You have to approximately sixty fruits from Trent (thebig tree at your house where you plant seeds). Trent will giveyou the Gold Seed artifact This artifact gives you land - Orchard.

Hint: Free Candies during battle:
During battle you can make Candies appear just by hittingthe enemy. To do this you will need two good "normal abilities,"such as Flip-Kick and Moonsault. Start off by using a Quick Attackand follow it up by using Flip-Kick. You should be followed byblue shadows of yourself. This means you are linking your movestogether. Keep using Flip-Kick until you are out of range. Then,use a Moonsault slash (Moonsault + Square) to backtowards the enemy. After about two to five successful Flip-Kicks/Moonsaultslashes, your character will pause and a Candy will appear. Thisis a great trick to use during No Future Mode, when you have basicweapons and armor, as it will keep you alive longer. Just makesure that the blue shadows keep following you and you will eventuallyget a Candy.

Hint: Items with value:
If during the course of the game you find your charactersLucre (funds) a bit low, go to the SS Bucaneer. Once there, makeyour way to the lower deck area and enter the left door on thebottom of the screen. This will put you in the forecastle. Hereand in the next room are the Polter Box enemies (which resemblea treasure chest). The Polter Box frequently drops three differentvaluable crystals. The Sun and Moon crystals each sell for 750Lucre. The Glow crystal sells for 1,000 Lucre. Go in and out ofthe room to bring the enemies back as many times as needed. Ifyou have not got the SS Bucaneer, yet go to the second floor ofthe Bone Fortress and fight the Kid Dragon at that location. Hewill ocassionally drop a Dragon Steak, which is worth 1,000 Lucre.The Kid Dragon will also drop Dragon Breath which is very usefulin tempering swords and sells for 300 Lucre.

Hint: Word translations:
In the town where you have to sell lamps for someone,you will encounter small caveman-type people that only speak withthe following words.

Dub: Yes
Dud: No, goodbye
Duba: You
Duda: Me
Dubba: Friends

Gug: All other creatures
Da: Light or stars
Ba: Night

Hint: Two player duel:
If you want to fight a friend, travel to Geo and goto the uppermost dot. Enter the building and go past Sotherbeeinto the basement. Continue down once more and talk to the GarlicGuy. You can fight against an NPC or a friend's character.

Hint: Forge and temper strong swords:
To forge either a one handed sword with an attack powerof 245 or a two handed sword with an attack power of 307 you willneed the following items.

One piece of Orihalcon (this method may work with other metalsbut the resulting weapon may be weaker). Note: There are apparentlymultiple types of Orihalcon ore in the game. They range in strength(all attack figures come from a one handed Halcsword) from anattack power of 28 or 35, all the way to 75. Which one you arelikely to receive depends on your character's luck level and possiblythe difficulty level of the game. Also having a pet Polter Box(a poltergeist class monster whose synch ability makes enemiesdrop rare items more often) in your party may be helpful.

Five Gold Coins from each of the eight Elemental Spirits (Wisp,Shade, Jinn, etc.).

Five Bottles of Dragon Blood.

Five Bottles of Holy Water.

One Vial of Dragon Breath.

Note: The following instructions will assume that a one handedOrihalcon sword is to be forged and tempered.

Forge your Orihalcon into the HalcSword with attack power 75.

Go to the "Temper a Weapon" option.

Start off by tempering your weapon with the Elemental Spirit GoldCoins. The order you temper your weapon with them is extremelyimportant. If done correctly, six of your elemental essence markerswill be active. If done in an incorrect order only four will beactive.

Apply the Shade Elemental Spirit Coins first. Temper the swordwith all five coins or until three Shade Elemental Cards (MysticPowers on the weapons status screen) appear and have been appliedto your weapon. This will raise your attack power by approximately10 points, raise the sword's Shade Essence Level to 4 and giveit the Shade Elemental Essence Marker.

Now that you have finished with Shade, apply the rest of the coinsthe same way in the following order: Salamander, Jinn, Dryad,Wisp, Aura, Gnome, and Undine. When you have done this the swordwill have approximately 140 attack power.

Note: If you want to try changing Plunge Attacks, now is the timeto do it. If you try it later it will negatively effect your attackpower and waste your materials.

Next, temper the sword with the five bottles of Dragons Bloodor until three God of War Cards have appeared. This will raiseyour swords bonus stats slightly and increase attack power.

Then, temper your sword with the five bottles of Holy Water oruntil three Cleric Cards have appeared. The first Cleric Cardwill lower your attack power slightly. Ignore that because thesecond will increase that attack power moderately and the thirdcard will boost it greatly, so that the swords attack power isaround 225.

Finally, to get your sword's attack power up to 245, temper itonce with a Vial of Dragon Breath.

Hint: General forging and tempering tips:
Mystic Power Cards seem to work best in threes. Forexample, where one Cleric Card would have a slightly negativeeffect on attack power, three greatly increases it. The God ofWar Card only gives a slight boost in raw power if one is used.If three are used it is raised by 10 (the God of War Card workswell on all types of Orihalcon Armor).

Plunge Attacks on your weapon can be changed. For instance, theSun Crystal's Card, Sun God (you may need three applications ofthis card in a row) will change one of your plunge attacks (onthe one handed Orihalcon sword) to Sunlight, which will stillonly do medium damage but will also be incredibly effective againstthe undead. Some items will change the amount of damage (frommedium to large, etc). Save before you experiment - you may getresults you do not like, and will want to load that saved data.

Hint: Forging a strong attack weapon:
First, forge a weapon out of any (good) material. Forexample, make a spear out of LorimarIron. Next, make sure youhave at least 3 silver coins of each element. You will also need42 Glow Crystals and 16 Chaos Crystals. You can find the Crystalsat the SS Buccaneer from the Poulter Boxes. It also helps to havea Poulter Box with you as a pet. You can sell the Sun/Moon Crystalsyou find to buy the Glow/Chaos Crystals you cannot find. For eachelement, use this order in tempering your weapon:

3 Glow Crystals
1 Chaos Crystal
2 Silver Coins
2 Glow Crystals
1 Chaos Crystal
1 Silver Coin

Then, add the last 2 Glow Crystals when you finish with the lastelement. In the example, it resulted in a LorimarIron Spear thathad 195 Attack power.

Hint: Best weapons and armor without tempering:
Go to Mekiv Caverns and move to the room with the egg(oddity). Go in and out when there is nothing in the room. Stayand fight the Land Dragon when it appears repeatedly. It willeventually drop Dragon Scales. Make a weapon or armor with it.It is possible to get a knife with a power of 89.

Hint: Polter Box quick items:
Standing near your Polter Box produces an "electric"bolt that appears connected toyou and your box's crystal. Thisshares the special abilities of you and your box. You will gainthe rare item finding ability, as long as that bolt is active.Note: you will not get experience while doing this.

Hint: Easy finding ability for monsters:
To get the finding ability of your monsters to 99 quickly,feed the following to them in order: Gold Clover, Pine O' Clock,Gold Clover. You can get 4 points on every level, and max outbefore level 36.

Hint: Learn how good your monster is:
To find out if your pet is good or not (in attacks,defense, offense, rarity, etc.), just go to sell the monster andlook at the price. If the monster is good, it can be sold at pricesover 300 Lucre. If it is not that good, it will cost less. Itwill then be your choice to keep it or not. You can also earna lot of money this way. Note: This cannot be done with eggs.

Hint: Demi-Human pets:
You cannot find Demi-Human eggs. They do not exist.You may come across a Demi-Human creature who offers to join you.Accepting the offer is the only way to get an Demi-Human creaturefor a pet. Once enlisted, these can be treated like any otherpet, and they take up one of your five pet slots. They will notjoin you if you already have a pet or Golem in your party. Youcan encounter a Chobin Hood in one of the random pathways in theJungle, a Mad Mallard near where you fight the Axebeaks in DumaDesert, and a Tomato Man at the entrance of Norn Peaks.

You can get a Succubus demi-human pet in the Fieg Snowfields.However, it will not join if you have a Golem or Pet with you.

Hint: Quick growing tech:
Walking about on the world map greatly increases thespeed that your Orchard and Trent will grow. Simply walk fromone end of the world map and back a few times.

Hint: Ignore Sproutlings:
At the beginning of the game, when you gain controlof your character, you can explore the house. Outside the homeis a Sproutling who gives you an artifact. However, you can ignoreit by trying to get out of the map without talking to it. Whenyou repeat this six times, Sproutling will begin the conversationimmediately. Note: If this is done, the "Sproutling"section in the Character Tome will not be filled in.

Hint: Hit a monster non-stop:
Hit a monster once and do not hit again until slightlyafter you would normally hit it a normally attack sequence. Iftimed correctly, you will repeat the same attack that was justcompleted. For example, if you are holding a staff, your attackwould resemble 1-2-3-4-rest-1-2-3-4-rest. However, if you timeyour hits slightly after each other, they will resemble 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-etc.This type of attack will also immobilize most monsters and Bosses(except when they are about to do a special move). You cannotdo this attacks that use Square.

Hint: Final Fantasy Adventurereference:
Sometimes during the game you will receive an itemcalled "Topple Cotton". Topple is the first town youvisit in Final Fantasy Adventure on the Game Boy.

There are also other items referring to Final Fantasy Adventure.Some of these are IshePlatinum, which refers to the town of Ish/Ishe,MenosBronze, referring to Menos, and WendelSilver, referring toWendel.

Additionally, the shopkeeper and some of the monsters resembletheir counterparts in Final Fantasy Adventure.

Hint: Final Fantasy reference:
In Geo, at the gates of the Academy Of Magic, thereis a little statue of the original Vivi, from the early FinalFantasy games. Stay to the left of the screen to see it.

Hint: Name changes:
Some characters' names differ from their Japanese versions.
