Fantastic! One last question then.. I'm looking for a high level Melee that has a chance to drop a chest (ideally 25%), does such a thing exist? I remember someone else posting about a human that had this, so hoped there may be a Melee too Thanks!
Hmm, not sure if in-reel bonus is working - Best chest, Better chest and in-reel bonus gives primarily weapon drops from experience. swapping in the bonus loot x4 does appear to give far more bonus type drops.. Anyone else have any experience with this?
Hum... Looking into this it seems that in-reel bonus gives more chance to get an in-reel bonus IF the chest decides to drop a bonus item. So you'd need to equip both more bonus and more in-reel bonus for this to work best... I'll try to patch this in the update so that you don't need the more bonus to be equipped.
The update was submitted to Apple this afternoon. It should be out by the end of next week or a couple of days after that if all goes well. Can't wait to hear comments for the update!

Would there be any benefits or encouragements to use Hard mode? E.g. some of the secret weapons only available in Hard mode?
No it's like most other games: It's the same game but more challenging. The only encouragements I can think of is for those seeking the new achievements.
That sounds like a great update. I've been taking it slow so far and have almost finished volume 3 (about halfway through) so this update is coming at a perfect time. A question on an item that I see sometimes: I love the transmutation potions, and sometimes I'll see a potion emerge with an X in the upper left, and it only does 1 damage. What's happening there?
That's a weakness potion. It makes the enemy take more damage from any source while under the effect of that potion. It's also cumulative
Thanks multimage! I love the potions with the varied effects. I've definitely taken quite a shine to the necromancer and the alchemist. The creativity and randomness make them both a lot of fun to use. I think the tamer, alchemist, necromancer party is my favorite so far, though I have a hard time cycling out the cyrborgette due to her fun voice samples and high damage. That's a sign of a well-balanced game, when you have a hard time deciding on your favorites. I love the randomness of the transmutation potions, though I can imagine that its lack of damage predictability would drive some players nuts. Looking forward to checking out the update when I finish Volume 3!
Loving the update! Spoiler Man those lovers are tough.. don't know how I'm gonna tackle 'em, gonna need some better gear! Quick tip - You only need one painting equipped, and you don't have to equip the weapons they have a resistance to like previous secret weapons *EDIT* Beat one (Necromancer) - Do the paintings only drop from gold chests, or any chest? Currently working on the kitten, fast mode helps!
I always love hearing about party builds! So many combinations and yes, they should all be able to go through the game. Spoiler Paintings have a chance to drop when you use weapons from a class during a battle. So if you never use guns in battle, the Gunner painting will never get a chance to drop. The paintings drop from any chest. Even if an enemy was not giving out a chest, it will force drop a chest to have the painting in it when it needs to.
Spoiler Thanks Multi! - I've been using Best and Better chests, super chests, 8-10 drops a time and not seeing the paintings, but it sounds like those won't make a difference anyway! Ah well, more grinding for me ;-)
Hi Multi, loving chapter 4 so far! I especially love the challenge even though I grinded out the last chapter and was expecting a pushover! One question, does the respec price double indefinitely or cap out?
