actually for bazaar items, it doesnt matter when you sell them... only that you sell them...

game keeps track of how many of each "loot" item you've sold, not when you sell it...

[Helpoemer]

i've always sold em at the same time just to be safe ¬_¬

[Elcura]

On the subject of fighting really big hard (or hardest) bosses, wasn't the point to kill them for bragging rights only? I mean what's there left to kill after killing the hardest thing in the game? What item could the hardest thing drop to satisfy you?

I always thought the best way to reward people for killing the hardest optional boss in a game was to let it trigger a script that would make the final boss as hard / harder, and then let you get some kind of special ending, since usually the problem with insanely hard optional bosses is that it makes the final boss really anticlimactic. You know, if someone is going to go through the effort to get insanely powerful characters, at least give them a challenge at the end to satisfy them.

SO2 was the only game with challenging optional bosses and a hard final boss fight (with limiter off). although it wasn't triggered the way you said it was still a challenge.

anyway, I wholeheartedly agree with what you said, I really wish that they did something like that...

I don't get it, why not let them sell it early. I know its a big release, blah blah blah.. but you know the employees w/ preorders will have been playing it for a week, so game companies should just set the release date the same as the ship date.

Not all shipping times are the same. If it ships from the SE warehouse in CA but you're in WA then wouldn't you get pissed off that those ppl in CA are playing while you're still waiting for UPS to drive its ass across the country?

XI has kinda desensitized me to killing big things and getting disappointing drops

here's an awesome tip for those of you starting out and want a powerful weapon early on in the game but first you need to get the Barheim Passage Key by doing a quest:

- Clear Flower Saboten and Nidhog Mob Hunt missions (rank E), so you should
have Python's Scaled Skin.
- After got your reward of Flower Saboten mission from Dantro (your client),
talk to him again.
- Now go to South of Nebra River where you can find the Dalmasca Eastersand
Gate Crystal. Talk to Dantro's wife to get Thousand Needles (treasure).
- Leave and return this area, talk to the people near the river and the boy
named Chiguri, then choose first option in the dialogue to go North of
Nebra River.
- Talk to Chiguri for some events, then will back to South site.
- Now speak with Dantro's wife again, then search behind her camp for the
red flower, examine it, a flower saboten will follow you.
- Speak with the boy, Chiguri to go North site again.
- Get close to the giant flower saboten, watch a scene.

- Now back to South of Nebra River and talk to Dantro's Wife.
- Search the left side near the river can see a shinning thing there, check it
to pick up the Sem Shell. Pass it to Dantro's wife.
- Return to the small camp section and talk to Dantro again. Same place, find
the boxes in the central, check the jars there for Nebrarin, pass it to
Dantro's Wife also.
- Move to Northern most section of Dalmasca Eastersand, find the flowers in
the valley. One of them is in the middle of the section, beside the rock
which you can push down. Examine it to get The Drip Of Valley Flower.
- Back to South of River and talk to Dantro's Wife, also pass the
Python's Scaled Skin to her.
- Leave here for awhile and return, talk to the Traveller Under Recovery,
she's behind the house where Dantro's Wife is, she will give you Barheim Key.

From the Dalmasca Eastersand Gate Crystal, go South, then turn to South-East,
there is a small area, use your Barheim Key to unlock that door to enter Barheim Passage.


Now, go to the small area on the map with the Gate Crystal and save, from there go to the south (Great Central Passage), then west and take the LOWER path to the "Special Op Sector 5" area, in this area are pretty high lvl monsters at this point, but you don't need to fight them so flee past them all and past the turtle there is a rock next to the rail tracks, near this rock is usually one of those frog monsters. Behind this rock there is a chance for a SILVER chest to be there with a purple center, careful cos this is a Rare Monster, but it's the one we want for our weapon. If it's not there, just zone back to Great Central Passage and go to the upper path (East-West Bypass) to the west, then enter back into Special Op Sector 5 and keep doing this till it shows up.

Now, you should have been fleeing past the other monsters to get here, briefly let go of flee to pop the chest to make the Rare Monster appear, flee and take it to the zone where you came from (the Rare Monster won't stop following you, but the other monsters will).
heal yourself from the damage and go back in, the Rare Monster will still be near the zone line and this is when we get our weapon.
Set all your characters to STEAL STEAL STEAL, eventually you will get the Deathbringer (1h Sword 90ATK On Hit: Death).
This is an amazing weapon for this early in the game, and i recommend getting at least 3 for your most regularly played characters. to get more than one just zone to the upper path then go back to the lower path with the Rare Monster.
i was around lvl 25 when i got this weapon, if you want to spend time like i did getting 16 for money at this point lol. they sell for about 8000.

any questions feel free to ask ^^;

[Resin]
