The AdventureFriends Conclusion is Here!

Hey there, students!

Welcome back to Aspenvale Academy, where everything is perfectly fine!



AdventureFriends Part 2 is here! Things are looking dire for the QuestVenture, but with friendship and teamwork, nothing can stop the students of Aspenvale Academy!

You can access AdventureFriends Part 2 from the Book of Lore, or the Hero's Heart Day storybook, Chapter ???. Note: You'll have to replay the ending of Part 1 before proceeding to Part 2.
The Aspenvale Academy Uniform is also now available!



The Student class has a set of basic skills for adventuring, as well as a wide variety of customization options. All options are also color-custom!

Skills:

Everything does 1 hit.

  • Attack - 100% damage.
  • Defensive Stance - +180 to Avd for 2 turns, 4 turn cd.
  • Stun - 3 turn stun, 14 turn cd.
  • Aimed - +30 Bonus for 5 turns (including this attack), 4 turn cooldown
  • Power - +75 Boost attack, 0 cooldown
  • Cleave - hit all enemies for 120% damage, 2 turn cd.
  • Disarming Strike - -20 Boost to foe for 5 turns, 4 turn cd.
  • Wound - 20% DoT for 5 turns, 4 turn cd.
  • Final, 150% damage, +200 to crit., 9 turn cd.

    You can pick it up for 1000 Dragon Coins from the Hero's Heart Day storybook, Chapter ???, as well as Cysero's Superstore of Savings.

    Big thanks to Dracelix for creating the art for the customization options!
    Now for some updates and fixes!
  • Added a skip dialogue button to AdventureFriends (both parts). Clicking it will jump you ahead to the next major event.
  • Added affinity pop-ups in the top right of AdventureFriends for easier tracking of your friendship with your fellow students!
  • Fixed a bug where guests in titan battles would not scale properly.
  • Ice Scythe activation chance increased to 7%.
  • Health Boost and Ultra Health Boost values are halved for DragonByte Epoch. (1.5%, down from 3%, and 2.5%, down from 5%).

    I know I should've seen it coming, but

    spoiler:

    I just knew I had to pick Tomix at the end even though I hadn't gotten any affinity points with him....

    And surely enough I my suspicions were confirmed. xD Dove you scoundrel!
    I didn't mind though... It was still nice to visit an old friend... ;w;

    Besides I got a date Alz'ein on my second run! Absolute WIN!


    This has been one of my favourite holiday events of any AE game. It seems I'm saying this often nowadays, but y'all have outdone yourselves! And Darkon's backgrounds too! *chief's kiss*

    Are there different rewards for acception/rejection?

    Seems like you get a different thing hanging from the backpack every time you get full affection. I finished Alz'ein and Yashta already, get rejected by Jaaina no matter what i do and still get hit right in the feels whenever i see Tomix.

    So, anyone tried out the new Student armour? Because just by going off the skill description alone that they give here in this update it seems like might be better off buying an Evolved CCL armour for half the price (or upgrade it for a fraction of the price if I have a DA).

    Great release; this was top tier holiday fluff :)

    Thoughts on other parts of the DNs:

    I really like the uniform - it's quite pretty, without being another instance of a pay2win class (it's basically a sidegrade to base warrior, with better defenses but way worse offenses).

    Ice Scythe activation chance increased to 7%

    I'm quite happy to see the proc rate buffed after the long discussion on Discord last Monday (and also my long post on forums). 7 or 8% was a nice compromise between the previous 10% and the 5% of last week.

    I don't mind the lack of skills nor animation in Student Class if Tomix or Verly could add the VIP armour from Gala, The .
    Tell you what, give additional skills from other class with the VIP armor, I don't mind paying another 500 dc for the additional "features".

    Helpful!


    I really liked this release. One of my favourite storybook releases, if not the favourite. I got Jaania and Alz'ein already on my two characters, time to start start seeing how others go down.

    That was an awesome tribute to Doki Doki literature club! I even found some cool easter eggs in the blacked out text panels:

    If you manage to decipher any of the ones I've missed, do share!

    Tomix route hits too hard right in the feels
    Aria already has Ash and she's (probably)almost young enough to be the hero's daughter
    Alzein's a great choice but she's a little bit too much of a violent meathead
    Victoria's arguably the best girl here
    But most importantly. Why can't we have Falwynn?

    Not only the best HHD release but easily the best holiday release.
    I never realized how much i needed this. Wouldn't mind if we could get a sequel next year including villains too.

    spoiler:

    As soon as we got the glitches and the word doom was mentioned i was sure some doom spirit was involved in some way, guess i was over thinking it. I was hoping it was real (because Tomix is alive) maybe some alternative dimension but too bad the ending was the harsh reality.

    So far i only did 2 ending Ash and Tomix.
    I could handle Ash's polite rejection but Jesus Tomix's ending was so depressing. I could only blame myself i mean i didn't know what was i thinking when i choose him. Guess i was too happy to see him after all these years and way too naive and stupid to think it was all a lie. Even though it would've been better if when you got max affection with Tomix you visit his grave and got a nice flashback montage cutscene with him (i know it's way too much work but it would've been perfect).

    I have some questions:

    Is there any reason for getting the affection points? I got max for both Ash and Tomix and i was still rejected (pretty sure all endings is about our hero being rejected).

    Do we get the same Tomix ending even if we didn't finish his story and he's still alive? I heard rumors the ending is different then. Can anyone confirm it?


    I'm not that overwhelmed about the new class. I was hoping it's like a redesigned base class. I think it's way too weak especially for 1000 dc. It's nice and all but it will only collect dust in my bank since you can't really use it without you soon getting killed.

    @spirit of greed: I'll just leave your answer in a spoiler box, just in case. Hopefully it answers your question.

    spoiler:

    I've got the good ending with Yashta and Aegis. The affection points show you which of them have the most affection for you. Basically, to get a good end with Yashta and Aegis, I had to pay close attention to the impact of my decisions. Esentially, you have to make all of the right decisions to impress the one you want to go QuestVenturing with.

    As far as Tomix goes, I'm pretty sure you might be right. However, I wouldn't give up on Ash just yet.

    spoiler:

    That was certainly interesting. I loved the music and sound effects adding to the creepiness. I got rejected by everyone except Yashta, Victoria, and Aria (I can't believe even my soul-ally didn't want to hang out). I think Victoria is the best match for the hero canonically, since they're both good-hearted adventurers and we've probably known her the longest. The rest of the options seem like they're mostly just friends, except for Jaania of course (also we've know Aria since she was a little girl so choosing her seems wrong).

    Yep, really love these two releases.

    I really wonder if it is explained as said in the quest or
    spoiler:

    whether it was actually Remthalas like we thought and that it will be explained in the next quest
    .

    I kept messing up Ash as well @Spriti of Greed, so below are the multiple choices outside of subcommittee activities (I'm sure this will be helpful for the Encyclopaedia entry when it gets added), the subcommittee choices are fairly obvious.

    spoiler:


    Aspenvale Welcome
    Welcome - + Alz'ein, Aria, Yashta
    Say Nothing - + Tomix, Jaania (What, why?!)

    Tomix Missing
    Speak Up - + Tomix, Yashta, Victoria
    Say Nothing - + Jaania, Ash, Aegis

    More exciting class
    Agree with Robina - + Alz'ein, Ash, Victoria
    Say Nothing - + Jannia, (and someone else but not sure as it flashes too quickly)

    QuestVenture 2
    Speak up - + Everyone

    You should be able to tell before you wake up by the person asking you to go on the QuestVenture with them, however on a Activities run through (e.g. not in the Aegis storyline) I selected Aegis at the end so I could see his rejection, and somehow he accepted (I have now also got his rejection).

    @Spirit of Greed another one for Ash is to side with Aria about the Petting Zoo when Alz'ein is first introduced.

    spoiler:

    In order to get the actual Tomix endings, you need to complete his "route" on a character that hasn't completed Void Ship.
