Time attack times for Sengoku Basara 1/devil kings

There is an item that is an hourglass on 4-4 that turns the stage into a time attack and you have to beat the stage in that amount of time. If you do, you get 3 big boxes or chests. If you don't, it's game over. Without the item you have no timer at all and you're free to explore and kill them all. I'll post the times for each stage that it gives you in the beginning of the level that you have to complete it in.

Arctica Rebellion/Northern Rebellion (Itsuki's stage): 5:03

Assault on Bloomdale/Battle at Kasugayama Castle: 6:30

Chase at the Tablelands/Battle at Suriagehara: 3:30

Siege at Dark Spire/Siege at Odawara: 7:30

Ruse at Riverglen/Battle of Kawanakajima (vs shingen): 4:00

Deadwood counteroffensive/Battle at Nagashino: 2:50

Storm on the great plains/Battle of Mikatagahara: 5:00

Divide and conquer Faylinn/Battle of Anegawa: 3:30

Ambush at Shadow gorge/ Battle of Okehazama: 3:00

Fall of the high temple/ Honnoji incident (vs. Nobunaga): 6:30

Crossing the River Styx/ Battle of Yamazaki: 2:45

Flooding Gulthas Nam/Conquering Takamatsu castle: 4:30

Landing at Nanvia/Shikoku suppression: 5:00

Pilgrimage to cathedral city/ Zabii(Xavi or Zabi, however you want to call it) castle: 7:30

Leveling Kush/Battle at Mimikawa: 6:00

Battle of Riverglen/Battle at Kawanakajima (vs. Kenshin): 4:00

Twisted High temple/ Honnoji incident (vs.Mitsuhide): 3:15

Now the question is: Do you guys think you can beat all of these stages in the time given? I believe in all of you but some stages will be a struggle even if you rush through. Be glad that this time attack is just an item that you can take on and off and not an actual mechanic for the game. You can explore the area as long as you want to get treasure. Go for these if you want a speedrun. Difficulty doesn't affect the time limit in anyway.

Samurai Warriors XL bonus points and what each item costs.

They are used for unlocking extra stuff or benefits that can help you in the game to unlock any missing stuff.

To change save icon of your ps2 save pay 500 points per change.

Voice Test for each character costs 1,000 points each character

Alternate character models (the ones you normally have unlocked in the original game by completing story modes) is 2,000 points each

Enemy character model that when you change to your characters alt means they'll have their alt worn in battle is 10,000 to turn it on and then 100 point per off or on setting after

5th weapon lower the difficulty of the weapon acquire from hard to normal (you can get it higher still) is 20,000 points

Ultimate weapon or 6th weapon lower the difficulty of the weapon acquire from chaos to hard (you can still go for chaos if you want) is 100,000 points

Character level can progress past normal level limits (instead of max of character it can go max for the game itself) it's 1,000,000 points...

You can earn points by doing battles, clearing stories, getting all the endings of a character, getting 5th weapon, getting 6th weapon, getting rare items, completing a challenge and surviving it. Higher difficulty would be helpful because more points. It's going to take a while to get everything you need.

How to farm for strong weapons and items fast and easy (sengoku basara 1 and Devil Kings)

If my experience has been correct, there's more chance of getting weapons than items. If that's the case, then you are needing to grind for not only stronger items but for stronger weapons since your characters are getting stronger from story mode. If you have extreme difficulty unlocked (that's unlocked by completing anyone's story on hard difficulty), choose that because it will give you high 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th (joke) weapons as well as high quality items. Choose border patrol, which is next to Itsuki's stage in the top. It's the easiest stage to get weapons and items. It lasts only 3 or so minutes.

Before anyone comments on the picture, i made a quick 1 min sketch of the battlefield for border patrol so it's kinda bad, then again I'm not known for my drawing skills. Two small not colored rectangles at the bottom show your gates, they need to be protected. If they fall, you lose the battle, even if you haven't died yet. The four shaded in rectangles are the enemy gates, these are were the enemy are going to pour out from and try to destroy your gates. The x's on the picture are the boxes locations. There's two to pick up on the battlefield and four to collect from generals (later). The lines I drew are the change in elevation going upwards. Collect those boxes when you can leave quickly to get them. At about 40-50 seconds left in battle the final wave of enemies will come up. This final wave will give you the 4 boxes so get them all before the stage is complete. At the end you should get 6 boxes without any item equipped to make more items appear in results screen. Repeat if necessary.

(Note:This can work in devil kings just the quality of rewards are different)

Update on me and Dynasty Warriors 3 how to grind for items

If you guys didn't know from the news or online, Michigan called off school for the rest of the year. Don't know when they are going back. Seniors are graduating this year (I'm a senior so I graduated). I don't know if they will have a graduation ceremony or they will just mail our diplomas and yearbooks and gowns. Anyways, I hope you all are okay and in normal health.

In Dynasty Warriors 3, items can be found in either boxes or officers. To get the most and best items to survive hard difficulty alot easier, you need to set difficulty on hard and go to You Ting (also known Shi Ting for modern players) and pick any character with the death element (the one that can instantly kill soldiers and halve the enemy officers) like Lu Xun, Cao Cao, Xiao Qiao, etc. Also you need to pick Wu side. You can look at the website to find out which items are in boxes on the map. Red outline around green square is items only available if you play on Wu side. Highly suggest you make sure that you are decently skilled with the character and don't die during the stage. You won't be able to keep any items you collect if you die.

DW4 Fire arrows unlock

This item still has the purpose of turning regular arrows on fire. Arrows strength has decreased from DW3 for enemy and bow attack for you. This item can't increase bow attack but can put in some more damage. Unification of Jing Wu Forces defeat Zhou Xin before announcing all out attack. This all out attack happens around 5 min i found but don't take chances Zhou Xin is around Wang Long as he is Wang Long's sub general and they are at the bottom of the map. The supply team is at the front of the castle on the other side of the map and will go across the bridge. Get Red Hare for this chase.

Dynasty Warriors 5 Demon Band

This item is probably one of the last items you are still trying to get because this is unlocked at the Yellow Turban side in Battle of Xiliang. Which you would need Zhang Jiao unlocked by completing Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei's story modes. To get the item, you have to wait for Ma Chao to arrive on the battlefield and when he arrives kill him in 3 min. You will recieve an item report if you do it correctly. Don't go too fast on the stage if he hasn't showed up yet. This item increases Musou rage time. If you like having longer musou rage, great.

Samurai Warriors War drum

This item can be easily missed because you don't think about how you unlock it. It improves allies morale (i don't think it helps all that much to be honest because you are the main cause of morale going up). In Okuni's route 4th stage nearby Kenshin's camp there is a war drum you beat it with your weapon 50 times and the supply team will appear nearby and head north. Defeat them to grab the item and finish the stage.

DW5 Storm Harness unlock

This is supposed to be one of Cao Cao's beloved horses other than Shadow Runner. This horse gives you 50% more points than the amount you get on the battle you choose, making your rank go up a lot faster to get costumes. In Guandu, Cao Cao's side, defeat Wen Chou and Yan Liang within 5 mins. of battle. Recommended you go to Yan Liang first on Red Hare because while Guan Yu won't kill him instantly he won't last long unless you're there for the kill then go to Wen Chou after you successfully defeat Yan Liang. If you do all this in 5 minutes valuable item message will pop up and will show it is near Yuan Shao's camp where you come in east. Finish the battle if you want or kill off enemy officers around the battlefield.
