just kill 26 then run out to the zone of the plains (just past the little glade with the save point) then go back in, repop

[Ohemgee]

oh

[Eaglestrike]

I'll ask this here, hopefully it wasn't answered prior.

What effects spell duration? I had the same gear setup on all 3 characters, had Vaan cast Float, Basch lost it quite a bit earlier than Vaan or Ashe did. Is it VIT? Magick power? Will the duration be longer as I finish lvling up? (I'm 66-67atm) and will increased magick power on the caster make spells last longer, too?

[DeadLegend]

No idea but I never noticed anybody's wearing off a long time before anyone else's except Reddas.

I've heard Magic Power vs Magic resist can effect things like Decoy and Reverse when cast on a teammate which makes sense I guess since the description makes it sound like a spell to use against an enemy.

Where do i get the Snakeskin for Tournesel? i've searched the Entire Dry Giza Plain, and there aren't any snakes.

Edit: Nvm, found it. I could only find one spawn in the entire area... It's in the West middle area, in the SW part of it, by 2 big bird thingys.

Probably Magick Power, and the Magick Potency squares on the License board, after i maxed those out with my 2 casters, i noticed it very easy to stick Decoy on the tank, when before i had to recast it like 3-5 times every time.

You get an MP bonus whenever you assign a new Esper to someone? Only got the first 3.

Its like quickenings.
1 Quickening/Esper- No MP change. Mp is multiplied 1x.
2 Quickening/Esper- MP doubles, MP is multiplied x2
3 Quickening/Esper- MP triples, Mp is multiplied x3, caps out at x3.

[Ohemgee]

Ah ok, I was wondering since I have 511 MP with Vaan at 46.

All 3 Quicks and Belias.

taken from that dudes gamefaq thread

edit: pretty sure Montblanc gives you 1 jade steel, helpoemer probably knows if there are more.

[Mala]

Anyone have any idea what "wireds" are? ive scoured the deadlands looking and have yet to see one.

[Dion]

same i have no idea

[Cayos]

Hihi Irokane is supposed to be called Scarletite

The "Wired" Mobs are actually Leynir in the area north of the Gate Crystal, They drop Wargod Bands.

Soul of Spirit Emporer is actually "Empyreal Soul"

That's all I could find, i'll post again if I find more.

My guess is that all of this information came from the Japanese Version of the game.

Edit: Got a Gemsteel(Jadesteel?) for haveing 8 Espers from Montblanc

[Falconblade]

and Marquis is mispronounced, no?

[DeadLegend]

lol
I hated that, but I figured it was part of the game world like "Manufacted" instead of "manufactured"

[Ohemgee]

Yeah I was wondering about the voice-acting for a moment there.

Mahr Keys is how I say it :\

[DeadLegend]

I always pronounced magicite as Magic-ite not magi-site :(

[blister1]

I'll ask again since it wasnt answered in the other thread, what is up with Mirror Mail?

I got one off the birds in Feywood, put it on Basche and ran through Henne Mines and Golmore and EVERYTHING hit for 0's on regular attacks, only thing that did damage was "special attacks" Elder Wyrm also hit for 0's and double digits regularly. I took it off and same mobs started whacking me again. I'm only 36, so these mobs arent that low to have the dmg completely negated.

Reflect sucks, but I use it on my main 3 when I'm running around avoiding aggro, fun seeing a herd of 8 bats along with Ixtab running after Basche and 0's popping up.
