Hi there! Started playing Ryza 1 (on Normal) and have been loving it. Crafting fingers all the ADHD holes in my brain just right so I've been leveling up all my equipment as much as possible whenever I get access to new resources. However this might present a problem, because now almost every enemy encounter has been completely trivialized. I got to Megamouth the mandatory Boss Shark and absolutely MELTED him in literally three hits. I don't think I ever used a healing item or rest spot once. So a question, if I want to actually have fun fighting monsters should I stop playing so sweaty optimizing my gear to hell and back or does the game pick up in challenge once I eventually leave the island area (which I assume we do) and my Alchemy min-max addiction actually becomes necessary
