Okay so here’s basic shit to do at the beginning, and some info.
-On the eastern side of the northern part of the village is the lake, you can learn magic from the demon there, it’s seems hidden.
-Go to the dojo for skills for the Maid, honestly just pouring stats into her strength and attacking just works.
-You can upgrade most of Mery’s starting gear right at the beginning, for free, you just need to unequip it first.
-Get Anima Conversion, it’s the only way to regen MP without items.
-DO NOT learn the healing spell, it needs 100 mp to work and that will take a while to get.
-To level you need to go to the private home in the southern part of town on the eastern side, interact with the statue and distribute stats.
