I never flee, and I usually get all the treasures. You can never have too many MP potions--those buffs eat up the MP.

For now it seems that I rarely use MP Potions (I think it's because I don't have every latest buff spell I'll want to cast every time.) Spark III is still relevant in terms of damage dealing. I wish there was a better Spark with similar Growth of damage.) I usually have to backtrack several times but recently I freed full page for Chest Stuff so I don't have to warp out every second.

I've now done 2 hours in the area northwest of Breckerton, with really nothing to show for it. BTW: you are nearing the level of some monsters who resist magic (apparently around 43).

Question: is there any good reason to return now to the instance dungeons?

So you have a very bad luck with finding it but because it's giving you up to 3 turns of attacking enemies I find it great. This spell is one of the few that improve significantly whether it's from Rank I (1 Free Turn is essentially useless) to Rank II (2 Free turns is useful if you can kill enemies fast) or II to III (3 Turns is enough to Auto through monsters I'm fighting currently).

Beating Larkwood Mines.. It's not worth it at all because you might spend an hour trying to find the button and the Boss just so happens to give you a terrible equipment. I once got a Heart from him.

Another day of progress : Level 41 Reached, explored three new hidden areas, found Orb of Norwind before reaching the town itself, Norwind found. Updated Potions and realized the spells here require much higher level. New observation: Enemies can now 1-shot Cleric if they want to. Still no better spell than Spark exists.

Well, not really bad luck--you just had good luck. I guess drop rate for the ultra rare at about 1 in 1000. Assuming you can do 2 battles per minute (includes time to adjust inventory, perhaps other housekeeping), that is 120 per hour. So 480 in 4 hours, which is still slightly less than 50% chance to get that drop. Be happy for your 20 minutes!

[Note: If drop is per monster killed rather than per battle, and we assume avg of 4 monsters per battle, then 1 hour should be about 50% chance to get the 1 in 1000 drop.]

No, Hearts are ultra rare.. And I got a Vitality one recently

I just learned that Auto makes the party do mostly the same thing you did before setting it to auto, it's even remembered to next fights which is usually nice but sometimes enemies can destroy everything. On the way to hidden area, just after finishing second part of the caves I got into a fight against 8 enemies. I was confident in my auto fight.. The enemies killed Cleric and Sorcerer.. I'm glad I had the tiny 25 hp resurrection as I somehow won the insanely bad fight RNG. With no mana at all I just teleported back to Norwind (didn't want to use Potions.)

Also, I think I don't want to keep earlier cities Orbs anymore (except Clarrow because it has all other city Cannons XD and Norwind). A few more free space makes a difference.

100 Green Gems total, 9 Blue and 7 Red. Gems are the only things that get through 99 Max.

Edit: I probably experienced a bug or unknowingly made party constantly doing what I wanted to do as now Auto was only giving out Attack command when I searched the last hidden area. I'm using a guide only to know where these Hidden places are as it's impossible to come across most of them.

Also, I only go to Inventory after finding a new piece of equipment or to use Potions.

Yes, I dumped most of the obs except for Clarrow, and one for Kanticle and Larkwood. I keep a supply of those cheap 25 HP resurrection items also. I had the same experience, winning a battle without cleric or sorcerer. Whew....
