~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ================================================== Secret of Mana Faster or Slower Spell Grinding 1.1 by Kethinov Mar 2019 ================================================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This hack offers six different options for adjusting the pace of spell grinding: - ~149%, or about 1.5x as much grinding (~270 casts per elemental). (Has serious side effects, see below!) - ~77%, or about 3/4 as much grinding (~141 casts per elemental). - ~64%, or about 2/3 as much grinding (~117 casts per elemental). - ~55%, or a bit more than half as much grinding (~100 casts per elemental). - ~48%, or a bit less than half as much grinding (~87 casts per elemental). - ~32%, or about 1/3 as much grinding (~58 casts per elemental). - ~29%, or a bit less than 1/3 as much grinding (~53 casts per elemental). - ~25%, or about 1/4 as much grinding (~46 casts per elemental). - ~22%, or a bit less than 1/4 as much grinding (~40 casts per elemental). - ~19%, or a bit less than 1/5 as much grinding (~35 casts per elemental). - ~17%, or a bit more than 1/6 as much grinding (~32 casts per elemental). - ~8%, or a bit less than 1/10 as much grinding (~16 casts per elemental). Important things to note: - The original game is roughly 181 casts per elemental. - All figures listed here are for combat zones. When in a non-combat zone, grinding takes twice as many casts. - The 149% hack has a couple side effects: 1. You cannot gain spell levels past level 7 in non-combat zones and 2. You cannot ever attain the 8:99 special spells under any circumstances. - Apply this to an unheadered ROM. Changelog: - 1.1: Added 6 new faster tiers. - 1.0: Initial version.
