Book Reserve
The best part about Novel Kingdom is their fabulous research department. They've constructed a Tote of Infinite Books and handed them out to all the new recruits. This allows you to store up any books you've read until you're ready to use them. Just keep them listed at the bottom of your adventure log until they're applied to a task.
Weapons
You have two weapons to battle with. A sword and a magic staff.
These weapons may be leveled up to increase their damage. This process mimics pyramid reading challenges.
Choose which of these weapons - either Magic Staff or Sword - is going to be your weapon of choice and focus on upgrading it consistently throughout the game. Don't stress about neglecting your other weapon. There is only a very limited number of monsters (and all of them are rare) you'll need to attack with your weaker weapon.
Magic Staff
Gain levels for your magic staff by creating taller pyramids of series reads (books don't have to be from the same series, even within a level)
LVL 1: Read 1 book that's #1 in the series.
LVL 2: Add a #1 and #2 in a series.
LVL 3: Add a #1, #2 and #3 in a series.
Sword
Gain levels by reading taller pyramids of page numbers. A book that's 350 pages may count for a 300+ book, a 200+ book or a 100+ book.
LVL 1: Read 1 book that's 100+ pages.
LVL 2: Read an additional 1 book that's 100+ pages and 1 book that's 200+ pages.
LVL 3: Read 1 book that's 100+ pages , 1 book that's 200+ pages and 1 book that's 300+ pages.
Attack Power of Magic Staff / Sword = Level of the Weapon + 2 (a universal bonus)
You start your adventure with LVL 0 Weapons -> their Attack Power is 0 + 2 = 2 AP
After you upgrade the weapon to LVL 1 -> Attack power = 1 + 2 = 3 AP
Note: For purposes of advanced monsters the + 2 bonus to the level of your weapon should be considered a modifier and not part of the base attack. However, if something states that it is based off the attack as a whole then the level and all modifiers are considered.
To further upgrade your main weapons you can obtain the Growth Weapon Enhancement Bauble by completing Practice Makes Perfect Quest. The Bauble increases damage each turn in battle by 1 for a single weapon. (First Turn +1, Second Turn +2, Third Turn +3). When calculating values based on attack power of weapon, each round must be re-evaluated.
Additional weapons
There are additional weapons you can obtain by completing certain quests. They are used alongside your main weapon:
Spock's lost Plasma weapon (one time use)
Magical Arrow (one time use)
Slingshot (requires a stock of nuts to work) - only this one is really useful and re-usable
Spells
Alternative to attacking with your weapons is casting spells. It's not cost-effective (because it consumes resources every time you cast them) and frankly, you won't need to bother about spells till much later on in the game.
Spell It Out Rules
� the first letter in the book's title
� the first letter in the series
� the first letter in the author's first or last name
� the first letter of a character's first, last, or nick-name
As always, if the first letter of a title starts with an indefinite or definite article ('A', 'An', 'The', etc.), you may use the first letter of the second word in the title to spell out your chosen word.
