Thanks everyone, guess I'm going to send them all to school for some "extra credit"..!

Question{s} about the training available from the um.. trainer in the Beast's Woods and the mage in CastleV...

Does the (expensive) training in missile/melee fighting and protection from various bad things apply ONLY to my main character..?

Or to just the characters in the party when I get the training..?

Or to all characters...?

I've been wanting to go back and get at least the missile training for quite a while but those 3000 gold pieces keep going for other things.

Now finally (just finished the Titan's Fortress) I have enough saved up to get some training/protection, but now I'm wondering if it'll be worth it now that I'fe got my DEX and protection skills fairly high.

How effective is having the training/protection versus not bothering with it..?

Thanks for any help..!

why did they design the game like that? that's silly of them lol

That's one thing you have to get used to very soon in this game.

It's not as "linear" as you might be used to from other similar games.

There's a LOT of going back to areas you've been to before, over and over, to accomplish different tasks, and a lot of those quests you couldn't find, items you couldn't locate or people that weren't there will show up on later visits. Not to mention going back and talking to the same people over and over to get more quests from them (and having to remember to do it so you don't miss any later quests)

The big problem with that for me is that you're left wondering if you missed something..???

Or is it a bug in the game..???

Or..???

When it's just part of the design philosophy of the game.

I ended up wandering and wandering and wasting a lot of time backtracking before coming to these forums and starting to rely heavily on the FAQs and Maps and Spoilers and posts in the forum instead of feeling like I could just rely on myself to find things and figure out what to do next in the game.
