Hi everyone,
In this dev-blog, we will talk about Terra Randoma’s consumables, valuables and books.
Potions:
There are many potions you will need to use in Terra Randoma for various situations; including healing your wounds, curing confusion, poison or disease. Potions that boost certain attributes, like strength or speed, are also available. However you will not only be using them for your own character, you can also use them to help the settlements when they face crisis. If you bring a number of cure disease potions to a settlement with epidemic you will gain reputation and help the settlement as well. You can also buy them cheap when there is an alchemy festival and sell them across the island for profit. Potions can be bought from the shops, adventurer’s guild or traveling alchemists. They can also be collected from alchemy tables, chests or barrels you may find along the way.
Food:
Your character in Terra Randoma gets hungry. Each step on the over-world plain tiles takes 1 hour (and twice as much on the forest and mountain tiles), so hunger will be an issue when planning your route. You also need to pay attention at hunger during combat because he gets hungry faster when his stamina level falls below the half. So when you start a journey to a far place or a quest to a dungeon, you need to make sure you have room for food in your backpack.
You can buy food at the settlements and the adventurer’s guild. You may also come across farmers or hunters along the way willing to sell food at more affordable prices. Rich settlements have more variety and quantity than smaller settlements, the guild and the independent merchants.
You can also forage fruits and vegetables in the forests or do hunting. Both options will mean that you encounter hostile beasts in order to be able to earn your food.
Finally, you can find food from sacks or barrels you come across throughout the game.
Valuables:
Valuables are treasures include items like mirrors, figurines, or a telescope made of copper, bronze, silver, gold or porcelain. Gems and jewelry are also available. There are also “materials” that usually drop from enemies like spider silk, bucket of slime, or a rat skull.
Books:
Terra Randoma is somewhat an intellectually thriving island in which many people love reading. Even the most unexpected creature, like a ratman slinger, may be carrying a philosophical book in his sack. There are endless possibilities to book names. They give you experience if you care to read, or decent money if you decide to sell.
