What about production gear made from Phantasmal ingredients like Shiroe's Celestial Spirit Cloak? Another thing; what do the Japanese mean when they say 'no need to hold back'? I get the feeling that I'm missing some sort of cultural subtext. like with Cute; what does the word Cute mean to the Japanese? |

I may be completely of the mark here, but I think what puzzles me is that Japanese Guys use the word cute; not just the girls. I'm a citizen of two contrasting Countries and I've had to travel quite a bit but I'm yet to come across a straight Guy who uses the word cute. And even when girls use it it's in reference to a small child or animal but most often in reference to items of clothing & accessories; Never in reference to to a person that's a teen or older.

(Also, I have no idea what part in LH you're speaking about. I don't remember any guy calling anyone cute, except maybe Shiroe and Henrietta about Akatsuki.)

At the same time, what sort of conversion you have with straight guys to try to see if they use the word 'cute' ? I hope this isn't a stealth-bashing post of how only non-straight guys like cute things.

Second; as for my horizons I'm sure that I come into contact with more people than the average person given the nature of my work Third; I've done some reasearch on this since I asked the question and it looks like using cute is a no go area for guys in the west (my mother is British Born & Farther is South African I'm both) Last edited by Naole; 2014-01-26 at 06:23. |

I see, my apologies then.
But at the same time I don't know what to tell you, just like DQueenie "cute" has never been remotely near a taboo-ish word where I'm from, unless used excessively but that could be said for any word.

*shrug* From Malaysia. No taboos or anything for a guy to refer to something as cute.
...then again most of the time I've heard my dad (who's pushing 70) refer to anything as cute, it's been babies and puppies and dogs, so...

A question: Didn't someone mention that the expansion of Elder Tales raised the level cap? Wasn't this also the whole reason, why those "beginner bottles" were so popular? To reach higher levels than 90? But it was never mentioned until now (Episode 21) that anyone reached lvl 91 or higher. So... did it happen off-screen or something? Or are the requirements that high, that no one reached a higher level yet?
If the anime has the answer to this, which I merely overlooked, then it would be nice. If not I hope a novel reader can enlighten me. Thanks in advance!

And yeah, by book 6 (after the Libra Festival), there are already players who broke the level 90 cap -- Tetra, who shows up in book 7, is level 93 for example.

But that in the second season (which I hope will happen) there will be someone who breached the old level cap, is reassuring... though now I wonder if the level cap can be even more extended using World-Class magic...

for level 90 or any level, to receive experience. The gap of level must be only 5. Meaning a level 90 adventurer must farm on at least level 85 to even get a SMALL amount of experience. Grinding in ET isn't funny >_> with the rate of experience gain as one level ups become smaller and harder to get.

Actually, according to the side story, it's not really that hard:

Only a hundred hours to reach level 90? Wouldn't that mean that a substantial number of the adventurers must have achieved that rank? Watching the anime I thought perhaps ten percent at most might be at level 90 with a large number of players in the middle levels. Now I wonder if it isn't more like 40% at level 90 or more. Surely most people who play these sorts of games log at least a hundred hours, don't they?
