Hail Apprentice! We noticed a lot of new folks since Best Elf was featured on New and Trending, so we wanted to say welcome and hope you enjoy your time at Stars Reach! This story takes place before Best Elf, so you are going to see where it all began. (= Where to find Eleanna and Zariinna from Best Elf:

Eleanna can be found in the Archery Range, and on top of choosing the right things to say, you will need to increase your Dexterity & Discipline to romance her.
Zariinna doesn't enter the story until the end of week 1, and is a bit more complicated depending whether you wish to join her in evil or turn her to good.
In order to get the maximum lead up to Best Elf, you need to achieve the True Good Ending and complete the first DLC: Escape from Borg Mountain. The Faultyverse is a wide world full of deep lore and hidden secrets, so I will let you explore it for yourself. Again, welcome and best of luck with your apprenticeship! -Din

[quote=author]Since the battle, Stars Reach Castle has been peaceful and light. However, for a certain two elves, things haven't been going quite right... Is it the result of a contest with tunics most wet, or perhaps two personalities that conflict and don't set, a feud has erupted between two elves that just met. From training proclivity to fun time activity, no matter the task, no matter the reason, these girls have not limit, well except maybe treason. Has Eleanna's want to be the best gone from desire to obsessed? Or have Zariinna's reprisals gone from taunts to torments? This rivalry is sure to get worse before it relents, and soon comes the time to give your two cents. As Champion of Stars Reach, strong-bodied and good health, do you have what it takes to determine who is best elf? Faulty Apprentice: Best Elf is a stand-alone visual novel featuring 🔞 content. The timeline takes place according to the true good ending of Faulty Apprentice. However, players will not need to have played the original game or DLC to enjoy this story. 💘 This is a lighthearted dating sim that features hand-painted reward illustrations, Live2d animations, and high-quality voice acting. There will not be any minigames or good/evil routes like in the original Faulty Apprentice game, but the choices you make will unlock different reward scenes, so choose wisely!
Wishlist Faulty Apprentice: Best Elf on Steam now!
