Walkthrough
- 1Ensure you have leveled up First Aid. Auto-leveling First Aid and Max Fury with Porcupines is highly recommended for effectiveness.
- 2In Peterny, use Chilico to create new accessories. Notable creations include Earring of Accuracy (220 cost, 40 refinement), Ring of Mental Power (220 cost, 80 refinement, 1200 Fol for 6% MP regen), Blazing Pendant (380 cost, 30 refinement), Berserker's Pendant (490 cost, 70 refinement), Ring of Animosity (700 cost, 70 refinement), and Boots of Prowess (2480 cost, 99 refinement).
- 3For weapon customization, consider items like Amulet of Freedom (4000 cost, for Fayt only), Ring of Mental Power (2400 cost, 6% MP regen), Blue Talisman (5900 cost, 30% chance to negate HP damage), Red Talisman (5900 cost, 30% chance to negate MP damage), Ring of Animosity (36,000 cost, Fury use -3, with exceptions for PAL Pep, Rog, NTSC Albel), Faerie Ring (40%) (45,000 cost, Battle skill HP use -40%), and Ring of Haste (20%) (90,000 cost, Movement rate +20%).
- 4If you are new to synthing, start with the cheapest factors first.
- 5Refining the Ring of Haste to 30% after synthing is more cost-effective than synthing it at a higher percentage.
- 6Refining the Faerie Ring to 50% is possible but tricky and not a high priority; 40% is generally sufficient. Avoid refining the Faerie Ring separately after refining the Ring of Haste, as Movement rate +30 has a higher value (270,000) than HP use -40% (120,000).
- 7The Ring of Animosity enables triple chains with specific attacks like Infinity Kick, Mirror Slice, Air Raid, and Goumashou. Maria may not need a Ring of Animosity or Faerie Ring if primarily in a support role. NTSC Peppita requires a Ring of Animosity for triple chains with Kaboom using Instanto Blast as fodder. NTSC Albel does not need one if using Kuuhazan as fodder. The Berserk Fury multiplier applies before Fury cost reduction gear, meaning Berserk and a Ring of Animosity can reduce some attack costs to 1.
- 8If you obtain the Victory Trophy, consider synthing a Ring of Mental Power and a Star Necklace into Sophia's double XP weapon. If you get the Victory Trophy early, a Blue Talisman is a better choice, ideally added before Ring of Effects. For an Aqua boost weapon, a Star Necklace is recommended unless you have the Victory Trophy.
- 9Full weapon customization similar to the examples may require around 2 million Fol. If short on funds, farm enemies in the Passage from Parch to Plenty, which can yield up to 18,000 Fol per battle.
- 10If farming is not desired, you can skip synthing Rings of Animosity and Faerie Rings, as they are not essential. The other four accessories mentioned are considered vital.
- 11For millions of Fol, farm the waterway at the Ruins of Mosel.
- 12Obtain Synth materials at Gemity: six from Team Battle Rank D, and four each from Runic Chess Lv4 and Lv10.
- 13Use Chilico, Peppita, and Mirage when creating Rings of Mental Power.
- 14Refine two Boots of Prowess, dedicating 2-3 runs per stage. In the post-game, five runs per stage are recommended. Consider equipping a Charm of Insight in your second accessory slot if status immunity is not required. Another Charm of Insight can be obtained from fighting Shriekers at Granah Hills.
- 15Boyd may create the Damask Cape, but it can be ignored if you have extensively customized the Lunatic Shoes.
- 16Fully refining a Blazing Pendant is a difficult and time-consuming process, potentially taking several hours. It is best approached as an ongoing project, grinding it periodically.
- 17Refine Medicine Bottles to gain Paralysis immunity without using an accessory slot, useful for the final boss and Gabe.
- 18Refine healing items such as Berry Potions, Aqua Potions, Fruity Potions, and Syrupy Potions.
- 19Consider attempting Rank B at the Arena, though Chimera can be challenging. It is advisable to fight Chimera normally first as it is the next storyline boss.
- 20A safe strategy against Chimera involves a defensive setup with Mirage or Fayt. Block its tail to make it float, then attack it in the air with Crescent Locus -> Triple Kick or Blade of.
