Items (Equipment)
There are various “equipment items” such as weapons and
armor, and “use items” such as tools.
Techniques (weapon items): There are several ways of attacking
using techniques, both bare handed or using weapon items.
These are only displayed during battles. Each weapon can be
used to perform several techniques, and the total of performable
techniques for each weapon increases with the level ups.
Techniques deplete VIT.
Magic (Registered)
Magic is a highly effective way of attacking. Magic depletes
MP. Magic is usually more powerful than techniques are.
Attributes: “Fire,” “Ice,” “Lightning” and “No Attribute.” “Fire” and
“Ice” are opposite attributes “Lightning” is an independent
attribute, so it is effective against both “Fire” and “Ice.”
Level: Spells also have levels, and become more effective with
each level up (→P28).
Classifications: Spells are displayed in the selection window
using the following prefixes.
Mega-: Every member of a party, Giga-: All enemies
Skills (Registered)
Your character will gain many special abilities, such as extra
strength when it acquires a new skill.
Level: Skills have levels too, but do not level up (→P28). You
can acquire separate skills at every level.
Parties
You can form a party of up to 3, including the main charac-
ter. Enemy monsters can form parties of up to 4.
Ally Monsters
If you successfully “capture” a monster during a battle, it can
become a member of your party (→P30). Register your newly
captured monster in the Monster House, and you will be able
to revive it in the Church should it be defeated in a
dungeon. You can also make it work for you in a mini-game
.
Aggression
This is the level of enthusiasm for battles that every enemy
monster has. Aggression has a strong influence on the behav-
ior of monsters, because although a monster that likes to fight
will attack, monsters that dislike battles will not. (→P20)
Legendary Items
There are only a few of these precious items in Time Stalkers.
At the Blacksmith, you can add skills from other items to your
legendary item (Transfer)or lower the parameter value to
master using the item (Improve).
Collection Items
You’ll have a lot of fun collecting these. You can display them
in the Collection Room next to Sword’s House and go and
admire them whenever you like, just as though you owned
your very own museum.
●MASTERY
During gameplay, your character will acquire “equipment items,”
“magic,” and “skills,” which you can then equip or register.
However, some items, magic and skills require the character to
have specific basic parameters (strength, wisdom, charisma, etc.
→P28)in order to be effective. Your character will have to gain
experience points, and you will have to allocate bonus points in
order to “master” some items, magic and skills.
