I have 3 Master summon/cmd/magic materia, I got 1 set from Emerald, and the rest I got from battling outside of Mideel cause I didn't know about the movers/magic pots. So, if you don't want to go there, go to Mideel. You get alot of exp there, too. I maxed my levels there.
Geez. That had to've taken a long time to get the other two master summon materia given the AP needed to master KotR...especially without pots/movers.Quote:

whats the glitch to max out ur elixers??Quote:

Also, having Cloud's Apocalypse doesn't hurt, and Cid has a double AP weaopn with five slots....and rune armlets, bring a few of those. you'll have a set of master magic and master command materias before you know it.
You'll need to equip a W-Item materia (available only when you return to Midgar late in the game).
Select the item you want to duplicate, then select a second item but don't actually use go through with using them.
Instead toggle back and forth between selecting and deselecting the second item.
It should increase the number of items in your inventory.
It's perfect for maximizing hard-to-get items like Vagrisk Claws and Earth Mallets.
Practice with Potions until you get the hang of it. :p
Near midel, look for the head-hunters. They´re really easy to kill and give you a significant amount of AP.
First of all, you CAN exit the Northern Crater, at least in the American / European releases. :p
There is a big cave entrance at the top of the Crater, from where you can exit and climb the mountain side to the right.
This is my personal strategy:
CLOUD:
Apocalypse
Rune Armlet
Ribbon
CID:
Scimitar
Rune Armlet
Ribbon
YUFFIE:
Rising Sun
Rune Armlet
Ribbon
This is THE equipment you want, because it's the strongest equipment that got the Double and Triple Growth. :D
With this equipment, mastering Materia will be a breeze.
Oh, and keep a look-out for the Movers; they give 800 AP each, and always come in groups of three. :thumb:
One could argue that Cid's Javelin is better than his Scimitar. Javelin is 5x2 (10) whereas Scimitar is 2x3 (6). 10 > 6, so the Javelin gains more AP overall. However, if you just need to focus on two materia, then the Scimitar would be better.
I usually go to the under water sunken submarine thing into the hall where you fight unknwon 1,2, and 3 plus the serphant.
mideel, fight the headhunters. They give you 320AP, because they always come in 3 or 4.
