Elena. Jonathan. Nicky. Veile. Four would-be adventurers, drawn together by circumstance yet bound by fate. At the helm of the Little Snail, they’ve driven full speed towards the glint of an assassin’s scope, believing that sometimes, the safest place to hide from a killer is right under his nose.

Whether or not it will work, this tactic has brought them to new sights, and a new city: Calstega Bay. This industrious burg was once ruled by a tyrannical limb of the Adelvys Dynasty, Grand Sonnerian royalty and masters of the Manakin, doll-like beings brought to life by powerful, clockwork magic. When the Manakin took their freedom, they turned the Duke’s palace into a people’s plaza, and transformed the city into a seaside sanctuary for the curious and creative.

But today, the city faces a new threat. The Valte Empire. All across the world, in search of the power to halt the coming apocalypse, they have deployed their best, whether canny, competent, or cruel. Opal. Onyx. Cinnabar. Citrine. Zorite. Zircon. Alabaster. Agate. Spread across Perpetua in pairs, these marshals and commodores, these spymasters and scientists desperately seek an anti-apocalyptic solution, no matter the cost.

And today, that cost is the people of Calstega Bay, newly occupied by this airborne stratocracy. Whether by iron sword or velvet glove, the Valte plunder the city, working alongside a hired killer on his own fated mission.

As the crew of the Little Snail tries to maneuver through the world of politics and power, they may just end up in dark places, lit only by flashes of a fight older than this world—and perhaps, older than life itself.

Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.04] Some Feedback [Page 14 of 18]

Is there a way to change classes in this one or is that only in the last game?

FriendofNei

Hey guys, sorry to derail but I really need some help on the Calstega Bay section. I have most of the big fights and everything stratted out already, but the one thing I'm struggling with is the big competition section (which you should make sure to skip if you want to do ANY shopping before things really kick off, by the way!)

Is anyone able to reverse engineer how the judge calculations work? I thought it had to do with favored ingredients but I"m not sure. Anyone have any good recipes?

Also, DiamondRanger, there isn't a previous game in this series, you must be thinking of something else.

TheDiamondRanger

Isn't this a sequel to KosmoKairosis in the same universe?

As for recipes, I know how to make a hamburger, toast, and my I learned how to make scrambled eggs last week but other than that I don't cook.

Alukard83

You should try using those weird Dragon Path ingredients if you have them, I think they give bonus points?

TheDiamondRanger

Wait does this game have cooking in it?

Alukard83

. . . . . . . . . Are you even playing the game? Nicky IS A CHEF.

TheDiamondRanger

I thought NIcky Dashiel was a Dark Blade/Gourmet. And no I’m not playing, because I don’t have enough trade in points. I’m hoping i get it for my birthday though.

Alukard83

Are you allowed to be on this website? AND WHAT DO YOU THINK GOURMET MEANS.

TheDiamondRanger

I asked my dad and he says it means a really expensive meal.

Alukard83

You thought Nicky was an EXPENSIVE MEAL?

CarlsSr

Wait, how DO you make a hamburger in Perpetua?
