Original General Dungeon Fighter Thread

I think I suck at playing this game because the quests that require me to get X amount of Style/Technique percentages doesn't even come close to the quota. Are those quests worth doing and if they are, do I have to do them ASAP?

First I'd like to say that I sucked hardcore at the beginning as well. I burned through so many tokens when I tried to play anyone besides a priest, and even then I had problems doing quests just like you are now. So don't sweat it, you will get the hang of it eventually, and so long as you're soloing, no one knows when you screw up trying out something new. XD

Kevin and DualReaver covered most of what you can try to do to earn better tech/style points, but they did leave out weapon selection and doubling your dungeon runs. Sometimes different weapons make it easier for you to earn style/tech points. It's probably not as noticable on a Priest, but on a gunner, the difference between a bowgun/autogun and revolver is pretty vast. It might not help much, but sometimes if you're just shy of making your goal by a few points, it can make a difference which weapon you have. Pretty sure axes and scythes are good for damage, and rosaries and croses are better for magical skills, but it's been a while since I've played my Priest chars. Anyway, the other option, if you're struggling to do both tech and style quests in one run, is to spend one run focusing on style, and the second one on tech points. Or vice-versa, it's up to you which one you'd rather do first. I had to do that for a long time til i started getting more familiar with each class. Some classes are easy to get style points on, some are easy to get tech points on. Personally I went tech first, then did style on the higher difficulty since it meant more hp and occasional misses which meant more juggling/combos than a normal run usually. I've gotten so I can usually clear both in one run, but some classes still require a double run for some of the dungeons.

Hope that helps a bit, and if you really need help, I still have some noob chars around that can help with doing low lvl quests. Though I don't promise anything amazing as far as skill goes given that I solo 99.99% of the time.
