—When to Buy Items———————————————————–
Within a particular category, the specific items that are available is
determined by how far in the story you’ve progressed. Reaching certain points
of the game adds new items to the stores. Once a new item appears in a shop,
it is always for sale and never goes away.
Note, however, that even after an item is "unlocked," it does not appear in
every shop. Instead, shops in different towns sell different types of items.
See the list above to see which shops sell which categories of items.
Some items NEVER become available in shops and can only be obtained by
stealing, poaching, the Treasure Hunter ability, or through the multiplayer
missions.

%%%RARE ITEM LOCATIONS%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00rare
This is a list of where you can find all the items that are Not Sold In Stores.
Items marked with a # can only be found in the multiplayer modes.
Items not listed here can be bought in shops. See the Shops List above for
when they become available. There is an unlimited supply of all shop items.
—FINDING ITEMS WITH TREASURE HUNTER—
ALL rare items found with Treasure Hunter are better found with a low Bravery.
The higher your Bravery, the higher you’ll get a crummy generic item instead of
the rare item. (The chance of getting the "bad" item is simply equal to your
Bravery.) If you pick up the bad item from a tile, note that you can no longer
get the good item there! The exception is the Materia Blade, which you always
get regardless of your Bravery.
—CATCHING WEAPONS FROM NINJAS—
MANY rare weapons can be caught from enemy Ninjas throwing them at you. To do
this, equip the reaction ability Sticky Fingers (Thief); when a Ninja throws
the item at you, you’ll catch it and it will be added to your inventory.
Rare items are only thrown if the enemy Ninja has a very high level (90+). To
encounter high level Ninjas, you’ll need to raise your own levels to 90+.
Good places to find enemy Ninjas are Midlight’s Deep floor 9, The Interstice,
and the "Littering" mission in Rendezvous Mode. Littering is especially
advantageous as the enemy party always consists of nothing but 10 Ninjas!
—MULTIPLAYER PRIZES—
Many rare items can be won in Rendezvous Mode and/or Melee Mode, the game’s
multiplayer modes. (Some items can ONLY be found in this way!) In general,
the items you win in these modes is determined by your characters’ levels. The
earlier Rendezvous Mode missions also place a cap on the quality of item you
can obtain. You can start winning rare items in Littering and all later
missions, but the best items can only be won from the four missions that open
up after you complete the game.
—WHICH ITEMS ARE MISSABLE?—
I’ve also indicated whether or not there is a limited supply of each item.
For some rare items, there is only a limited number of them available in the
game, so if you miss the items, or if they get broken or stolen during battle,
you may not be able to find any more!
Some items that can be missed in the single-player mode can still be found in
the multiplayer mode.
Items that can be missed if you only play the single-player game:
WEAPONS: Rod of Faith, Zeus Mace, Staff of the Magi, Ras Algethi, Perseus Bow
SHIELDS: Kaiser Shield, Venetian Shield, Escutcheon (II)
HEADGEAR: Grand Helm
ARMOR: Genji Armor, Maximillian, Ninja Gear, Mirage Vest, Lordly Robe
ACCESSORIES: Invisibility Cloak, Cursed Ring, Tynar Rouge
ABILITIES: Ultima, Zodiark
Items that appear to be truly missable and can’t be found even in multiplayer:
WEAPONS: Rod of Faith, Zeus Mace, Staff of the Magi
SHIELDS: Escutcheon (II)
HEADGEAR: Grand Helm
ARMOR: Maximillian
ACCESSORIES: Cursed Ring, Tynar Rouge

—Abilities——————————————————————-
Ultima [Game Hunter/Squire (Ramza)]:
– Learned by having Celia or Lettie cast on Luso during Story Battle 34:
Riovanes Castle Roof; Luso must be in the Game Hunter job.
– Learned by having an enemy cast it on Ramza or Luso during Chapter IV; the
targeted character must be in the Game Hunter (Luso) or Squire (Ramza) job.
Enemies that cast Ultima include Celia and Lettie during Story Battles 44:
Limberry Castle Gate and 45: Limberry Castle Keep, and Ultima Demons during
Story Battle 45: Limberry Castle Keep, 46: Limberry Castle Inner Court, and
Story Battle 52: Mullonde Cathedral Sanctuary. See "Learning Ultima" under
Advanced Tactics and Secrets for more information.
– Can also be learned as above from the Ultima Demons in the final battle, but
this is past the point of no return to the world map.
– Once Ramza or Luso has learned it, you can teach it to the other by casting
it on him when the target is in the Game Hunter (Luso) or Squire (Ramza) job.
– Can be learned from another player’s Ramza or Luso in Rendezvous Mode (but
not Melee Mode).
– Learned from Celia or Lettie in the Brave Story mission in Rendezvous Mode,
via the same procedure as above. You must successfully complete the mission
to keep the spell.
MISSABLE?: Yes in single-player mode, if no one has learned it by the time
you finish Story Battle 52. Not missable in Rendezvous Mode.
Zodiark [Summoner]:
– Learned by having Elidibus cast it on a Summoner during the initial battle on
the tenth floor of Midlight’s Deep (Terminus), if the Summoner survives.
Each time this happens, you have a high (but not 100%) chance of learning the
spell; you may need to have Elidibus cast it on you more than once if you
don’t learn it the first time. Use Mana Shield to survive the spell, or see
the battle strategy for this battle for additional tips.
– Learned from Elidibus in the Brave Story mission in Rendezvous Mode, via the
same procedure as above. You must succesfully complete the mission to keep
the spell.
– Can be taught to other characters by first casting on an enemy Summoner, then
having the enemy Summoner cast it at the character whom you want to learn the
spell. Again, the target must be a Summoner when hit by the spell. (The
Catacombs, The Switchback, and The Interstice are all good places to find
enemy Summoners.)
MISSABLE?: Yes in single-player, if you don’t learn it during the battle with
Elidibus. Not missable in Rendezvous Mode.
%%%MISSABLE ITEMS AND EVENTS%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00miss
This is a quick list of story events and unique items that you can "miss" over
the course of the game, and what you need to do to make sure you’re able to
see every story events and collect every item in the single-player mode. This
is just a quick list of key points; for a more detailed treatment, see the
corresponding walkthrough section.
Points marked ESSENTIAL *must* be completed to get an item or see an event.
Points marked GOOD IDEA are not strictly necessary, but will make the process
easier — for example, stealing a rare item that otherwise can only be obtained
through poaching a hard-to-find enemy. Finally, I’ve pointed out some points
that seem like they might be needed but are actually NOT IMPORTANT, so that you
don’t have to worry about them!
—CHAPTER I——————————————————————-
Nothing in this chapter is missable, or affects your ability to complete
anything else later.
* GOOD IDEA: At the start of the battle at Mandalia Plains, you’ll be given a
choice whether to help Argath or directly attack the enemy. Choose the first
option to make the battle easier and gain Bravery, since there aren’t as many
ways to raise your Bravery early on. However, your choice here does not affect
anything else in Chapter I or later on.
—CHAPTER II——————————————————————
* ESSENTIAL: At the very beginning of this chapter, you will be able to add
Alicia and Lavian to your roster. Add them to your roster, and do NOT let them
leave until you have completed the Agrias’s Birthday sidequest in Chapter IV.
This means that you must not dismiss them, must not let them get turned into
crystals/chests, and must not let them abandon the party due to having a very
low Bravery or very high Faith.
* NOT IMPORTANT: At this time, you will also be able to add Ladd to your
roster. Ladd is basically just a generic male human. He doesn’t have any
special abilities and isn’t needed for any sidequests. So, you can take him or
leave him as you want.
* GOOD IDEA: At the start of the story battle at Araguay Woods, you’ll be given
a choice whether to help Boco. Choose the second option to avoid losing
Bravery. However, your choice here does not affect anything else.
* NOT IMPORTANT: After the Araguay Woods battle, you will be able to add Boco
the chocobo to your roster. Boco is just a regular yellow Chocobo, so you
don’t have to take him along.
* NOT TOO IMPORTANT: At the story battle at Tchigolith Fenlands, there’s a
chance of encountering an enemy Pig. Recruit it (using Entice or Time) if you
see it, as you can breed it and poach the pigs for rare items. If you don’t see
it, though, it’s by no means essential to get here as you’ll have many other
chances to recruit them later.
* ESSENTIAL: After completing the story battle at the Clockwork City of Goug,
you will be able to add Mustadio to your roster. Mustadio is a unique story
character and is also needed for most of the sidequests in Chapter IV, so add
him to your roster and don’t lose him.
* ESSENTIAL: After the battle at Balias Swale, you will be able to add Agrias
to your roster. Agrias is another unique story character and is needed for two
sidequests in Chapter IV, so add her to your team.
* ESSENTIAL: Deploying Agrias during the battle at Golgollada Gallows will
allow you to see some extra dialogue between her and Ramza. This dialogue is
not, however, needed to unlock anything else later.
—CHAPTER III—————————————————————–
* GOOD IDEA: When Alma joins the party, it’s a good idea de-equip her Healing
Staff and Barette (as well as her Red Shoes) before you go to the Orbonne
Monastery. This is not *required* as both these items can be poached later:
the Healing Staff is a rare poach from Dryads and the Barette is a rare poach
from Red Chocobos.
* NOT IMPORTANT: During a story event, you will be asked whether or not you
have read the Scriptures of Germonique. Your response here has no bearing on
anything, so don’t worry about it 🙂
* GOOD IDEA: The story battle at Zeklaus Desert features all three types of
behemoths. All three types of behemoth yield rare items when poached. So, you
may want to poach them, or recruit one or more onto your team (with Entice or
Tame) to breed more behemoths for poaching. However, it is not necessary to
poach/recruit them here as there are plenty of behemoths in random battles
later in the game.
* ESSENTIAL: After the battle at Zeklaus Desert, you will be able to add Luso
to your roster. This is your only opportunity to get this unique character on
your team, so add him. (Luso is not needed to unlock any other events,
though.)
* ESSENTIAL: At the very end of Chapter III, you will be given a chance to add
Rapha and Marach to your roster. Both are unique story characters and each has
different abilities, so sign them up. (They are not, however, very useful :P.)
—CHAPTER IV——————————————————————
The Gollund Colliery sidequest is available at the beginning of this chapter.
Assuming you still have Mustadio, Agrias, Alicia, and Lavian on your roster,
the Agrias’s Birthday sidequest is also available at this time. Both of these
sidequests are available until completed and never disappear. (See Walkthrough
– Sidequests for the full walkthroughs for these quests.)
—Agrias’s Birthday—
* ESSENTIAL: After completing the Agrias’s Birthday sidequest, you will receive
the Tynar Rouge accessory. This is a one-of-a-kind item and cannot be
replaced, so don’t throw it away, or let it get broken or stolen by an enemy.
After completing the Agrias’s Birthday event, Alicia and Lavian are not
strictly needed for any other events, although they will appear in Disorder in
the Order if you still have them along.
—Gollund Colliery—
* ESSENTIAL: Near the beginning of this quest (at the Tavern in Lesalia),
Beowulf will ask you to team up. Choose the second option to agree to this.
Otherwise, Beowulf will leave and the quest cannot be completed.
* GOOD IDEA: In the third battle in this quest (Gollund Colliery Ridge), you
will encounter an enemy Pig. Entice or Tame the Pig so you can start breeding
monsters from the pig family. Some rare items can only be obtained by poaching
pig-family monsters — including those from the Wild Boar monster, which can
ONLY be obtained by breeding! If you do miss the Pig here, though, you can get
others later.
* ESSENTIAL: After completing the last battle of this quest, Beowulf and Holy
Dragon Reis will offer to join your team. Both are unique story characters and
both are needed for later quests, so sign them up.
* ESSENTIAL: Upon return to the Clockwork City of Goug, Construct 8 will also
be offered as another character. Construct 8 is another unique character, so
recruit it.
—Chapter IV Main Quest – Up to Bervenia Free City—
* GOOD IDEA: During the story battle at Bervenia Free City, you may want to
steal the Defender and Chantage from Meliadoul, especially since both are good
items. However, these can also be poached/stolen/caught later if you miss them.
After completing the story battle at the Free City of Bervenia, the Recruiting
Balthier sidequest is now available. It does not depend on any missable
factors.
—Recruiting Balthier Quest—
* ESSENTIAL: After you complete this quest, Balthier will offer to join.
Again, he is a unique story character, so sign him up. He is not needed for
any other quests.
* ESSENTIAL: Balthier’s initial equipment includes the Ras Algethi gun and the
Mirage Vest body armor. Both of these are unique items in single-player, so,
again, don’t throw them away or let them get broken. (Note that you must sign
up Balthier to get them.) It is possible to get additional guns and vests in
the multiplayer modes.
—Chapter IV Main Quest – Finnath Creek to Sal Ghidos—
* GOOD IDEA: During the story battle at Finnath Creek (NOT during the random
battles), there’s a random chance of encountering one more enemy Pigs. If you
don’t already have one, Entice or Tame a Pig so you can start breeding
monsters from the pig family. Some rare items can only be obtained by poaching
pig-family monsters — including those from the Wild Boar monster, which can
ONLY be obtained by breeding! If you don’t get any Pigs here, you can get
others later.
* GOOD IDEA: In the story battle at Beddha Sandwaste, you can steal a Glacial
Gun from Barich. This is a rare item that can’t be bought in stores, but it’s
not unique and you can get an infinite supply from random battles later.
* ESSENTIAL: After completing the battles at Fort Besselat, Orlandeau will
offer to join. Sign him up as he is another unique story character.
* GOOD IDEA: Orlandeau’s initial equipment includes the Excalibur knight’s
sword. The Excalibur isn’t unique (an infinite supply can be caught from high-
level enemy Ninjas), but Excaliburs are hard to get, so hang on to it!
* ESSENTIAL: When you first visit the Trade City of Sal Ghidos, you will see a
cutscene in which Aerith offers you a flower. Choose the SECOND option to buy
the flower. If you do not buy the flower, you will NOT be able to complete the
Nelveska Temple & Recruiting Cloud subquests, and there is only ONE chance to
get it!!
Once you have the flower, you can complete the Nelveska Temple sidequest if you
also finished the Gollund Colliery quest and still have Beowulf and Reis on
your team.
—Nelveska Temple Quest—
* ESSENTIAL: Using the Treasure Hunter ability, move atop the left pillar to
find the Escutcheon (II) shield. You will need to use a large monster (such as
Reis or Construct 8) as a stepping-stone to get up on top of the pillar. You
may instead receive a crummy regular Escutcheon; the chance of getting this BAD
Escutcheon is equal to your Bravery. So, a lower Bravery is better! This is
the ONLY chance to get the Escutcheon II in the game and you CANNOT come back
to this map afterwards, so you must pick it up here to get every item.
* GOOD IDEA: The Javelin II, Sasuke’s Blade, and Nagnarok weapons can also be
found with Treasure Hunter and low Bravery here. These, however, are not
unique; Sasuke’s Blade and the Javelin II can be caught from enemy Ninjas and
the Nagnarok can be poached from Swine.
* ESSENTIAL: After completing the events in this quest, Reis’s new version will
offer to rejoin your party. She is another unique story character and needed
for the Lionel’s New Liege Lord quest, so sign her up.
—Chapter IV Main Quest – Mount Germinas to Limberry—
* ESSENTIAL: The Mount Germinas map contains an item, the Invisiblity Cloak,
that’s one-of-a-kind in single-player. It’s found using Treasure Hunter atop
the mountain; see Advanced Tactics and Secrets for a map to its location.)
Again, the lower your Bravery, the better chance of getting the Invisibility
Cloak instead of just an Ether. You only get to pick up ONE of these items, so
if you end up with the Ether, the Invisibility Cloak is gone for good! Unlike
with the Nelveska Temple items, however, there’s absolutely no need to get this
during the story battle here — you can come back and get it in a random battle
at any time. It’s also possible to win Invisibility Cloaks in Rendezvous Mode.
* GOOD IDEA: You may encounter another Pig in the story battle at Finnath
Creek. (It’s random whether or not you’ll see it.) If you missed the Pig in
the Gollund Colliery, try to recruit this one. If you don’t get one here, you
can still find an infinite supply in Dorvaulder Marsh or the last floor of
Midlight’s Deep.
* GOOD IDEA: At Limberry, you’ll face a series of four battles. In the first
three battles, you’ll want to learn Ultima by having one of the Assassins or
Ultima Demons cast it on either Ramza in his Squire job, or Luso in his Game
Hunter job. It is easiest by far to learn it in the first battle (at the
gate).
* NOT IMPORTANT: You can’t steal Elmdore’s equipment in this version of the
game, so don’t even try.
* ESSENTIAL: After winning all the battles at Limberry, Meliadoul will offer to
join you. Sign her up; she is a unique character and is needed for another
couple story events.
* GOOD IDEA: Meliadoul comes with a Save The Queen sword. Again, the supply of
these is actually unlimited (since they can be caught from enemy Ninjas), but
keeping this one as a good idea!
The Recruiting Cloud quest is now available.
—Recruiting Cloud Quest—
* ESSENTIAL: When given the chance to sign up Cloud, add him. He isn’t needed
for anything else, but IS a unique story character.
* GOOD IDEA: Cloud’s Materia Blade is found atop Mount Bervenia using Treasure
Hunter. Bravery is NOT important. Try to hang onto it since Cloud needs it
for his Limit command, but if you lose it, you CAN get more from enemy Ninjas.
—Chapter IV Main Quest – Eagrose to End—
* ESSENTIAL: After Limberry, you will be directed back to Eagrose. On your way
back to Eagrose, enter Dorter Trade City for an optional battle. (This battle
will only trigger if you have Meliadoul on your roster.) If you visit Eagrose
before activated this battle, it will disappear.
* GOOD IDEA: In the aforementioned Dorter battle, you can steal a Dragon Rod
from Cletienne. This weapon can also be found as a rare poach from Blue
Dragons, but it’s easiest to steal.
* GOOD IDEA: The boss at Eagrose has a Defender sword you can steal, if you
missed the one at Bervenia or want a second one. Again, there’s actually an
unlimited supply of Defenders (from poaching Elder Treants), so you don’t
*have* to get this one.
* GOOD IDEA: Once you get to Mullonde, you’ll face a series of three battles.
In the first battle, the enemy Summoner has another Dragon Rod if you missed
the prior one.
* ESSENTIAL: For the second battle at Mullonde, deploy Meliadoul for some
additional mid-battle dialogue. (This is not needed to unlock anything else,
however.)
* ESSENTIAL: If you have not yet learned the Ultima spell, the third battle at
Mullonde is your last chance in the single-player mode to learn it, if Ultima
Demons cast it on either Ramza in his Squire job, or Luso in his Game Hunter
job.
Once you complete the battles at Mullonde, you will be able to complete the
last set of sidequests, as well as the last set of story battles. You must
still have Beowulf, Reis, and Agrias to complete this final set of sidequests.
* ESSENTIAL: After entering Orbonne Monastery for the final sequence of
battles, SAVE YOUR GAME IN A DIFFERENT SLOT. You will NOT be able to get out
to the world map again. So, if you want to be able to roam the map at all, you
must keep a separate save from BEFORE you went into the Monastery.
—Lionel’s New Liege Lord Quest—
* NOT IMPORANT: Aliste has Safeguard, so you can’t steal any of his Genji gear.
Sorry.
* ESSENTIAL: After completing the first battle of this quest, you will receive
the Genji Armor as a battle trophy. This is a unique item, so do not let get
it stolen or broken.
* GOOD IDEA: You can steal the Masamune from one of the enemy samurai in the
second battle of this quest. The Masamune can only be otherwise obtained by
catching it from enemy Ninjas (or winning it in Rendezvous Mode), so it’s good
to get here. (Be careful using the Masamune for Iaido; if it breaks, you’ll
have to catch a replacement!)
* GOOD IDEA: You can also steal a Cachusha and Barette from the enemy Mystics
in the same battle. These are also available from poaching.
* ESSENTIAL: You will receive a Zeus Mace as a battle trophy after the second
battle. Keep it; this is one of only two in the game.
—Disorder in the Order Quest—
* GOOD IDEA: If you still have Alicia and Lavian in your roster, the story
event at Zeltennia Castle will include them in the background. However, having
them here doesn’t affect the actual event, nor your ability to do anything else
later. Note that once you’ve completed this event, Alicia and Lavian aren’t
used for anything else, so you could dismiss them if you want since they’re
otherwise just generic characters.
* ESSENTIAL: If you bring Orlandeau to the battle in this quest, you can see a
little extra dialogue. But, it’s not needed for anything else.
* ESSENTIAL: In the battle in this quest, you can steal Venetian and Kaiser
Shields from the two Knights, and Ninja Gear from the enemy Monk. There is
only other one copy of each of these items in the single-player mode, so be
sure to snag them. (However, you can get an infinite supply in multiplayer.)
* GOOD IDEA: You can also steal a Sasuke’s Blade, Barette, Blaze Gun, and
Glacial Gun in the same battle, although none of these are strictly necessary.
—Midlight’s Deep—
All the floors of Midlight’s Deep have items you can find with Treasure Hunter.
Again, a lower Bravery increases your chance is needed to get these items;
otherwise, you just get a Phoenix Down. If you get the Phoenix Down, the
"good" item disappears, even if you leave the battle and re-enter.
* GOOD IDEA: Good Treasure Hunter pickups on The Crevasse: Glacial Gun and
Blaze Gun. (Both also obtainable in random battles, however.)
* GOOD IDEA: Good Treasure Hunter pickups on The Stair: Save The Queen and
Blood Sword.
* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Hollow: Zeus Mace. There are only
two of these available in the game; the other comes from the Lionel’s New Liege
Lord quest.
* GOOD IDEA: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Hollow: Yoichi Bow.
* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Catacombs: Rod of Faith. Only
available here.
* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Catacombs: Kaiser Shield. One of
only two in single-player; the other comes from Disorder in the Order.
* GOOD IDEA: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Catacombs: Faerie Harp.
* GOOD IDEA: Good Treasure Hunter pickups on The Oubliette: Excalibur and Iga
Blade.
* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Palings: Cursed Ring. This is the
only one in the game, and also pretty much essential for completing one of the
Rendezvous Mode missions.
* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Palings: Ninja Gear (1 of 2 in the
single-player game; the other from Disorder in the Order).
* GOOD IDEA: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Palings: Blaster gun.
* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Crossing: Staff of the Magi (only
one in the game).
* GOOD IDEA: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Crossing: Koga Blade.
* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickups on The Switchback: Perseus Bow and Lordly
Robe (both only available here in single-player, but can be found in
Rendezvous).
* GOOD IDEA: Treasure Hunter pickup on The Switchback: Excalibur.
* ESSENTIAL: Treasure Hunter pickups on The Interstice: Maximillian and Grand
Helm (both unique), and Venetian Shield (1 of 2 in the single-player game; the
other is from Disorder in the Order)
* ESSENTIAL: The first time you enter floor 10 (Terminus), you’ll fight a story
battle. This is your only chance to obtain the Zodiark summon in the single-
player game, by having it the boss cast it on a character using the Summoner
job. Use Mana Shield to survive the spell.
* ESSENTIAL: After defeating Elidibus, you will be able to sign up the Byblos.
This is a unique monster/character, so add it.
* GOOD IDEA: Treasure Hunter pickups on Terminus: Chaos Blade and Chirijiraden.
(Be careful using the Chirijiraden for Iaido; if it breaks, you’ll have to
catch a replacement!)

XII. ERRANDS
*******************************************************************************
%%%BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT ERRANDS%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00err0
—Beginning and Ending an Errand———————————————–
–THE BASICS–
Errands are used to earn extra JP and gil. When you accept an errand at a
Tavern, you’ll pay a small fee and can send 1-3 characters away on the errand.
The characters will be gone for the number of days you chose; during this time,
they can’t fight or change jobs/equipment. When the number of days of the
errand has elapsed, return to the Tavern and choose Report. (It has to be at
the same town as where the Errand started.) When you click Report, you’ll hear
whether or not the Errand was successful.
If the errand is successful, you’ll earn some gil and the 1-3 characters sent
on the errand will gain some JP for their current job. Some errands pay quite
well and can net you more than 20,000 gil, while others pay less than it costs
to sign up for them!
The amount of gil and JP you earn is largely dependent on the particular
errand, and on the number of days for which the characters were deployed.
(Deploying the characters for more days earns you more gil/JP.) Your current
job and sometimes your Bravery/Faith values also play a small role in determing
your pay; more details are below.
Only generic human characters, not monsters or special story characters, may be
sent on errands. Ladd, Alicia, and Lavian are considered generic characters
for this purpose.
To check how many days are remaining on your current errands, open the menu
on the world map and select Chronicle -> Feats -> Present.
–WHEN DO NEW ERRANDS APPEAR?–
Errands are not available until Chapter II. Beginning in Chapter II, new
errands regularly appear in the Taverns as you progress through the game. Each
town has its own set of errands.
If you don’t complete an errand during the Chapter in which it first appears,
it will still be there in future chapters and you can always come back to it!
There are also a few errands that are only available during specific months;
these appear at the bottom of the Errands list below.
–SUCCESS AND FAILURE–
Success on an errand isn’t guaranteed. Occasionally, the characters sent on an
errand may fail to complete it. If this happens, you’ll receive only minimal
JP and gil.
If you fail an errand, let the calendar advance to the next month and the
errand should re-appear in the Tavern.
You can improve your odds of success by selecting characters who are well-
suited for the job based on their current job and Bravery/Faith values.
(Preferred jobs and Bravery/Faith stats are listed in the Errands list below.)
Failures really only tend to occur if ALL of the characters you send are
totally ill-suited for the errand. As long as you have at least one decent
character on the errand, you should succeed.
Although characters can sometimes fail an errand, no harm ever comes to the
characters. You cannot lose characters or items on an errand.
–ABANDONING AN ERRAND–
If you need to quickly get back your deployed characters, you can go to a
Tavern in any town (it does not have to be the one from which they embarked)
and choose Recall Units.
After you choose Recall Units, the characters will give up on the errand and
head back home. After another day has passed (i.e., one move on the world map),
go to the Tavern from which you deployed the characters (this time, it MUST be
the same town) and choose Report to get them back. The errand will have ended
in failure, but the characters will be returned to your active roster, and you
can retry the errand next month.
Of course, since it takes 1-2 days to get your characters back even after doing
a Recall, there’s no sense in abandoning an errand that only has 1-2 days left
to finish!
—Artefacts and Wonders——————————————————–
Some errands reward you with Artefacts or Wonders of the Ancient World. These
prizes are displayed in your Chronicle menu, but otherwise have no impact on
the game.
In the Japanese version of the game, a few of the book-like Artefacts (Mesa’s
Musings, the Veil of Wiyu, Nanai’s Histories, and the Enavia Chronicles) can be
used to play Choose Your Own Adventure-style text-adventure games. These mini-
games aren’t available in any of the English releases, but since the text games
also have no impact on the main game, their absence doesn’t change much.
Collecting more Artefacts and Wonders will increase your Treasure Hunter and
Adventurer ranks, as reported to you by the Tavernmaster. These ranks are also
purely cosmetic, although collecting all the Artefacts and Wonders will earn
you some nice stars on your Chronicle screen 😉
1 artefact : Level 1 Treasure Hunter 1 wonder : Level 1 Adventurer
4 artefacts : Level 2 Treasure Hunter 3 wonders : Level 2 Adventurer
8 artefacts : Level 3 Treasure Hunter 6 wonders : Level 3 Adventurer
12 artefacts : Level 4 Treasure Hunter 3 wonders : Level 4 Adventurer
16 artefacts : Level 5 Treasure Hunter 10 wonders : Level 5 Adventurer
20 artefacts : Level 6 Treasure Hunter 12 wonders : Level 6 Adventurer
24 artefacts : Level 7 Treasure Hunter 14 wonders : Level 7 Adventurer
31 artefacts : Master Treasure Hunter 16 wonders : Master Adventurer
The total number of Artefacts and Wonders is identical to the number of errands
from which you get Artefacts and Wonders, so you’re guaranteed to get all the
Artefacts and Wonders if you complete all the errands.
—Errand Payout—————————————————————-
When you complete an errand, each participating character will receive JP, and
you’ll also earn some gil for the party.
The specific amount of JP and gil awarded is a sum of five factors:
* The errand’s base pay
* The number of days you deployed the characters for
* Character job effects
* Bravery/Faith effects
* The Bonus received
All of these factors are combined into the JP and gil totals you see displayed
at the end of the errand.
Below, I’ll describe each of these factors in more detail.
–BASE PAY–
Some errands just give you more gil or JP than others. This is by far the most
important factor. Some errands pay handsomely; others are a total rip-off!
–NUMBER OF DAYS–
Deploying the characters for more days earns you a little more JP and gil. (The
only thing that counts is the number that you choose when you start the errand.
As you might expect, having the characters wait in the Tavern for extra days
after you complete the errand does not earn them any extra JP or gil.)
–CHARACTER JOB EFFECTS–
Different character jobs are suited for different errands. For example, Ninjas
are best at combat-oriented jobs, while Orators are good at acquiring the info
needed for investigations.
If a character’s current job is well-suited for the errand, they may earn a
small amount of extra JP and gil. (Or, your JP and gil award may be reduced if
you use a really inappropriate job.) One character’s job does not affect the
JP earned by other characters on the errand.
The Errand Types section below lists all the bonuses/penalties for all jobs for
every errand type.
Note that sometimes when your characters are giving their report of an errand,
they’ll say something like, "The skills of the Archer were a great boon to
us." These messages do NOT actually reflect the best job for the errand, so
don’t be fooled! (Reportedly, these messages were SUPPOSED to be accurate, but
a bug in the game causes it to display the wrong message. Oops!)
TIP: Using the best job only gets you a few extra JP and gil. So, in most
cases, it isn’t worth changing jobs to one you don’t normally use. Stick with
jobs for which the JP rewards will actually be useful! This is particularly
true for Mimes and Onion Knights — earning JP with these jobs is pretty silly
as they have no abilities to buy.
–BRAVERY AND FAITH–
Some errands also take your Bravery and Faith into consideration when awarding
JP and gil. There are three kinds of errands in this regard:
* Errands where your Bravery and Faith don’t matter
* Errands that prefer HIGH Bravery and LOW Faith
* Errands that prefer LOW Bravery and HIGH Bravery
Every errand that prefers high Bravery also prefers low Faith, and vice versa.
The specific effects of these stats on your JP/gil award are below:
WHEN HIGH BRAVERY PREFERRED: WHEN LOW BRAVERY PREFERRED:
81 – 97 Bravery : +10 JP & gil 81 – 97 Bravery : -5 JP & gil
61 – 80 Bravery : +5 JP & gil 61 – 80 Bravery : -2 JP & gil
41 – 60 Bravery : No change 41 – 60 Bravery : No change
21 – 40 Bravery : -2 JP & gil 21 – 40 Bravery : +5 JP & gil
6 – 20 Bravery : -5 JP & gil 6 – 20 Bravery : +10 JP & gil
WHEN LOW FAITH PREFERRED: WHEN HIGH FAITH PREFERRED:
81 – 94 Faith : -5 JP & gil 81 – 94 Faith : +10 JP & gil
61 – 80 Faith : -2 JP & gil 61 – 80 Faith : +5 JP & gil
41 – 60 Faith : No change 41 – 60 Faith : No change
21 – 40 Faith : +5 JP & gil 21 – 40 Faith : -2 JP & gil
3 – 20 Faith : +10 JP & gil 3 – 20 Faith : -5 JP & gil
As with the job effects, these effects are really pretty small.
Note that equipping the Rod of Faith has NO effect on your Faith for the
purposes of running errands; the Faith status from this weapon only applies in
battle.
–BONUSES–
Successfully completing most errands earns your team one of several kinds of
bonuses, listed below. The kind of bonus you receive is always the SAME for a
given errand; I’ve listed the bonus for each errand in the Errand List section
below. (Generally, it varies by the type of errand — exploration-type errands
give you Wonders, combat-type errands usually give you Gil Bags, etc.).
No bonus is awarded if you fail the errand, but you can always retry it.
Each bonus comes in one of three tiers. Receiving the Tier 2 bonus awards
additional gil and additional JP to each character, compared to Tier 1. Tier 3
gives you even more than that! This additional JP and gil is rolled into the
total awarded — you won’t see it displayed separately.
It’s RANDOM which tier of the bonus you are awarded (and which Artefact or
Wonder you get, for those errands). As you might expect, Tier 2 is more
uncommon than Tier 1, and Tier 3 is the rarest.
EXAMPLE: For the "Ore" bonus, you’ll randomly receive either iron ore, mythril
ore (Tier 2), or adamantite (Tier 3, the rarest). Receiving mythril gives you
an extra 3100 gil and 20 extra JP to each character, compared to iron.
Receiving adamantite gives you 5100 gil, plus 30 extra JP per character.
A list of all the bonus types:
BONUS TYPE TIER 2 (VS. TIER 1) TIER 3 (VS. TIER 1) ERRAND TYPE
Artefact –No tiers. Random Artefact awarded.– (multiple types)
Gil Bag (Combat) +450 gil, +20 JP +3350 gil, +30 JP Combat
Gil Bag (Salvage) +1600 gil, +20 JP +4100 gil, +30 JP Salvage
Ore +3100 gil, +20 JP +5100 gil, +30 JP Mining
Payment (Large) +1100 gil, +20 JP +3100 gil, +30 JP Investigation
Payment (Small) +450 gil, +20 JP +3350 gil, +30 JP Investigation N1
Prize Money +1000 gil, +20 JP +2000 gil, +40 JP Melee
Reward Money +200 gil, +20 JP +1600 gil, +30 JP Odd Jobs
Nothing… No extra gil/JP No extra gil/JP (multiple types)
Wonders –No tiers. Random Wonder awarded.– Exploration
The specific tier of bonus you receive isn’t determined until your characters
actually report the job. So, if you want, you can save right before you choose
the job report, report the job, and reload your save if you don’t get a Tier 2
or Tier 3 bonus (though this can be a rather inefficient way to gain JP/gil).
–IRRELEVANT FACTORS–
Aside from the stats listed above, everything else does NOT have any affect on
your payout from errands. Character level, gender, equipment, abilities, and
stats aside from Bravery and Faith are all irrelevant to your payout. So, it’s
fine to deploy even low-level characters on errands.
JP Boost does not increase the JP received from errands.
%%%ERRAND TYPES & PREFERRED JOBS%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00err1
The 96 Errands in the game can be divided into 22 errand "types." For each
errand type, different character jobs will net you the most JP and gil. Below,
I’ve listed each errand type and how all the jobs stack up for that errand type.
The number in the "JP/GIL" column shows how much that job increases or decreases
your JP intake. (The effects on JP and gil are always the same!) A
character’s job affects only HIS/HER OWN JP intake and does not affect any
other characters who might be on the errand. A negative number here just
decreases the JP and gil received from the errand, it does NOT cause you to
lose JP and gil you already have.
Sometimes when you complete an errand, you’ll get a message like, "The skills
of the Archer were a great boon to us." As noted above, due to a bug in the
game,these messages do NOT actually reflect the best job for the errand!
Note that the figures you see after an errand may occasionally be off by a point
due to rounding weirdness.
[ Note: I haven’t yet added the two PSP-exclusive jobs, Dark Knight and Onion
Knight, to this chart. They’ll be in a future update. ]

%%%ERRAND LIST%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00err2
Below you’ll find a complete list of all the errands in the game, sorted by when
they become available. Most errands simply open up as you move forward through
the games. A few errands only appear during certain months of the year; these
are listed at the end.
"Gil Reward" rates about how much gil you can expect to earn from the errand,
on a scale from 1 star (the least) to 5 stars (the most). Note that if you
take an errand with a high cost but a poor Gil Reward, you may actually end up
with a net LOSS in money!
"Errand Type:" indicates the category of errand — such as mining, combat, etc.
This determines which jobs are good or bad for the errand. I’ve listed just
the best job here, and you can check the Errand Types & Preferred Jobs section
above for the complete list. (Where Mime is the best job, I’ve listed the next-
best job instead, since it’s kinda pointless to earn JP using the Mime job 😉 .)
"Bonus:" indicates the type of bonus received. See "General Information About
Errands" above for what this means.
"Bravery/Faith:" indicates whether the job has any kind of Bravery or Faith
preference. If your characters’ Bravery or Faith values match the jobs’
preferences, they’ll gain a little more JP and gil. See "General Information
About Errands" above for specific details.

XIII. RANDOM BATTLES
********************************************************************************
%%%OVERWORLD RANDOM BATTLES%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00over
In addition to the main story battles you encounter as you progress through the
game, you’ll also get into random battles as you move across the map.
Random battles occur at green dots on the map. Whenever you move onto or across
a green dot, there is about a 30% (3 in 10) chance that you will get into a
random battle.
Combat in random battles functions almost exactly like that in story battles,
with a few exceptions:
– You don’t have to deploy Ramza.
– Until reaching Lionel Castle in Chapter II, you may deploy up to 4
characters for a random battle. Once you reach Lionel Castle, the limit
increases to 5 characters for the rest of the game.
– The experience level of the enemies you fight in random battles in based on
your deployed characters’ levels. (In story battles, the enemies have a
fixed experience level that does not change even if you level up.)
– Any Guests on your roster will not participate in random battles.
– Battle Trophies are never earned from random battles, but you do still earn
Bonus Gil the same as in story battles.
– Story battles have mostly human enemies, but random battles have mostly
monster enemies.
Different locations on the map have different kind of random battle enemies. In
addition, the DIRECTION you enter the location also affects what kind of enemies
you see. For example, if you enter Mandalia Plain heading south from Eagrose,
there’s a chance you’ll encounter a Malboro. But if you enter Mandalia Plain
via Gariland or the Brigands’ Den, Malboros never appear.
The direction from which you’re entering also determines where your team starts
on the battle map. For instance, if you enter Finnath Creek from the west,
you’ll start at the top of the river, but if you enter from the east, you’ll
start at the bottom of the river.
Below, I’ve listed the types of monsters and human enemies that you’ll find at
each location, as well as a rough estimate of how often they show up on average.
COMMON : Encountered 50% of the time or more on average
UNCOMMON : 25% – 49%
RARE : 8% – 24%
VERY RARE : < 8%
These are averages, of course, so sometimes you’ll encounter 0 of a particular
enemy and sometimes you may encounter more than 1. For instance, if the Black
Chocobo is Uncommon at a particular area, on average you’ll encounter 1 Black
Chocobo every 2 to 4 battles (25% to 50% of the time). But, in a given battle,
you may see 0 Black Chocobos or you might even see 2 or 3.
(Enemies that only appear in the "special" random battles aren’t included in
this list; see further down for more information on the special battles.)
As you progress through the game, a wider variety of monster types will appear
in each location. Only a limited set of monsters appears in Chapter I. More
monsters are added at the start of Chapter II, and then even more at the start
of Chapter IV. I’ve listed the random encounters separately for Chapter I,
Chapters II & III, and Chapter IV.
Note that there are a few monsters and human jobs that are NEVER encountered in
random battles anywhere in any chapter:
Wild Boar Dancer Dark Knight
Bard Mime Onion Knight
Characters with special jobs or with enemy-only jobs also don’t appear in
random battles.
