FFX - Celestial Weapons

In Final Fantasy X, you need to collect the weapon itself, and a crest, and a sigil.  You'll then need to treat them with the Celestial Mirror to actually make them useful.

Celestial Mirror

You'll win the Cloudy Mirror in the Chocobo Race at Remiem Temple, for finishing first, with no treasure chests opened.

Take it into Macalania Woods, and speak to the mother and child.  Find the father near where you camped, and then talk to the couple.  You'll find the son on the crystal path which goes above the woods.  When you examine the crystal he was looking at, the Cloudy Mirror will become the Celestial Mirror.  You'll need to come back here when you've collected everything.

Tidus

Weapon - In the Calm Lands, beat the chocobo trainer's time to pull the guard away from the crevice in the north-west.  You can grab the sword if you're in possession of the mirror.  Don't try it before then, or you'll have the beat the stupid game twice.

Sigil - Beat the stupid Catcher Chocobo game with a total time under 0:00 seconds.

Sun Crest - In the Zanarkand Dome.

Yuna

Weapon - capture one of every monster in the Calm Lands and you'll get it from the owner of the Arena.

Sigil - Defeat all of Belgemine's aeons and send her to the Farplane.

Auron

Weapon - you'll find the rusty sword near the entrance to the sunken cave.  Take it to the statue of Lord Mi'ihen on Mushroom Rock Road.

Sigil - Generate ten creatures in the monster arena.

Crest - Oldroad South.

Wakka

Weapon - from the owner of the cafe in Luca after either 100 Blitzball victories or placing higher than third in a league or tournament.

Sigil - Offered as a Blitzball prize after winning the Attack Reels, Status Reels, and Aurochs reels.  You'll need to have fought a total of 450 battles by this point.

Final Fantasy VIII - Weapons

In Final Fantasy VIII you upgrade character's weapons by taking the right items and gil to a tool shop.  Each character has at least three upgrades, and you can skip right to the final one if you like, without passing through the inbetween steps.  Squall's limit breaks are linked to his weapons, but, again, you can skip right to the last weapon and get all the limits inbetween automatically.

Throughout the game, you'll find various Weapon Monthly magazines, which will detail the items needed for the upgrades.  You don't need to have the magazines on hand to upgrade the weapons.

You'll find the magazines in the following locations;

Issue	Location
March	Automatically.
April	Squall's desk, when he has a single room at Balamb Garden.
May	Deling sewers.
June	automatically.
July	Training centre, disc 3, left side.
August	Five steps south of Trabia Garden's gargoyle statue.
1st	Found by Laguna in the Esthar lab.

The character's best weapons and the items required are as follows;

Character	Weapon	Requires
Squall	Lionheart	Adamantine x 1 Dragon Fang x 4 Pulse Ammo x 12
Quistis	Save the Queen	Malboro Tentacle x 2 Sharp Spike x 4 Energy Crystal x 4
Zell	Ehrgeiz	Adamantine x 1 Dragon Skin x 4 Fury Fragment x1
Selphie	Strange Vision	Adamantine x 1 Star Fragment x 3 Curse Spike x 2
Rinoa	Shooting Star	Windmill x 2 Force Armlet x 1 Energy Crystal x 2
Irvine	Exeter	Dino Bone x 2 Moon Stone x 1 Star Fragment x 2 Screw x 18

...which gives you the following shopping list.

Item	Where?
Adamantine x 3	Mug (1) from BGH251F2 (boss) at FH. Dropped by Adamantoise at level 30 plus (Haspberry Plains beach, near Timber) Card Mod: Minotaur = 10 Adamantines.
Curse Spike x 2	Dropped by high level Creeps (Deling City Sewers). Card Mod: Tri-Face (Galbadia Garden).
Dino Bone x 2	Dropped by low-level T-Rexaurs (Balamb Forests, Training Centre) Card Mod: 2 T-Rexaurs = 1 Dino Bone
Dragon Fang x 4	Dropped by Blue Dragons (Near Trabia, in the Forests) Dropped by T-Rexaurs (level 20-29).
Dragon Skin x 4	Dropped by Anacondaurs at level 30+
Energy Crystal x 4	Card Mod: 10 Elnoyle = 1 Energy Crystal, or dropped by Elnyoles over level 30.
Force Armlet x 1	Won from Edea on Disc 2, as long as you don't mug. Can be bought from RinRin's shop in Esthar if you have Tonberries Familiar ability. Rare drop from high level Ochus.
Fury Fragment x 1	Card Mod: 4 Blue Dragon = 1 Fury Fragment
Malboro Tentacle x 2	Card Mod: 4 Malboros card = 1 Malboro Tentacle
Moon Stone	Dropped by Elnoyles, Imps, and Toramas in Esthar.
Pulse Ammo x 12	Ammo-RF: 1 Energy Crystal = 10 Pulse Ammo, or 1 Laser Cannon = 5 Pulse Ammo.  Laser Cannons are dropped by Elastoids over level 20, which can be found in Centra, during the Laguna sequence.
Screw x 18	Dropped by Geezards (near Timber and Galbadia) Card Mod: 1 Geezard = 5 screws
Sharp Spike x 4	Card Mod: 1 Grand Mantis = 1 Sharp Spike
Star Fragment x 5	Card Mod: 3 Iron Giants = 1 Star Fragment You can find and card Iron Giants in Esthar after the Lunar Cry. Or, mug from T-Rexaurs at level 30+.
Windmill x 2	Card Mod: 1 Abyss Worm = 1 Windmill.  You can find (and Card) Abyss Worms in deserts near Galbadia.

It's fully possibly to have the best weapons on disc one if you level and play cards appropriately. If you're playing a low level game, it's still possible, but you will have to Mod a few rare cards. If you do, you can get them back on disc 4 from the Card Queen and the CC Club aboard the Ragnarok. This is true for all cards except the PuPu card.

If you wait till later, using Tonberry's level up skill will help with some of the items which are most easily obtained from high level drops.

Breath of Fire IV - Farming Stamp Cards

In Breath of Fire IV, you are able to trade fish for items at various Manillo stores.  You also earn stamps, 20 of which makes up one stamp cards.  Those stamp cards can, in turn, be traded for more items.

If you wish to get the Manillo's best items, you will need a LOT of stamp cards.

Cards	Item	Description
3	Magic Shard	+1 to max AP.
3	Power Food	+1 to Attack.
3	Swallow Eye	+1 to Agility.
3	Fish Head	+1 to Wisdom.
25	Coupons	Accessory.  User receives a discount on all purchases.
50	Dragon Tear	Accessory.  Protects wearer from all status changes.
75	Linked Pole.	Weapon for Cray, with 133 attack.  Damage changes with enemy's power.  One of Cray's best weapons.
99	Render	Weapon for Scias.  Attack 50, but changes based on number of battles fought.  2 hits.  If used as an item, casts Frost.  One of Scias' best weapons.

I really do not recommend trying to get everyone Dragon Tears.  You find one in Fou-Lu's tomb, and you really don't need any more than that.  The Cupid's Lyre, if nothing else, is a way more useful accessory.

I also wouldn't farm for the stat-up items.  You need to earn 60 fishing points just to get one, and levelling is so easy that it seems a bit pointless.  It would be quicker to use the Bots to level your characters up to 60 and decimate absolutely everything in the game.  You don't even need to be that high, really.  Coupons, too, aren't really worth it.  By the time you've got enough stamp cards for them, you've probably bought everything you need to, especially if you're selling off the items you're trading fish for..

No, what I'm farming for are the weapons.  Because I'm a completionist.

Method is simple, and is described here.  Go to River Spot 2 or 3, stand on the bridge, face south, use a swisher.  I generally do this while watching TV.  After a while, take your fish to the Checkpoint, where you can trade 1 Salmon, 2 Rainbow Trout, and 4 Browntails for 21 points.  Take any Trout or Sweetfish to Shyde.  My record is 208 points, or ten stamp cards, in one episode of Charmed (40 minutes).  Have fun!

Breath of Fire IV - Killing Treans

I finally killed a Trean!

I'm using a line-up of Cray, Ursula, and Scias.

Turn 1: Cray casts Charm, Scias uses Megaphone, Ursula uses War Shout.  Scias' HP was at 1, so he also used Rakhasa in this turn.

Turn 2: Cray uses Last Resort, Scias uses Megaphone, Ursula uses War Shout.

Turn 3:  FUCKING NINA'S WILL RUINS SCIAS' 1HP.  Cray uses Backhand on Scias, Scias uses Focus, Ursula guards.

Turn 4: Cray uses Tiger Fist, Ursula uses Triple Blow, Scias uses Reversal.  Fucking Trean dies!

Turn 5: Treans escape.

Alternatively;

Turn 1:  We brutally murder Nina.  Her hp was already at one, so it only took one blow.

Turn 2: Cray casts Charm, Scias uses Megaphone, Ursula uses War Shout.  Scias' HP was at 1, so he also used Rakhasa in this turn.  He'll probably use it at some point, as long as his HP is at 1.  Rakhasa gives you an automatic Last Resort effect, and 1HP means Reversal becomes a lot more powerful.

Turn 3: Cray uses Last Resort, Scias uses Megaphone, Ursula uses War Shout.

Turn 4:  Scias uses Focus, Cray uses Tiger Fist, Ursula uses Reversal.

Turn 5:  Cray uses Tiger Fist, Scias uses Shadowwalk, Ursula uses Reversal.  Repeat for two turns.  My party are far too weak to pull this off, though, luckily, Scias is apprenticed to Kyrik, and finishes one off for me after I've hacked away at it for long enough.

The Treans will run away either on the ninth turn, or on the turn after you kill one of them.  

This second scenario might be worth attempting again later; with Ursula, Reversal hits all of them, for 10-15,000 damage each.  Tiger Fist also hits all, but misses a lot.  I finally got a Nunchaku in this battle (this was the 3rd or 4th Treant I killed, so it doesn't take too long), which raised Cray's power to 474.

• Dragon Armour - For Ryu.  96 defence.  1F of the Imperial Castle.
• Life Armour - For Ryu, Cray, and Scias.  90 defence.  Heals 100hp per turn.  Buy from Manilla in Astana; 1 Whale, 1 Sturgeon, 3 Bullcat.
• Angel's Vest - For Nina and Ursula.  94 defence.  Dropped by a Warder in the Imperial Castle, or steal from Star Gazer in Imperial Castle.
• Star Dress - For Nina.  92 defence.  Manilla Store in Astana near the end of the game.  Whale x 3, Acheron x 8.
• Gideon's Garb - For Cray.  93 defence, +10 to attack.  Dropped by Battle Suit in Astana (Imperial HQ), after it has been infested with the Hex.  It's a rare drop, so it might take a while.
• King's Armour - For Scias.  100 Defence.  Stolen from Rider in Mukto Ruins.
• Chopam Plate - For Ershin.  50 defence.  Dropped by Chopam in Fou-Lu's tomb.
• Mithril Rig - for Ershin.  50 defence, but heavier than Chopam plate.  Forged at the Smithy by  mixing 3 x Iron Scraps.

Breath of Fire IV - Ershin's Best Equipment

Mass Driver - 104 attack.  Steal from Chopam in Fou-Lu's tomb.

Chopam Plate - 50 defence and "resists both physical and magical attacks".  Dropped by Chopam in Fou-Lu's tomb.

OR

Mithril Rig - 50 defence (but is heavier than Chopam Plate).  Forge at the Smithy from Iron Scraps x 3.

As you can see, there is only one enemy with whom you need to be concerned here.

To find Chopam;  he's in Fou-Lu's tomb.  You remember the block which took you down into the depths of the tomb, and then, eventually out in Mukto?  Ride that back all the way up, and Chopam will most commonly appear on the steps right in front of them.  Yes those little 2 x 1 steps.  Stay on them.

Getting the Chopam Plate from the Chopam is relatively easy - as long as you can kill him, you've got a very fair chance of getting it.  I've done a bit of levelling with the Bots, which helped.  Getting the Mass Driver is quite a bit harder.


To defeat Chopam; he will be invulnerable for two turns, so just try to steal or guard.  Maybe cast Charm, though you probably don't need to.  On the third turn, I found that a combo of Nina using Oracle, Ershin using Spray and Cray using Triple Blow worked very well, and did over 10,000 damage.

To steal from Chopam: use characters who are faster than he is - that is, with an agility of 140 or more - in order to steal from him twice on the fourth turn, before he is able to run away.  I used Nina and Ursula, one with Pilfer, one with Steal.  That gives you eight chances per battle, rather than six. 

Staying on the stairs heavily increases your chances of running into him, to the point of roughly every other battle. This makes a huge difference to how much this takes.  Even though you do have to look at the screen more and can't watch TV or read quite as much (trust me, you will want to be doing something else at the time).

I finally managed to steal one off, roughly, the tenth Chopam I faced.  Finally!

Breath of Fire IV - Scias' Best Equipment

Cleaver - 119 attack.  Steal from Horseman in Imperial Castle.

OR

Slicer - 78 attack, 2 hits.  Dropped by Kolpum in Imperial Castle.

OR

Render - 2 hits, attack varies with number of battles fought.  Trade 99 stamp cards to any Manillo.

King's Armour - 100 Defence.  Stolen from Rider in Mukto Ruins.



The King's Armour was surprisingly easy to get.  To find Rider, head to the Mukto Ruins.  See the jump spot behind the block?  Jump onto the path and run round to the left (North).  In the tunnel, look for the weakened wall, and use Ershin to break through it.  Head through the (very short) tunnels.  In the final room, you'll find an obelisk, marking where Fou-Lu was summoned, and a Dragon Tear (excellent accessory; protects from all status effects).  In here, you can run into Rider.

I had Ursula and Nina with Steal and Pilfer, and Scias healing in the third position.  I ran away once I had it.  I'll go back and kill him later.

Breath of Fire IV - Cray's Best Equipment

Nunchaku - 145 Attack.  Dropped by Trean in Abandoned Village.

OR

Linked Pole - 133 power.  Manillo Store.  Trade 75 stamp cards for it.

Gideon's Garb - 93 defence, +10 to attack.  Dropped by Battle Suit in Astana, near the end of the game.

OR

Life Armour - Defence 90.  Heals 100hp each turn.  buy from Manillo Store in Astana.  Costs one Whale, one Sturgeon, and three Bullcats.

It took me about half an hour of fighting to get the Gideon's Garb.  I bought one set of Life Armour when I first caught whales and sturgeons; Scias had it first, until I got his King Armour, then Cray, and now Ryu will wear it until I find him something better.

The Mist Armour you can buy in Chedo also has 93 defence, and is slightly lighter than the Gideon's Garb.  The main difference is that the Gideon's Garb also raises your attack, while the Life Armour constantly heals you, making them bother slightly better options.

Treans have a pretty high chance of dropping Nunchakus.  I got one off the third one that I managed to kill; not that it's much easier to kill one out of a group than the whole group.

You can see more information on the Manillo Stores here.

Breath of Fire IV - Ursula's Best Equipment

Electrifier - 110 attack, hits one, low hit rate.  Found in Fou-Lu's tomb.

OR

Culverin - 108 attack.  Manillo Store in Astana.  1 x Whale, 2 x Sturgeon, 2 x Barandy.

Angel's Vest -Steal from Star Gazer in Imperial Castle.

Breath of Fire IV - Nina's Best Equipment

 Ouroboros - 96 attack.  Casts Raise Dead if used as an item.  Steal from Beihl in the basement of the Imperial Castle.
 
Angel's Vest - 94 defence.  Steal from a Warder in the Imperial Castle.

OR

Star Dress - 92 defence.  Manillo Store in Astana near the end of the game.  Whale x 3, Acheron x 8.

You'll find both Warder and Beihl in the basement of the Imperial Castle.  It shouldn't take more than 20 or so steals to get the desired items.  Star Dress isn't really worth it, since Angel's Vest is so easy to get.  Unless you want to get eight Acherons, in which case, what else are you going to spend them on?

I found Warders appeared most often on B1.

Breath of Fire IV - Ryu's Best Equipment

GooKing Sword - 152 power.  You have a 1/256 chance of winning this sword by defeating a Goo King in the Imperial Castle.

OR

Dragon Blade - 128 power.  On B1 of the Imperial Castle.

OR

Royal Sword - 96 power, two hits.  Steal from Astral dragon, a boss near the end of the game.

Royal Armour - 102 defence.  Steal from Tyrant, a boss near the end of the game.

OR

Dragon Armour - 96 defence.  1F of the Imperial Castle.

OR

Life Armour - 90 defence.  Heals 100hp per turn.  Buy from Manilla in Astana; 1 Whale, 1 Sturgeon, 3 Bullcat.

Equipment in .Hack//Infection

The best equipment you can get in the game is as follows. I personally like to equip all my team-mates with their best weapons early on. Armour is a lot more difficult, as most items aren't available by data-draining, and so you need to rely on them randomly showing up at a Gott statue, which I've found not to be practical so I usually don't bother.

Head

Light: Thunder Torque. Trade from Tim.
Medium: Lightening Cap.
Heavy: Ceramic Helm (second best is the Stormlord Helm).

Body

Light: Thundercloak. Trade from Micino and Benkei.
Medium: Quakebeast Fur

Hand

Light: Storm Bracer. Trade from Teria, or DD Wood Stock (non-rare).
Medium: Thunder Gloves. Trade from Benoit.
Heavy: Hands of Storm. Trade from Teria.

Foot

Light: Thunder Anklet. Trade from Benoit.
Medium: Ranger's Boots.
Heavy: Electric Guard. From Mantis, or DD Red Scissors (non-rare).

The best weapons are as follows;

Twin Blade (Kite, Natsume): Hyakkidouran (DD Parasite Dragon, only one available), Bom-ba-ye (DD Mu Guardian).

WaveMaster (Elk, Mistral): Dark History (DD Pheonix Queen), Jester's Wand (DD Woodstock).

Heavy Blade (Blackrose, Sanjuro): Shikisokuzeku (DD Goil Menhir), Sakabatou (DD Hell Hound).

Heavy Axe (Piros): Axe Bomber (DD Red Scissors), Great Hill (DD Mantis).

Blademaster (Mia): Phoenix Wing (DD Mystery Rock), Jinsaran (DD Metal Goblin).

The armour will heal you, each turn and each step. You can buy it from the Manillo at the fishing spot near Kombinat, where it costs one Whalefish, one Spearfish, and three Barandy. You can also find it in the Desert.


Since this is also Ryu's best armour, it may be easier to have the faeries copy it than to find one and buy one, or to buy two.

Aries Gloves - 44 defence, 2 weight, +10 to power.
You can steal these from Berserkers at the Container Yard.

Divine Helm - 26 defence, 2 weight, resists flame.
Dropped by Gold Eggs in the Factory and Wraiths in Myria Station.

Aries Gloves - 44 defence, 2 weight, +10 to power.
