Trouble with "Draw Out" skills...

[Dark Falken]

I've not been able to figure out how to use thse skills. I have a katana equiped, but it still says I don't have one in inventory. What am I overlooking? Thanks...

[Alexander]

You must have a katana in your inventory AND learned the skill with the katana's name. Simple.

[Lich3636]

the sword your weilding dosent count you need one not equiped in items to be able to use the skill

[eestlinc]

and the katanas sometimes break when the skill is used. Plus the damage is based on magic power so draw out is crappy on a physical-attack based character.

Increasing a character's Faith works wonders on improving the strength of the Draw Out, so even if it's a physical-based character you can still do decent damage with it.

[Dark Falken]

Ahhh!! That explains it. So I guess I'll have Ramza use 'Martial Arts', fight with his fists and utilize the 'Draw Out' skills along with the 'Punch Art' skills. I like to role play, so I won't necessarily pick the best jobs or skills.... Thanks for the help. Guess I've gotta go find that town that sold all the Katanas.... Grrr.. :)

Dorter trade city and wakijus (or something) trade city sell them I think theres one or two more but im not sure

Yeah, I feel that the samurai's draw out abilities aren't too good. But I think the Samurai's reaction abilities rule. Meatbone Slash is okay if you like to take hits, Blade Grasp is awesome if you like winning. Raise your brave to like 90 and the enemies will rarely hit you.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I have to disagree with the Samurai abilities not being good. I've found them to be VERY effective on high faith characters, capable of taking down entire groups of enemies in one draw out.

[Eternal Dark Night]

yah your right but uh well i tried putting two swords on the abillitie list worked like a charm but meat bone slash is only good well temperailly my samuria ends up killing every buddy with its high HP some abillitie fricken sucks man!

[Aurora_sword]

well it isn't the best skill in the game

[Eternal Dark Night]

well it isn't the best skill in the game
yah but well since u have to go farther i would expect alot more for this job but its allright not the best though.

[Elmdor]

the only thing I don't like about Samurais and their Draw Out skill is the fact of the rarity of their last two weapons (Masamune must be stolen from Elmdor, so there's only one and there's no point in using the Draw Out on it... And the last one you must poach it from a monster... I don't remember exactly)
also... they're not the best melee guys, so I always master it to turn the character in a Ninja (and use Draw Out as Second Skill for aiding purposes)
cya

[eestlinc]

all the trade cities sell katanas.

yes Samurai have the best MA of all physical classes, but it's not that useful to slap Draw Out on your knight.

The whole thread was good reading. I'm just getting the hang of draw out myself. So you're saying I can maximize the potential on this ability if my brave and faith are up? How can you permanently raise faith/ Which skill is that?

How can you permanently raise faith/ Which skill is that?

-PJ
To raise faith, use the mediator skill 'Preach'. It will raise faith by 4 pts. temporarily, 1 pt. permenently. So, yeah :rolleyes2 , you have to preach to someone several times to make a noticeable change in faith.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Bear in mind if a character has 95 Faith and isn't Ramza they'll leave forever.

I only make special units smaurais the samurai sprite annoys me its like a bar suit with a red hat x.x Even though draw out skills are cool and deal decent to powerful damage
