I've played for around 20 hours or so at this point. It repetitive....very repetitive. However if you're like me and you like repetitive gaming then way of the samurai will make you happy. \*\*\*SPOILERS\*\*\* The game allows you to level up swords, your character (only in the tree world), and your blacksmithing relationship with the blacksmith. You literally start from level 1 regardless of what level you exited the tree world the night before. Honestly its kind of annoying until you get used to it. Also ganking (pvp) exists in the game. Once in the tree world you will see that another player is on the same level you're on in online mode. You can choose to defeat the level together but most of the time they just try to kill you and they can take your stuff. Around B20 mobs get way harder and i suggest a sword of at least 80 sharpness and quality 4 or else it gets ugly. The whole premise of the game is to make more money so that you pay the ransom sums of a warlord. With that said money is hard to come by....especially in the quantity you will need it in the 4th exchange (27k). So expect to grind that out for all the days you get (7 days) to make the money. Oh yea the max sum you can carry is 999....but you can get accessories that enhance that to what I've seen as 3000. None the less that's a lot of runs. The skills you learn with each sword are not really worth leveling them to level 50 but if you achieve chase then you need to do it. You are probably solid with the skills of each sword at level 25 of the sword level. Overall i like it and I'll play it until I'm tired of it.
