So... I was working on a walkthough for Desicration of Wings, but I'm likely to be very busy for the next month: I'm not likely to work on it any time soon. Instead, here are some tips for anyone who hasn't played the game:

Here are a few general tips for anyone starting a new game on Desecration of Wings:

1) Shift key to run. Saves time, and makes dodging enemies easier.

Save money by not buying items. Money is harder to acquire in this game compared to other RPGs, since only humanoid enemies will drop cash, and, given that you'll want to spend your hard earned Sols on equipment to learn skills, you’ll need as much of that money as you can get.

Additionally, you shouldn’t have too much trouble staying healthy. You’ll run into a fair amount of items as you go along, Felana’s Nurse ability is incredibly efficient at healing outside of battle, and, at several points in the game, you’ll have access to a free place to rest, a cheap inn, a bucket of healing water, or a friendly NPC that will recover you to full.

2) You can access non-passive skill in the Skills menu outside of battle, even if those skills are not equipped in the Set Skills menu. This is particularly relevant for Felana’s Nurse and Stabilize skills which are only useable outside of battle, so go ahead and remove those skills in the Set Skills menu to make room for other abilities or passive skills.

3) Hold on to your old equipment: you’ll want future party members to be able to learn those skills, and its best if everyone has something equipped that will make use of the TP you earn in battle. There are a total of 5 party members you’ll get in the game. Once you get the fifth one, you can start selling old equipment.

4) Once you escape the City of Kolis, you can never go back. The city of Kolis is one of only a few locations that stay inaccessible once you leave for good (the others are a few dungeons, or event locations). Everywhere else, you can revisit once you get the airship. So make sure you’ve done everything you can in the city before you quit the place.

5) Be on the lookout for the shinies! Little shiny sprites on the screen usually indicate the presence of a contorted stone. You’ll want to collect as much of them as possible! That being said, there’s no need to hoard them: as soon as you are able to start using them up.

6) Once you get the airship, the best place to farm gold is the Forest maze dungeon in the South West part of the continent. The best place to farm XP and TP is the Circular Island in the North West Corner of the map.
