Sign length

I’ve noticed something recently that bothers me quite a bit. Why is it that on Explorers Shores islands that Builders Best areas have signs that drastically outdo what you can write on signs you place yourself? Like I found one that had “The Last Holyhock in the World” and if I were to place a sign I don’t even think I could fit “the last holyhock” without it cutting off. Is there a way to increase the limit that I’m not aware of?

DQB1 All Chapters Full Maps

Made this images using the raw save files and a custom script. Not 100% accurate! Liquid and items aren't reflected here.

Those weird squares are the cutscene areas.

My bridging....

No lava.

The grass paths....

Terra Incognita is really fun! What does this shape remind you of?

I also put them all together, didn't resize or move individual islands though. If anyone wants to try to make a more accurate map I invite them to!

Transferring Saves?

For a long time I've been playing DQB2 on a cr*cked copy cuz of unfortunate reasons, but recently I finally got around to buying it officially from Steam. I ran into a big problem however, as I tried transferring my saves but the official Steam game just wouldn't recognize them. I tried looking it up, apparently people were able to transfer saves between different platforms like Switch and PC or between saves from different updates, so I'm pretty puzzled as to why it's not recognising my original save. Would really appreciate if anyone can help me on this as I don't really want to restart a new playthrough!

DQ Builder 2 xbox

Hello! I would like to know if it is worth buying the Xbox X/S version of this game. For some reason I have seen that the Nintendo Switch version has DLC but I can't find them in the Xbox version.

Question

How can I get the blacksmith and the miners in general to make swords because they have never made swords? What I started with is the forge where the minerals are melted or is it the forging of the anvil?

How does the weapons store work? I have questions such as what happens to the weapons sold, are they equipped to the residents or are they not equipped, and what happens to the weapons that the residents have before purchasing the weapon in question?

DQB2 Shared Toilet

It’s been a while since I played and am doing a fresh save. I have the capability of making proper toilets and such but in the shared toilet room the npcs refuse to use any but the first three toilets even though there are multiple others. The room is large enough and they are separated enough to stop the nonsense pathing problems some npcs have but they still Refuse and just form lines that aren’t needed. Is there a proper way to fix that? Or a bigger bathroom in general that will make them use more than three?

Question serius

Question: Potato crops from chapter 3 are infinite because crops normally have a limited yield because they disappear. The question is the mini potato crop in chapter 3 is infinite.

DQB1 mobile

Has anyone played this on mobile, in love it tbh but the moving is a bit of a mare tbh. Now if they’d put a dlc with all the goodies ( from the mobile) into dqb1 switch ( or the rest) I’d pay for that. Still obsessed with them both.

Talaria in Nintendo Switch version

I've been playing DQB1 on Nintendo Switch and haven't found the double jump boots. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's in the Nintendo Switch version.

Supposedly it's in a cave in chapter one around Hammerhood Heights (blue portal), but I haven't looked hard enough or I'm missing something.

Are there major differences between the Nintendo Switch version and other versions?

Does Talaria exist on the Nintendo Switch version of DQB1?

UPDATE: I found it!

Thank you for all the tips!

It was in a cave quite a distance away from the "castle" but it took forever to find. In fact, I had started the chapter over just to make sure I hadn't destroyed the cave.

Thanks again!

Possibly got a quest too early??? (Ch2)

So, immediately after giving Elle the healing cream, the next quest she gave me was to build an infirmary. I made everything for it, except the washer, which needs wood. How the hell do I get wood??? Supposedly, the first portal has palm trees, but I don’t have access to it yet. Is my game bugged? Am I hardlocked?

Is there a way to min-maxing Gratitute?

Is there some sort of design that's the most efficient in generating gratitute? So far I've been trying to generally ensure my IoA residents have gratitute generating activities to do like farming, cooking, eating, bathing, swimming, merchant selling, entertainment activities etc. but I still feel it's a bit slow for me. I also tried recruiting 60 liquid metal slimes, but I felt it's a hassle that I can't afk and must manually chase them everyday.

It's been 5 years since this game is out already, has anyone figured how to absolutely min-max gratitute?

Salmón help

Where can I farm the normal salmon, not the king, massively with the fishing rod? I know you can get salmon with juvenile sabertooths but I don't want them to tame them every now and then.

Dragón quest builder 2 help

Fishing by NPC depends on the area, for example, salmon appears in chapter 1 and 3, I need to know which NPCs will fish for fish that do not appear on the island of awakening or is it per island?

20 days to complete all chapter 3 challenges with 0 deaths

this was the chapter i remember having the most fun on like 8 years ago, i didn’t enjoy it so much this time around as i just tried to play decently fast. speedrun wise, this could all be done in 15~ days relatively easily. pretty happy getting 20 days for this, faster then both my cantlin run (which i have to redo because it took me 26 days sadly) and my rimuldar one which took me 25.

Rimuldar Gold 0 Deaths on PsVita

pretty proud of this considering i only played this once about 8 years ago and didn’t do any of the challenges, so i didn’t remember the locations of things. I used a guide to complete the puzzles and crown goowels.

Help me find an old DQB2 image/meme?

Hi all, I hope it's okay to ask this but I'm well and truly at the end of my rope. Recently, my PC broke and I lost a lot of my files that weren't backed up, including my memes.

There was a pretty popular meme going around... I think Twitter? But it may have gotten around, where the general gist was a screenshot of Malroth in game in the floatie ring, just kind of smiling up at the camera? The caption was something like "Have you seen him? Now you have."

I don't need the whole meme, but if anyone at all happens to have that beautiful screenshot... I miss that meme already.

Thank you!!!
