    G`day everyone...long time no see!i`ve been looking through some old posts and i noticed it was clear that every time Saintly and Notorious reps were discussed it was always suggested that you get Saintly first,and it is my strongly held conviction that this strategy is fatally flawed.Perhaps you would like to try it this way instead....accummulate enough skillpoints to acquire Dark magic expert,Water magic expert and Air magic expert.This should take your Rep to no better than Honourable.Then its simply a matter of doing the business with Armageddon in Bootleg Bay and then journeying to Paradise Valley...Bingo!Dark Magic Master!Back to New Sorpigal Temple where you donate a few hundred gold to become respectable once more,and you`ve still got heaps of quests available for the Saintly rep.You heard it here first LOL

I disagree.

    In practical terms, is your party good enough to dispose of the Titans at that stage of development without getting itself creamed?

    Besides, I get most satisfaction by winning the game without injuring any of the NPCs. I have a personal dislike of using Armageddon on an area containing NPCs which have not attacked any of my party. But that is my personal preference.

    However, IMO the key argument against your suggestion is that you can at any stage of the game gain a notorious reputation by selling the bones from Bootleg Bay (it respawns fairly quickly), and getting your party healed by the Curator in Castle Kriegspire. In contrast, once the quests that raise your reputation are done, there is no legitimate way of gaining a saintly rep. None. No way - end - finito.

    There are enough "good" quests to enable your party to do things in the way you suggest, but I submit that it is not at all the preferred way of doing things. Your way would be even less preferred if the game did not contain the option of donating at a "good" temple to get your rep back to honourable relatively painlessly.

    you`ve completely missed the point i was trying to make...my bad.By the way,who said anything about mixing it up with the Titans? Fly in, LB out is the way i do it,and as far as the ill-fated NPCs of Bootleg Bay are concerned i was just trying to show people the quickest method,but you can be forgiven for surmising that that is the method i would use ... i do the bones thing too,plus hiring a Duper/Burglar combo etc.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

    But I certainly agree with you that it's the quickest way to get mastery in Dark. If you can successfully dodge the Titans' ranged attacks on the way in, they don't interrupt you while you're talking with the Darkmaster trainer.

    Doing that would certainly be an advantage in enabling you to deal more easily with the second half of the Lair of the Wolf. I find the better that Shrapmetal works, the easier it is to clear the final halls where your party finds the Pearl of Putrescence.

    Fair enough Peter.I was just stressing about getting Saintly and then undoing all my good work by getting Notorious and then trying to improve my rep all over again,so i tried something different,and liked the result so much i just thought i`d share it with everyone.Anyway, cheers mate.

once you get saintly and the master, no need to worry about a good rep

    You then do the dark and start working on quest. Your rep will get better quick, but as long as you do not need to go to a castle it will not matter.

    I do it like VII, you only get to be one other the other. So I am with Peter.

Possibly with one proviso

    I don't know if MM6 plays it this way, but I collected a notorious rep for my party once in MM7, and a stagecoach journey cost me a small fortune. After that, I made sure that my party's rep stayed at least around average.

In VI I usually have 1 or 2 quest ready to complete.

    This helps me get my rep repaired quickly. I cannot recall any cost in VII related to rep, only interactions. Not played dark in VII in some time. Dark magic OP.

Agreed about Dark.

    It's well overpowered. I played a Dark party once so I could do the quests specific to the dark side, but I never finished it. It was too easy and I got bored. Besides, playing Dark, you miss out on that glorious battle to clear The Pit. The battle to clear Celeste is a very anaemic set-to in comparison.

I, generally, stay out of Dark and Light because of high mana cost
