Gameplay Log:
Wanted to start breeding.
Breeding farm underground so started redoing foundation.
Wanted to make many cakes. Looked up honey -> Beegarde
Bushi + Penking -> Anubis
Mossanda + Petallia -> Lyleen
Looked up: many combos -> Rayhound; Mossandra + Rayhound -> Grizzbolt; Grizzbolt + Relaxaurus -> Orserk
High Quality Pal Oil -> Dumud
Closed game. Haven't got Orserk yet.
Steam Game Time: 66.6 hours (cumulative game time) / 9.9 hours (session game time)
20251029:
Got Orserk.
Trying to breed a better Orserk
Looking for Electric Organ to make Beakon saddle. Slowed down progress due to making Rayhound saddle. Ended up buying some Electric Organs.
Looked up a good spot for farming coal. Got coordinates. Broke down second base. Working on main base.
Tried to fight third boss (electric one) with SV. We were able to deal about half damage. Learned during fight that it is weak against ground and ice.
Steam Game Time: 77.1 hours (cumulative game time) / 10.5 hours (session game time)

20251101:
Gameplay Log:
Game was crashing quite often. I didn't know that something still needs to reach their server.
So at some point the number of crashes resulted in taking a break; though also cause I was sleepy
20251102:
We set a base near the quartz to the south. But later I looked up coordinates for a new quartz location. I closed down both our ore base and the new quartz base to set up at this new quartz location.
Breeding a Jormintide Ignis. After catching a Jormintide, needed a Blazehowl so bred that first. Took a while to get Blazehowl to inherit passives from best Orserk, and subsequently for the Jormintide Ignis to inherit from Blazehowl [though if I recall, I later took two Jormintide Ignis with split passives that could be combined to get ideal passives]. Comment: best here is with respect to passives easily accessible to my current Pals.
Also trying to breed better Anubis.
Steam Game Time: 102.9 hours (cumulative game time) / 15.8 hours (session game time)*
*A few breaks here and there. Maybe at most 30-45 minutes of breaks.

Steam Game Time: 104.6 hours (cumulative game time) / 1.7 hours (session game time)
20251104:
Gameplay Log:
The last item we tried for the night was capturing another Astegon. Since I caught the Astegon the other day, it was SV to catch this one. After many spheres used, we ended up dying and had various difficulties recovering our gear. We ended the night with defeating Astegon instead of capturing it. In any case, we eventually did a retrospective which revealed that SV had not upgraded his capture rate (via the Effigies).
I left the game on for SV to do a few things
Next morning:
Collect all goods, all Vixy eggs
Looked up spot for mushrooms. From Reddit I found these coordinates: (95, -383)
Looked up spot for tomato speeds: Wandering Merchant at fisherman's Point, roughly (-478, -743)
Steam Game Time: 118.2 hours (cumulative game time) / TBD hours (session game time) / TBD hours (idle time)
20251109 Snapshot:
Notes for 20251105-20251107 were lost after system crash. Which is odd cause I felt I would have pressed "Update" in the Blogger interface. Anyways, yesterday (20251108) I was looking into gold farming. While there's a complex method of crafting and selling Legendary Spheres, it's easier to just use the Gold producing conveyor belt.

Changed max bases from 4 to 6. However, at the moment we've only unlocked 5 bases. The idea is, since we are two players, to each have two personal bases, a shared breeding base, and a shared base dedicated to fights.

Gameplay Log:
Wrapping up before switching to PoE2.
Tried to fight Feybreak boss again, and while damage was decent, he had an attack which took me out twice (once where I was revived by Herbil and the second time to finish me off). That makes me a weak point in the battle. Of course I could try to increase the damage of my Pals via various boosts and food, and more fire moves.
