Draw or Refine?

[Wolf Kanno]

So how did you get the majority of your spells? Did you draw 100 from an enemy or draw point like a chump, or refine all those usless items and weak spells into stat boosting awesomness?

[Colonel Angus]

Draw. Gotta save those items for when you really need them.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I'd draw. Honestly, I'm surprised I never messed with refining that much. I feel like the only time I ever refined was to get a bunch of Auras. I'd also refine to get a bunch of megalixers. 99 auras + 99 megalixers = extremely easy final boss fight.

[Ayen]

I drew from enemies and draw points I could find.

[metagloria]

I generally start off the game by drawing 100 of everything useful for everyone, but later on it becomes predominantly refining. However, I'm playing differently right now (LOTS of Triple Triad in the beginning and minimal leveling), so I don't have the spells I normally would this early (-agas, Flare and Holy from Diablos, etc.)...but as soon as Quezy learns Card Mod, I have over 300 cards ready to be turned into gamebreaking spells.

Drawing is for scrubs :smug:
Anyway, I draw a tiny bit before I get access to the first refinement skill. After that, only when I find really rare spells, like ultima.

[Karifean]

I draw a little and rarely ever refine. I don't see the need to do any more.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

I'm refining all these answers and turning them into 100 draw points.

The spells include:

-draw points rock
-keep your items
-keep your rare cards

[Mirage]

Why keep items? Why refine rare cards?

[Pumpkin]

Draw. I rarely refine

[Shorty]

Draw. I refine cards often if I have more than one of them. Refining all the character cards at the end for the Sorceress battles physically hurt me.

I couldn't imagine doing such a thing.

However, I think if you do refine your character cards, the Magic Card Chick uses them in games again, so you can find her & try to win them again (SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM, THANK YOU).

[Shorty]

I don't think you can get to her after Time Kompression. Can you?

[Karifean]

I don't think you can get to her after Time Kompression. Can you?

The Queen of Cards is at the Escape Pod south of Esthar on Disk 4.

The CC Club is also aboard the Ragnarok and you can get all your refined and unacquired cards from them as well.

[Mirage]

yeah, so don't worry, refine those rares
DO IT
NEVER DRAW AGAIN

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

No no. The Triple Triad games you play with her have as many status effects as a Malboro's bad breath. No way.
