What is your favorite class from Elder Tale? Mine would be Shrine Priests. Defensive Magic plus Healing sound like the most useful of the healing classes to me honestly. Plus I like barriers :3 What class do you like the most and why? What skills of that class would you use most often?

TFW the same person runs Log Horizon Fun Facts, Databased, and Log Horizon Headcanons

I don’t have a particular favorite class. Of course, I’d probably want to try all of them out XD

But in terms of design, I like Bards the most, because musical support units. Best girls Henrietta, Pianississimo, and Takayama Misa are in that class. Clearly, it can do no wrong.

And as for skills, I probably like Rainbow Arabesque (pretty colors, plus elemental damage sounds fun) and Dirge of the Trapped Lion (can’t go wrong with a skill nicknamed “The Voice of Death”).

It's Aliiiiiiive!

So, if (and this is based entirely off of sources I’m not sure I can trust) Alchemists can now create Homonculuses from reading a dusty tome and learning the skill.

Headcanon: Taking that one step further, doctors and necromancers can create flesh golems (Frankenstein monsters) by reading a special book and gathering the instruments and components (mostly drop items from undead monsters) nessisary and channeling electricity to the body.

Such a creature has already been made in the North American server (affectionately called Shelley) and while unable to talk beyond growls, shows signs of intelligence.

LHFF comments: Those “sources I’m not sure I can trust” is referring to the Overskills/New Magic+Abilities doc, right? I translated that, so I wouldn’t trust it either tbh. (Also, I’m tagging this as an Overskill, under the umbrella definition that Overskills are something that couldn’t be done in the game world.)

Blind Friendly

So after reading an article on blind players in WoW. I had a headcanon that Elder Tale added Blind/Near-Blind Friendly gameplay options, (changing colors to be easier discernible for color blind, sound notifications for attacks, cool downs, etc, font size options and the like) in the large-scale revision patch of the expansion Gift of Flame in 2010, after being pressured by the blind community.

As such there is a sizable number of blind gamers in Elder Tale, and those who were caught up in the apocalypse can now see without problems.

LHFF comment: Huh. So there are blind people who play MMOs... I wonder if, post-Catastrophe, they would prefer to be blind or have vision, since they were suddenly thrown into a world where they have (almost) perfect vision. (I say almost since it’s unclear whether glasses are completely cosmetic or not.)

[loghorizonheadcanons]

I have a question. So far we've seen characters sweat and cry, but do you know if the Adventurers are able to produce other body fluids? Like, do they feel the need to use the bathroom like they would in the real world, do female players still have menstrual cycles?

1. Yes, confirmed in volume 1 (Akatsuki cites that as one of the reasons she wanted to change back to a girl)2. Unknown, likely would depend on whether Adventurers can get pregnant, which is still unknown/unrevealed.

So I would assume that the answer is yes. Oh, and saliva likely exists, since it’s part of the digestive system/process. So yes.

This isnt really a headcanon. But am i the only one who noticed exorcist is both a class and a sub class?

So is Pirate. Exorcist is only a class on the Western European server, so I wouldn’t be surprised if servers have other servers’ unique classes as subclasses (except, obviously, not nearly with the same capabilities as the class).

Major Colonel, Hidden Badass

Major Colonel is a Lander on the island of Formosa (the tutorial area for new characters). He has the appearance of the Insurance General, and his demeanor when he’s riled up is like Drill Instructor Hartman from Full Metal Jacket.

After the Catastrophe, he is singlehandedly protecting the island from the Raid Bosses surrounding it. No newbie will die on his watch!

LHFF comments: Formosa being the tutorial area for all players was a misconception (that, uh, I spread. Whoops). The Japanese tutorial area is somewhere on the Yamato archipelago, perhaps around Akiba, which is where Major Colonel is. Although maybe Major Colonel is like the Nurse Joy of Elder Tale, he’s everywhere!

Also to note is that there are high-level players on Formosa, who fought their way over there for shits and giggles, I guess (they were fighting the Raid Bosses). The Taiwanese fandom actually got together to form their own unofficial Formosa side-story/lore, which is where the above information about the high-level players comes from.

animeengineer replied to your post “A Guild House as a Prison”

Also, did the Guards actually throw players in prisons, or did they simply kill them on the spot, forcing them to resurrect at the cathedral and lose XP and gear?

LHFF here. Guards don’t kill Adventurers unless the Adventurer attacks the Guards themselves. Otherwise, they get thrown into a prison at an unknown location until they’re freed. LN1 states this (in Hara’s manga, the guy that gets killed by a Guard attacked the Guard first); WWB just added the killing part for rule of drama. That, or Isami (and Soujiro) had no idea how the Guard system actually worked.

As for the other reply, a guild like Plant Hwyaden could easily create a guild house prison, since they did force players to join; that’s how they took over both Minami and Nakasu. If you capture the important city structures, especially either the Guild Hall or the Cathedral, you could easily say “you have to join my guild or else.”

Because of the limit on the number of obtainable summons there are, several small groups of hard core players have made it their goal to make enough summoner characters to collect them all one way or the other. (The Calamity really threw a wrench in their work, though, since keeping track of who has what often needs to be written out on paper).

LHFF comments: Also, if we’re just talking about Summoner characters, some people might have several alts and are now locked out of them.
