hit rate is based on Combat Attack, you need to build up the barracks in village, then go to school and do combat training to level it up... 150-200 is fine for green dungeons, should have 1000 for red-orange and red dungeons.
best non-crafted weapon is a 56damage mace that drops randomly in red-orange and red dungeons, best crafted is supreme godlike sword/dagger, but making those before you turn 19 is not going to happen ;)
graveyard 1,2, and 4 open up dungeons, so does library 1, mage guild 1, hunter's guild 1 and (2 or 3), music academy 2, farm 1... others are from bravery. there are 2 dungeons chains you open by clearing the dungeon before them - 30dungeons total.
You see the worm when you get dumpster dive, monkey with hang glider. You can make $10-$25k/run with the pole vault trick... can always do it 2-4 times for 1740xStyle points each time.
news flash, the saved games are on your hard drive... if they disappeared (and its not a hardcore game) its probably something your computer did - not this game.
has anyone tried giving a gravity gun to someone with reloading 39? I think that is when you hit -100% reload time... the highest any of my guys have is reloading 19.
