I need some help on some stuff....

[Rin]

Yea, I'm a newbie to the series with Awakening and I'm a little over halfway through not including paralogues, so forgive me if some of this stuff sounds stupid? I have a LOT of questions, some are about the gameplay and some are about the story/characters themselves. You don't have to answer every single one, but please answer seriously.

Okay, so first, on weapons. Recently Panne's Beaststone "broke", so how do I get another one? I'd also like to know where you can find stronger mage tomes, like Elwind or Katarina's Bolt, for example.

I failed to recruit Donny in the Paralogue 1 chapter (and I started the chapter late, too). Is there a second chance to recruit him, or not?

Is Marth actually in the game or is he from a different game? Seriously, the whole Lucina/Marth thing was confusing.

I just completed Chapter 14, and I don't mind MINOR spoilers (just keep em in tags). I actually have a couple other questions but they basically require spoilers

Okay let me go question by question

Panne's Beaststone is replaceable, you can buy them in one of the stores (you might not have gotten there yet). Later in the game you'll get access to the Beaststone+ which is basically a stronger beaststone too.

You'll never get a chance to recruit Donnel, I'm sorry. He's probably the best character if you level him properly, but you can still easily play and win the game without him. Anyway it's almost impossible not to have multiple playthroughs of FE:A so next time get him and complete all social links and whatnot.

Marth is not in the game and is not Lucina. She just calls herself Marth to hide her identity. Technically you can recruit Marth to your team by the bonus box thing, but you'll need a pretty strong team to take him so you might want to wait till after you beat the final level or are close to there.

Chapter 14 is getting to the exciting parts. The game only gets better from there!

Thank you @Ashkil And I actually ended up Googling about Marth/Lucina because his voice sounded shota/girlish. This was actually not long after I got the game because I advanced quickly through the first 8-10 or so chapters.

Is there a Dragonstone as well in that shop? I think Nowi's running low as well, but I've sidelined her for now which isn't a big deal.

 

[Ashkil]

I believe that the dragonstone and beaststone were found in the same shop actually.
Oh I forgot to answer your question about tomes. Tomes like elwind you'll be able to buy which are just upgrades over previous tomes only by power, but tomes like katerina's bolt which give special bonuses cannot be bought and can only be obtained by the bonus box or by defeating enemies carrying it.

So the beast stones you can get im a store after you beat a chapter, I think chapter 18 has them.

Marth is not in the actual story but you can uptain him by doing the fights in the bonus box which you can find when you click wireless.

And I dont think you can get donnel after messing prolouge 1 up
