He uses 2 heavy weapons at the same time and has the highest stats out of any party member, at the cost of needing significantly more EXP to level up. Woodcutting: Building bridges requires materials. Fallen logs are common in the valley forests, you'll need to keep some in stock if you want to reach some areas. The shop in town also sells wood if you need some in a hurry. Mining: Small outcrops of ore and stone dot the resource rich valley where Calvin's begins his journey. Stone, metal, and powerful upgrade items can be harvested from them. Fishing: Tired from a long day of adventuring? Take a rest at the local fishing hole and catch some fish. There are 11 different fish that can be caught in Calvin's gallery, with some only being found in very specific areas. Bring them to speedy for special rewards. Gardening: Plants grow fast in the valley. There are four plants you can grow: Herbs, magic fruit, treasure plants, and crystal plants. Herbs: A mix of different herbs that are great for brewing different healing items and cooking food. Magic Fruit: Fruits that permanently increase HP or MP of whoever eats them. Treasure plants: Grow your own treasure chest! Crystal Plants: A wide range of crystal and gem items that can be used in combat, sold, or used to increase your attributes. The graveyard: One of the first areas you explore and a major place of interest as you level up. In the graveyard are a series of small shrines for each character. At these shrines you can spend points to increase specific stats, allowing you to directly influence the growth of your team. You can also select 'random' to randomly allocate the attribute bonuses. Combat! When you aren't working hard to mine and garden, there are monsters to fight! Over the last few generations, monsters have infested the valley that was once lush and peaceful. Spirits have become violent, plants rise up to block your path, even the barren caves have become infested with vile things. Calvin's Gallery features turn based combat with a wide range of skills, items, and status effects. Instant skills add a unique depth to each fight, allowing both you and the enemy to act multiple times as long as you have the TP and MP. Agility determines your place in the turn order and many skills have a speed rating as well that affects when you are able to act.
