Quick way to get money ppl, when you obtain Plates (3 shells with 3 shells or by drop from some enemies) and u have 80 coins, buy a piece of leather armor at the armory in Astreas Bastion. Combine the plate and armor to make Plate Armor, then sell the new armor piece for a 70 coin profit. + so others can see this when they're stuck on getting money

Loved the game so i thought i would through some ideas out there if their is castaway 3:
1. Maybe offer weight system as you level up rather than requiring to put points in to strength to increase it
2. Possibly give more points to spend per level instead of 3 so it makes it easier to be a mage rather than forced to be a warrior.
3. Bank/Storage system or possibly the ability to make bags to carry more via the crafting feature.
4. Last but not least maybe some sort of a bow class, aka hunter, ranger etc.

The tip about morning star being the best is wrong. Also, you can only get it VERY late game. the stats on it are 28 0 0 3, the BEST weapon is the razor blade (28 3 0 0), you get this with a woodern sword (buy it in town) and 5 iron globes (3xiron ingot + Alkahest). 28 attack 3 defense for the razor or 28 attack 3 magic for the morning star (which you can get just before the 2nd last boss)

im getting tired of pressing spacebar everytime theres a boss. there should be an auto attack also shortcut keys so u dont have 2 click the bag while fighting. + this if u agree and so the developer can see this.

i like this game, but there's a glaring flaw with magic...why do most initial spells shoot the direction youre facing rather than hitting the selected enemy? its so frustrating to try to shoot a monster with a fireball and have him take the minutest step in one direction or another and you miss...it makes magic almost completely useless

The bad parts part 2: Artificial difficulty is very high (those eye variety monsters are a huge pain to deal with only because it's hard to make sure you're targeting them correctly, and then those stunlock ice snakes are pretty annoying too). The ice levels are some bad Pokemon wannabe stages. If you leave a quest for later and proceed to a different area, you won't be able to pick up its follow-up quest from the new sigil, making travel back and forth necessary if you want to finish all quests (tip: don't waste your time). Crafting is excessively annoying since you have to do it one item at a time. I'm using quick slot items far more than quick slot abilities, so it's annoying that I have keyboard shortcuts for abilities rather than items. I guess it depends on your 'class' choice.

this game gets extremely laggy...especially at night and past the hyperion gate (ice area). I've also froze up when crafting items, it skips the white flash and goes straight to the ok button but you can't click it and end up needing to refresh. MOST OF ALL if you already crafted a particular item but then get the quest to craft that item later, you don't get credit for finishing the quest. You should have those quests based upon recipe journal entry...b.c obviously if you know the recipe...you already made it. Especially annoying if the items are 1 time only pick ups. 4/5...it'll be rated up and prob fav'd when lagging / crafting / quest completion gets revamped a little.

The weight system seems unnecessary. I'm not really at an advantage for carrying 50 iron around, so why stop me? I guess potions and items sorta could make sense, but I don't understand equipment and materials.

How to earn minerals (rube, emerald, sapphire, iron) fast and easy! 1. Go to the camp site next to peeping tom's lair. After defeating Peeping Tom go back and forth between the borders, the odds are low but if your lucky you can get a ruby globe in no time! Rate + to show all about this! I already earned 7 globes (not including iron)

Revanent (Floating skull with yellow eyes) was the best pet in my opinion has high attack, magic, and agility. Only its defense is low which is solved with potions. He can pierce attack and lay down poison pools. Also great against the final boss by laying poison all over the ground and hitting all the enemies he spawns at once.

So I started playing this game and came up to those bushes in the second screen. Nothing happened, so I thought, huh, must be going some other way. Queue 15 minutes of walking everywhere, clicking on everything with E, the mouse and spacebar. Nothing happened anywhere. So I look up some walkthroughs to see how stupid I am. But no, somehow I just don't get that message popping up where the space bar does things. So I'm beaten by a bush, doomed to die.

For newbies: Buy all leather set, craft plates with 3x Shell + 3x Shell, then craft the leather set pieces with the plates to get a plate set. Hit + button to keep the comment alive.

It would be REALLY nice if the over world map was more accurate and showed trails/forks. Honestly, I keep getting lost. It's getting tedious and unfun. Especially since, somewhere, I missed a boss and am having to search all over for him. Thumbs up if you've had this problem/want a better map.

Several suggestion if Castaway 3 is going to be developed: Pet's with inventory slots 'cause they're not that helpful if they just do 30 damage overall whilst you're trying to kill a monster, stash/chest in main towns that has a large capacity or infinite storage if you're generous, crafting aid (Quick craft) click a "craft" button in the recipe list if you've got the materials to instantly craft the object, and random merchants along your adventure so you won't have to travel through a huge chunk of a map just to buy a specific item you require. If you'd like these to be in Castaway 3 just press that + button, it's shiny.

Personally, I think the Wilson badge should be impossible instead of hard simply because it took me 3 days to beat it.

Be warned; if you wish to dispose of certain monster eggs from your inventory, the first in your list will always be the one to disappear even if it's not the one you clicked.

There's this strange cacophony in the background when you disable music. It's quite low volume but still audible. You can actually hear it also when the music is on, if you listen carefully.

I've been playing the game for a whole 5 minutes, and I was instantly annoyed at the numerous clicks for menus instead of hotkeys. The game itself is awesome overall, and for free I can't complain. If you want less frustration and more enjoyment in a game, it's key to have awesome controls and customization.

"How long have I been walking like this?" Probably less than a minute, considering there is an ocean right behind you.

Just a quick crafting guide for you: Out of all Materials, only the Ores and their derivates, Alkahest and Empty Bottles have lots of uses. Other than them, you can only make a few useful things, most at the begginning of the game: Shank, Wooden Sword, Nail Bat, Beetle Shield, Regal Sword (that you use one Leather). Basically all materials are useless other than those. But don't sell the useless ones right away! Combine 3 of one material with 3 of the same, and you'll get an item. Combine 3 of these with an Alkahest and you'll earn much more money than the raw materials! (These combination steps also work for ores, making first the full ore/ingot, then transforming it into a Globe).

I can't find enough ruby shards to make a ruby, much less a globe. I'm getting dizzy walking back and forth hoping in vane for those little red piles that never appear.

So why does the screen freeze? I kinda still want to play this on Kong, so I guess if you guys had the same problem + this so creator can fix it.
