Airships with sky pirates spawn randomly and patrol in little circles around the world map. They drop emblems that you can sell for shadow coins.

Good to know that they are doing something about having to grind levels out. I was 2-3 levels below the next dungeon and had to grind those out as it said impossible for all difficulty options. After completing that dungeon the next area is again 2-3 levels above me with mobs that can take 70-80% of my health in one hit. When you combine that with the gear drops not really helping with most of my equipment being 3-8 levels below my current character levels its a huge problem. Thats with me having to grind for a few hours and getting loot whilst doing that.
Its super frustrating because it was one of my favourite games this year before all the technical problems and now hitting this progression wall.

Think it's just the PS4 the devs had a forum sticky saying for a bit saying it was a PS4 issue that didn't appear internally and only saw it when reviews went out. Though it could be happening on Xbox I haven't seen it mentioned by them or anyone else.
I played 3 hours yesterday and I really like it. I did the first dungeon on Heroic and it was pretty challenging. Next time, I really need to make sure to rest at the inn beforehand and it was also not really a good idea to in battle against those chest to see them in battle.
Here what they wrote, this seem like their current plan for the next update :
I like my game when they are challenging, i'm sure they can balance thing out to be a little less frustrating.

Yeah, that was the takeaway I got from an update they posted to Kickstarter backers:
I paid extra to upgrade to a physical copy on Switch, so I better get the physical copy when it ships. I claimed a digital code on Steam for the time-being to pick up where I left off in the backer beta (saves carry over).
Sounds like a memory leak.
nah

Where is that?!
i think it's in the room where there 2 spike trap, with 2 fireball trap, that seem to be random no where in the room. The wall can be break with a special ability

GMG is sending out 25% off coupons for this. Just a heads up.
oh the
well was IN the dungeon? I got the crank but thought the well was out in the world
guess ill have to try a legendary run or something. Speaking of, when should you try to run dungeons again on legendary? I did the first dungeon on heroic (I didnt do normal).
I did it and
even tho it said "the owner will remember that" when I got the owner in the store, the person never mentioned it.

Oh, it's out in the overworld? Know where in particular?
And legendary was locked for me. Haven't checked if completing it in Heroic unlocks it or not.
it does unlock it but I didnt try it.
and i didnt say it was out in the world, I assumed it was. There is a
well in the first main town (although that is for another thing)
well
Beating the dungeon once unlocks legendary, which seems to boost the levels of everyone inside. Good change, because it wasn't like that in the beta so after your initial run it was pretty much a cakewalk.
If anyone ever figures out how to get a Mana Infused Deep Iron Ingot, I'd love to hear how.

I get the Well crank as well as the Well to spawn in the Iron Outpost. For some reason, I didn't get all of the lore books for one of the lore sets from the dungeon. I'm thinking, due to the randomness of the dungeons, that perhaps certain things like the Well or even the lore books could be random whether they're all in there or not? I might try a Legendary run on it and find out.
Use shadow coins to buy the best rod/lure the artifact dealer has, it pays off quickly. You also come across another guy soon that can help you out.
speaking of shadow coins, can we safely sell artifacts, is that all they are for?

I can't make up my mind between PS4 and PC....ugh. I love the couch lounging of PS and the controller, but I like the performance of PC. Hrmmm.

Oh yeah, the dungeons are randomised right? Makes sense if certain stuff doesn't spawn. Another person got the well handle in a chest in the dungeon itself, while I didn't (even after opening all chests except secret wall one). Will check the secret wall.
So fishing gear is the best use for shadow coins at the start? Haven't spent mine yet. Haven't found anyone to sell the fishes to either yet.

I'll check it out in a bit, I'm sure when I looked at them the stats were red and said like -54 or something though! Maybe just me being dumb.

The manual shows a picture of a man-shark.
Oh, that's one tooltip I've seen that has been bugged, the fishing stat comparison numbers. Compare the actual value on your rod/lure, not what it says is the +/- is.
For reference, I think this is the first rod I got from the collector, which lasted me through the first 3 dungeons or so.
The owner remembered it for me, they
just ask if i know who ripped their sign, and 'bretto gets nervous

Any word on the Switch release date?
is there any penalty for trying a legendary dungeon and failing? if not think ill give that first one a go, my party is lvl 8, probbaly get destroyed tho.
edit: oh neat it actually shows the difficulty of the dungeon, appart from choosing normal/heroic/legendary.
Like its showing "very easy" for normal/heroic now, and "easy" for Legendry. Thats a really neat touch. Game is full of those in fact.

You lose coin, that seems to be the only penalty for dying except on some dungeon end bosses.
And the dungeon resets, which it doesn't on other difficulties.

I had to test it when I got home at lunch, but when you spawn a dungeon after choosing your difficulty, it stays like that until you reset it or beat it. I went in, chose Legendary on the Iron Outpost, killed some enemies and looted a chest, save/quit to desktop and reloaded. It kicked me out to the world map, but when I went inside, it saved the progress of killing those enemies (they stayed dead) and the chest was still looted.
I would've preferred to have just spawned exactly where I saved, but I guess it's better than starting over from scratch. Oh and Legendary settings seemed to have increased the level range of enemies by 3.

Haha yeah, also you can remove perks and choose others any time you want.
that I knew.
finished the first dungeon in Legedary at lvl 8 and it was super easy. Got me to lvl 9 and it was quite different from the first run on heroic which is nice. Still no well tho lol, fuck it, not doing it again.
I did find a secret wall for Gully's ability, and maybe its not lways the case, but there was some sort of wind coming out of it, so that might be a indiction keep an eye out.
Got a couple of upgrades too, and crafted some new rings inside the dungeon, so it was worth doing. As usual, helps that the combt is fantastic.
Level 9 tho so Im probably overlvled so going straight into heroic in dungeon 2 (well I went straight to heroic in the first one also heh)
Flint pops up randomly in the local dungeon (Iron Fort, I think?) and in resource nodes on the world map.
Well I've reached the point where I have to grind to proceed and it's sucked all the energy right out of the game.
I guess they thought their random dungeon generator was hot enough shit that people would want to do these dungeons repeatedly? Cause it's not and we don't.

Which dungeon are you at? I know there's one jump where there's a dungeon that's a few levels above where you get to it at, but there are two Exploration areas that fill the level gap.
