That's impossible. Bartz is forced to fight some fixed battles at the start which puts him on level 2, and Faris joins the party on level 3. I heard the record was level 9

I think the item combo his chemist uses is possibley a level increasing attack...

In the battle with Halcyanos he using it to significantly raise faris's attack which made me think it was aimed at increasing physical strength. But in the final battle with Neo X-death he again uses it on Faris but Faris then uses $toss which does 9999 damage. I'm pretty sure $toss does damage based on your level.

that level 2 old + lvl5 death is ingenius! wont use it because its cheap and i barely ever use Blue mages. ive done some pretty good job combos but ive never heard of that one (hint: when you get the beseker job, give him the double hand ability. i used this on a second playthrough and near the start of the game it did more damage to ifrit than a level 2 ice spell did.)

Plus Dark shock. Using Dark shock + level 5 Doom is a handy trick on quite a few bosses (Atamos, Ramuh and Gilgamesh at least)
