Tips
- Maria Usage: Maria is generally considered slow. If you use her, consider using a Decrepit Tome on her and setting Common Support Symbols as a support skill for her spells. Sidestepping is recommended for faster movement. Maria learns Critical Hit MP, which slightly boosts MP damage. She learns No Guard at Lv58.
- Weapon Crafting for Maria: Consider crafting weapons for Maria: Power Blaster (70 ATP, 580 F, 30 SP), Pulse Needle (120 ATP, 1280 F, 50 SP), or Photonic Blaster (160 ATP, 5950 F, 70 SP). The Pulse Needle is recommended.
- Accessory Crafting: Craft Stun Bombs. Try to create a Bangle of Accuracy, Blue Talisman, or Ring of Haste. Roger offers decent odds for crafting these. Refine the Bangle of Accuracy for 30% HP damage negation. Blue Talismans negate 30% HP damage, and Red Talismans negate MP damage. Refining the Ring of Haste can increase its effect up to 20%.
- Crafting Materials: For crafting materials before obtaining the Ring of Destruction (RoD), Bogle Soldiers in Duggus Forest are a source.
- Convert Damage Skill: A Tattered Tome can teach the Convert Damage tactical skill, useful against bosses dealing only HP damage.
- Workshop Location: Use the workshop in Peterny due to its proximity to the save point.
- Retail Rabbit: Buying from the Retail Rabbit in Peterny will not cause him to leave. You can purchase a Blaze Gun here, which can help boost Maria's skill levels.
