Easy wins have never been my style Posts: 719 Group: Admins Member #1 Joined: Jan 10, 2008 Gender Male	Item Invention Once you have reached Peterny you will be able to register with the Craftsmen’s Guild, it’s located on the West side of Peterny. There are two main factors involved when inventing as follows: Original Creation: Involves attempting creating an item from scratch. Specify Plan: Where you can combine materials/item’s etc in an attempt to improve the quality of the item, or combine items. Now, with that being said, there are a few important factors you must consider when creating an item, they are as follows. Price: This determines the base Fol cost of the item you wish to create, when trying to create an item you will need to get the Fol amount as close to the Price for the item you wish to create. And unfortunately you can only acquire it by pressing x to change the Fol cost; you cannot set an amount you desire manually. The actual cost of the item is 10 times more then the cost shown in the FAQ, the cost shown is how to create the item, the value of the item is 10 times more then what is shown (Eg, an item created at 1,000 Fol, is valued at 10,000 Fol). Rarity: Honestly I don’t know why this even exists, it doesn’t seem to do anything. Who cares how rare it is if it doesn’t affect rankings or creating them huh? Rating: This is of the most importance, your equal talent level must exceed this in order to create an item. These also relate to the points the inventors will get for their ranking, and will be shared if they are contributed to it. Inventor: This is who is displayed as the item creator per my game file. Of course there are highly likely to be other inventors that can also make the items shown, its there to aide in adding inventors that can potentially make the item in question. Invention Help Items Sometimes creating the item you wish may actually seem impossible, thankfully there are various invention help items you can find throughout the game. They will effectively raise your combined talent level per line by 20 for that particular item type. This can dramatically help you achieve the required Rarity level to create any of the items listed later in this guide. I recommend that you get all of these items and never sell them, as they are invaluable when trying to make items with a high Rarity. Refer just below for the items that aide each creation type, and where you will be able to obtain it. Talent Aide: Cooking Item: Keen Kitchen Knife Obtained: Purchased at Gemity for 55,000 Fol. Talent Aide: Alchemy Item: Alchemist’ Stone Obtained: Found in a chest at the Mosel Dunes. Talent Aide: Crafting Item: Cherubic Bust Obtained: Found at the Palmira Plains. Talent Aide: Compounding Item: Multi-Flask Obtained: Found in a chest at Arias. Talent Aide: Smithery Item: Smithy Hammer Obtained: Found at a chest at Arkives, upstairs of Flads house (Have to return after 1st visit to get it) Talent Aide: Writing Item: Enchanted Pen Obtained: Found in a chest in the Shrine of Kaddan, by using the Ring of Disintegration in a room which has massive formations sticking our from the wall on both sides. Talent Aide: Engineering Item: NC Program Disk Obtained: Found in a chest at Moonbase. Other Invention Tips Save Fol: There is no doubt item creation can be very expense, I recommend saving your game file just prior making any items, and should you fail many times consecutively when creating/refining items simply reload the game; in order to save a lot of your Fol. When you’re successful save your game so you don’t have to make/refine it again. Constant Failures: Sometimes it seems like you will attempt to make an item forever and it will fail again and again, it appears that some inventors simply cannot make certain items, if struggling vary your inventors trying to create the item in question, it may just be the difference it getting it to work. Easy Method: In time as the game progresses items will constantly be made by the other inventors, of course they are rarely the highest of quality of items. But it does happen occasionally, if you have the patience and just keep checking what’s being made and the shops you may well find one or two of these best items for sale! Best Original Creation Items Here is a list of some of the best items you can make in the game. Firstly will be the inventor recruitment items, in alphabetical order. Item: Adorable Kitty Doll Created by: Crafting Price: 241 Fol Rarity: 1 Rating: 2 Inventor: Fayt, Stanice To Recruit: Mayu Notes: Finally an inventor must item is relatively easy to make, you shouldn’t have too many troubles achieving this one. In fact on one of my plays it was made for me by another inventor, I just purchased it and gave it to Mayu. Item: Philosopher’s Stone Created by: Alchemy Price: 12 Fol Rarity: 99 Rating: 100 Inventor: Eliza To Recruit: Ansala Notes: Its Rarity as you can see is extremely high, making inventing it very difficult with low probability. Since Eliza’s talent level is so low pairing her with Misty Lear and any other inventor with a high Alchemy Rating is a must to try and create it. Item: Potion of Youth (Fake) Created by: Compounding Price: 5 Fol Rarity: 97 Rating: 65 Inventor: Cliff, Puffy To Recruit: Gossam Notes: Unless your really want to get all the inventors I really wouldn’t bother. It’s a real pain to make and Gossam pretty much sucks as an inventor. However if you must try pair the best remaining compound specialists with Cliff, it won’t be easy to make unfortunately. Either that or wait until post game and have Puffy help out with it, she appears to have a higher success rate with it. Item: Strange Book Created by: Writing Price: 5,400 Fol Rarity: 99 Rating: 65 Inventor: Count Noppen, Cornelius To Recruit: Osman the Sage Notes: Yet again a tough book to make, it also appears that Osman is the only one that can make some of the best Tomes in the game. The toil in making this is well worth it. Item: Ultimate Bomb Created by: Engineering Price: 180 Fol Rarity: 98 Rating: 80 Inventor: Fayt, Cliff To Recruit: Dejison Notes: This item is also a major pain to create, you will have to try many times to get it, I’d almost say not bother; as Dejison is a terrible inventor. However, he is needed if you want to get the great Izak. Meryl is one I’d recommend pairing with Fayt; the other is up to you. Now we move on too the most important, those that can help you in battle. They will be in order of - Crafting - Smithery - Engineering - Compounding - Alchemy - Cooking - Writing Best Crafting Creations Here will be a summary of the best Crafting items you can create, listed in rating order. These will be of the greatest importance in the game; some of these accessories can make battles much easier, particularly in post game events. Item: Boots of Prowess Price: 2,480 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 99 Inventor: Chilico Base Stats: 20 ATK, 20 DEF, 30 HIT & 10 AGL Bonus: +5%ATK/DEF (R1, +10% ATK/DEF, R2 +30% ATK/DEF) Stack: You can essentially equip 10 of these maximum to any one character, making the boost 300% ATK/DEF boost to stats (Equipment + character stats). Evaluation: Once refined to +30% ATK/DEF it is the ultimate stat boost accessory. They aren’t that cheap to refine, but are by far worth it as many would agree it’s the best accessory in the game. Alternate Find: It’s also possible to ‘bypass’ the original creation of the item if you do not have Albel in you’re party. Just keep fighting him and defeating him nearby Crosell late in the game, every time he will drop an unrefined Boots of Prowess! Rating: 10/10 Item: Ring of Erudition Price: 640 Fol Rarity: 99 Rating: 70 Inventor: Sophia Base Stats: 10 INT Bonus: +10% exp acquisition (R1, +20% exp acquisition) Stack: Your party can benefit from 5 of these in total per battle. Evaluation: With 5 all refined and added to a weapon (Laser Weapon recommended, as everyone can then use it) you can double your experience for every battle. That is something that can never be underestimated when developing your characters. Rating: 9.5/10 Item: Blazing Pendant Price: 380 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 30 Inventor: Chilico Base Stats: None Bonus: Recover HP of 1/20 damage of “element” attacks, also Recover MP of 1/10 damage. Stack: N/A, just one each is needed Evaluation: With this, and patient careful refining you can potentially turn all elemental damage into bonus HP & MP. Takes a long time to make, although thankfully doesn’t cost too much Fol, having at least one is very worthwhile, particularly for BT collection. Rating: 9/10 Item: Blue Talisman Price: 260 Fol Rarity: 98 Rating: 20 Inventor: Aqua & Evia Base Stats: +2 HIT Bonus: No HP damage 10% of the time, R1 No HP damage 30% of the time Stack: None, works with just one. Evaluation: As the name suggests, can nullify any HP damage completely 30% of the time, not a bad option to synthesize with. Although relying on it can be dangerous, fit it in with your style. Rating: 9/10 Item: Red Talisman Price: 260 Fol Rarity: 32 Rating: 20 Inventor: Balbados Base Stats: +2 AGL Bonus: No MP damage 10% of the time, R1 No MP damage 30% of the time. Stack: None, works with just one. Evaluation: As the name suggests, can nullify any MP damage completely 30% of the time, not a bad option to synthesize with. Although relying on it can be dangerous, fit it in with your style. Rating: 9/10 Item: Ring of Mental Power Price: 220 Fol Rarity: 85 Rating: 80 Inventor: Chilico Base Stats: None Bonus: +3% MP Regeneration at intervals (R1, +6% MP Regeneration) Stack: You will benefit from only 2 of these maximum (meaning +12% MP regeneration is the most any one character can achieve). Evaluation: Essentially the same as the Regeneration Symbol, although can be refined to have double the MP regeneration, since MP KO’s are highly possible this can aide in preventing them and also cover up high use MP battle skills. Rating: 9/10 Item: Bangle of Intellect Price: 300 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 20 Inventor: Aqua & Evia Base Stats: None Bonus: +10% INT Increase, +10% INT Increase. (R1 +30%, +10% INT), R2 +30-%, +20% INT, (R3 +30%, +30% INT) Stack: You can apply as many as you can fit, always boosting INT. Evaluation: As an accessory it essentially gives you a 30% INT boost twice, if Synthesized you could have a maximum of 8 single 30% + INT factors. For your dedicated mage Sophia (or Adray) it’s a fantastic accessory to equip, or synthesize with. Rating: 8.5/10 Item: Star Necklace Price: 4,100 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 80 Inventor: Chilico Base Stats: None Bonus: ½ casting time Stack: N/A, can equip only one (however can stack with “Quick Symbol”. Evaluation: As you well know symbol casting time is a pain, combine this with Quick Symbol to dramatically ease casting time, making Adray & Sophia more attractive options in battle. Rating: 8/10 Item: Amulet of Freedom Price: 600 Fol Rarity: 97 Rating: 50 Inventor: Fayt Base Stats: None Bonus: Prevents instant paralysis. Stack: N/A, just one each is needed Evaluation: Paralysis can often result in a quick death, being able to protect against this in some battles in invaluable to success. Rating: 8/10 Item: Anti-Freezing Amulet Price: 800 Fol Rarity: 98 Rating: 50 Inventor: Fayt Base Stats: None Bonus: Prevents the instant freezing state. Stack: N/A, just one each is needed Evaluation: Like the other immunities, preventing against instant freezing status at the right times can make the difference in battle, equip when needed. Rating: 8/10 Item: Anti-Incapacitation Amulet Price: 601 Fol Rarity: 96 Rating: 60 Inventor: Balbados Base Stats: None Bonus: Prevents instant death attacks Stack: N/A, just one each is needed Evaluation: Attacks like “Dark Sphere” will no longer be a thread with one of these equipped, in some battles this can clearly be ‘a life saver’. Rating: 8/10 Item: Anti-Stone Amulet Price: 700 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 50 Inventor: Fayt Base Stats: None Bonus: Prevents instant petrifaction. Stack: N/A, just one each is needed Evaluation: Petrifaction is just as dangerous as KO as well, prevention against when needed is beneficial for success. Rating: 8/10 Best Smithery Creations Smithery allows you to create some high quality Armor & Weapons, up until the standard end of the game, and even for synthesis purposes they are quiet useful. First here is the best armor you can make for each of your characters, in rating order. Item: Astral Armor Price: 4,530 Fol Rarity: 98 Rating: 59 Inventor: Cliff Base Stats: 140 DEF, 80 AGL Bonus: DEF+20, Immunity to petrifaction, Immunity to freezing, 30% negate special attacks by magic users. (DEF+20 can be duplicated 4 times) Suitable for: Cliff, Fayt and Roger Evaluation: Good defensive armor with the bonus of 2 immunities, excellent armor which can save the need of immunity accessories, definitely have at least one fully refined in your inventory if needed. Rating: 9.5/10 Item: Elemental Leather Price: 6,720 Fol Rarity: 99 Rating: 95 Inventor: Gusto Base Stats: 115 DEF, 90 AGL Bonus: DEF +5, Adds elemental defence ½ damage, for all 4 elements, (DEF +5 repeatable 3 more times) Suitable for: Albel, Maria, Mirage and Nel Evaluation: Not a bad armor, if you feel the need for more elemental defence worth of consideration at least, you may want one fully refined available if needed. Rating: 7/10 Item: Mythril Dress Price: 1,320 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 95 Inventor: Gusto Base Stats: 91 DEF, 30 AGL Bonus: DEF +5 (Repeatable 7 times) Suitable for: Peppita and Sophia Evaluation: Nothing special about this Dress, you can buy some that exceed this, if made early it will help a little though. Rating: 4/10 Item: Crystal Robe Price: 370 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 70 Inventor: Boyd Base Stats: 20 DEF, 25 AGL Bonus: DEF +5 (Repeatable 7 times) Suitable for: Adray. Evaluation: Well…the worst of the ‘best armors’, in fact don’t even bother making it. Adray really gets the raw end of the stick when it comes to Armor. Rating: 1/10 This will list the best weapons (Except Maria, hers is made by Engineering) you can make for your characters. While these generally don’t have any ‘bonus’ slots it is actually a good thing, as most of these can double as the best base stat weapons that have not already consumed some Synthesis slots. Post game weapons of course exceed them for power, but will take up synthesis slots and not be replaceable if you aren’t happy with your synthesis combination. They will be in alphabetical order of the character that can equip them. Item: Demon Slayer Price: 3,000 Fol Rarity: 99 Rating: 70 Inventor: Gusto Base Stats: 450 DEF, 20 AGL, 30 INT Bonus: None Suitable for: Adray Item: Claw of Judgment Price: 6,200 Fol Rarity: 99 Rating: 100 Inventor: Boyd Base Stats: 900 DEF, 45 AGL Bonus: None Suitable for: Albel Item: Mythril Gauntlets Price: 450 Fol Rarity: 94 Rating: 100 Inventor: Gusto Base Stats: 1,000 DEF, 38 AGL Bonus: None Suitable for: Cliff & Mirage Item: Veinslay Price: 400 Fol Rarity: 93 Rating: 100 Inventor: Gusto Base Stats: 900 DEF, 35 AGL Bonus: None Suitable for: Fayt Item: Ice Blades Price: 6,800 Fol Rarity: 99 Rating: 100 Inventor: Gusto Base Stats: 880 DEF, 45 AGL Bonus: Adds water based damage Suitable for: Nel Item: Damask Cape Price: 6,580 Fol Rarity: 93 Rating: 100 Inventor: Boyd Base Stats: 900 DEF, 45 AGL Bonus: Increases normal attack decision by 1 Suitable for: Peppita Item: Paladin’s Helmet Price: 400 Fol Rarity: 94 Rating: 100 Inventor: Gusto Base Stats: 1,200 DEF, 40 AGL Bonus: None Suitable for: Roger Item: Rod of the Evil Eye Price: 6,230 Fol Rarity: 89 Rating: 100 Inventor: Boyd Base Stats: 650 DEF, 40 AGL, 130 INT Bonus: None Suitable for: Sophia Best Engineering Creations This will include the some great healing support items, stun bombs & a couple of other useful items; these can be used often in tough battles to make the going much easier, especially for Battle Trophy conditions. First here is the best weapon you can create for Maria. Item: Particle Laser Price: 7,440 Fol Rarity: 99 Rating: 100 Inventor: Izak Base Stats: 700 DEF, 38 AGL Bonus: None Suitable for: Maria Next, are a set of healing devices, they are similar to that of Ripe, Perfect & Magical Berries, but have the bonus of being able to be made as you wish, as those particular berries cannot be purchased. Item: Healing Device Mk1 Price: 201 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 50 Inventor: Cliff, Maria Function: 30% HP Recovery (Whole party) Item: Healing Device Mk2 Price: 401 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 70 Inventor: Meryl Function: 60% HP Recovery (Whole party) Item: Healing Device Mk3 Price: 801 Fol Rarity: 94 Rating: 100 Inventor: Izak Function: 90% HP Recovery (Whole party) Next will be various stun bombs, these can be invaluable in stopping powerful enemies from using bit power attacks it used at the right time, Stun Bombs can be a great friend to you when you have a lot and use them well. These are listed in alphabetical order. No ratings apply here as its all stun + damage. Item: Durian Stun Bomb-R4 Price: 731 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 400 Inventor: Puffy Function: 6,000 MP damage, reduce DEF by 30% & stun to a group of enemies. Item: ES Hybrid Bomb Price: 231 Fol Rarity: 95 Rating: 70 Inventor: Fayt, Izak Function: 1,500 HP/MP damage & stun to one enemy. Item: ES Hybrid Explosive Price: 431 Fol Rarity: 92 Rating: 80 Inventor: Meryl Function: 2,500 HP/MP damage & stun to a group of enemies.

Item: Umai-bo Stun Bomb-R3 Price: 121 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 40 Inventor: Puffy Function: 8,000 MP damage, reduce DEF by 30% & stun to one enemy. Next are some miscellaneous Engineering items that can be of great aid. Item: Beguiling Device Price: 1,001 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 80 Inventor: Puffy, Meryl Function: 10% off shop prices, R1 20% off prices, R2 30% off prices. Evaluation: Excellent when trying to purchase Santa’s very expensive items on level 3 of the Maze of Tribulations. This one item can potentially save you up to hundreds of thousands of Fol. Rating: 9/10 Item: Soul Strengthening Device Price: 101 Fol Rarity: 92 Rating: 60 Inventor: Meryl, Vanilla Function: Spells cost 0 MP for 30 sec during battle, R1 0 MP for 60 sec. Evaluation: If you’re a high MP users with spells this can clearly give you a free pass to cast with no cost, handy at times. Rating: 7/10 Compounding With this talent you can make additional support items, such as restorative items and other support items. These are presented in rating order. Item: Might Tablets Price: 90 Fol Rarity: 1 Rating: 4 Inventor: Gossam Function: 20% ATK increase during battle, R1 40% ATK Increase. Evaluation: This can provide an excellent ATK boost during battle, great for tough fights, even better for BT conditions. Rating: 9.5/10 Item: Cinderella Tablets Price: 1,001 Fol Rarity: 99 Rating: 100 Inventor: Puffy Function: 10% off shop prices, R1 20% off prices, R2 30% off prices. Evaluation: Basically the same as the Beguiling Device, depending on what inventors you have this may be easier to create. Rating: 9/10 Item: Resurrection Mist Price: 210 Fol Rarity: 78 Rating: 10 Inventor: Louise the Diviner Function: Cures incap and restores up to 30% HP/MP (Party), R1 Cures incap and restores 60% HP/MP (party), R2 Cures incap and either restores 90% HP/MP (party) or 100% HP/MP (party), R3 Cures incap and restores 100% MP/HP (party) Evaluation: The same as the valuable Analeptics you can purchase, but means you can effectively stock 40 of them instead of 20. Rating: 8.5/10 Item: Resurrection Elixir Price: 140 Fol Rarity: 1 Rating: 2 Inventor: Milenya, Fayt Function: Cures incap and restores up to 60% HP/MP, R1 Cures incap and either restores 90% HP/MP or 100% HP/MP, R2 Cures incap and restores 100% HP/MP Evaluation: Like having some more powerful Fresh Sage on hand, can be very handy to have more for long tough battles, particularly on 4D. Rating: 8/10 Item: Faerie Elixir Price: 100 Fol Rarity: 84 Rating: 80 Inventor: Louise the Diviner Function: Spells cost 0 MP for 30 sec during battle, R1 0 MP for 60 sec. Evaluation: Same as the Soul Strengthening Device, but again may be easier to make depending on which inventors you have available. Rating: 7/10 Alchemy Which Alchemy you can make some rare materials, which are perfect for synthesizing to weapons, in rating order. Item: Orichalcum Price: 5,700 Fol Rarity: 100 Rating: 98 Inventor: Misty Lear Function: ATK +500, Survive on Fury when incap 50% Evaluation: You’ve probably heard about this one before, probably the most talked about item in the game. This can produce a massive boost to your ATK from around mid story; this can make battles a lot easier, in fact too easy. I would not recommend using this until you reach Universe or 4D mode, as it will take away the challenge of the game. Post game its potentially mathematically better to have Boots of Prowess as well I might add, and it of course also provides all important DEF as well. Rating: 9/10 Item: Dark Crystal Price: 210 Fol Rarity: 78 Rating: 10 Inventor: Louise the Diviner Function: INT +500, Chaos (attack affect). R1, INT +1,000 Evaluation: The ultimate synthesis item for Sophia & Adray, a massive 1,000 additional INT can make your Symbologists a fearful weapon in battle. Rating: 8.5/10 Item: Rainbow Diamond Price: 210 Fol Rarity: 78 Rating: 10 Inventor: Louise the Diviner Function: DEF +100, Recover HP of 1/20 damage of Fire & Earth attacks. Evaluation: Early in the game, particularly on the harder difficulties can be useful in providing greater defence, the best DEF boost you can apply to a weapon. Before Boots of Prowess or a high DEF rating this can be rather beneficial. Rating: 7/10 Cooking Cooking items are the worst you can create in the game, they are essential restorative items that can be used only outside of battle, such a waste of time I’m not even doing to fill this guide with the unnecessary junk. Cooking materials are easy to obtain however, so if anything it might be worth doing first to get used to inventing. But all of the items are basically garbage. Writing For the best tomes you can create with the writing talent click here for the battle skill evaluations, which includes all the best tomes you can create. That’s it; if you want to post any comments about the guide, or suggest some items that you feel really deserve to be included post them here.
