Rance VI:Dungeons

Dungeon Information
The map is located in the lower left corner of the screen when in a dungeon. Upon mouse hover, the map takes up a much larger portion of the screen and you can view the different levels. Later in the game, you will be able to see where items, yellow crosses, character events, and special fights are located.

Along the bottom, in the center, is the status of your active party. By clicking on the party member, you will go straight to their status screen.

Along the bottom right are two pieces of information. Your money is the lowest piece of information, while the battle points are displayed above. On mouse hover, you will see 4 commands. The top command allows you to see your party screen where you can change active party members. The second command displays the current objectives. The third command calls for a monster, making it easy to grind for experience, and the final command allows you to leave the dungeon. The shortcuts are displayed on the button and are C, N, M, and D respectively.

HP, SP, BP, and What They Mean
HP should be fairly obvious. If a character runs out of it, he or she is taken out of the active party. If all active party members die, you have lost and it is game over. These can be restored with Seirogan, which look like small black beads on a brown piece of paper in the item screen. Rance has 2 of these at the start and they can be bought in the shop. The Seigoran completely restore HP, but can only be used outside of battle.

SP is the number of battles a character can fight in. SP can be completely restored by an item that looks like small yellow pills. These can be obtained by acquiring 50 and 90 battle points.

BP, or battle points, help you obtain rewards while traveling through a dungeon. You obtain 1 BP for every fight you win and there are Yellow Crosses placed in certain spots in dungeons. Yellow Crosses will also appear randomly throughout the dungeon as you continue fighting. When you mouse hover over the status portion on the dungeon screen, a large dungeon status window will open. This window tells you how many battle points you currently have as well as the amount of map completed. There are new items to be obtained every 5 BP, but the sequence always remains the same

Earning Experience and Gaining Levels
Fights in a dungeon give a set amount of EXP. The first two dungeons give 10 EXP per fight per character as a base. Later dungeons give more EXP per fight. The amount of EXP earned, however, is not always the amount set in the dungeon. The more characters in the active party, the lower the percentage of total EXP earned by each character. This number can be found in the lower right (above the FR requirement for the dungeon) when adding party members in the party selection screen

Experience always accumulates, even past the required amount to gain a level. To gain levels, the player must return to town and access the level up screen, which has F4 assigned as the shortcut.
