As long as you have the gold...

[Flyssa]

... Can you promote whenever you like?
What does promotion do? because it might be a waste of gold >___>

[Rath]

You can weild more weapons as a plus

[Matthias]

Really? Matthias becomes a Sniper... I don't get more weapons... Actually ,there's the total coolness factor of actually being something higher than the rest of the commonfolk.

Though, Flyssa, if we don't get a cleric, we're really going to need you to promote. The whole staff thing will kinda be necassary.

[Flyssa]

Yeah true, a free staff is nice! I forgot about the extra weapons thing >__>

[Sain]

Us Lords get to Use the uber weapons(armadas, sol katti and durundal) , and only Premoted people can use the Legend weapons

[Flyssa]

Oh! So if I had the gold, and I was promoted, can I use both Fortify and Excalibur.

[Matthias]

Yeah, so when you've posted the ten thousand or so times it would take for you to get both those weapons...

So, i get to use one more weapon when I promote? Not that I'm complaining, I choose archer knowing full well i'd only be using bows.

[Matis]

Promoting will work sort of like this.
When characters promote in the game, they can use some other weapons than what they are used to.

Also, when you Promote, you can actually use the S ranked weapons.

Said Weapons are, for example, the Rex Hasta(Spear), the Reinfleche(Bow), and such.

That aside, being Promoted is just for the looks.

[Flyssa]

So I can S - Rank two weapons!

[cookiesnmilk]

Magic and staffs? Pretty useless.

[Flyssa]

Staves btw!

And staves are useless because you can't heal yourself ;_;

[cookiesnmilk]

S in staffs is useless because there is no S staff. And you can't get +5 hit and crit.

Sleep, beserk, restore and torch come in handy. Now that I think of it, I don't think we can buy half of those items. <_<

[Flyssa]

Why would you anyways when you could buy Nosferatu or Luna. All the staves are useless, but at least Heal is free. I'll probably wield a fire all the time, maybe switching to a thunder or Elfire later. Fimbulvetr would also be nice.

If you ask me there should be a different way of getting gold. Or more gold per post, thank god the basic items are free!

[cookiesnmilk]

Or save a village, and they give you stuff.

Nosferatu has 20 uses, and costa a couple grand.

[Flyssa]

No, it actually has 50 I think, read the 'Battle Rules'.

And if saving a village gave out free items, you would find LOTS of villages being saved.

But the villages giving out items is a good idea nonetheless.
