I'm pretty sure weapon skill level is calculated into the attack power number shown on the stat sheet. I know equipping accessories that raise a weapon skill level raises the attack # shown.
Totakeke said:
Those enemies did have an accessory that gave them some ice resistance (value 5, I don't know if this is a percentage or not), but that still wouldn't explain my Canopus dealing less damage as well, even though his attack value is 525 and he also uses bows like Arycelle. I really don't know what I'm missing here.
Hahaha yeah, what a hard guide to find. Not a single GS or other store in a big city had it, but I ended up finding it on another town 35 miles away and got my copy. They only had 3 in that GS...JLateralus said:
I have to say, the guide seems very nice, and it contains a lot of information and it's very detailed.

You've outed Denam as a Bakram.

I'll have to test it with a different character. The characters I'm using it on have it at a fairly high level (5+) and have equipment on that boosts the augment skill.

It does. Equipping the augment element that corresponds with your weapon can have a pretty big effect at higher ranks. I'm just not sure if it's worth it at lower skill level ranks yet.
The unit I tested it on went from doing 116 damage to 249 in the exact same situation. But that was with a high level augment light and several pieces of equipment that boosted the skill. Because of how much of a pain it is to level augment element, it's probably not worth bothering with outside of characters that already use magic, at least until really late game.

I see my Denam attack is capped at 999 and I was wondering about that.Basileus777 said:

Few questions...
1. How many chapters is this game?
2. I need some help with my Ninja...she's currently the same level as all the other characters, but her ninjitsu is incredibly weak. I'm not sure why or what I'm doing wrong, but every time I look to cast it, it's showing it will only do 1-5 damage...what am I doing wrong here? Advice?

Attack magic is going to do shit damage unless you set up your characters specifically for it. You need to put skills like spellcraft, and augment element on, and put INT boosting equipment. Unfortunately for Ninjas, their attack magic isn't really good enough to make it worth doing that. Thus the only really useful Ninjitsu magic are the status effect spells.
I love the last fight of the Cressida sidequest. Scads of enemies, a Guest unit to protect, five boss-type units, and best of all,
Though I noticed that there are a lot of units in the fight who look like they should be undead but actually aren't. Which is a bit of a mixed blessing since they don't revive on the one hand, but they also don't take extra damage from the all-Baldur loadout I fitted my dudes with.
it tells you the objective is to vanquish Nybeth, but when you do manage to bump him off it tells you "Ha ha, just kidding, you actually have to kill everything."

Denab is freaking expensive as hell to get. I'm almost broke. Time to kill off my generics for skills.

If you think the last dungeon sucks, stay the hell away from the Palace of the Dead and San Bronsa.

How long is san bronsa?
Basileus777 said:
No, I've been to Palace in the original. It's good for what it is supposed to be. I just want to get through the last dungeon out of the way and start using WORLD, but I foresee myself grinding my Octopi up another 8 levels so I can just plow through it super fast.
You can also leave those dungeons and keep what you got up to where you are, rather than pissing away all of your time if you get stuck.

Yaweee said:
No, you can't. After you finish Palace of the Dead for the first time it is possible to use guides to skip portions of it, but you have to find the ingredients and craft them. And enemies in the Palace of the Dead are always 2-3 levels higher than you, so grinding does nothing.
I actually had to go through the Palace of the Dead completely twice, because I fucked up with WORLD. I finished the game, went back, did the palace, and skipped around again. The thing is, the game doesn't remember what you did with WORLD unless you advance the storyline again from that point. And because the game doesn't give you the option to use the guides unless you've gone through it already, I had to do it all from the beginning again
to get Warren.
Basileus777 said:
You can LEAVE the dungeons though, right? They just reset? That's what I was referring to.
And 2-3 levels higher is still a lot better than most of my party is facing in the last dungeon.
And that you can't even use the guides if you did it from a different WORLD point, even if you've done it before, sounds like a genuine fuckup by the developers.

Christ, what an asshole.
Praise Jesus, my Amazon pre-order of the strategy guide just shipped, after being in "Shipping Soon" for about 48 hours. No Gamestops anywhere near me had it in, was starting to worry what was going on with this, anyone who had it pre-ordered might want to check their amazon order status.
Ok so wtf happened to my Octopus? I'm in the middle of Ch.3C and for a while there at the end of Ch.2 I felt like I could do reasonable damage with accuracy around 70% on boulder throw, but now all of a sudden most of my boulder throws went down to 20-40% accuracy.. wtf? I always had the melee accuracy skill for him and I don't think he gets the range accuracy skill. I'm about to ditch his ass from my main 10-12 for a more reliable damage dealer. Are Griffons or Dragons any better with their attack accuracy?
careful said:
Is it bad weather? Ranged accuracy dies in the rain. Also, pay attention to the ranged/melee accuracy modifiers in the lower right hand corner of the screen. It depends on terrain.
But generally, yeah, accuracy is the Octopus' weakness. You have to consider how much more frequently they attack compared to Archers, etc. Their Poison Rain is one of the best skills in for much of the game. Also, you could always just use the boulders as ways to spend turns to get in to melee range.
FFFFFUUUU could be the rain/snow... I usually don't pay attention to the weather.Yaweee said:
Also doesn't Poison Rain only work when the Octopus is in water? I know there's another skill to make pretend you're in water, but by the time you get enough TP for both skills, I imagined it wouldn't be worth it.
careful said:
Oh no, Poison Rain is worth it. Octopi have so much HP that they can run up in front, take damage, and get TP fast. 50 TP in Water, or 85 out of it essentially with Aquaveil. Also, Octopi get Tactician, which increases their TP regeneration right.
Also, check the edit above about Accuracy Modifiers on different terrain. The in-game tutorial notes "Some classes, such as Octopuses, receive greater Accuracy Modifiers on certain terrain"

Are there any other Aussies out there going slowly crazy waiting for this game to show up on PSN? It was meant to come at the same time as the EU store update and it was up briefly but pulled before I could get to it.
I keep checking the PS Store every so often in the vain hope it'll appear. Has there been any official word on when it'll come back to the PS Store?

Yeah that was a stupid idea for it to switch back. What's the process to unlock
Cressidia? I hate that faq on gamefaqs because it's based off the original and the names are off.

What's the typical level differential supposed to be for story fights? I'm having a hell of a time at the Oz fight against all of the armored templar guys. They're all level 14, my party is a mix of 12-14. Is that about normal?
I think my approach of going for as diverse a party as possible (ie. only one character per class) is screwing me.
