First off, excellent mod. I had a blast playing through the original. Deadbeard actually took a couple of attempts! GSTLA is great too. I'm in the end game, and I'm working on min/maxing all my characters. I've come across a couple of things that I either need help with, or can't quite explain.
I can't get some of the reworked monster drops to work the same way as usual. For example, using the RN method to get an Aeshma to die at RN 31, with the correct Djinn, does not net me Lachesis' Rule. There's a few such drops I can't seem to get using the RN method.
Mad Demon (Lv 40) -> Ker's Weight 1/256
Aeshma (Lv 40) -> Lachesis' Rule 1/256
Pyrodra (Lv 36) -> Triton Ward 1/128
Aka Manah (Lv 35) -> Ninja Sandals 1/128
Hell Chimera (Lv 33) -> Knight's Greaves 1/128
There may be some others, but I haven't tested absolutely all of them. The interesting thing is, I must have hit the 1/128 for the Ninja Sandals incidentally, because I do have one pair of them, but I cannot force more. For the Aka Manah specifically, felling it on RN 31 does not make it flash. I've tried altering the RN at which the Aka Manah dies, similar to what is needed for Wonder Birds (-2 RN from the total prior to monster felling), and then I can make it flash, but again, no drop. Any info as to what is going on behind the scenes here would be very appreciated.
Secondly, I was really excited to see in your title post that there was a TXT file with every possible perfect class combination in GSTLA. I've been looking for such a thing for years! I imported it into Excel, so I could sort the data, and quantify (stats wise) the ideal team compositions. Unfortunately, theres a few combinations that I've come across that don't work, and I've only been through a tiny fraction of that whole enormous list. For instance:
Isaac: Slayer
Garet: Phalanx
Ivan: Sorcerer
Mia: Angel
Felix: Paladin
Jenna: Heretic
Sheba: Fury
Piers: Holy Knight
This is the second set of classes including tri-elementals. Heretic Jenna requires 5
and 4 
. Holy Knight Piers also requires 5 and 4 . As a result, the above team comp uses 17 , 18 
, 19 , and 18 
.
How did you come up with such an exhaustive list? Can it be tweaked to ensure each team comp does not go over or under a total of 18 Djinn for each element? If I had any coding capability, I'd try and write a program to sift through each permutation. I looked into doing it manually initially. If I ignore the 18 Djinn per element cap, given 9 possible Djinn combinations per character that result in valid classes, and 8 characters, thats 43 046 721 combinations. Paring down from those possibilities to only those that meet the 18 Djinn limit was my initial plan, but 43 million combinations is so far beyond what is possible to do by hand.
Anyone here able to write a program that can produce all the valid class combinations? If I had that data set, I'd love to work with it to see what kind of class comps would be the most fun/powerful.
Again, excellent mod.
