Alexandria Castle,when rescuing Dagger. Go to library,(3rd shelf down, you will see a (!) Start by challenging it to a fight.When the fight starts have Freya cast white wind immediatly. Only use 1 attack at a time to get the book to open (if the book opens & you hit it with a physical attack it will automatically close again)never use physical attacks on it. Use Amarrant & Freya as healers only. It's a good idea to have auto-potion equipped as well. Only use Vivi's fire spells & Zidane's thevery tricks on it. When the book opens & the blue head appears use fire spells to hurt it. The book will close again eventually. Use the same procedure to get it to open again. Focus on keeping your party alive & only hit it when you have an opening. Keep doing this until it dies & you will receive a ton of AP & EXP!

You might be thinking "Oh no! Not another boss!"
This game seems to have a boss fight ever few minutes, but some people don't know that the bosses carry weapons that you normally can't purchase yet.
Make sure you steal every Boss blind before sending them packing with a strong spell or slash. You get weapons that you normally can't buy until the next town or so, and that gives you more time to equip them and learn the new abilities that accompany each one. It also saves you a TON of money.

***This trick REQUIRES Adelbert Steiner to be weilding the Blood Sword (Reward from the stellazio coin lady in Treno after 4 coins).***
After Marcus and Steiner escape their bird cage, Steiner needs to run out of the room, but guards (Why are they all ladies...it's so weird) keep running after him and attacking. STOP! Let them fight you. The blood sword cures Steiner for the damage he hits. SO kill Marcus off, then just tap x for an hour and boom! You're crazy high level with a bunch of sword cards. I did it to level 30. If you have a controller with a turno option you can set that and just walk away.

After you kidnap Princess Garnet you crash and burn (literally) into a forest. Garnet is taken. Once Garnet is captured and you, Vivi and "Rusty" go out to find her. Take a moment and get 4950gil from the monsters. Then go back to the ship (Save) and talk to Cinna and purchase 99 potions. Go on, fight the evil plant boss, and you will be running away from hundreds of crawling plants. STOP!
Don't run away, stop and let them fight you. Attack them all and use potions as need be. When Vivi has first attack with groups of 4 use fire on all for a quick kill.
You can do this until you run out of potions, or get tired of it. I did it until level 10 and it makes the next part of the game so much easier.
When you first fight baku with marcus cinna and blank keep trying to steal from him and eventually you'll get the mage masher
Must be level 70+ to do this safely, lower levels can use weaker monsters. For the level 70's, get to popos heights, (above gizmalukes grotto), and walk so your right between the 2 forests. Turn autofire on the X button. Tape the X button down. Then tape down L1 and the left anologue stick taped down to the left. Zidane will now run in a tight circle and the x button is basicly being pressed continously, killing the grand dragons that appears there. Make sure that antibody is on, as well as auto haste and auto regen. Auto regen and antibody are mandatory or you will come back to a gameover sign.
I wont be held responsible for any deaths, it isnt a 'Safe' method. But try it sucessfuly over night will get you a good 10 levels.
Thanks and I hope it works for you.

To level up quickly follow me.
NOTE : make this when you have a plane!!.
1) First, get an item to learn auto reflect
2) Go to Oelivert and defeat the stones until all your party leraned auto reflect.
3) Then, fly to the 3rd continent and in some islands thar are there it's a city there go to the item maker and make a Black cap (something like that).
4) Equip it to Vivi.
5) Use Vivi's ability Reflect x2
6) Finaly Go outside that city and fight the Dragons.
7) Finally yo can fight it as normal or use Vivi's "ICE +" ability to your party. That would be reflected and re-directed to the dragon so he will make a demange of 9999!.
I hope it helped you.

When you get mobile, with the little ship, and your able to get on islands, go and fight Grand Dragons, Make sure you have auto reflect though, and make sure you have high HP and guard against stop, poison slow and blind. Just put it on autoreflect and the protect the rest of your parts cause he'll mostly use Thundaga and if he uses on all four of your party members if you have auto reflect on it will cast it back at him and damage him for a total of 9999. Do that a couple of times and keep your health up there and your levels will be flying by you. I was at level 100 in no time with all of them. Enjoy
When vivi is laying in bed before you talk to him climb up the bunk bed and get the gil then go down and talk to him.
Those stupid stone monsters are annoying, you don't give too much physical damage and it is murder in Olivert so before you go into Olivert stock up on sofy you don't get exp but you still get AP it is great on thoes stupid monsters that can summon your party to kill you.

If you want to find the Ragtime Mouse, I have a way that is sure to work.
Just fight in a forest, but make sure that it is your first battle in a forest after leaving a town.
This also applies for finding the friendly monsters. After you get into a fight with him, just enter and exit a town and do it again.
Choco cannot become a gold chocobo unless he became a blue chocobo.
There is a chocograph that points to a certain location(in the water in the mist continent).
I am not very sure of the exact location(I already forgot where). Anyway if you find that treasure,choco will become a gold one.
To anyone,
How do I go to Mognet Central?
