55 of any item:
This trick will allow you to get 55 of any item inthe game. It does not work for weapons, spellbooks, or armor.It can only be done for items that any unit can carry. Selectany unit, and fill that unit's items all the way except for thelast two slots. For example:
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Empty
Empty
Next, place the item you wish to duplicate in the very last slot.For example:
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Empty
Heal Pack
Next, remove one character from a unit that can carry only oneitem. You can check how many items a character can carry by lookingon the info bar above the character when you place the pointerover the top of the character. Now the items in that unit shouldlook like this:
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal leaf
Heal Pack
Next, go to the "Carry item" command, and remove thatitem which you want duplicated from the unit. When this is done,the item will look like this:
Heal Pack 55/01
However the last number, after 55, will vary depending on howmany you had before. Now, go to the "Item's command",and you will see the item you want to duplicate. It will looklike this:
Heal Pack 55/01
You must sell two more than the second number. For example:
If you had 55/01, sell three
If you had 55/02, sell four
If you had 55/03, sell five
etc.
The item should look like this:
Heal Pack 55/54
Now you can use 53 of that item, but make sure you save the lastone so you can repeat the trick. Note: If you exit the organizationscreen, the first number will disappear, so it will look likethis: Heal Pack 00/54.
Hint: Item duplication shortcut:
Follow all the steps up to the removing of the 1-ItemCharacter, but instead, remove a two item character. This willeliminate the trouble of having to remove the item from the unit'sinventory, and you can immediately sell the requisite amount togain the 55.
Hint: 99 of any item:
Follow all the original steps for the "55 of anyitem" trick. Stop where it you are told to sell 2 more itemsthan the second number:
i.e., If you had 55/01 sell three
If you had 55/02 sell four
If you had 55/03 sell five
Instead, just sell 58 of the item. This way you will end up with99 items. After you sell them it appear as 55/99. Exit the organizationscreen and re-enter it. When you re-enter the use item screen,you will have 00/99 items. This trick is also helpful when youneed to adjust a characters alignment. Use the Urn of Chaos tomake the Character Chaotic, and the Scroll of Discipline to makethem Lawful. Also if you want to just make money, sell as manyof the items as desired. When you go to the tens for the numberto sell, each zero after the 9 indicate that you are in the 100s-- once you pass the first 99, the double zero after that is 100.Then, 200, 300, and so on. After you are done, you can go to Albaand buy as many Annihilation books as needed. Note: It is bestto perform any item duplication trick with only one item in inventory.Also, save before performing any trick.
Note: You can just use the "55 of any item" trick, useor sell all but one, and when you have one left, sell two more.You get the 99 items to scroll back around. However, this onlyworks for one cycle -- make sure you leave one of your 99 itemsleft to repeat.
Hint: Get every item in any stage:
Get a Divining Rod, save the game, and go to a levelyou already completed. Use the Divining Rod to discover the locationof items, then restart, go to stage, get item, and repeat.
Hint: Unlimited money:
Note: This trick takes some time to perform. Followthe "Unlimited items" trick as listed above to get 55/54of that item. Sell 50 and you should have 55/04. Sell 6 of theitem. Now you should have 55/98. Go to sell, then hold Analog-stickUp as if moving the ones digit up, and move the Analog-stickUp/Left diagonally, and then hold Analog-stick Up again.If done correctly, the money should be going up, but not the tensdigits. When the money reaches 99999999, press A. Whenthe money reaches zero, it will go to 99999999 again, then tozero and stop.
Hint: Easy level-ups:
To perform this trick, you need to be in a battle.Immediately after you defeat your opponent, and before it displaysyour experience, rapidly press Z rapidly until the experiencepoints show up, then release. If done correctly, you will almostalways increase in level. Note: This has no effect on Bosses.
Use the "Item duplication" trick with the Hero Statuette.Note: always leave one statuette so you can repeat the process.

The lower your Chaos Frame, the more evil Yumilacts. Some characters (such as the Zenobians) will not join youif your Chas Frame is too low (they will also rebuke you). -Magnus'alignment has nothing to do with Chaos Frame, To get Low Alignmentcharacters, make them several levels above the enemy you are fighting,and make them fight "Holy" characters (such as Clerics,Platinum Dragons, Valkries, etc.).
