Princess Maker 3 routing
Nov. 8th, 2023 12:35 pmSo, after looking up how to get some of the endings (I only looked at a few) I feel like the most fun thing about this game will be the planning, so I'm gonna make some plans here.
I was going to make a table comparing the military endings so possibly I could get the requirements for one, save, rest til the end of the year, go back, get the rest of the required stats, and get the other ending... thinking they were kinda linear... but it looks like they're not exactly linear and you'll need to plan out routes for each one...??
At least without errantry and combat and stuff, this game is pretty short. I got an ending in about 2.5-3 hours last night.
So I guess I'll just go for the Knight ending while I'm still in my babby phase of planning for this game, as it's the second worst military ending and shouldn't be TOO hard to reach.
To get the Knight ending, we'll need the following stats:
A big trouble with getting both Stamina and Pride is that both jobs that raise Stamina (Housework and Farming) both also lower Pride. Housework also gives very little money, so it's definitely out. Farm lowers both Pride and Elegance, but we only need 300 of each of those, so it may be feasible to work at the farm a lot in the beginning to save up money, then use the money to go to classes to get the dropped stats back.
Farming up Stamina might also help in winning the Harvest Festival, which can bring in 3000G if we happen to win. It may be beneficial to just cram in all 500+ stamina right away so we can win the Harvest Festival and save up money, so we can spend the latter part of the game making up the missing Pride and Elegance with classes.
My biggest problem now is that I don't know how MUCH the classes/jobs raise each stat. Some stuff will raise it like more than 1 point a day, while some stuff will raise 1 point every several days, and with an entire half a month you might only see 1 or 2 growth in that stat.
My guess is, though, that our best option for class is Music class, which raises Pride, Elegance, and Sense. So we'll try to make up all the lost Pride and Elegance that way. If not, it might be better to go with Etiquette class, which raises Morality, Elegance, and Charm (hopefully more Elegance than Music?) and then spend the rest of the money on Martial Arts to continue raising Pride while boosting Stamina.
So I think for now my plan is to Farm as much as possible while going to Martial Arts class which I have the spare money to try to boost up Stamina as much as possible, hopefully winning the Harvest Festival when it comes around. Winning the festivals is pretty hard (they're just stat checks, but they're pretty brutal) so hopefully I can make it doing nothing but Farm and MA training, which should constantly be boosting Stamina. Then once Lisa is older, I can start working on Music class.
Also, the wiki doesn't say anything, and I'm too lazy to go find that Japanese notes site again, but my guess is you have to have done Martial Arts training at least 20+ times or so. So I'll need to keep track of that. I'll just go for 20 times to be safe.
So!! Here is the plan:
Until Farm becomes available, do Housework.
Farm and take Martial Arts class until Stamina is 500+ and have done MA 20 times.
Then just Farm (no more MA) until we've won a few Harvest Festivals and Lisa is older.
When Lisa is 16?, use savings to start working on Music class.
Rest when Stress > 40, though since we'll be doing a high-stamina build, later we can maybe wait til 50-65 Stress to rest.
Once we've hit the required stats, just keep working on whatever needs it the most so we don't fall below what we need.
Sounds like a plan! Time to go enact it. Let's do this !!
