WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THAT "TROPICAL ISLAND" /= "DEIST"
I spent hours grinding in order to level up enough to finish that "unusually difficult" dungeon and did I get a dragoon for my troubles? No. ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID BLACK MASK.
... and then I found Deist.
Expect much capslocking in the next comic update when I get all my screencaps sorted out. This is so *not win.*![]()
Tropical Island was indeed easy:
I'm sure I've fought these rhinos around Mysidia town :/
Black mask ftw!
So uhh, here's my team:
Time to do something now, dunno what it is. Hilda's probably gone missing again.
I found the Crystal Rod. Now it's time to find Mindu.

Crystal Rod represent!
Mysidia Cavern was annoying as hell.
Also, I'd like to know what everyone's spell levels are on and what level is recommended for where I am, thanks.
If anyone is looking for the Goblin Prince to complete their bestiary, I just ran into two in a large party of green goblins (goblin guard I think they're called), and they're called DesAngel in the nes fanslation for some reason xD I assume it's the same beast because the sprite colors are identicalwhite and blue. Anyways, you don't have to be inside kashuon castle, the plains to the west was where I ran into these.
I'm not sure what the recommended spell levels are at this point but mine are:
Firion
Cure 6
Fire 4
Ice 3
Bolt 2
Gus
Cure 2
Bolt 3
Fire 5
Ice 3
Maria
Fire 5
Ice 3
Cure 2
Bolt 3
Leila
Bolt 4
Cure 2
Fire 4
Everything else is at either 1 or in between 1 and 2.

That looks wonderful leeza. you can tell your spells are good if you don't have to use them too many times in a single battle!
Mine are
Frioniel: Maria: Guy: Gordon:
cure-4 cure-4 cure-4 cure-4
fire-4 fire-4 fire-4
bolt-3 ice-3 ice-2
life-1 life-1 exit-1
heal-1 heal-3
change-1 change-2
shell-1
safe-1
blink-2
blind-1
Would you guys believe that gordon and guy have the most MP of anyone?
Other stats:
Frioniel has a shield equipped (diamond), his evasion is 2-73%. Guy also has a shield equipped (gold). His evasion is 3-38%. maria does not have a shield equipped and never has. She does have gold armor on (being in the back row). Her evasion is 1-00%. Gordon had a shield equipped for about two weapon levels and his evasion is 1-23%. The lesson learned? Always equip your shields when you can. And don't equip armor when you don't need it.
I don't equip shields, I prefer to rely on sheer attack power. It is also true that my stats work different in the PSP version, though.
In this game, Evasion > Defense. However you can still get away with decent Defense whilst retaining your Evasion. Some of the least evasion reducing armours are as follows;
All Shields
Copper Cuirass
Silver Cuirass
Ruby Cuirass
Gold Cuirass
Diamond Cuirass
White/Black Robe
Power Vest
Black Garb*
Mythril Helm
Giant's Helm
Twist Headband
Gold Hairpin
Ribbon
Thief's Gloves*
Protection Ring
Power Armlet
Items tagged with * will actually increase your Evasion, provided your Agility hasn't capped at 99 yet. Everything else will only reduce your Evasion by 0~5%. Really you shouldn't have to use anything but the armours given above unless your Agility is already high enough to break the 99% cap whilst still equipping the heavier armours.
There is no signature here. Move along.
I've unlocked the Jade passage and cleaned it out of treasure and bosses. I went just far enough into Pandemonium to get a single treasure and unlock the collections data on it.
Looks like I have 9 treasure chests left to go. I think it's time I start stocking up on Elixirs (Ethers take up a large amount of inventory). I expect I'll need to do two more trips through Pandemonium.
Do you need to beat the game to get 100% on Items, Bestiary, and Art collections?
On another note, the Quicksave function is a lifesaver in this game. I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to play through the final dungeon without it.

The first time through the Mysidian Tower I was defeated by a gang of Imps! Poor Gareth was Muddled so much that he ended up killing everyone in the party. I finally get to Ultima and I get this:
Eventually I get back to Fynn and reunite Gareth and the Wind Drake.
We spend some last minutes with Cid after defeating the Emperor in the Cyclone. Now it's off to Paramekia.

I recovered the Crystal Rod and went through Leviathan, and now I'm climbing the Mysidia Tower. Can anyone tell me how far I am from the end of the game? There's only 8 days left and I need to know if I am to finish in time. No spoilers please![]()
You have about 1/4 left to go.
Good, I went all the way up the tower, Minwu kicked the bucket (did he really have to in such a stupid way? =_=) and I need to go back to Fynn and check the Yoshi egg and whatnot.
