Adventure Bar Story - Bar Rank

Ahh, it's been a while. I am still playing games but I haven't really found anything worth posting. I spent most of my spare time playing Dwarf Fortress. I am thinking of doing a series of posts about Dwarf Fortress when I start a new one.

Edward asked about Adventure Bar Story - where can I see my bar rank? I'm going to reply with a few pictures.

- Click on "Menu".

- The picture below shows a few things. On the top left corner, you can see a calender. That's where you can find your bar's ranking. The screen below is showing the ranking on Day 1 so that's just a very low rank bar.

- Highest Rank: Compare the screen below to the screen above, you can see the calendar shows a highest bar rank.

Hope this answers your question, Edward.  :)

Adventure Bar Story - Western Desert Map

I got lost the first time I entered this map. Also I regretted not having any food with heat resistance. So I reloaded.  xD

The thing with this map is that if you don't feed all party members with heat resistance food, every step would bring their HP down a tiny bit. It's not going to kill them quickly but it is a little annoying.

Some areas on this map are locked until events happen. I should do a map for the ruin but I haven't had my Dwarf Fortress fix today. I will leave that to some other time.  /sorry

If I remember correctly, Lidia knows her way here. When the game progresses to a certain point, she'll say she can help you out. Nothing will happen at the entrance of this map when you bring her along however. It requires Lidia to be close enough to, say, the ruin entrance, to be able to trigger the event.

Also, one of the materials Elias needs for the item he wants to make can be found here. Again, I didn't write it down when I was playing but I think it's something about Desert Lizard.

The boss here is Almer Baron. It has strong resistance to Fire, Wind, and Earth elements, weak against Ice element.

Good luck and have fun.  :)

New Toy - ASUS Matrix Radeon HD 7970 Platinum

It has been quite a few weeks since I last posted something. It's just that I got a new job and I haven't had enough time to enjoy gaming properly. I do like my new job though.  ^_^

Since I worked so hard in the past few weeks, I decided to reward myself a good video card. Here's some info about the card I bought - ASUS Matrix Radeon HD 7970 Platinum. I tested it on League of Legend, and Dwarf Fortress, both games ran really smoothly compared to my old-randomly-shut-my-PC-down-card.

It started to get really warm in Sydney these days. It's funny to say but the weather effects my gaming experience. Whenever I played League of Legend, my computer would crash whenever there was a group fight. Also it was sad that Dwarf Fortress would become really really slow. FPS was too low for me to enjoy the game. :*( I don't have this issue anymore now though. :D :D :D




I know the games I play don't require a video card like this, but hey, it makes me happy when I think about it. xD That's what matters right? :p

Hope everyone is having a good holiday time. Merry Christmas.

Adventure Bar Story - Equipment List

Aww, I suppose an equipment list would be good. When I was missing one or two items in the end, it was so difficult to find them without knowing their names.

It might help using this list and the Monster List together. For other info about Adventure Bar Story, please visit the Adventure Bar Story Page.  :)

Hope this is useful.  :)  Good luck and have fun.

Adventure Bar Story - Otts Cave Map

So I did it, there you go, a map for Otts Cave. Hopefully you can find your way out there.

Remember wherever you go, this applies to other dungeons too, make sure you walk out of the exit near the boss at least once. The first time I went to Otts Cave, I was being "smart" and decided to walk all the way back to the entrance so I could farm more ingredients. What I didn't know was that it was the key to unlock Silkreef by walking out of the exit in Otts Cave.

Please click the image to see the map in its original size.

Good luck and have fun!

Adventure Bar Story - Shops

There are 6 shops in Cassel Kingdom:

• Casselburg shop
• Ostenlein shop
• Port City of Lar shop
• Desert City of Guid shop
• Amiel Villa shop
• Peddler's shop - comes to Casselburg every 5 days

I made a spreadsheet for all shops with all the available goods when I finished the game story. Some of the goods only appear after certain events happen. For example, Bait from Fred's shop in Casselburg. He would only start selling baits after you receive a fishing rod from a customer.

Since I finished Adventure Bar Story, I started to look around for another game to play. The game I want to play from Kairosoft is still not translated to English so I decided to take a break from mobile phone games.

I saw Dwarfs and Towns from Steam, so I tried their free to play or demo version. They all just reminded me how fun Dwarf Fortress is. I only spent a few minutes on Towns since the UI is just too clumsy for me. I do appreciate how they try to make Dwarf Fortress like games though. Anyway, after trying those two games, I thought I might as well take a look and see what's happening with Dwarf Fortress. Reading is just not enough. I started to play Dwarf Fortress soon after that.  xD

Warning : Learning curve is steep. However, once learnt, it's highly addictive.

Here is some good websites about Dwarf Fortress:

• Bay 12 Games: Dwarf Fortress - The official web site
• The Dwarf Fortress Wiki
• Lazy Newb Pack - If you use Windows, this is a good one to start with
• captnduck's 2012 Dwarf Fortress Tutorial - My favourite DF youtube channel

That's about it I think. Time to play!

Adventure Bar Story - Party

We are going to cover the basics about Party in Adventure Bar Story:

• Change party members
• Change fighting positions

As the story progresses, you will have new members joining your party. Siela is always in the party and she can not be removed from it. She can bring 2 more people to go with her.

I always thought Kamerina, Siela's sister, would join the party one day but she never did. There are 6 people available to join Siela:

• Fred
• Alfine
• Alter
• Lidia
• Elias
• Milija

Change party members

You can only change party members in your bar. Go to Menu, and scroll up or down until you see Party.

Click Party, then it'll bring out the party list.

Let's try, replacing Alter with Alfine. We do this by clicking the name of the party member we want to remove. A list of all available names will pop up.

You can tap through the names to compare the original party member and the others. Once decided, tap on the name, in this case Alfine. Then you should see a screen like the picture below. But we are not done yet.

If we go Back, then the changes we just did will not be saved. Remember to click OK to save the changes. Once clicked, you'll see a screen like the next picture.

Change fighting positions

That's pretty much done. But I'd like to make one more change. I'd like to bring Fred from the Back position to the Front. I can do this by swiping on Fred's tag from Right to Left. If we want to bring Siela from the Front position to the Back, we should swipe on her tag from Left to Right.

We don't need to be in the bar to change their positions. Party members in the front do more damage but at the same time they take more damage.

"Who is the best to bring along in the party?",You might ask. My personally favorite is Fred. If you take Fred off the list, monster HP bars won't show up, and that's kind of inconvenient. Also, I was wondering if he went with Siela often enough, maybe there will be a little love story happening. It never really happened. He gave her a necklace. That's about it.

Then I'd pick one more member based on the monsters in the area and the story. The end of the game I chose Siela, Fred, and Milija.
