I mistakenly believed Dragon Quest 3 had no outstanding issues and referenced this on the review, but it seems that's not the case, so I'm rectifying the review for this one.
This hack offers six different options for adjusting the pace of spell grinding:
~149%, or about 1.5x as much grinding (~270 casts per elemental). (Has serious side effects, see below!)
~77%, or about 3/4 as much grinding (~141 casts per elemental).
~64%, or about 2/3 as much grinding (~117 casts per elemental).
~55%, or a bit more than half as much grinding (~100 casts per elemental).
~48%, or a bit less than half as much grinding (~87 casts per elemental).
~32%, or about 1/3 as much grinding (~58 casts per elemental).
Important things to note:
The original game is roughly 181 casts per elemental.
All figures listed here are for combat zones. When in a non-combat zone, grinding takes twice as many casts.
The 149% hack has a couple side effects: 1. You cannot gain spell levels past level 7 in non-combat zones and 2. You cannot ever attain the 8:99 special spells under any circumstances.
