your party menu.
