Back from the weekend at my parents without internet. I have made a lot of progress for rebuilding the Norende village though, as I got some villagers already in the demo per StreetPass, that were taken over to the full game.

The white mage was a problem, but I got her with going full into Brave AND fully using the Bravely Second. Brave, Default, Bravely Second and the Specialties are all pretty cool RPG-mechanics, this game is really a great old-school RPG. Thanks a lot Square. I'm even more happy I bought the ridicously big Special edition, hopefully SE gets the message we want more of such games.

In the story I'm through with the main stuff in the second city and now are send to a wood somewhere else. So probably not far, from the artbook I get the feeling the game has five or six main places, and I'm only at the second. I love the merchant-class though (do make this side-quest!) it's pretty different from usual fantasy-RPG-classes, but it also powerful enough to make sense.

A question though: There was another paper that points me to another place. But I wasn't able to find it. Is this in the city? How can I get there?

That second paper points out to the entrance guarded by a soldier near the magic shop. It'll open up once you restore the Wind Crystal and only at night. Beware, the boss fight in that place (Time Mage and Sword Fencer) is easily the toughest in all chapter 1, so be prepared.

I love the Merchant class myself, using it for Agnes at the moment (until she hits lvl. 9, then i'm switching her to Summoner), it really opens a heap more strategies, especially once you unlock BP drink. Got to see if More Money stacks with more characters using the Job/Support ability, found a good place to farm PG on the second chapter (Gardens west of Florem, you'll find a lot of 4x Alraune fights, with a Merchant and a Sweeper bonus, you'll get 700 pg per fight).
