    1. No special way to do this, except sandals carries the dirt easier than normal shoes.

    2. A cloth will probably do fine, or a t-shirt. It's probably best to try and run in and get it without breathing at all, though. If that's possible. Otherwise, there's always possible to buy a mask off eBay, but I guess the gas would be gone by the time you got it.

    3. Try over and over again till you master it. There's just some things you don't learn by reading books.

    5. Lift your right arm up above your. Then curl it forwards. Use your arm and shoulder to roll on.

    Well, the point is to not put all the weight on the neck, and to roll as quickly as possible at the same time. The palm of your right hand should not touch the ground, form your hand like a half circle, also place your entire arm like half circle. The point is to put the weight on the arm, and then push the weight over to your shoulder. That's for forwards roll anyway, I don't know any good techniques for sideways and backways. Learned it from a friend who does Tae Kwon Do.

    This isn't an answer, but it's helpful: Don't you think you'd be better off asking this type of stuff at a martial arts forum than a Final Fantasy forum?

    From the final fantasy point of view, the fastest easiest way is to infuse yourself with Mako and try to kill as much as monsters as possible to level up.

    Don't forget to carry armor and weapons with abilities. And don't overload on materia.

    WTF? Are you trying to be a ninja or something? Because it sure sounds like it.

    1. If you're on loose dirt or dust, kicking your foot into the ground, digging in, and kicking up might work. In the same fashion that you would kick some sand in someone's face. Might not be too practical though.

    2. I'd probably go for a face mask like doctors wear, with some cloth over it as well. And try not to breath in if you can.

    3. You need to be quick and have strong legs for this. Also, good grip on your shoes helps alot. But just trying it out over and over until you can do it.

    4. All I can think of is to step as lightly as possible, probably using the ball of your feet too.

    5. Put your arm up over your head almost as if you were going to block something that is about to fall on it, and partway through the roll, shift the weight to your shoulder.

    7. (what happened to 6?) Just go here. They sell them cheap. http://www.karate-mart.com/ninshokhancl.html

    Actually, a proper ninja in Final Fantasy would probably harness their HATRED, channeling that into their power and unleash it on their foes.

    That aside, the best way to move stealthily is moving slowly. I'm not talking about a slow walk that takes an extra minute to endure, but rather only moving once every several minutes, in irregular intervals. If you are traveling through wooded areas where there are plenty of leaves and branches, that's the best way to sneak around; any regular snapping, crunching, or sounds of the ground being disturbed are easily interperted into the sound of footsteps. Soft-soled shoes also help deaden noise when walking in general, socks even better, but neither will ever completely kill noise when traversing over dead leaves, bubble wrap, and so on. The only solution there would to not put your weight in your feet as you walk, and that's impossible. So, when walking in a forest where there is mast covering the ground, always take your time considering your next step; choose ground that will yield the smallest amount of sound. Æ¿æƒ2 makes a good point too, which I had forgotten to mention: move on the balls of your feet only; less area contacting ground usually results in less sound, and you're not having your heel come down and grind any twigs underfoot.

    The ball of your foot starts at the front end of your arch and extends towards the beginning of your toes.

    And if you really want to make the shuko, google is your friend. I really think you would be better suited asking all of these questions in another forum, or just using google or wikipedia.
