your going to want to avoid, because they seem like good deals, but they don’t really do anything, or you never really use them, or you use them so little that the ones you find in the chest through out the game will be enough, and so on. Now obviously I can’t tell you what to buy and what not to buy, your going to have to choose based on your own experience and style of play what your going to need to keep your party members alive. But use this to gauge based on your style of game play. Do you run through dungeons, or fight all of the monsters and heal little by little as you go? Next, when you are fighting monsters if one of your party is fainted, do you use an item to revive them during the fight, or just wait for it to end and then do it? Third, make sure your not buying things you already have and just don’t realize. If you use a lot of magic, don’t buy holy water, buy star lights! Easy enough. Now this is a little easier than telling what not to buy, because If I tell you not to, and you need it, I look pretty silly. But in this case there are some basic skills to buying you should know. First of all, if your in a town with multiple shops (or street vendors as well in some cases) look at them all and make sure your not getting ripped off. All of the basic items (herbs etc.) will usually be the same price everywhere, but weapons and armor may vary. Personally I do not like to buy herbs, they are not very much for what you pay for. Healing nuts are more expensive, but you get A LOT more HP out of them, and many times while fighting a boss, a herb won’t give enough back, and you’ll only end up getting fainted and waste a herb at the same time. So in the beginning of the game they’re fine, but eventually you need to graduate towards healing nuts. Star lights are very expensive, and I am happy to say I completed the regular game without ever buying one from a shop. You should be able to find enough of these through the game, that you won’t have to buy them. Weapons and armor are always nice, but they can also be very expensive, try buying only the ones that are going to make a large increase in the stats, and if they don’t just wait till the next town, they will have a different selection. • Items are always going to play a large role in any RPG, but in this game they are a major key to success. Some people argue that you don’t need them to heal, because characters like Ronfar can simply use his magic to do it. Well, for all of you narrow minded players out there, what happens when Ronfar runs out of MP? Ah... so you see if you had just stopped being lazy and taken the time to buy items, you would have star lights to replenish his MP. • Items are not just things like star lights or herbs that are going to heal your party, they can also be things vital to the game and its story line. For instance, Lucia’s pendant is an item, and in the epilogue its almost a must. All of the Dragon Aura’s are items, and the game could not be completed without them. So you see there are lots of items that aren’t you everyday stuff, so next time your going by a treasure chest in a place and don’t feel like fighting the extra monster to get to it, think to yourself, “How far through the dungeon am I, can I go without healing until right before I fight the boss of it, and if I don’t heal, is it going to take an act of god to beat the boss?” Depending on your answers to those questions, go for the chest or not. -= LEGAL INFORMATION =- This guide is the property of the author and may not be reproduced in any way shape or form without the permission of the author.
