Well I finally got through Broken Valley, and I think I may have found and completed all the side quest. Even remember to take the item back to Romon.
Thanks (especially to Raze) for making it possible.

SO: 1st question for my new adventure on Sentinel Island. I am now at Level 13

Should I try to find the 8 people that Island told me about or try to find the Battle Tower first?

Already got my first side quest from the Hermit.

I've always been crazy, but it keeps me from going insane.
