That ominus bazzar item!

[idrumgood]

For a while now, this grimiore or something has been for sale in the bazzar for 18000 gil. I have that money now, but what the hell is it? the guide says nothing about it. Is it just for reading, or does it give you soemthing?

Anyone know?

Thanks

[Cruise Control]

I have the same question.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Save the game.
Buy it.
If it's rad, continue.
If it is not in fact radical, reset, reload.

[idrumgood]

I'll do that now and update with my findings.

You receive the Hunter's Monograph. It appears from the descritption that once you purchase this, you receive better loot from mob drops.

Wonder if it's worth it...

(Note: I had to go back a save point (I alternate save slots so i can always back track one) to grab this. I'm currently at King Raithler's Tomb So I can't really go back...

Let me know if anyone else has experienced good results from this.

[Cruise Control]

Dude, if its for loot. BUY IT. If so, it would serously enhance income, paying itself off soon.

[Goldenboko]

I too wondered what it was. I bought it and let me tell you it already paid off. Enemies that where only dropping one item dropped two, items are dropped with much more regularity, and during one chain it got me 6 iron helms.

[Ichimonji]

It's definitely worth it. Buy Grimoires as soon as you can afford them. It'll make getting gil in the future a lot easier. However each Grimoire only gives you better loot from two kinds of species. For instance, the one for 18,000 provides better loot from Beasts and flying cretures.

[Croyles]

Yeah monographs are really useful.
There should be around a total of 6 Monographs for all different enemy types. The way they appear in the bazaar varies, from talking to a certain type of shop owner like over 50 times to reading the Hunt billboard over 40 times etc.

How far are u into the game?? i want this bazzar... im at [SPOILER]im at the eruyt village

[idrumgood]

I'm currently just leaving the JAhara-land of the Garif but the item appeared in the bazaar pretty early on in the game.

[skillzboy4]

Yeah i was wondering that because in Eruyt u cant buy it, do u know what town it was??

[Goldenboko]

You need to do the first monster hunt You fight some huge mutant wolf, then talk to the guy who employed you at his shop in the bazaar and you'll be able to purchase it. It costs 18,000 Gil.

[skillzboy4]

hmm something seems wrong the guy gatsly who employs the fighting isnt giving me the mark?? is it cz i skipped so far?

[Goldenboko]

You killed the thing right? Once you do that talk to him and tell him you killed it go to the bazaar talk to him and he'll tell you he added an item to the bazaar. Go to the nearest shop and you'll see it was added to the bazaar list.

[skillzboy4]

ohh i see thanks i thought u had to speak to him first to kill the monster ty

[Goldenboko]

Well you do, you look at the board, accept it, talk to him, kill the monster, and talk to him twice more, I was under the impression you already killed it.

[six underground]

i saved the game, bought it, looked at it, liked it:) but so far i haven't seen any really great loot from the wolves in the estersand. are wolves beasts?

[Elfen]

I forgot what Wolves is categorized at.
But you can check at the Clan-Primer > Bestiary > Wolves.
Below there are informations your needed.

By having those Grimoire in your inventory do improve the drop rate of the loot.
Common Loot becomes even common.
Rare Loot have higher percentage to drop.

Well you do, you look at the board, accept it, talk to him, kill the monster, and talk to him twice more, I was under the impression you already killed it.


Thanks i finally got the item i never looked at the board it took me forever to find.

Does anyone know how to get the rest of the Monographs?

[Ichimonji]

You have to visit weapon/armour shops, and visit the Hunt Board a certain amount of times for more to become available to you. Like for the Grimoire for 19,000, you have to visit a weapon's shop thirty times.

Does anyone know how to get the rest of the Monographs?
