Rance Quest:FAQ

What's with this Morurun Curse?
The Kalar Queen Pastel curses him in such a way that Rance can't H a girl below level 35. Further, if Rance does H a level 35+ girl, her level will reset to 1. However, she will gain extra skills points for every time she's H'd. Also, if H'd at max level, her level cap will increase by 3.

Why does a girl's level reset to 1 every time I do her?
See above.

How to raise a girl's level cap?
See above. You must H a girl at her max level (level = level cap and her level will show in red). Her level cap will go up, but her level will reset to 1.

What if a girl's level cap is below 35 to begin with!?
Use the items 禁断才能 and 禁断才能ー弱 to raise their level cap upto or past 35, then do her. This applies to males also, you can raise their level caps this way upto 50.

How to raise the level cap of Karma Atlanger and other lolis?
Again only by using the items 禁断才能 and 禁断才能ー弱. Rance doesn't do girls below the age of 15, so unfortunately no item absorption for them, and forget about H-ing them.

How to raise level cap of Frostvine?
Rance doesn't do females older than 30 either, besides you should stop playing Rance games if granny porn is your kind of thing. You can still raise her level cap upto 35/50 using 禁断才能ー弱 and 禁断才能 though.

Where do I get these level cap raising items you keep mentioning!?
Clear Quest #20 i.e. finish the Rance Castle and the first one (weak) becomes available to buy. You can also get them as rare loot. For more information on how to get there, check the walkthrough.

The equipment in the top slot is gone whenever I unequip it or replace it with something else!!
That's how those items are, so think well before equipping them. If replaced, they'll be lost and wasted. However, in case of females, after being H'd, the item in that slot is absorbed by the girl i.e. she permanently gains the stat bonus of the item, and now you can equip something else on that slot of that girl. Not possible for lolis, men and old hags.

The item in the top slot is lost forever when I H a girl!
See above. The girl gains the stats of the item. This is actually the only way to NOT waste these items.

How do I complete quest #66? When I reach the village gate I just have a battle and the quest fails!!
If you took the crystal from Aegis Kalar's forehead and killed her, quest #66 is impossible to complete. Redo #33 and this time choose the top option after the battle. See Quests Walkthrough section for more details.

When I try quest #98 Rance just talks to himself and the quest fails!
The characters in your party cannot equip any weapons aside from clubs (こんぼう). See Quests Walkthrough section for more details.

Donation. What's the point?
For every 25 items donated, a new (usually rare) item becomes available to buy at Frostbitten/Frostvi Shop. Since a sellback always gives you 10 Gold no matter what the item is, it's usually pointless. Donation is thus always better.

Why my character didn't earn XP/earned reduced XP in a fight?
There are various reasons.


 * Fighters have a berserker skill, that if triggered (it can trigger only when targetted by the enemy) will give that character a 1.5x attack boost for that battle but will give no exp. A red flame icon appears beside that character's portrait to signify this.


 * Some enemies have an energy drain skill (especially ghosts: the attack animation has a blue polygon looking like those +3% EXP bonus pickups being taken away from the character) which bypasses ally guard, and the target character will gain no exp from that battle no matter what.


 * KO'd characters that remain KO'd by the end of battle and characters at their level cap will get no experience.


 * You must kill at least one monster in the enemy troop (doesn't matter who kills) before time runs out or else everyone will only gain 1 EXP from that battle, nothing more.


 * If a character is too overpowered for a quest (level is more than quest difficulty + 5) then that character suffers an exp penalty: exp gained is slashed by 1/4 for every 5 levels more than that (if level > difficulty + 5 then 1/4, if level > difficulty + 10 then 1/16 and so on)
 * Battles in quest #97 give 0 EXP for characters level 35+.

Other than that, note that it's not necessary for a character to take any action or even have any usable skills equipped to gain exp. As long as a character doesn't get into above situations, that character will gain full exp as the rest of the party. This applies to all kinds of battles - regular, red mine, and red exclamation mark boss fights.
