I crafted the blast shield before I got the quest I think it should be if you have done a craft quest before you do it you should get it. It would make the game a lot better. + this so the developer and others can see it.

i love how you get your first pet. it looks so helpless and weak, so you fend the baby beetles with your epic and awesomely power stick! and then the Loomi loves you, and teams up with you, and then you realize, this 'helpless' little critter has more health and hits harder then you. Castaway, making my day.

great game XD
few suggestions though
1) as Wertilq said, the crafting system is rather annoying, especially if you don't rely on the crafting guides
2) i personally find this very irritating: if you decide to be a mage,
you tend to suffer weight problems,
you sell your items such as previously crafted items ,
but later you find out you need those items you sold to make the new weapon to complete the quest >_<
1 suggestion is that a storage space (in astraea's bastion or something) is created so that you can keep your items while not surpassing your weight cap. (to deal with the weight issue)
you could also create more of each crafting resource or make them buyable (e.g., gaea seed) ; even if you aren't having a weight issue, if you sell things like the gaea seed i don't think you can buy or find another one
3) movements are slightly awkward for me
4) other people mentioned it but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE allow the players to be able to use more than 1 active pet

Please add evolutions so if our pet is a high level it will change in apperance like look and the size may change aswell. please + so devs can see this :)

Five things you could fix: 1.) the crafting 'freeze' -bug 2.) when pet attacks before you, your attack is likely not hitting because enemy gets blown out of your range 3.) game's sluggish response 4.) quests should work retro-actively. having just made a trusty dagger then 1 minute later getting a quest to make a trusty dagger is waste of time! 5.) be able to craft from recipe!

That would be nice if they told you where to go next, because I was woundering around the world for 2 hours to find the right way.

Another glitch: Monster Eggs all count as the same "item." So when you discard one, it discards the FIRST ONE IN YOUR INVENTORY. Lost a Lava Scarab Egg trying to get rid of a Revenant Egg.

Hint: Grab as much iron as you can. 3+3 Iron ore = Iron ingot. 3 Ingot = Alkahest = Iron globe. 5 Iron globes + Wooden sword = Razor Sword (equal power as Morningstar and much simpler to make (no forges required)). + To keep alive.

@Gonard3: The best weapon in the game is the Razor sword. Not the Morning star. And, you can make it way before the morning star. You just need 5 iron globes and one wooden sword (cheapest weapon in the game) and you combine for a razor sword.

Need money? Don't need shells and hides? Make beetle shields and sell them that is a quick way to get some money ( + up for people to see)

TIP: After you defeat a boss, walking in and out of the area is a good way to get resources. Big space and no monsters.

starts off ok, but then you really do need to grind to get up some levels and beat higher level enemies. also really irritating that things will hide behind the overlay (this only goes invisible if you are stood there), and annoying that you can be fighting enemies when you can't see their health bar due to them being off screen. the mechanics on the ice are terrible, you will repeatedly try and walk when you haven't pressed anything if you are mid fight. if an enemy is round a corner on a walkable part of the map, you can't hit them and sometimes you need to be stood in the right orientation and position otherwise you will not hit them at all. extremely confusing map layout, would be better to be able to use the larger map to show actual routes not a completely different layout.

I really enjoy this game but sometimes there is a bit an issue! When you get hit & craft. You controls are broken but only thing you can do it restart the browser. Make sure anyone Auto save is on or you will lose your progress! I mean seriously!

Sometimes my character just randomly freezes and I have to refresh the game. The rest of the menus and everything work fine, I just can't move. Am I doing something wrong?

TIP: at the start of the game buy the leather armor and collect six shells combine 3 of them with other 3 to make plate and then combine the armor to the plate and to make the plate armor!

Fireball, poison shot & ice shard spells -- Need to be target castable it sucks seeing it fly by a monster just because it moved 1 inch away from the cast.

I spend FOREVER trying to craft the MorningStar only to discover the Razor Sword had the SAME ATTACK. I could have had a HUNDRED Razor swords if I didn't have to keep selling Iron to make room in my backpack.
3 Iron ores+3 Iron ores= Iron Igot.
3 Iron Igots+ Alkahest= Iron Globe.
5 Iron Globes+ Wooden Sword= Razor Sword

In the start of the game already craft a Nail Bat (1 iron ingot made by crafting 3 iron ore with 3 iron ore and a timber made by crafting 3 wood with 3 wood), and you kill most monster in few hits :)
Then later on combine 3 iron Ingots with Alkaheist to get iron globe and forge that with Nail bat to get Vindicator and own everything :)

Two suggestions:
1) It would be amazing if the pets evolved and gained additional attacks
2) If we were allowed to carry two pets, then there could be some good harmony between the pets and me
3) How about pets collecting items for you?

Big request: some storage to hold all my unique items that I don't want to dispose of. I either have to focus nearly everything into strength or I get weighed down by everything.

Closed the crafting window while in the process of crafting (just for the lols) and ended up with a white screen. Browser reset was the only option.

Hey guys! I figured out the problem with not getting past the second screen in the tutorial! It's a firefox thing and it has to do with the flash player. I can't find the article I found to fix it but you have to go into your flash settings and mess with them. I'll look for the proper article.

The bad parts part 1: the plot disappeared around the time I reached the center town, and in the end cutscene, nothing was really explained. The battle system based on stamina is awkward, the bosses are too easy, you won't need even a tenth of the money you're bound to gather, emerald / sapphire / ruby / gold nodes spawn very rarely (I got ONE gold node in the whole game, and not enough of the other nodes to gather 6 of any kind of shard to make a full gem). Targeting is very difficult and positioning of yourself and monsters can be very deceptive. Ranged weapons are almost useless due to that. Never once was my pet in any danger of dying, even when I had it tank the final boss by itself, so that makes the whole hatching system rather unappealing (certainly better than the first one, though).

Anyone that wants to bypass waiting 1 hour + for your egg just move your computers clock forward 1 day, collect your egg, than move it back and there you go no wait time.

OK, manage to get the badge with a magic build character. What you need to do is equip the level 1 freeze, fire, and poison attacks, as well as the level 3 lightning and poison. Use the level 3 attack to clear the screen, have pet as agressive so he attacks the boss, and get behind the boss. While he's facing away, do the freeze attack. If it freezes, do the other two attacks. Repeat. Be ready to heal / recharge mana.

@JUBILEE321: Wow, the link to http://guidology.com/2011/05/03/castaway-2-crafting-guide is pretty much a miniature Wikia. Thanks for the link.

The game is good, much better than castaway 1, but i feel, as with the last game, it needs more major towns, or at least towns with saving spots and pet kennels. I hate using over 400 coins to warp back and forth places for a few eggs
