Caravan Stories - Basic Walkthrough

Caravan Stories: Basic Walkthrough/Guide

Overview
Welcome back to the world of Caravan Stories! Whether you're playing on PS4 or the Japanese PC version, here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate through the game. The two versions are fundamentally the same, but the PC version offers better bonuses, like the availability of 5-star gear for characters like Sophia.

Five Basic Goals

  1. Complete the Four Starter Races:
    Start with Human, Elf, Dwarf, and Orc. Completing the stories and reincarnating opens new options and locations.

  2. Start with the Human Story:
    The Human story grants you the powerful S-Class character, Sophia, who can carry you through much of the game.

  3. Build a Good Team:
    Assemble a balanced team with diverse character types and classes.

  4. Upgrade Your Caravan:
    Prioritize internal upgrades first, then focus on external enhancements.

  5. Learn to Kite:
    While many battles can be auto-played, some require manual dodging and movement. Mastering the kiting technique will help you in tougher fights, like Emily's 2nd mission.

Building a Good Team

When assembling your team, consider these five aspects:

  • Type: Match elemental types (Wind, Earth, Water, Fire) for bonuses.
  • Class: Include a mix of roles (Tank, Mage, Buffer, Jammer, Healer).
  • Gear: Equip the best weapons and sub-gear.
  • Skills: Make sure your characters have complementary skills.
  • Star Level: Higher star levels improve character effectiveness.

Recommended Starting Team (Human Story)

  • Tank: Sophia
  • Healer: Fholk (consider replacing with Slaveia or Paylan later)
  • Mage: Lena
  • Jammer: Alotie
  • Buffer: Rolomeu (may take time to unlock)
  • DPS: To be determined

Gear Management

For gear acquisition:

  • Sophia: Get her 5-star gear through daily login gifts on the PC version.
  • Support Characters: Upgrade Fholk and Lena to 3 and 4 stars to receive their respective gear for free.

For additional characters, forge gear, combine items, or try your luck with gacha pulls. Completing quests also occasionally yields gear, particularly in the Gessy Story.

Star Level Upgrades

Characters can be upgraded using anima, with maximum levels reaching up to six stars:

  • 10 Anima = 2 Star
  • 20 Anima = 3 Star
  • 50 Anima = 4 Star
  • 100 Anima = 5 Star
  • 200 Anima = 6 Star

Quick Ways to Earn Anima:

  • Daily Anima: Collect up to 10 from characters in your Caravan.
  • Recall Missions: Complete missions for tokens to redeem Anima.
  • Character Stories: Progress through character stories and complete upgrade missions.

Upgrading Your Caravan

Maximize internal upgrades first by constructing and enhancing all available components at your current level. After reaching a decent level, start working on external upgrades, focusing on obtaining a freeze gun and upgrading poison guns.

Item Management

To manage your inventory effectively:

  • Auto-Sell Rules: Sell low-level items (1 or 2 star) automatically unless needed for quests.
  • Gear Recipes: Sell recipes for characters you don't own to free up space.

Daily Missions & Gold Mining

  • Daily Missions: Complete these for valuable rewards and tokens.
  • Gold Mining: Access the daily gold mine, unlocking the 2nd level, and use characters with drop rate bonuses to maximize your gains.

By participating in gold runs, you can collect 4-star gold bars worth 3,000 each. A good run can yield up to 630k gold in 15 minutes.

Experience Orbs and NPC Quests

  • Philosopher Tower: For late-game, gather experience orbs efficiently by mining in the tower's second level.
  • NPC Quests: Complete NPC quests to earn gold and jewels, even exceeding your limits.

Auto Fighting for Gold

Auto-fighting can be a useful method to gather gold. Set a character with a 10% gold gain bonus as your leader, and configure auto-sell rules to optimize your earnings during long play sessions.

Phantasm and Gacha Rolls

Save your phantasm for gacha rolls and look out for special offers. You can accumulate around 30k phantasm throughout the early game, which translates to substantial value.

Future Goals and Strategy

As you continue, focus on building a robust 4-star team. Currently, you’re aiming to assemble a team consisting of Sophia, Elf Avatar, Slaveia, Rolomeu, Alotie, and Lili. Determine the best DPS to complement your setup while upgrading Lena.

Conclusion

Caravan Stories offers a deep and engaging experience with plenty of customization. By following this guide and continually refining your strategies, you’ll enhance your gameplay and enjoy the adventure even more! Happy gaming!

Sony MDR-ZX100 vs ZX-110 vs ZX310 Series Headphones

Sony ZX Series Headphones Review: A Budget-Friendly Sound Choice If you’re on the hunt for budget-friendly headphones with decent quality, the Sony ZX Series is definitely worth considering. I happen to own several models from the lineup: ZX-100 ZX-110 ZX-310 Let’s dive into how they compare in terms of build quality, cost, specs, sound, and overall value. Build Quality: ZX-310 Takes the Lead The Sony ZX series headphones primarily feature a durable plastic construction. My ZX-100 has lasted over 2½ years, enduring countless tosses into my backpack and car without any issues. However, the lower-end ZX-100 and ZX-110 models have a significant downside: poor-quality earpads. Over time, these earpads disintegrate, leaving vinyl flakes that stick to your hair and ears. The ZX-310, on the other hand, comes with upgraded earpads that don’t suffer from this problem, making them a clear winner in the build department. Cost Comparison: ZX-100/110 Wins for Affordability While the ZX-310 model co

Casio G-Shock 5600 vs 6900 vs 9000

G-Shock Preferences and Favorites After trying out several G-Shock models, I've developed a better sense of the specific features and design elements I appreciate most. While features are always a plus, my main priority is size . Here's how some of the models I've tried stack up. Size Preference: DW-5600 Series For overall size, the DW-5600 series stands out as a favorite due to its compact, comfortable form. It’s slim, lightweight, and fits well on my wrist without being too bulky. Although the 6900 series provides the benefit of a well-placed front illumination button, the 5600 remains the ideal size for everyday wear. Best Compromise: G9000 Mudman Series If I had to choose a balanced option between size, comfort, and functionality, the G9000 Mudman series would be it. The buttons are slightly tough to press, but the layout and form factor resonate with what I prefer in a G-Shock. Despite having different module versions (GLX, G, and DW), I find that these models offe

Eton Microlink FR160 Radio -- Sticky Residue

Eton Microlink FR160 Handcrank Radio Review I bought an Eton Microlink FR160 handcrank radio for my emergency kit a few years ago, and it’s been great overall. However, there’s one significant issue I've encountered. Sticky Residue Problem Over time, a sticky residue developed on the radio's external surface, which was driving me nuts. At first, I thought there was something wrong with the device. Solution Fortunately, I researched the problem online and discovered that Eton radios are coated with a substance designed to make them easier to grip. Unfortunately, this coating degrades over time and turns into a sticky mess. To resolve the issue, I used isopropyl alcohol and cotton balls to clean most of the gunk. While some paint may have been lost in the process, at least the radio is no longer sticky.
