This page contains transcripts of the BBS threads encountered in [[Infection]]


The [[BBS]], or Bulletin Board System is a forum accessed by opening [[The World]] application from the desktop. Before logging into the game, players can check threads for news, events, or rumors. By reading BBS posts, it is possible to unlock new keywords for the [[Chaos Gate]]. As players progress through the game, new thread posts will appear over time.<br/>

[[File:Infection_BBS_post_keywordthread.png|300px|right|alt="Infection BBS posts in a thread about keyword creation. Most posts in the thread have been read, there is one unread post at the bottom marked with 'NEW!' next to the title.

{{Tree list}}
Each post has a Thread title, post title, username, and timestamp. Each timestamp is randomly assigned from 6 possible dates/times. In 2002 most people playing the game would have done so on a CRT screen, which makes it difficult to read the dates. Playing using an emulator on modern hardware makes it possible to read the dates. <br />
* '''[[System_Explanation_(R:1_BBS)|System Explanation]]'''
The timestamps were most likely not intended to be read by players and do not bear significance to the plot or gameplay. These timestamps do not correspond with any known development milestones. The Games Tetralogy takes place in an alternate history set in the "future" of 2010, meaning these timestamps also do not match up with the timeline of canon events. Some posts are made chronologically out of order, with response posts predating the original post they were responding to. Despite this, the dates have been included with their respective posts below for posterity. <br />

I got some keywords during play and tried <br />them, but they don't seem to work. <br />
 
I think the parameters on the Chaos Gate <br />menu are way too strong... <br />
 
Can someone teach me a good way to combine <br />words? <br />
 
Thank you! <br />

<blockquote>
You really shouldn't worry about the area's <br />parameters in the beginning. <br />
 
Beginners should only be concerned with the <br />level of the area. <br />
 
This is the parameter that sets the <br />difficulty of that level, and the higher it <br />is, the more powerful the monsters are <br />(and the better the items). <br />
 
If you combine words randomly, you might get <br />a really strong enemy and die instantly. <br />
 
When your level is low, you should use words <br />with low difficulty. <br />
 
Here's a sample word for beginners: <br />
Part A: <span style="color:Blue">Bursting</span> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <span style="color:orange">Difficulty: 1</span> <br />Use this and create a key word. <br />

I used the word <span style="color:Blue">Bursting</span> in part A like <br />Korm said, but the enemies were too <br />strong and it was game over for me!!!! <br />
 
Why?? <br />

'''RE: 'They're too strong!!!''' <small>(2001/09/20/05:03:49)</small> <br />
Author: Korm <br />
<blockquote>
There was probably a word aside from <br /><span style="color:Blue">Bursting</span> that set the area level. <br />
 
Were there more than 2 jewels in the <br />area levels in the parameter list? <br />
 
In cases like that, the word with <br />the higher priority takes precendence. <br />(One in red has higher priority). <br />
 
So maybe a word aside from Bursing <br />was used to set the area level... <br />
 
Sorry, I didn't tell you before... <br />

Thank you, Korm! <br />
 
I see, so more than one word can set <br />a particular parameter. <br />
 
But there are parameters that you can't <br />set with any of the words... <br />
 
What about those? <br />

I found this item called Root Vegetable in <br />
the field. It was jumping up and down... <br />
I thought it was amonster at first, but <br />
when I looked at the Key Item list, it <br />
said, "Food for Grunty." <br />
 
So what is this Grunty? Something alive? <br />
 
Can someone please tell me? <br />

Heh, heh. <br />
I didn't know at first too. <br />
 
Crest, you're probably in Δ server, right? <br />
Well, there aren't any Grunties in that one. <br />
 
Grunties are living in θ server's ranch, <br />
and kinda look like a mix between a pig and <br />
a cow or something like that... <br />
 
"Food for Grunty" is an item that you can <br />
feed them. They don't exist in Δ server, <br />
but if you find any of the food items you <br />
should keep them. They'll come in handy <br />
once you get to the θ server. <br />

Yeah. <br />
You should collect as many as you can. <br />
 
You can find "Food for Grunty" not only <br />
in the fields, but also in the dungeons so <br />
you should keep your eyes open for 'em. <br />
 
When you get near it, it goes Boing-Boing, <br />
so you can probably tell. <br />

it was raining, it got weaker. <br />

It's not really a tip, but for example, to a <br />
Twin Blade, the wand for Wavemaster is not a <br />
very important item, right? But even though <br />
it's not important to you, it might be to <br />
the other party. <br />
 
So you just have to keep an eye on what the <br />
other guy wants and offer that item. <br />

'''Element Tolerance''' <small>(2000/11/02/23:18:32)</small> <br />
Author: CC Corporation <br />
<blockquote>
Element Tolerance is a monster specific <br />
tolerance where a monster receives zero <br />
damage from Element Skills. <br />
 
It is tolerant to a specific element such as <br />
"Fire." For example, if you cast Vak Don to <br />
a Fire Element Tolerant monster, it will do no <br />
damage. Use a non-element attack (such as <br />
basic attacks) or other Element Skills. <br />
If a monster has a tolerance, it will be <br />
displayed on the right side of its name. <br />
</blockquote>
 
 
 
'''Physical Tolerance''' <small>(2000/11/02/23:18:32)</small> <br />
Author: CC Corporation <br />
<blockquote>
Physical Tolerance is a monster specific <br />
tolerance that allows them to remain undamaged <br />
from a Physical Skill. <br />
 
If an enemy with physical tolerance is <br />
encountered inside the dungeon and there is no <br />
one in the party with Magic Skills, then that <br />
enemy cannot be defeated. Always have someone <br />
in your party that has Magic Skills. <br />
 
It is also advised to equip armor with Magic <br />
Skills and scrolls on reserve (Don't forget that <br />
warrior type characters can equip Wavemaster's <br />
armor). <br />
 
If a monster has a tolerance, it will be displayed <br />
on the right side of its name. <br />
</blockquote>
 
'''Magic Toelrance''' <small>(2000/11/02/23:18:32)</small> <br />
Author: CC Corporation <br />
<blockquote>
Magic Tolerance is a monster specific <br />
tolerance that allows them to remain <br />
undamaged from a Magical Skill. <br />
 
If an enemy with magic tolerance is <br />
encountered inside the dungeon, virtually <br />
all attacks by a Wavemaster will have no <br />
effect. If there is a Wavemaster in your <br />
party, place him or her on standby and <br />
concentrate on recovering party members. <br />
 
If a monster has a tolerance, it will be <br />
displayed on the right side of its name. <br />
</blockquote>
 
 
'''Cancelling Tolerance''' <small>(2000/11/02/23:18:32)</small> <br />
Author: CC Corporation <br />
<blockquote>
All of the tolerance explained above can be <br />
cancelled by decreasing the status parameter <br />
with Magic Skills and items. <br />
 
For example: <br />
 
Cancelling Earth Element Tolerance: <br />
Decrease the monster's Earth Element status <br />
by using Dek Ganz or Stonebane. <br />
 
Cancelling Water Element Tolerance: <br />
Decrease the monster's Water Element status <br />
by using Dek Reum or Waterbane. <br />
 
Cancelling Fire Element Tolerance: <br />
Decrease the monster's Fire Element status <br />
by using Dek Vakz or Firebane. <br />
 
Cancelling Wood Element Tolerance: <br />
Decrease the monster's Wood Element status <br />
by using Dek Juka or Treebane. <br />
 
Cancelling Thunder Element Tolerance: <br />
Decrease the monster's Thunder Element status <br />
by using Dek Raio or Lightbane. <br />
 
Cancelling Darkness Element Tolerance: <br />
Decrease the monster's Darkness Element status <br />
by using Dek Anid or Nightbane. <br />
 
Cancelling Physical Tolerance: <br />
Decrease the monster's Defense status <br />
by using Dek Vorv or Knight's Bane. <br />
 
Cancelling Magic Tolerance: <br />
Decrease the monster's Magic Defense status <br />
by using Dek Corma or Beast's Bane. <br />
</blockquote>
 
 
'''Elemental Hit''' <small>(2000/11/02/23:18:32)</small> <br />
Author: CC Corporation <br />
<blockquote>
Elemental Hit is an attack to a monster with an <br />
Element Skill that is opposite its attribute. <br />
At a set probability, damage inflicted is twice <br />
the normal amount. <br />
(ELMENTAL HIT will be displayed). <br />
 
Analyze a monster's attribute and consciously aim <br />
for Elemental Hits to gain advantage in battle. <br />
 
Armor can be changed during battle, so we advise <br />
having armor with different element attributes <br />
on reserve to use Element Skills effectively. <br />
 
The element relationship is as follows: <br />
<span style="color:orange">Wood</span> <- OPPOSITE -> <span style="color:orange">Earth</span> <br />
<span style="color:orange">Thunder</span> <- OPPOSITE -> <span style="color:orange">Darkness</span> <br />
<span style="color:orange">Water</span> <- OPPOSITE -> <span style="color:orange">Fire</span> <br />
 
For example, if a Water Element Skill is used on a <br />
monster with a Fire Element attribute, Elemental <br />
Hit will occur. And conversely, if a Fire Element <br />
Skill is used on a monster with a Water Element <br />
attribute, Elemental Hit will occur. <br />
 
Players cannot receive Elemental Hits. <br />

'''Items in Treasures''' <small>(2000/11/02/23:18:32)</small> <br />
Author: CC Corporation <br />
<blockquote>
Based on feedback from the users, we've <br />
upgraded the items in treasure boxes. <br />
 
Also, different types of items can be <br />
obtained from stationary objects such as <br />
jars, caskets, and other breakable objects. <br />
 
Items can be obtained from the following: <br />
 
Breakable Objects: <br />
HP recovery, cure, and items with element <br />
attribute increases. The area element is <br />
related to the element attribute items. <br />
(There are exceptions). <br />
 
Treasure Boxes: <br />
Mostly magic scrolls. Scrolls relating to <br />
elements are related to the area element <br />
attribute. (There are exceptions). <br />
 
Risky Treasure Boxes: <br />
Armor, weapons and occasionally, SP <br />
recovery items. <br />
 
Gott Statue: <br />
Valuable weapons and armor. A total of <br />
three items can be obtained. <br />

<sup>¤</sup> The title of the thread "Straw Millionaire" is a reference to the Japanese folk tale of the same name. <br />
<sup>◇</sup> Magical Goblins have Fire Tolerance, so they cannot take ''any'' damage from fire spells like Vak Don, let alone reduced damage. <br />
