Practical use

Your opening plan

1. 01

   First hour: pause to arrange the town, read class skills and set a manageable first dungeon goal.

2. 02

   Assign combat roles, check equipment and fill supplies. A missing healer and an empty potion slot are different problems.

3. 03

   After a run, inspect low-health/low-mana timing, unused supplies and remaining boss health. Change one weakness before retrying.

4. 04

   First day: compare stock with production targets; purchase a bottleneck only after comparing its price with your recipe inputs.

5. 05

   Keep working members and combat members visible in separate plans. Tavern jobs can help members who are not currently fighting.

6. 06

   Before another session, review Mood, current patch changes and one concrete progression goal.

After the first defeat

Do not spend all your gold on a general Combat Power increase before reading the log. If the tank falls while healing resources remain, inspect defensive stats and healing priorities. If mana empties early, compare ability use with potion availability. If the party survives but the boss remains healthy, examine damage contribution and attack settings.

These are diagnostic choices, not a guaranteed composition. Record your party, equipment and discovered information so that the next run is a controlled comparison rather than a guess.

A practical first-day budget

Keep a reserve for supplies and the next production bottleneck. A building that enables the item you need can matter more than a cosmetic expansion; an immediate market purchase can also be sensible when it saves a long wait. Use current prices rather than a remembered price from an older save.

Finish the day with enough replenishment for the next planned run. Avoid calling a checklist complete merely because you own a recipe: you still need its ingredients, the appropriate production access and enough available stock.
