Shuffle Modifiers

Discovery-Sanity

Puts the landmarks in the item pool. Finding a landmark unlocks the ability to warp to it on the map. This drastically changes logic and movement around the world. This also creates way more ways to espace the starting area and access the North Side early. It is recommended on for AP as it makes BK pretty unlikely outside of very early game scenarios.

Dungeon Entrance Shuffle

Shuffles the entrances to dungeon maps. The entrance to one dungeon may lead to another. East Coast Cave is treated as the entrance for Pirate Ship Eleftheria with this setting on.

0
0

Boss Level Shuffle

Shuffles the levels of bosses. With this setting off, bosses are found at their intended level. Balanced: Boss levels are shuffled but distributed in a way to avoid extreme outliers and to keep early game bosses at relatively lower levels. Chaotic: Boss levels are completely shuffled with no restrictions. This can lead to extreme outliers and early game bosses being late game levels.

Pacing Modifiers

Experience Multiplier

Divides character's min and max Exp values allowing for quicker leveling. A multiplier of 8 provides well-balanced pacing for quick seeds. A couple things to remember. Ys 8 has a pretty aggressive fall off for experience if you outlevel enemies and Nightmare and Inferno cut experience gain in half. Level exp growth in Ys is also exponential. So it's a game that generally favors higher multipliers.
This is a range option.

Additional Intercept Rewards

Causes intercepts to give out up to four additional rewards after returning to Castaway Village post-intercept. These are meant to help with resource gathering, leveling, etc.

Battle Logic

Attempts to smooth combat pacing by guaranteeing the player always has access to some amount of strength for each boss. No battle logic is applied to non-forced encounters, with the small exceptions of Octus and Former Sanctuary Crypt having some battle logic applied to entering them. Highly recommended to be left on, especially for Inferno difficulty.

Progressive Super Items

Both the Mistilteinn and Spirit Ring are in the pool. Players find Broken Mistilteinn or Broken Spirit Ring instead. Speaking with Kathleen after maxing the forge will fix the broken weapon. If "Fun Items" are on then there are broken versions of Laxia, Sahad, Hummel, and Ricotta's accessories. These are turned into Euron at max forge instead of Kathleen, since he's the accessory guy.

Fun Items

Adds fun, powerful items to the item pool. The items are one new arm equipment anyone can equip, and four unique accessories that can only be equipped by Laxia, Sahad, Hummel, and Ricotta respectively. These are considered for combat logic, they are meant to be powerful and also give Laxia, Sahad, Hummel, and Ricotta items with parity to Mistilteinn and Spirit Ring.

Octus Paths Opened

All bridges in Octus start lowered. Bosses and mini-bosses are still present but do not need to be defeated to access everywhere in the dungeon. Mini-bosses remain an excellent EXP farm.

Extra Flame Stones

Adds Flame Stones to the item pool (0-10 additional stones). There are 7 Flame Stones by default, so 3 additional puts it at a round 10. Makes hitting max level more likely without being excessive.

Recipes Come With Ingredients

Grants the player essentially infinite ingredients necessary to cook a dish upon obtaining their respective Recipe Book. There's not currently havey logic around ingredient access so it's recommended to use this for things like Mishy. The pacing of the rando also generally works better without having to farm ingredients and things like the attack/defense recipes are used in battle logic as they're very powerful.

North Side Open
