    Default A Few Tips You probably All Know...

    I'm only at the end of World 2 but...

    World 1:

    Fight Wild Dogs in the forest next to Karnak for 625 odd GP each!
    Get a rod wielding job and fight the things in the desert south of Karnak (quadhapys?) and break an Ice Rod to win loads of EXP
    Around Crescent Island fight 5 Black Flames in a group for a lot of GP/EXP
    NEVER waste too many rods or skills on rendom battles, you'll find you're very lack, look at my example.

    After desert:Fire Skill 50
    Water Skill 23
    Thunder Skill 50

    Just be careful

    World 2:

    Use softs on teh Rock Statues iin Galuf's basement for 4-8 ABP

    You already know, don't you?

    Another good place for AP in the first world is the Skull Eaters in the Lonka Cave. 5 AP a battle, I think. Certainly decent for the first world. A Bio or Throw should dispose of them.

    And, the final levels of the Void are unquestionable for massive AP and Gil.

    Bio isn't available in world one. And jacole cave is the cave you mean with skull eaters. They can also be defeated very easily with Blowfish which you can learn in the ronka ruins by the lamia's. Skull eaters drop elixers occasionally too.

    The best tip i can think of is for world one in the karnak escape mission. Gigas appear very often in there and its very very easy to steal from them (first time usually) they carry elixers as a basic steal so you can leave there with 20-25 elixers easy

    the best place to train up is in the forest near easterly village. you occasionally find groups of mini dragons in 5's or 6's and they drop a load of gil and after the fight everone gets about 1250 EXP. the black flames are also good and a bit easier.

    Hello, I was browsing this forum for some time, but i just decided to write my first post here . Best place for exp/AP in world 1 is southern island, where you can find Prototype. He will give you 500 EXP for each alive character and 5AP. In 2nd world, go to castle with sealed weapons, where you can find Zombie Dragon. He will grant you with 2500 Exp (!! - highest amount in the game - same as Iron Man) for everyone and 5AP. To beat them, just use !control and cast Explosion on Prototype and Flame on Dragon to finish them easily.

    note on the dragons in the seal castle-- Do it in world two because in world three there will be other encounters in there that aren't nearly as useful for you.

    you can steal elixers from zuu's just to the right of whatever the fire crystal castle was called. very usefull later for fighting magic pots and gaining craploads of ap.

    It's so hard to steal from them when you first reach there. I tried once after just reaching karnak and i gave up after i tried to steal 50+ tries and failed

    Hey, there's no need to be mean. I mean, *I* didn't know you could steal elixirs from zuus, but it doesn't make much difference to me since they're a lot easier to get from skull eaters

    ok, if u didnt like that one how about this, you can get an item called the magic lamp that summons all the summon creatures from most powerfull to least powerfull without using any mp (every time you use it a different one comes) you can get it by taking your chocobo to the top of esaterly falls in world three, then walk into the falls and press your action button. very useful item.

    That's what I did in the second world. I was leveling up with the help of the Zombie Dragons so much that by the time I left the castle, I was on levels high enough to beat the game. Too bad the trick doesn't work as well in the 3rd world since there will be other enemies in that castle too, such as Exdeath's souls, and they're not especially easy, either.
