Hey everyone,

I'm playing the PSX version and I just beat the 4 crystals in the Elder's Tree. I was just curious how close to the end I am and what level I should be around by the time I get there (right now everyone's at level 28). Also, what are some of the main classes that I should master by the end?

Thanks!

Dude you're no where near the end, you're about half way I'd say. Also although it's worth Mastering most of the classes, the one's I'd recommend are Summoner for !Call, Ninja for Dual-Wielding, Ranger for !X-Fight, and the three other mage-types for at least one character each i.e. White Mage, Black Mage and Time Mage. Blue Mage doesn't count, and Red Mage is only advisable if you really want to be able to cast spells twice in a row.

Thanks for the tips. Are there any Blue Magic spells I should learn that I will absolutely use for any boss fights? Faris is my Blue Mage and has learned Aqua Rake along with 4 or 5 others, but the only Blue Magic spell I've ever used is Aqua Rake only a few times. Could I go without worrying about other Blue Magic spells?

I would recommend using a guide to identify and master Blue Magic. It is very difficult to learn spells from monsters in these types of games without using a guide. The problem with most guides is that they do not tell you where the monsters are found a lot of the time, and I prefer to have my Blue Magic in a step-by-step format because I really can't stand that type of magic!

I've never fussed with Blue Magic much in this game. I think it depends upon your playing style or if you feel the urge to "master" the game on whether or not you'll go through the effort of finding the blue magic.

In my very first playthrough I used Blue Mage, but then after that never bothered to use him again. I just didnt have the patience to learn spells. I prefer a Sorcerer actually

Death Claw, Level 5 Death, Aeroga, and 1000 Needles are Blue Magic spells that I remember using often.

Okay, I've made a little progress since my last post and right now I'm looking for a place to do some leveling and ABP gathering. I've just found my first lithograph at the Pyramid and obtained 3 weapons, although it wasn't easy. That Pyramid is one tough place to get through without having to use a Cottage every so often.

Does anyone have an idea where I could fight to gain decent ABP and EXP? I was trying around Mirrage Village because it has that pot that completely restores your party, but the enemies around there don't give exceptional EXP.
