Thanks again everyone for the answers and I'll gladly take yours now.Originally Posted by Zeromus_X
Yeah, I made a couple from Synthesis.
Update: I just discovered that Firaga can bounce off all of the orbs of darkness! Huzzah! He just summons more though...*sigh*...
As for how to make an Elixir, you need 2 Mythril Stones, 1 Dark Stone, and 1 Power Stone.
I also want to know this: How do Forms gain exp? I know they gain exp by killing Heartless and Nobodies, but I'll kill a bunch of Heartless with Final Form, and I don't gain any, but I'll gain exp with killing Nobodies. And it seems to be different for each form. Does anyone know the specifics of each form?
How to level up the various Forms
Valor
You get experience based on strikes by the blades. It doesn't matter how many Heartless or Nobodies you kill, just strikes by the blades. I say just go to a populated area of easy Heartless, and just run into the group striking.
Wisdom
You gai experience for this based on how many Heartless you kill. The more Heartless, the more experience obviously. I recommend an area where you get back at a distance and range, without interference. Again, preferably weak Heartless, as it doesn't matter how big or strong they are, as exp is exp. I go for Shadows for maximum success.
Master
You get experience for this based on the number of Drive orbs you get. (The gold little orbs) The best strategy for this I'd say is training it in Radiant Garden at the end of the game. I'll tell you why further down.
Final
You get experience for this based on how many Nobodies you kill. This can be annoying, as there are relatively few areas in the game with a large amount of Nobodies appearing at the same, which is easier than running through screens getting more. Again, check out my strategy below for this.
My strategy for all these
Alright, before we get started, som may see my way as cheap and not very sportsman-like, but to be honest, I wanted these Growth abilities now and I wasn't going to spend forever getting my drives up when I could do it this way. So, in case you don't already know, this is the Drive trick...
When you're in any form, hurry up and do whatever you have to do to gain exp for the form you want and get back to a Save Point BEFORE the form ends. Once you get to the Save Point, while still in the form, go to World Select. Of course, you'll be on the World Selection screen next, but pick any world and land. Ta-da. Your drive bar will be filled to the maximum, enabling you to go all-out and train the form again without worry. Now, as implied, you can do this all you want to gain whatever form mastery you want. Land, Form, Train, Save Point>World Selection, Land. Repet as necessary and you'll have mastery of any form in no time.
Strategy for Valor
I recommend any place with lots of enemies for this, as you just need strikes. Preferably an area close to a Save Point for obvious reasons. I trained right outside Merlin's in Radiant Garden.
Strategy for Wisdom
Haven't worked this out yet, as I haven't got to it. I'd just say an area close to a SP, and has lots of easy Heartless.
Strategy for Master
Train outside Merlin's in Radiant Garden. You'll gain lots of Drive orbs from the enemies. Be sure to fight the enemies right outside his door, then proceed to the enemies by the entrance to the Marketplace. After they're defeated, depending on how much your gauge has left, try to take out the few enemies before the stairs to the Bailey. Then head for Merlin's asap. Once you get higher gauges, it is possible to take down all the enemies in this area if you're fast enough.
Strategy for Final
This one is a bit more interesting, as I'm still testing which areas are good. Nobodies are difficult to fight successively in this case, as there isn't too many areas where a large amount appears at once, that's near a SP. My best bet so far is use the Brink of Despair SP as base and go into the next area, taking down the enemies there. Make sure you go north, not south of BoD, as that brings you to the Heartless.
Final note
Jackpot may not help increase Drive orb frequency, but I used it and Draw for Master, assuring the capturing of all Drive orbs.
