i think that you can pick up 4 slots of defence armors from Wantz in Macalania forest. i think that you should have a differant armor for everytpye of battle(whoops, thats a type-o,lol. oh anyway like i was saying i think you should have a armor with none encounter, an armor with status elements for enemys like malboro. a armor with things like ice eater, fire eater,ect for things like seymore. you should have a armor with HP Break of cause, and an armor with lots of auto abilitie such as auto haste, auto life, auto protect ect. and an armor with lots of defence such as defence+20% and magic+20% and so on and so on and so on and so on and...SLAP...oh thanks for that.....anyway again one more thing you should always have an armor with ininitive on so if you encounter any monster like malboro or great malboro then you can always flee or put on a status element armor.

hope that helped. i think ive answered both of your questions well enough. also you should make your questions smaller so that more people will answer them. i bet that you probably don't even get 5 replies because you asked for a lot of answers in that question.

horrah im finally answered a question 1st for once(before anyone else)

hope that helped again and sorry i do babble on a lot.

bye

just gotta love dem damn chocobos
