#73  Is there somewhere between Dali and those battles where ethers can be stolen? I did sell some, but I'm guessing that may be a mistake unless I can steal or buy them between now and then. |

| | Glad to hear it. I'd hate to do the ice cavern again just to keep my ethers. Especially when I did the boss fight there twice today. The first time I attacked Sealion twice before hitting it with tidal flame instead of three times because I wasn't paying close enough attention. He of course countered with a back to back Tsunami & Blizzard combo that guaranteed my death. Anyway, I'm at Dali right now, but won't get to play again until tomorrow morning, so hopefully more updates then. I'll remember to buy some wrists before leaving Dali too so I can get some cash with the Cotton Robe trick after looking it up. Anything to give me a bit of an edge in completing this challenge. |

| | Played some more today. Not a lot, but I made it through Dali and the fights with Black Waltz 2 and 3 no problem. Headed to Lindblum, synthed a bunch of Cotton Robes to get me up to about 30,000 gil and then did the festival of the hunt. Zidane managed to steal the needle fork with a whole 14 seconds to spare (even managed to get Freya to win the hunt too, though it finished with Zaghnol very much alive) and now I'm ready to head out of Lindblum. Next stop is the Marsh to grab Quina then I'll spend some time hunting Chocographs before heading to Burmecia. |

 |  9,999! THAT'S ENOUGH FOR TONIGHT. I have some things to say about Thievery, though. Thievery I ran around the areas outside of Dali, Lindblum, and the Ice Cavern, and the area around Dali seems to be the best out of those three! I equipped Zidane with Mythril Dagger (for Bandit), Coral Ring (to absorb the Thunder spells), and Adaman Vest (to half the damage of Fire spells). At first, I took breaks after every 30 or 50 steals, but, eventually, I took breaks after every 80 or 90 steals. This is because, today, I realized that Zidane can steal twice from each Python or Carve Spider (sometimes more). This meant more steals per battle, and, the fewer battles I was in between saves, the less tedious the process felt! My rule was: if Zidane steals something other than a Potion from a monster (Hi-Potion, Ore, Phoenix Pinion, or Tent), he continues to steal from it until he does collect a Potion. Usually, a Potion is Zidane's first steal, though!  Last edited by Marshall Banana; 08-31-2009 at 07:04 AM.. |
