There was no skill up for fixing all of Komachi’s gear, which was only in need of a light layer of TLC. Perhaps it was because most of her gear wasn’t very strong, or that it wasn’t in need of much repair.
Her [Flamewool Cloak] was the worst off, but Sam was able to fix i...

“A real set of bodonkers,” Sam agreed, continuing the joke.
That got Komachi into it. “Packin’ some dobon honkeros!”
The ridiculous bit went so far that ...
2023-10-05 13:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostSam highly doubted that the [Evasion] skill was only available to the Swordsman Job. He was curious to see what another Job’s take on it would be.
While useful, he didn’t technically need it to avoid damage. Having more stats and a greater [Armor Foundation] seemed to help ...

The relaxing warmth of the Sacred Tree’s spring was more than enough of an argument to stay put while Sam went through his notifications.
First up was the conflict quest.

A gentle, but insistent, paw prodded his face until Sam woke up. For a moment, he thought he had fallen asleep in the apartment’s communal hot tub beside the dinky little pool again.
Komachi always made sure to wake him up before the Super came around and kicked him out. Ther...

“Who are you?”

Slowing down, the fury bled out of the Chaos Sage. The enemies were felled, those that threatened the Tree repelled.
All around, peace was returning to the Skyshard.
“The fight is over. Let go of the Chaos,” Raiko pleaded to the hollow version of herself. She reached ...
