available in stores.

 

* Note 2: In addition to the item types listed above, Gariland also sells the

Broadsword, but no other types of swords.

 

—When to Buy Items———————————————————–

 

Within a particular category, the specific items that are available is

determined by how far in the story you’ve progressed. Reaching certain points

of the game adds new items to the stores. Once a new item appears in a shop,

it is always for sale and never goes away.

 

Note, however, that even after an item is "unlocked," it does not appear in

every shop. Instead, shops in different towns sell different types of items.

See the list above to see which shops sell which categories of items.

 

Some items NEVER become available in shops and can only be obtained by

stealing, poaching, the Treasure Hunter ability, or through the multiplayer

missions.

%%%RARE ITEM LOCATIONS%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00rare

 

This is a list of where you can find all the items that are Not Sold In Stores.

Items marked with a # can only be found in the multiplayer modes.

 

Items not listed here can be bought in shops. See the Shops List above for

when they become available. There is an unlimited supply of all shop items.

 

—FINDING ITEMS WITH TREASURE HUNTER—

ALL rare items found with Treasure Hunter are better found with a low Bravery.

The higher your Bravery, the higher you’ll get a crummy generic item instead of

the rare item. (The chance of getting the "bad" item is simply equal to your

Bravery.) If you pick up the bad item from a tile, note that you can no longer

get the good item there! The exception is the Materia Blade, which you always

get regardless of your Bravery.

 

—CATCHING WEAPONS FROM NINJAS—

MANY rare weapons can be caught from enemy Ninjas throwing them at you. To do

this, equip the reaction ability Sticky Fingers (Thief); when a Ninja throws

the item at you, you’ll catch it and it will be added to your inventory.

 

Rare items are only thrown if the enemy Ninja has a very high level (90+). To

encounter high level Ninjas, you’ll need to raise your own levels to 90+.

 

Good places to find enemy Ninjas are Midlight’s Deep floor 9, The Interstice,

and the "Littering" mission in Rendezvous Mode. Littering is especially

advantageous as the enemy party always consists of nothing but 10 Ninjas!

 

—MULTIPLAYER PRIZES—

Many rare items can be won in Rendezvous Mode and/or Melee Mode, the game’s

multiplayer modes. (Some items can ONLY be found in this way!) In general,

the items you win in these modes is determined by your characters’ levels. The

earlier Rendezvous Mode missions also place a cap on the quality of item you

can obtain. You can start winning rare items in Littering and all later

missions, but the best items can only be won from the four missions that open

up after you complete the game.

 

—WHICH ITEMS ARE MISSABLE?—

I’ve also indicated whether or not there is a limited supply of each item.

For some rare items, there is only a limited number of them available in the

game, so if you miss the items, or if they get broken or stolen during battle,

you may not be able to find any more!

 

Some items that can be missed in the single-player mode can still be found in

the multiplayer mode.

 

Items that can be missed if you only play the single-player game:

WEAPONS: Rod of Faith, Zeus Mace, Staff of the Magi, Ras Algethi, Perseus Bow

SHIELDS: Kaiser Shield, Venetian Shield, Escutcheon (II)

HEADGEAR: Grand Helm

ARMOR: Genji Armor, Maximillian, Ninja Gear, Mirage Vest, Lordly Robe

ACCESSORIES: Invisibility Cloak, Cursed Ring, Tynar Rouge

ABILITIES: Ultima, Zodiark

 

Items that appear to be truly missable and can’t be found even in multiplayer:

WEAPONS: Rod of Faith, Zeus Mace, Staff of the Magi

SHIELDS: Escutcheon (II)

HEADGEAR: Grand Helm

ARMOR: Maximillian

ACCESSORIES: Cursed Ring, Tynar Rouge

Horror.

—Abilities——————————————————————-

 

Ultima [Game Hunter/Squire (Ramza)]:

– Learned by having Celia or Lettie cast on Luso during Story Battle 34:

Riovanes Castle Roof; Luso must be in the Game Hunter job.

– Learned by having an enemy cast it on Ramza or Luso during Chapter IV; the

targeted character must be in the Game Hunter (Luso) or Squire (Ramza) job.

Enemies that cast Ultima include Celia and Lettie during Story Battles 44:

Limberry Castle Gate and 45: Limberry Castle Keep, and Ultima Demons during

Story Battle 45: Limberry Castle Keep, 46: Limberry Castle Inner Court, and

Story Battle 52: Mullonde Cathedral Sanctuary. See "Learning Ultima" under

Advanced Tactics and Secrets for more information.

– Can also be learned as above from the Ultima Demons in the final battle, but

this is past the point of no return to the world map.

– Once Ramza or Luso has learned it, you can teach it to the other by casting

it on him when the target is in the Game Hunter (Luso) or Squire (Ramza) job.

– Can be learned from another player’s Ramza or Luso in Rendezvous Mode (but

not Melee Mode).

– Learned from Celia or Lettie in the Brave Story mission in Rendezvous Mode,

via the same procedure as above. You must successfully complete the mission

to keep the spell.

MISSABLE?: Yes in single-player mode, if no one has learned it by the time

you finish Story Battle 52. Not missable in Rendezvous Mode.

 

Zodiark [Summoner]:

– Learned by having Elidibus cast it on a Summoner during the initial battle on

the tenth floor of Midlight’s Deep (Terminus), if the Summoner survives.

Each time this happens, you have a high (but not 100%) chance of learning the

spell; you may need to have Elidibus cast it on you more than once if you

don’t learn it the first time. Use Mana Shield to survive the spell, or see

the battle strategy for this battle for additional tips.

– Learned from Elidibus in the Brave Story mission in Rendezvous Mode, via the

same procedure as above. You must succesfully complete the mission to keep

the spell.

– Can be taught to other characters by first casting on an enemy Summoner, then

having the enemy Summoner cast it at the character whom you want to learn the

spell. Again, the target must be a Summoner when hit by the spell. (The

Catacombs, The Switchback, and The Interstice are all good places to find

enemy Summoners.)

MISSABLE?: Yes in single-player, if you don’t learn it during the battle with

Elidibus. Not missable in Rendezvous Mode.

 

%%%MISSABLE ITEMS AND EVENTS%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00miss

 

This is a quick list of story events and unique items that you can "miss" over

the course of the game, and what you need to do to make sure you’re able to

see every story events and collect every item in the single-player mode. This

is just a quick list of key points; for a more detailed treatment, see the

corresponding walkthrough section.

 

Points marked ESSENTIAL *must* be completed to get an item or see an event.

Points marked GOOD IDEA are not strictly necessary, but will make the process

easier — for example, stealing a rare item that otherwise can only be obtained

through poaching a hard-to-find enemy. Finally, I’ve pointed out some points

that seem like they might be needed but are actually NOT IMPORTANT, so that you

don’t have to worry about them!

 

—CHAPTER I——————————————————————-

Nothing in this chapter is missable, or affects your ability to complete

anything else later.

 

* GOOD IDEA: At the start of the battle at Mandalia Plains, you’ll be given a

choice whether to help Argath or directly attack the enemy. Choose the first

option to make the battle easier and gain Bravery, since there aren’t as many

ways to raise your Bravery early on. However, your choice here does not affect

anything else in Chapter I or later on.

 

—CHAPTER II——————————————————————

 

* ESSENTIAL: At the very beginning of this chapter, you will be able to add

Alicia and Lavian to your roster. Add them to your roster, and do NOT let them

leave until you have completed the Agrias’s Birthday sidequest in Chapter IV.

This means that you must not dismiss them, must not let them get turned into

crystals/chests, and must not let them abandon the party due to having a very

low Bravery or very high Faith.

 

* NOT IMPORTANT: At this time, you will also be able to add Ladd to your

roster. Ladd is basically just a generic male human. He doesn’t have any

special abilities and isn’t needed for any sidequests. So, you can take him or

leave him as you want.

 

* GOOD IDEA: At the start of the story battle at Araguay Woods, you’ll be given

a choice whether to help Boco. Choose the second option to avoid losing

Bravery. However, your choice here does not affect anything else.

 

* NOT IMPORTANT: After the Araguay Woods battle, you will be able to add Boco

the chocobo to your roster. Boco is just a regular yellow Chocobo, so you

don’t have to take him along.

 

* NOT TOO IMPORTANT: At the story battle at Tchigolith Fenlands, there’s a

chance of encountering an enemy Pig. Recruit it (using Entice or Time) if you

see it, as you can breed it and poach the pigs for rare items. If you don’t see

it, though, it’s by no means essential to get here as you’ll have many other

chances to recruit them later.

 

* ESSENTIAL: After completing the story battle at the Clockwork City of Goug,

you will be able to add Mustadio to your roster. Mustadio is a unique story

character and is also needed for most of the sidequests in Chapter IV, so add

him to your roster and don’t lose him.

 

* ESSENTIAL: After the battle at Balias Swale, you will be able to add Agrias

to your roster. Agrias is another unique story character and is needed for two

sidequests in Chapter IV, so add her to your team.

 

* ESSENTIAL: Deploying Agrias during the battle at Golgollada Gallows will

allow you to see some extra dialogue between her and Ramza. This dialogue is

not, however, needed to unlock anything else later.

 

—CHAPTER III—————————————————————–

 

* GOOD IDEA: When Alma joins the party, it’s a good idea de-equip her Healing

Staff and Barette (as well as her Red Shoes) before you go to the Orbonne

Monastery. This is not *required* as both these items can be poached later:

the Healing Staff is a rare poach from Dryads and the Barette is a rare poach

from Red Chocobos.

 

* NOT IMPORTANT: During a story event, you will be asked whether or not you

have read the Scriptures of Germonique. Your response here has no bearing on

anything, so don’t worry about it 🙂

 

* GOOD IDEA: The story battle at Zeklaus Desert features all three types of

behemoths. All three types of behemoth yield rare items when poached. So, you

may want to poach them, or recruit one or more onto your team (with Entice or

Tame) to breed more behemoths for poaching. However, it is not necessary to

poach/recruit them here as there are plenty of behemoths in random battles

later in the game.

 

* ESSENTIAL: After the battle at Zeklaus Desert, you will be able to add Luso

to your roster. This is your only opportunity to get this unique character on

your team, so add him. (Luso is not needed to unlock any other events,

though.)

 

* ESSENTIAL: At the very end of Chapter III, you will be given a chance to add

Rapha and Marach to your roster. Both are unique story characters and each has

different abilities, so sign them up. (They are not, however, very useful :P.)

 

—CHAPTER IV——————————————————————

 

The Gollund Colliery sidequest is available at the beginning of this chapter.

Assuming you still have Mustadio, Agrias, Alicia, and Lavian on your roster,

the Agrias’s Birthday sidequest is also available at this time. Both of these

sidequests are available until completed and never disappear. (See Walkthrough

– Sidequests for the full walkthroughs for these quests.)

 

—Agrias’s Birthday—

* ESSENTIAL: After completing the Agrias’s Birthday sidequest, you will receive

the Tynar Rouge accessory. This is a one-of-a-kind item and cannot be

replaced, so don’t throw it away, or let it get broken or stolen by an enemy.

 

After completing the Agrias’s Birthday event, Alicia and Lavian are not

strictly needed for any other events, although they will appear in Disorder in

the Order if you still have them along.

 

—Gollund Colliery—

* ESSENTIAL: Near the beginning of this quest (at the Tavern in Lesalia),

Beowulf will ask you to team up. Choose the second option to agree to this.

Otherwise, Beowulf will leave and the quest cannot be completed.

 

* GOOD IDEA: In the third battle in this quest (Gollund Colliery Ridge), you

will encounter an enemy Pig. Entice or Tame the Pig so you can start breeding

monsters from the pig family. Some rare items can only be obtained by poaching

pig-family monsters — including those from the Wild Boar monster, which can

ONLY be obtained by breeding! If you do miss the Pig here, though, you can get

others later.

 

* ESSENTIAL: After completing the last battle of this quest, Beowulf and Holy

Dragon Reis will offer to join your team. Both are unique story characters and

both are needed for later quests, so sign them up.

 

* ESSENTIAL: Upon return to the Clockwork City of Goug, Construct 8 will also

be offered as another character. Construct 8 is another unique character, so

recruit it.

 

—Chapter IV Main Quest – Up to Bervenia Free City—

* GOOD IDEA: During the story battle at Bervenia Free City, you may want to

steal the Defender and Chantage from Meliadoul, especially since both are good

items. However, these can also be poached/stolen/caught later if you miss them.

 

After completing the story battle at the Free City of Bervenia, the Recruiting

Balthier sidequest is now available. It does not depend on any missable

factors.

 

—Recruiting Balthier Quest—

* ESSENTIAL: After you complete this quest, Balthier will offer to join.

Again, he is a unique story character, so sign him up. He is not needed for

any other quests.

 

* ESSENTIAL: Balthier’s initial equipment includes the Ras Algethi gun and the

Mirage Vest body armor. Both of these are unique items in single-player, so,

again, don’t throw them away or let them get broken. (Note that you must sign

up Balthier to get them.) It is possible to get additional guns and vests in

the multiplayer modes.

 

—Chapter IV Main Quest – Finnath Creek to Sal Ghidos—

* GOOD IDEA: During the story battle at Finnath Creek (NOT during the random

battles), there’s a random chance of encountering one more enemy Pigs. If you

don’t already have one, Entice or Tame a Pig so you can start breeding

monsters from the pig family. Some rare items can only be obtained by poaching

pig-family monsters — including those from the Wild Boar monster, which can

ONLY be obtained by breeding! If you don’t get any Pigs here, you can get

others later.

 

* GOOD IDEA: In the story battle at Beddha Sandwaste, you can steal a Glacial

Gun from Barich. This is a rare item that can’t be bought in stores, but it’s

not unique and you can get an infinite supply from random battles later.

 

* ESSENTIAL: After completing the battles at Fort Besselat, Orlandeau will

offer to join. Sign him up as he is another unique story character.

 

* GOOD IDEA: Orlandeau’s initial equipment includes the Excalibur knight’s

sword. The Excalibur isn’t unique (an infinite supply can be caught from high-

level enemy Ninjas), but Excaliburs are hard to get, so hang on to it!

 

* ESSENTIAL: When you first visit the Trade City of Sal Ghidos, you will see a

cutscene in which Aerith offers you a flower. Choose the SECOND option to buy

the flower. If you do not buy the flower, you will NOT be able to complete the

Nelveska Temple & Recruiting Cloud subquests, and there is only ONE chance to

get it!!

 

Once you have the flower, you can complete the Nelveska Temple sidequest if you

also finished the Gollund Colliery quest and still have Beowulf and Reis on

your team.

 

—Nelveska Temple Quest—

* ESSENTIAL: Using the Treasure Hunter ability, move atop the left pillar to

find the Escutcheon (II) shield. You will need to use a large monster (such as

Reis or Construct 8) as a stepping-stone to get up on top of the pillar. You

may instead receive a crummy regular Escutcheon; the chance of getting this BAD

Escutcheon is equal to your Bravery. So, a lower Bravery is better! This is

the ONLY chance to get the Escutcheon II in the game and you CANNOT come back

to this map afterwards, so you must pick it up here to get every item.

 

* GOOD IDEA: The Javelin II, Sasuke’s Blade, and Nagnarok weapons can also be

found with Treasure Hunter and low Bravery here. These, however, are not

unique; Sasuke’s Blade and the Javelin II can be caught from enemy Ninjas and

the Nagnarok can be poached from Swine.

 

* ESSENTIAL: After completing the events in this quest, Reis’s new version will

offer to rejoin your party. She is another unique story character and needed

for the Lionel’s New Liege Lord quest, so sign her up.

 

—Chapter IV Main Quest – Mount Germinas to Limberry—

* ESSENTIAL: The Mount Germinas map contains an item, the Invisiblity Cloak,

that’s one-of-a-kind in single-player. It’s found using Treasure Hunter atop

the mountain; see Advanced Tactics and Secrets for a map to its location.)

Again, the lower your Bravery, the better chance of getting the Invisibility

Cloak instead of just an Ether. You only get to pick up ONE of these items, so

if you end up with the Ether, the Invisibility Cloak is gone for good! Unlike

with the Nelveska Temple items, however, there’s absolutely no need to get this

during the story battle here — you can come back and get it in a random battle

at any time. It’s also possible to win Invisibility Cloaks in Rendezvous Mode.

 

* GOOD IDEA: You may encounter another Pig in the story battle at Finnath

Creek. (It’s random whether or not you’ll see it.) If you missed the Pig in

the Gollund Colliery, try to recruit this one. If you don’t get one here, you

can still find an infinite supply in Dorvaulder Marsh or the last floor of

Midlight’s Deep.

 

* GOOD IDEA: At Limberry, you’ll face a series of four battles. In the first

three battles, you’ll want to learn Ultima by having one of the Assassins or

Ultima Demons cast it on either Ramza in his Squire job, or Luso in his Game

Hunter job. It is easiest by far to learn it in the first battle (at the

gate).

 

* NOT IMPORTANT: You can’t steal Elmdore’s equipment in this version of the

game, so don’t even try.

 

* ESSENTIAL: After winning all the battles at Limberry, Meliadoul will offer to

join you. Sign her up; she is a unique character and is needed for another

couple story events.

 

* GOOD IDEA: Meliadoul comes with a Save The Queen sword. Again, the supply of

these is actually unlimited (since they can be caught from enemy Ninjas), but

keeping this one as a good idea!

 

The Recruiting Cloud quest is now available.

 

—Recruiting Cloud Quest—

* ESSENTIAL: When given the chance to sign up Cloud, add him. He isn’t needed

for anything else, but IS a unique story character.

 

* GOOD IDEA: Cloud’s Materia Blade is found atop Mount Bervenia using Treasure

Hunter. Bravery is NOT important. Try to hang onto it since Cloud needs it

for his Limit command, but if you lose it, you CAN get more from enemy Ninjas.

 

—Chapter IV Main Quest – Eagrose to End—

* ESSENTIAL: After Limberry, you will be directed back to Eagrose. On your way

back to Eagrose, enter Dorter Trade City for an optional battle. (This battle

will only trigger if you have Meliadoul on your roster.) If you visit Eagrose

before activated this battle, it will disappear.

 

* GOOD IDEA: In the aforementioned Dorter battle, you can steal a Dragon Rod

from Cletienne. This weapon can also be found as a rare poach from Blue

Dragons, but it’s easiest to steal.

 

* GOOD IDEA: The boss at Eagrose has a Defender sword you can steal, if you

missed the one at Bervenia or want a second one. Again, there’s actually an

unlimited supply of Defenders (from poaching Elder Treants), so you don’t

*have* to get this one.

 

* GOOD IDEA: Once you get to Mullonde, you’ll face a series of three battles.

In the first battle, the enemy Summoner has another Dragon Rod if you missed

the prior one.

 

* ESSENTIAL: For the second battle at Mullonde, deploy Meliadoul for some

additional mid-battle dialogue. (This is not needed to unlock anything else,

however.)

 

* ESSENTIAL: If you have not yet learned the Ultima spell, the third battle at

Mullonde is your last chance in the single-player mode to learn it, if Ultima

Demons cast it on either Ramza in his Squire job, or Luso in his Game Hunter

job.

 

Once you complete the battles at Mullonde, you will be able to complete the

last set of sidequests, as well as the last set of story battles. You must

still have Beowulf, Reis, and Agrias to complete this final set of sidequests.

 

* ESSENTIAL: After entering Orbonne Monastery for the final sequence of

battles, SAVE YOUR GAME IN A DIFFERENT SLOT. You will NOT be able to get out

to the world map again. So, if you want to be able to roam the map at all, you

must keep a separate save from BEFORE you went into the Monastery.

 

—Lionel’s New Liege Lord Quest—

* NOT IMPORANT: Aliste has Safeguard, so you can’t steal any of his Genji gear.

Sorry.

 

* ESSENTIAL: After completing the first battle of this quest, you will receive

the Genji Armor as a battle trophy. This is a unique item, so do not let get

it stolen or broken.

 

* GOOD IDEA: You can steal the Masamune from one of the enemy samurai in the

second battle of this quest. The Masamune can only be otherwise obtained by

catching it from enemy Ninjas (or winning it in Rendezvous Mode), so it’s good

to get here. (Be careful using the Masamune for Iaido; if it breaks, you’ll

have to catch a replacement!)

 

* GOOD IDEA: You can also steal a Cachusha and Barette from the enemy Mystics

in the same battle. These are also available from poaching.

 

* ESSENTIAL: You will receive a Zeus Mace as a battle trophy after the second

battle. Keep it; this is one of only two in the game.

 

—Disorder in the Order Quest—

* GOOD IDEA: If you still have Alicia and Lavian in your roster, the story

event at Zeltennia Castle will include them in the background. However, having

them here doesn’t affect the actual event, nor your ability to do anything else

later. Note that once you’ve completed this event, Alicia and Lavian aren’t

used for anything else, so you could dismiss them if you want since they’re

otherwise just generic characters.

 

* ESSENTIAL: If you bring Orlandeau to the battle in this quest, you can see a

little extra dialogue. But, it’s not needed for anything else.

 

* ESSENTIAL: In the battle in this quest, you can steal Venetian and Kaiser

Shields from the two Knights, and Ninja Gear from the enemy Monk. There is

only other one copy of each of these items in the single-player mode, so be

sure to snag them. (However, you can get an infinite supply in multiplayer.)

 

* GOOD IDEA: You can also steal a Sasuke’s Blade, Barette, Blaze Gun, and

Glacial Gun in the same battle, although none of these are strictly necessary.

 

—Midlight’s Deep—

All the floors of Midlight’s Deep have items you can find with Treasure Hunter.

Again, a lower Bravery increases your chance is needed to get these items;

otherwise, you just get a Phoenix Down. If you get the Phoenix Down, the

"good" item disappears, even if you leave the battle and re-enter.

 

* GOOD IDEA: Good Treasure Hunter pickups on The Crevasse: Glacial Gun and

Blaze Gun. (Both also obtainable in random battles, however.)

 

* GOOD IDEA: Good Treasure Hunter pickups on The Stair: Save The Queen and

Blood Sword.

 

* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Hollow: Zeus Mace. There are only

two of these available in the game; the other comes from the Lionel’s New Liege

Lord quest.

* GOOD IDEA: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Hollow: Yoichi Bow.

 

* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Catacombs: Rod of Faith. Only

available here.

* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Catacombs: Kaiser Shield. One of

only two in single-player; the other comes from Disorder in the Order.

* GOOD IDEA: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Catacombs: Faerie Harp.

 

* GOOD IDEA: Good Treasure Hunter pickups on The Oubliette: Excalibur and Iga

Blade.

 

* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Palings: Cursed Ring. This is the

only one in the game, and also pretty much essential for completing one of the

Rendezvous Mode missions.

* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Palings: Ninja Gear (1 of 2 in the

single-player game; the other from Disorder in the Order).

* GOOD IDEA: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Palings: Blaster gun.

 

* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Crossing: Staff of the Magi (only

one in the game).

* GOOD IDEA: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Crossing: Koga Blade.

 

* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickups on The Switchback: Perseus Bow and Lordly

Robe (both only available here in single-player, but can be found in

Rendezvous).

* GOOD IDEA: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Switchback: Excalibur.

 

* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickups on The Interstice: Maximillian and Grand

Helm (both unique), and Venetian Shield (1 of 2 in the single-player game; the

other is from Disorder in the Order)

 

* ESSENTIAL: The first time you enter floor 10 (Terminus), you’ll fight a story

battle. This is your only chance to obtain the Zodiark summon in the single-

player game, by having it the boss cast it on a character using the Summoner

job. Use Mana Shield to survive the spell.

 

* ESSENTIAL: After defeating Elidibus, you will be able to sign up the Byblos.

This is a unique monster/character, so add it.

 

* GOOD IDEA: Treasure Hunter pickups on Terminus: Chaos Blade and Chirijiraden.

(Be careful using the Chirijiraden for Iaido; if it breaks, you’ll have to

catch a replacement!)

XII. ERRANDS

*******************************************************************************

 

%%%BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT ERRANDS%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00err0

 

—Beginning and Ending an Errand———————————————–

 

–THE BASICS–

Errands are used to earn extra JP and gil. When you accept an errand at a

Tavern, you’ll pay a small fee and can send 1-3 characters away on the errand.

The characters will be gone for the number of days you chose; during this time,

they can’t fight or change jobs/equipment. When the number of days of the

errand has elapsed, return to the Tavern and choose Report. (It has to be at

the same town as where the Errand started.) When you click Report, you’ll hear

whether or not the Errand was successful.

 

If the errand is successful, you’ll earn some gil and the 1-3 characters sent

on the errand will gain some JP for their current job. Some errands pay quite

well and can net you more than 20,000 gil, while others pay less than it costs

to sign up for them!

 

The amount of gil and JP you earn is largely dependent on the particular

errand, and on the number of days for which the characters were deployed.

(Deploying the characters for more days earns you more gil/JP.) Your current

job and sometimes your Bravery/Faith values also play a small role in determing

your pay; more details are below.

 

Only generic human characters, not monsters or special story characters, may be

sent on errands. Ladd, Alicia, and Lavian are considered generic characters

for this purpose.

 

To check how many days are remaining on your current errands, open the menu

on the world map and select Chronicle -> Feats -> Present.

 

 

–WHEN DO NEW ERRANDS APPEAR?–

Errands are not available until Chapter II. Beginning in Chapter II, new

errands regularly appear in the Taverns as you progress through the game. Each

town has its own set of errands.

 

If you don’t complete an errand during the Chapter in which it first appears,

it will still be there in future chapters and you can always come back to it!

 

There are also a few errands that are only available during specific months;

these appear at the bottom of the Errands list below.

 

 

–SUCCESS AND FAILURE–

Success on an errand isn’t guaranteed. Occasionally, the characters sent on an

errand may fail to complete it. If this happens, you’ll receive only minimal

JP and gil.

 

If you fail an errand, let the calendar advance to the next month and the

errand should re-appear in the Tavern.

 

You can improve your odds of success by selecting characters who are well-

suited for the job based on their current job and Bravery/Faith values.

(Preferred jobs and Bravery/Faith stats are listed in the Errands list below.)

 

Failures really only tend to occur if ALL of the characters you send are

totally ill-suited for the errand. As long as you have at least one decent

character on the errand, you should succeed.

 

Although characters can sometimes fail an errand, no harm ever comes to the

characters. You cannot lose characters or items on an errand.

 

 

–ABANDONING AN ERRAND–

If you need to quickly get back your deployed characters, you can go to a

Tavern in any town (it does not have to be the one from which they embarked)

and choose Recall Units.

 

After you choose Recall Units, the characters will give up on the errand and

head back home. After another day has passed (i.e., one move on the world map),

go to the Tavern from which you deployed the characters (this time, it MUST be

the same town) and choose Report to get them back. The errand will have ended

in failure, but the characters will be returned to your active roster, and you

can retry the errand next month.

 

Of course, since it takes 1-2 days to get your characters back even after doing

a Recall, there’s no sense in abandoning an errand that only has 1-2 days left

to finish!

 

 

—Artefacts and Wonders——————————————————–

 

Some errands reward you with Artefacts or Wonders of the Ancient World. These

prizes are displayed in your Chronicle menu, but otherwise have no impact on

the game.

 

In the Japanese version of the game, a few of the book-like Artefacts (Mesa’s

Musings, the Veil of Wiyu, Nanai’s Histories, and the Enavia Chronicles) can be

used to play Choose Your Own Adventure-style text-adventure games. These mini-

games aren’t available in any of the English releases, but since the text games

also have no impact on the main game, their absence doesn’t change much.

 

Collecting more Artefacts and Wonders will increase your Treasure Hunter and

Adventurer ranks, as reported to you by the Tavernmaster. These ranks are also

purely cosmetic, although collecting all the Artefacts and Wonders will earn

you some nice stars on your Chronicle screen 😉

 

1 artefact : Level 1 Treasure Hunter 1 wonder : Level 1 Adventurer

4 artefacts : Level 2 Treasure Hunter 3 wonders : Level 2 Adventurer

8 artefacts : Level 3 Treasure Hunter 6 wonders : Level 3 Adventurer

12 artefacts : Level 4 Treasure Hunter 3 wonders : Level 4 Adventurer

16 artefacts : Level 5 Treasure Hunter 10 wonders : Level 5 Adventurer

20 artefacts : Level 6 Treasure Hunter 12 wonders : Level 6 Adventurer

24 artefacts : Level 7 Treasure Hunter 14 wonders : Level 7 Adventurer

31 artefacts : Master Treasure Hunter 16 wonders : Master Adventurer

 

The total number of Artefacts and Wonders is identical to the number of errands

from which you get Artefacts and Wonders, so you’re guaranteed to get all the

Artefacts and Wonders if you complete all the errands.

 

 

—Errand Payout—————————————————————-

 

When you complete an errand, each participating character will receive JP, and

you’ll also earn some gil for the party.

 

The specific amount of JP and gil awarded is a sum of five factors:

* The errand’s base pay

* The number of days you deployed the characters for

* Character job effects

* Bravery/Faith effects

* The Bonus received

All of these factors are combined into the JP and gil totals you see displayed

at the end of the errand.

 

Below, I’ll describe each of these factors in more detail.

 

–BASE PAY–

Some errands just give you more gil or JP than others. This is by far the most

important factor. Some errands pay handsomely; others are a total rip-off!

 

–NUMBER OF DAYS–

Deploying the characters for more days earns you a little more JP and gil. (The

only thing that counts is the number that you choose when you start the errand.

As you might expect, having the characters wait in the Tavern for extra days

after you complete the errand does not earn them any extra JP or gil.)

 

–CHARACTER JOB EFFECTS–

Different character jobs are suited for different errands. For example, Ninjas

are best at combat-oriented jobs, while Orators are good at acquiring the info

needed for investigations.

 

If a character’s current job is well-suited for the errand, they may earn a

small amount of extra JP and gil. (Or, your JP and gil award may be reduced if

you use a really inappropriate job.) One character’s job does not affect the

JP earned by other characters on the errand.

 

The Errand Types section below lists all the bonuses/penalties for all jobs for

every errand type.

 

Note that sometimes when your characters are giving their report of an errand,

they’ll say something like, "The skills of the Archer were a great boon to

us." These messages do NOT actually reflect the best job for the errand, so

don’t be fooled! (Reportedly, these messages were SUPPOSED to be accurate, but

a bug in the game causes it to display the wrong message. Oops!)

 

TIP: Using the best job only gets you a few extra JP and gil. So, in most

cases, it isn’t worth changing jobs to one you don’t normally use. Stick with

jobs for which the JP rewards will actually be useful! This is particularly

true for Mimes and Onion Knights — earning JP with these jobs is pretty silly

as they have no abilities to buy.

 

–BRAVERY AND FAITH–

Some errands also take your Bravery and Faith into consideration when awarding

JP and gil. There are three kinds of errands in this regard:

* Errands where your Bravery and Faith don’t matter

* Errands that prefer HIGH Bravery and LOW Faith

* Errands that prefer LOW Bravery and HIGH Bravery

Every errand that prefers high Bravery also prefers low Faith, and vice versa.

 

The specific effects of these stats on your JP/gil award are below:

 

WHEN HIGH BRAVERY PREFERRED: WHEN LOW BRAVERY PREFERRED:

81 – 97 Bravery : +10 JP & gil 81 – 97 Bravery : -5 JP & gil

61 – 80 Bravery : +5 JP & gil 61 – 80 Bravery : -2 JP & gil

41 – 60 Bravery : No change 41 – 60 Bravery : No change

21 – 40 Bravery : -2 JP & gil 21 – 40 Bravery : +5 JP & gil

6 – 20 Bravery : -5 JP & gil 6 – 20 Bravery : +10 JP & gil

 

WHEN LOW FAITH PREFERRED: WHEN HIGH FAITH PREFERRED:

81 – 94 Faith : -5 JP & gil 81 – 94 Faith : +10 JP & gil

61 – 80 Faith : -2 JP & gil 61 – 80 Faith : +5 JP & gil

41 – 60 Faith : No change 41 – 60 Faith : No change

21 – 40 Faith : +5 JP & gil 21 – 40 Faith : -2 JP & gil

3 – 20 Faith : +10 JP & gil 3 – 20 Faith : -5 JP & gil

 

As with the job effects, these effects are really pretty small.

 

Note that equipping the Rod of Faith has NO effect on your Faith for the

purposes of running errands; the Faith status from this weapon only applies in

battle.

 

–BONUSES–

Successfully completing most errands earns your team one of several kinds of

bonuses, listed below. The kind of bonus you receive is always the SAME for a

given errand; I’ve listed the bonus for each errand in the Errand List section

below. (Generally, it varies by the type of errand — exploration-type errands

give you Wonders, combat-type errands usually give you Gil Bags, etc.).

 

No bonus is awarded if you fail the errand, but you can always retry it.

 

Each bonus comes in one of three tiers. Receiving the Tier 2 bonus awards

additional gil and additional JP to each character, compared to Tier 1. Tier 3

gives you even more than that! This additional JP and gil is rolled into the

total awarded — you won’t see it displayed separately.

 

It’s RANDOM which tier of the bonus you are awarded (and which Artefact or

Wonder you get, for those errands). As you might expect, Tier 2 is more

uncommon than Tier 1, and Tier 3 is the rarest.

 

EXAMPLE: For the "Ore" bonus, you’ll randomly receive either iron ore, mythril

ore (Tier 2), or adamantite (Tier 3, the rarest). Receiving mythril gives you

an extra 3100 gil and 20 extra JP to each character, compared to iron.

Receiving adamantite gives you 5100 gil, plus 30 extra JP per character.

 

A list of all the bonus types:

 

BONUS TYPE TIER 2 (VS. TIER 1) TIER 3 (VS. TIER 1) ERRAND TYPE

Artefact –No tiers. Random Artefact awarded.– (multiple types)

Gil Bag (Combat) +450 gil, +20 JP +3350 gil, +30 JP Combat

Gil Bag (Salvage) +1600 gil, +20 JP +4100 gil, +30 JP Salvage

Ore +3100 gil, +20 JP +5100 gil, +30 JP Mining

Payment (Large) +1100 gil, +20 JP +3100 gil, +30 JP Investigation

Payment (Small) +450 gil, +20 JP +3350 gil, +30 JP Investigation N1

Prize Money +1000 gil, +20 JP +2000 gil, +40 JP Melee

Reward Money +200 gil, +20 JP +1600 gil, +30 JP Odd Jobs

Nothing… No extra gil/JP No extra gil/JP (multiple types)

Wonders –No tiers. Random Wonder awarded.– Exploration

 

The specific tier of bonus you receive isn’t determined until your characters

actually report the job. So, if you want, you can save right before you choose

the job report, report the job, and reload your save if you don’t get a Tier 2

or Tier 3 bonus (though this can be a rather inefficient way to gain JP/gil).

 

–IRRELEVANT FACTORS–

Aside from the stats listed above, everything else does NOT have any affect on

your payout from errands. Character level, gender, equipment, abilities, and

stats aside from Bravery and Faith are all irrelevant to your payout. So, it’s

fine to deploy even low-level characters on errands.

 

JP Boost does not increase the JP received from errands.

 

%%%ERRAND TYPES & PREFERRED JOBS%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00err1

 

The 96 Errands in the game can be divided into 22 errand "types." For each

errand type, different character jobs will net you the most JP and gil. Below,

I’ve listed each errand type and how all the jobs stack up for that errand type.

 

The number in the "JP/GIL" column shows how much that job increases or decreases

your JP intake. (The effects on JP and gil are always the same!) A

character’s job affects only HIS/HER OWN JP intake and does not affect any

other characters who might be on the errand. A negative number here just

decreases the JP and gil received from the errand, it does NOT cause you to

lose JP and gil you already have.

 

Sometimes when you complete an errand, you’ll get a message like, "The skills

of the Archer were a great boon to us." As noted above, due to a bug in the

game,these messages do NOT actually reflect the best job for the errand!

 

Note that the figures you see after an errand may occasionally be off by a point

due to rounding weirdness.

 

[ Note: I haven’t yet added the two PSP-exclusive jobs, Dark Knight and Onion

Knight, to this chart. They’ll be in a future update. ]

%%%ERRAND LIST%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00err2

 

Below you’ll find a complete list of all the errands in the game, sorted by when

they become available. Most errands simply open up as you move forward through

the games. A few errands only appear during certain months of the year; these

are listed at the end.

 

"Gil Reward" rates about how much gil you can expect to earn from the errand,

on a scale from 1 star (the least) to 5 stars (the most). Note that if you

take an errand with a high cost but a poor Gil Reward, you may actually end up

with a net LOSS in money!

 

"Errand Type:" indicates the category of errand — such as mining, combat, etc.

This determines which jobs are good or bad for the errand. I’ve listed just

the best job here, and you can check the Errand Types & Preferred Jobs section

above for the complete list. (Where Mime is the best job, I’ve listed the next-

best job instead, since it’s kinda pointless to earn JP using the Mime job 😉 .)

 

"Bonus:" indicates the type of bonus received. See "General Information About

Errands" above for what this means.

 

"Bravery/Faith:" indicates whether the job has any kind of Bravery or Faith

preference. If your characters’ Bravery or Faith values match the jobs’

preferences, they’ll gain a little more JP and gil. See "General Information

About Errands" above for specific details.

********************************************************************************

XIII. RANDOM BATTLES

********************************************************************************

 

%%%OVERWORLD RANDOM BATTLES%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00over

 

In addition to the main story battles you encounter as you progress through the

game, you’ll also get into random battles as you move across the map.

 

Random battles occur at green dots on the map. Whenever you move onto or across

a green dot, there is about a 30% (3 in 10) chance that you will get into a

random battle.

 

Combat in random battles functions almost exactly like that in story battles,

with a few exceptions:

– You don’t have to deploy Ramza.

– Until reaching Lionel Castle in Chapter II, you may deploy up to 4

characters for a random battle. Once you reach Lionel Castle, the limit

increases to 5 characters for the rest of the game.

– The experience level of the enemies you fight in random battles in based on

your deployed characters’ levels. (In story battles, the enemies have a

fixed experience level that does not change even if you level up.)

– Any Guests on your roster will not participate in random battles.

– Battle Trophies are never earned from random battles, but you do still earn

Bonus Gil the same as in story battles.

– Story battles have mostly human enemies, but random battles have mostly

monster enemies.

 

Different locations on the map have different kind of random battle enemies. In

addition, the DIRECTION you enter the location also affects what kind of enemies

you see. For example, if you enter Mandalia Plain heading south from Eagrose,

there’s a chance you’ll encounter a Malboro. But if you enter Mandalia Plain

via Gariland or the Brigands’ Den, Malboros never appear.

 

The direction from which you’re entering also determines where your team starts

on the battle map. For instance, if you enter Finnath Creek from the west,

you’ll start at the top of the river, but if you enter from the east, you’ll

start at the bottom of the river.

 

Below, I’ve listed the types of monsters and human enemies that you’ll find at

each location, as well as a rough estimate of how often they show up on average.

COMMON : Encountered 50% of the time or more on average

UNCOMMON : 25% – 49%

RARE : 8% – 24%

VERY RARE : < 8%

These are averages, of course, so sometimes you’ll encounter 0 of a particular

enemy and sometimes you may encounter more than 1. For instance, if the Black

Chocobo is Uncommon at a particular area, on average you’ll encounter 1 Black

Chocobo every 2 to 4 battles (25% to 50% of the time). But, in a given battle,

you may see 0 Black Chocobos or you might even see 2 or 3.

 

(Enemies that only appear in the "special" random battles aren’t included in

this list; see further down for more information on the special battles.)

 

As you progress through the game, a wider variety of monster types will appear

in each location. Only a limited set of monsters appears in Chapter I. More

monsters are added at the start of Chapter II, and then even more at the start

of Chapter IV. I’ve listed the random encounters separately for Chapter I,

Chapters II & III, and Chapter IV.

 

Note that there are a few monsters and human jobs that are NEVER encountered in

random battles anywhere in any chapter:

Wild Boar Dancer Dark Knight

Bard Mime Onion Knight

Characters with special jobs or with enemy-only jobs also don’t appear in

random battles.
