I admit to bullshitting. I apologize.

Not enemy drops, but you could fish for the Seedler (hardmode weapon from Plantera) pre-hardmode before a patch in Terraria.

FUCK YOU WARFRAME

Your sin is atoned.
Be in piece.

In b4 "name one game" it's Rune Factory.

There is almost certainly a fire dungeon that gives a fire sword that includes a fire boss immune to fire. You're probably right even if you can't name the game.

How would you possibly have enough money to buy all three of these and not already have just as good/comparable equipment?

Everybody loves Space Dandy.

At that point I just take a minute to grind the money, efficiency be damned.

This is, like, literally the fucking opposite of the way it should be.

user, you're playing with fire, watch it.

I dunno, could work.

>space level

>halfway through the game you have more money than you can possibly spend

How do you grind money in RPGs?

Usually the same way you level grind?

>Go out of town

Gee, I dunno?

>Have to grind for hours for materials to get new weapons

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Bravely series is a fun one.

user pls

Regardless of anything else, I did say "efficiency be damned".

Not to mention you're probably pretty close to that final item anyway.

At least let me buy whores.

Well of course, Dragon's Dogma players post in packs.

What are some games that do Shops right?

The only way to make shops right is to have them offer exclusive shit you literally can't find anywhere else, which is why literally the only thing I used my money for in Xenoblade Chronicles X was for buying Skell frames when I reached the required level for them.

>play pokemon
>buy ten pokeballs
>get a free premier ball
>sell the regular pokeballs immediately after buying them
>keep the premier ball

>buy 50 balls at once because i can afford it, thinking i'll get 5 premier ball

>Because it loved you it landed a critical hit!

And that's when I stopped using Amie.

>End game dungeons encounter rates cannot be toggled on/off

Right. Or just make the loot in the world very rare.

This is not a good sign though.

If shit is too easy to get its bad news.

I could see something like that happening in BoF4

Those first two posts are within one auto update/posting delay of each other, basically simultaneous.
