LGLT _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB OVERVIEW [JB00] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Jobs are side-missions that become accessible by proceeding with the story. The player will take on a mission, complete it, and gain a monetary reward. Completion may depend on certain factors, and failing to do them might not cancel the mission but will certainly give lower $$$ at the end. Other things worth knowing: � Wanted Monsters may appear during jobs � Monetary rewards can only be collected at guilds � Some jobs may appear only after completing others � Having less-than-perfect completion results in less stars on guild's list � Jobs may have a small window of opportunity, and can be missed forever � Merits do nothing, but are used in opening up Job #57, the "super job" _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: INDIGOS SEWER RESEARCH [JB01] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 2 Reward: 400g Listed: Indigos Available: When Lieza joins up in Indigos Best Outcome: Kill all slimes Starting this job is as simple as entering the Indigos sewers. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 04 Green Slime [10] | W | 20 | 08 | --- | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| A bunch of crappy slimes to beat up for two merits...well, better than some deals you'll be dealt. Use spells like Power Loss, Fire Storm, and others to squish 'em. This should be an easy feat, since you start on the bottom part of the map and can clog the passageway where most of them are. Don't forget that spears can hit two at a time! _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: GHOST HOUSE RUIN TOWN [JB02] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 2 Reward: 600g Listed: Indigos Available: Do 'Indigos Sewer Research' (or complete first job?) Best Outcome: Kill all monsters accompanying Baldal Once the job's taken, go to Ruin Town and enter the 'haunted house.' Enter upstairs and talk to the kid standing in the corner. A monster appears and says he's desecrated the dead by rebuilding a skeleton. The elemental then possesses the skeleton and it's murder time! |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 08 Baldol | F | 31 | 12 | Magic Shield, Charge, Self Bomb | | Lv 07 Elemental [4] | F | 27 | 12 | --- | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| Obviously, you don't want to use any fire-elemental skills here; physical attacks'll do. Use Power Loss and Ice Breath to lower the agility of the elementals, which can evade attacks with a bit more ease than Baldal. One of the Elementals dropped a Gladius for me, which is used as a component later on in item synthesizing -- try to get one! Defeat the monster (doesn't drop anything) and see just what's up with the child... _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: INDIGOS JEWELRY ROBBERY [JB03] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 4 Reward: 1000g Listed: Indigos Available: After Lieza joins up in Indigos Best Outcome: Defeat all enemies (do not let any escape with stolen jewelry) Talk to the jewelry clerk to start the mission. Make sure you've looked at the wanted poster list in the guild office, since the wanted monster Docsun shows up to steal stuff! |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 10 Docsun | D | 36 | 15 | Mind Buster | | Lv 09 Stone Golem [4] | - | 42 | 14 | Paralyze Wind | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| The first thing you'll want to do is secure the exit! Block it up pronto so that no monsters can escape with the jewels. Note that it doesn't matter how many display cases get busted, as long as no one leaves the premises. Once the exit's clogged, the enemies will swarm you, so it's a perfect situation to use Power Loss/Plasma Shock/Cold Breath in. Launch an offensive first thing because the golem enemies have a paralysis-inflicting attack, plus can hit more than one ally with physical attacks and do it diagonally! Lieza's Cure ability (LV2) should help a lot here, if you get paralyzed. Try to swipe that Ruby item, too, which gives +3 DEF and is a component in making a LightRobe later on. Also, Docsun will NOT attack if he cannot get access to that large gem display case and won't give the retreat order; however, his cohorts will still head for the exit once they're freed up. Elc can block it in three turns, since Docsun doesn't move his first. The police arrive afterward, but things don't get hectic. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: BARNS' LOST DOG [JB04] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 3 Reward: 800g Listed: Indigos Available: After Lieza joins party in Indigos Best Outcome: Kill all monsters and get the dog After accepting the job, talk to the bespectacled man standing in front of the Indigos Bar. He wants you to find his lost dog, which is somewhere in town. Go down into the sewer to find some undead monsters that want to fend you off...so they can eat poochie... |������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������������| | Lv 11 Ghoul | D | 36 | 16 | Throw Head, Self Bomb, Paralyze Wind | | Lv 10 Zombie [4] | D | 34 | 15 | Poison Wind | |__________________|___|_____|_____|________________________________________| Luckily, this isn't a "save the hostage" mission -- the enemies all target your group first-off. Sadly, all have the 'Paralyze Wind' attack and aren't afraid to use it every once in awhile. Use area-effect spells/skills like Power Loss, Plasma Shock, Cold Breath, etc. to murder 'em, since most will be coming up from the SW corner of the map towards you. Just stay apart so that their paralysis attack can't hit more than one person and this won't be so hard -- just make sure to deal the finishing blow ASAP when they're left with 1 HP! Return to the surface with the dog and talk to the green-overalled kid who is standing by the bar, now. He'll say that Mr. Barns waited as long as he could, but had business abroad -- he wants Elc to take care of it 'til he gets back! Four 'Doggy Treats' (not a real item) will be handed over as well. When you can return to Elc's apartment in Prodias, the dog will end up going there. ...At least Barns didn't forget to pay the guild. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: WEIRD SEWER SOUNDS [JB05] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 6 Reward: 1200g Listed: Indigos Available: After Yagos Isle events Best Outcome: Defeat all monsters with no ally casualties Enter the sewers to start the battle. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 18 Piers Beronica | D | 47 | 57 | Charge | | Lv 17 Skeleton [4] | D | 52 | 24 | Refresh, Mind Buster | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| This may be a teency bit trying with only three party members, but if you stave off on doing it until the end of Gallarno's House, Shu and Shante will be in the party. Cold Breath, Strike Power/Power Loss, and spear attacks'll bring these doofuses down. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: INDIGOS WHISKEY DELIVERY [JB06] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 3 Reward: 1000g Listed: Prodias Available: Can do immediately after Yagos Isle events Best Outcome: Defeat all monsters Apparently, this job can't be completed until Shante has quit hanging around in the bar, because this temporarily halts traffic to the bar until then. Talk to the Prodias barkeep and head towards Indigos' tavern. After picking up the goods, its time for an above-ground FIGHT CLUB! |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 22 Fighter [3] | W | 63 | 30 | Charge | | Lv 22 Mighty Fly [2] | L | 62 | 30 | Flying Smash | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| Another waste of time to go through; luckily, the Fighters are all water-type so Elc can rip through them with ease. "Flying Smash" can do 12-15 damage to one target but isn't much to crow about. When the battle ends, Elc goes back to the Prodias Bar (automatically) to deliver the goods. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: SEARCH FOR MISSING CHILD [JB07] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 2 Reward: 800g Listed: Prodias Available: After events at Yagos Isle are complete Best Outcome: Find the kid on the very first try This is a non-offensive one, so it's pretty easy to do. Talk to the man in the Prodias bar to get a 'description' of the kid, who looks ugly and has a bad posture. Enter Elc's apartment building and snag the kid who's standing in the hallway for the correct pick. If you pick any other similarly dressed kid around town, this affects the 'rating' of the job completion. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: DOLL COLLECTOR IN RUINS [JB08] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 6 Reward: 1200g Listed: Indigos Available: After Yagos Isle events, finish 'Weird Sewer Sounds' job Best Outcome: Defeat all monsters + Piers Beronica alive Head to Ruin Town and find a bunch of children-like statues (creepy!) that are blocking the way upstairs. The 'Restart' puzzle-reset ability will now be active. Clear the way and enter the second floor to find Piers Beronica from before. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 18 Piers Beronica | D | 54 | 25 | Mind Buster | | Lv 17 Soul Flame [4] | F | 63 | 26 | Power Loss, Death | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| A grown man making little-girl dolls...yeah, it screams pedophilia. And we all know the best treatment for creepy guys like this -- STABBITY! Piers has lost an ability since last time we saw him, but the Soul Flame allies know a Death spell, so those are the main targets here (not that Piers can be targeted). Doing this early on can be a little hard since the flames can hit for 18+ dmg per hit, and if they gang up on anyone, that's curtains. Waiting until after Gallarno's House events are done is better since Shu and Shante will join up for the game's duration. Physical attacks are really the way to go here. The Soul Flames can also drop Tem's Grass, too. The after-battle convo is great: Piers: "Why are parents getting nervous?" Elc : "Because you're an untrustworthy freak." _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: DANGEROUS TYPES IN RUINS [JB09] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 6 Reward: 1300 Listed: Indigos Available: Complete 'Weird Sewer Sounds' + 'Doll Collector in Ruins' jobs Best Outcome: Defeat Piers Beronica Back to Ruin Town... |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 18 Piers Beronica | D | 54 | 25 | Magic Shield, Rob Mind | | Lv 17 Robber [4] | - | 52 | 24 | Charge, Swing | | Lv 16 Fighter [3] | W | 49 | 22 | Charge | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| Piers actually DID become a monk, in a sense, and is now preaching all kinds of crazy credo to some baddies. Doing him in wins the battle, which isn't so hard with three people; it's even easier with five. Cold Breath and Power Loss are about all ya need here, if you don't want to bumrush the 'boss'. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: 3AM PIANO AT THE BAR [JB10] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 5 Reward: 3000g Listed: Indigos Available: After finishing events at Gallarno's House Best Outcome: Defeat all monsters Talk to the barkeep to start this all-nighter... |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 21 Demi Monk | D | 55 | 51 | Poison Wind | | Lv 20 Barbarian [4] | E | 73 | 28 | Ground Shield, Charge | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| These jokers start in the NW corner of the room in a close formation, so any five-square magic/ability can hit most of them; plus, it's easier to keep 'em close together since they won't be able to move away, either through movement constrain or the AI. The Demi Monk's Poison Wind attack can do 15+ dmg in the normal plus-shaped formation, so don't cluster together without some curative means nearby (or, use Shante's Silent ability). The other enemies are nothing to worry about. [Demi Monk may drop an Earth Curse item.] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: MONSTERS IN VACANT HOUSE [JB11] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 4 Reward: 2000g Listed: Prodias Available: After events at Gallarno's House Best Outcome: Defeat all monsters in one go; don't go back to heal Go back to Gallarno's House -- now called the Vacant House -- and meet with the employers. The woman will let Elc rest if he wants to. This place is full of monsters. Here are the monsters you'll have to fight. * Lv 20 Ghoul (x5) * Lv 20 Ghoul (x2), Lv 20 Vampire Bat (x3) * Lv 20 Ghoul (x3), Lv 20 Vampire Bat (x2) There are six fights in all: one for the main hall, one for Gallarno's old office, and four for the adjacent hallways' rooms. Once all are gone, return to Dex and the mission's over. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: PROTECT HOUSE FROM BURGLARY [JB12] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 4 Reward: 2000g Listed: Prodias Available: Complete 'Monsters in Vacant House' job Best Outcome: Annihilate all monsters in the four rooms Return to Mr. Dex' house to protect it from burglary. Each of those four tiny rooms off the main corridor have treasure chests in them now. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 21 Werewolf | w | 60 | 30 | Expand Range | | Lv 21 Doll Master | D | 61 | 29 | Mind Buster | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| These are the only monsters that appear in each room, with each type having 2-3 types, but always five in all. Pretty easy stuff -- use Lv2 Power Loss and Lv2 Plasma Shock to kill 'em en masse. Once all four rooms are cleared, the job's over. And, no, Elc cannot steal the treasure for himself. :p _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: ROBBER'S REVENGE [JB13] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 4 Reward: 4000g Listed: Prodias Available: Complete 'Protect House from Burglary' job Best Outcome: Defeat all monsters Return to Dex's house once again to find a little soiree going on... |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 21 Kobold | E | 76 | 30 | Swing | | Lv 21 Werewolf [2] | w | 60 | 30 | Expand Range | | Lv 21 Doll Master [2] | D | 61 | 29 | Mind Buster | | Lv 21 Mad Puppeteer | D | 55 | 51 | Power Shoot | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| The Kobold/Mad Puppeteer enemies start at the top of the stair, giving the party time to use Speed Up/Strike Power early on. Once that's done, harness the guards' bodies' positions and use them for cover. Silent and Power Loss work especially well here, given the probability of your characters' semiweak armor. They don't really have a compunction for using their skills, but still doesn't detract from the fact that they CAN...and who wants that? Oh, and don't forget about Plasma Shock. Shu's should be in the frontlines attacking, but if a Lv2 skill can hit four or more enemies, have at 'er. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: FIND MISSING SON [JB14] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 3 Reward: 1000g Listed: Ramul Available: When Lieza first comes to Forles Best Outcome: Locate son Talk with the widow at the comedy club next-door to the guild to learn that her son is nearby, apparently. To locate him, head onto the plateau south of Holn and go to the east edge, where a small area called 'Forest Edge' can be found. Watch the scenes there and that's it! _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: CATCH MISCHIEVOUS BOY [JB15] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 3 Reward: 1500g Listed: Ramul Available: When Lieza first comes to Forles Best Outcome: Catch boy all 8 times + don't talk with any lookalikes A distraught woman will ask Lieza to catch her bratty son who's had a sudden rebellious streak...basically, a hide-and-seek game in Ramul. The boy wears a red baseball cap and a yellow shirt, so he really sticks out when found. Here's how to do it without any casualties (^__^): � Near the inn in plain sight � Near the guild's street � Near weapon shop, obscured by tree � Near inn, by flowershop lady � Near newspaper seller, obscured by tree � At northernmost dead-end street � Standing under architecture in house east of weapon shop � Completely obscured by tree nearest weapon shop Talking with any red-capped, yellow-shirted lookalike once the hunt's began will result in a substantially lower reward (375g!?)...so don't. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: Stop the Terrible Gas Leak! [JB16] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 7 Reward: 3000g Listed: Houfion Available: After speaking with Moris in Houfion Inn Best Outcome: Stop the leak via the wall switch The client's located at the Heap Cave-In, which is actually east of Houfion past the raised train tracks. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 38 Skeleton Knight | E | 127 | 51 | Charge, Plasma Shock + ??? | | Lv 38 King Dragon | F | 131 | 50 | Acid Breath + ??? | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| The red gas has pervaded sections of the tunnel and reduces MP each turn, so bring some Recover Fruits. The monster duo listed above will appear for any monster battle, and for all intents and purposes, can often be fled from. At the first fork, continue right 2 screens to find three items: � WindMask [Lv 2/12, Atk 11/23; Wind-Elemental] � Smash Pads [Lv 8/12, Atk 15/19] � Palo's Nut [Lv 1/1, Def 1/1; Increase Agility] � Power Unit 05 [Lv 0/0, Def 0/0, Increase Most Stats; Diekbeck-only] None of the weapons are used in the Combine Shop, but the Power Unit is worth the detour. Backtrack to the first fork, going left this time, and follow the linear screens until a dead-end room with another monster battle. Finish it up quick, flip the wall switch to stop the gas. Monsters haven't disappeared yet, though. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: GUARD THE RECYCLERS [JB17] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 5 Reward: 2000g Listed: Houfion Available: After speaking with Moris in Houfion Inn Best Outcome: Bobby is not attacked once Meet with Bobby at the recycling plant in town and the mission will start up automatically. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 44 Rabid Bat [2] | L | 111 | 58 | Dark Shield, Rob Mind | | Lv 50 Black Dragon | D | 167 | 65 | Poison Breath | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| The goal is to ensure that Bobby isn't harmed whatsoever, so Shu should be in punching bag mode. Zoom right into the thick of things, use Speed Up, and make the ninja available for the beatdown. Keep away from Bobby but not so far that if any monster slips by, Shu can't get within attacking range. The Black Dragon uses Lv2 Poison Breath, too, which can be annoying also. Spam Random Attack when they surround Shu and try to get by with lots of counter- -attacks. It's crucial that Speed Up be cast since the bats are quite fast and _MAY_ get two turns to Shu's one, especially after Bobby jabbers over "grand sockets" and whatever junk he's pocketing. Bring lots of Recover Fruits for this one. After five turns, the battle automatically ends. Killing the enemies isn't necessary, nor does it affect the battle reward. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: MONSTERS' FOOD!? [JB18] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 8 Reward: 4000g Listed: Houfion Available: Complete 'Stop the Terrible Gas Leak' & 'Guard the Recyclers' Best Outcome: Prevent monsters from spawning in back room (puzzle) To start, simply trek to THE HEAP CAVE-IN, not 'The Heap' as the job says. If they didn't want people to be confused, maybe they should've thought of a better name, huh? Anyway, enter inside, hang a left at the bifurcation, and the missing guard will be standing there near a new door. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 41 Skeleton Knight | E | 136 | 55 | Charge, Plasma Shock + ??? | | Lv 41 King Dragon | F | 140 | 54 | Acid Breath + ??? | | Lv 20 Ghost Knight | - | 78 | 27 | Charge + ??? | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| Like before, the above battle takes place in the monster zones and can be ran from if needed. Continue along until the first fork; go right into a room with two chests: a Conf Ancient Spear [10/14, 12/15, Inflict Confusion] and [Cure-All]. Double-back a room, continue north a ways and eventually two more chests will be in an empty path. The Stripe [6/10, 13/17] club and Cloak [2/14, 6/15] aren't too awesome, and aren't used in the Combine Shop either. Continue on the straightforward path until arriving at another fork -- ignore the west dead-end path and go north into a puzzle room. The weird icon-filled tiles will summon a group of six Ghost Knights into battle, and the solution to this is moving the columns in front of the northern gates to prevent this from ever happening again. It's quite simple to do, but the general rule of thumb is to block the left door and work right. When all six are done, Shu finishes up. However, he'll still have to hoof it on out, so that's where the ample healing supplies comes in. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: CATCH THE SCRAP THIEF [JB19] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 8 Reward: 4000g Listed: Houfion Available: After finishing Main Chimera Lab events Best Outcome: Defeat all monsters Talk with the town Recyclers for the battle to start. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 47 Acid Slime [6] | E | 153 | 63 | Acid Breath, Self Bomb | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| Use Arc's Weak Enemy ability to lower a large amount of groups' stats, and let everyone dogpile on the li'l slimeballs. To further cement their own mediocrity, they may drop Herbs. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: SLAY THE NOCTURNAL MONSTERS [JB20] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 5 Reward: 2000g Listed: Houfion Available: Complete 'Catch the Scrap Thief' Best Outcome: Defeat all monsters |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 50 Jackal | L | 163 | 66 | Holy Breath | | Lv 48 Werejackal [5] | E | 120 | 63 | Speed Up | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| The hard part isn't killing the enemies -- anyone with a half-decent party and an affinity for spamming Arc's Weak Enemy can get by. No, the hard part is getting Jackal to drop its rare Tri-Shot shoe which can be combined into Dagger Boots on Yagos Isle. To gauge it's difficulty, let's just say it took over thirty resets to get it. I recommend stealing its crappy held item 1st, then trying to get the drop. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: FIND A NEW HOME [JB21] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 6 Reward: 3400g Listed: Paysus Available: After Sania joins party at Amaidar Temple Best Outcome: Locate home for geezer Talk with the old man at the restaurant's bar and he'll want to find a house somewhere warm -- that's it. Although this can be accepted early into the Greyshinne events, it can't be finished until after them when the Silver Noah can be used freely to explore the world. When it comes time to finish this mission, fly to Zariban's town of Elzark. In the northeast, one of the ladies wants to sell her house, and will gladly sell it to the man from Greyshinne. Fly back and tell him the good news to complete the mission. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: PLAY CUPID [JB22] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 7 Reward: 4000g Listed: Paysus Available: After retrieving Amaidar Scripture at Noyam Plain Best Outcome: Retrieve jewelry for man The client in one of the inn's rooms has requested a hunter to help him 'get the girl' he likes.

Like the previous outing in this store (which has gotten a lot bigger due to renovations), the enemies' goal is to take as many jewels as they can and escape whence they came. Sending someone with great move -- Shu's the best candidate -- north to block the entrance is the best idea, since the enemies often don't bother attacking if there are jewels to steal within range. The Golem Master has a Recover Fruit to steal, but nothing of use. As long as no enemies manage to leave battle -- the directive's only given after the golem master has stolen from the three main display cases -- property damage is irrelevant. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: EXTERMINATE WEAPONS THIEF [JB24] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 4 Reward: 1000g Listed: Prodias Available: After gaining control of Silver Noah [post-Greyshinne events] Best Outcome: Defeat thief Visit the smith shop in Prodias to start the events. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 47 Boogie Man | W | 117 | 145 | Nice Catch, Diamond Dust | | Lv 47 Gas Cloud [4] | w | 118 | 61 | Petro Wind | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| Mundane battle: the enemy starts in a horribly opportune position for Lv2 magic, and anyone can weaken them within a single turn, probably.

Go there automatically and the archaeologist will head to a part not on the normal map. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 63 Dark Hemo-ji | - | 201 | 83 | Hemo-ji Finger, Paralyze Wind | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| � #1 - Dark Hemo-ji [3] ---- TIME LIMIT: 5 Turns � #2 - Dark Hemo-ji [4] ---- TIME LIMIT: 7 Turns � #3 - Dark Hemo-ji [5] ---- TIME LIMIT: 5 Turns The scientist explains that he has an "allergy to danger," which is a polite way of saying "keep those dang monsters away from me or your pay suffers"! In other words, the monsters will approach him to stop him from fouling up the sacred location, and the hunters need to stop them. To clarify, the scientist will leave battle angrily if an enemy approaches a grid square adjacent to him or the rune, so that's a decent-sized rectangle they can't enter. There will be a counter in the lower-left corner displaying the number of turns the monsters must be stalled. The battle only ends when the # of turns has depleted, NOT if all enemies are defeated! After successfully completing a battle, the bodyguards leave Nien Forest; to go to the next archaeological ruin, simply re-enter and confirm the leader's request. SLEEPING IN AJARL IN-BETWEEN BATTLES DOES NOT AFFECT ANYTHING, JOB COMPLETION OR OTHERWISE. In fact, you'd be crazy not to rest up in Ajarl...! BATTLE #1 ��������� The terrain in the southern edge of the ruins is particularly good at keeping enemies from moving, as there are stone pillars that can't be jumped over -- this forces enemies to bunch up. The solution to bunched-up enemies? Using Arc's Weak Enemy, of course. The opposition will try to go towards the tomb- -raiding archaelogist first and foremost, and may not even use any attacks if that leaves them out of range. Any status effects -- paralysis and sleep are the easiest to use, probably -- that impede progress will be useful here. A good way to stop enemies from proceeding north is to block an intersection, rather than use two allies to stop a foe from jumping over. What this means is instead of standing between two pillars, move into that position and go one tile north or south -- perfect! This screws up the enemy movement pattern enough that time can easily be bought. BATTLE #2 ��������� This time the scientist's dig is in the north, and the enemies approach in pairs from the south and east. The easiest way to defend is from the south, which has more maze-like portions, whereas the eastern way is more open and a lot easier to breach. Thus, send powerhouses like Tosh (who has paralysis- -inflicting attacks) toward the two in the east, with another comrade; two more can stall those in the south. Those in the east may have a hard time, so if strategic retreat is needed, put three people around the scientist's position (west side is blocked by a rune) and protect the monsters from going to an adjacent space. Remember that the scientist is not targetable in-battle, so any attacks' area of effect will not affect him whatsoever (or the job completion)! As the hemo-ji in the south are defeated, the allies who took care of them can encroach north and help defend the archaeologist easier. BATTLE #3 ��������� This one's horrible defenses makes it the hardest one of them all. Really, the only feasible way to do this -- since the enemy attacks from all sides -- is to bring in multiple allies who know sleep/paralysis skills and have them spam it. With most of the enemies knocked out (paralysis preferred), pick 'em off one by one. Of course, bungling through with pure muscle is possible too, but usually gives hit-and-miss results. Obviously, Gogen's Dream Knock skill is an easy one to use, just as some generic monsters' skills (Confusion, Paralyze Wind, etc.) can be nice. As an alternative, Mother Claire can give people -- Sania in particular -- a bunch of new status-inflicting abilities if they're of the appropriate level. Poco can use the the Claire-given Jump Low skill to decent effect, just as anyone with the Trans Enemy (Sania, Lieza) ability can be very useful also. Sometimes the AI doesn't go straight for the scientist, and can give a break now and then...just don't count on it. The two hemo-ji in the SW and SE take longest to get to the ruin center, so taking out the west/east/south ones with the most powerful attacks (or status effects) is really the best course of action. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: MONSTER KIDS!

Once found, a miner can only be carried back one at a time! All in all, if the players harnesses some strategy, the minimum rocks needed to be destroyed in order to save all (10) miners is 8! Although there is a tone of urgency about this mission, there isn't any kind of "hidden" time limit -- breaking too many rocks is what buries the chances of completion here. Also: no monsters are in this place! Ain't that a change. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: MONSTERS IN AMAIDAR [JB48] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 5 Reward: 2000g Listed: Paysus Available: After completing Oil Rig events Best Outcome: Monsters defeated The Amaidar monks are fearful of the monster population's resurgence, so a job is posted to take care of 'em.

Elc will have to appoint the person to search -- pick someone strong, because after it's found (east of the upper-middle small skeleton; look for small twinkle), there will be a fight to do! |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 80 Barbarian [2] | E | 253 | 103 | Ground Shield, Charge | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| The person who was sent to find the ring will have to fight these 2 brutes all by his/her lonesome.

There's no client to meet, so simply head to the cave. In the 2nd screen, continue to the southeastern passage that leads to an adjacent room where a Leviathan enemy spawns. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 84 Leviathan | W | 269 | 107 | Cold Breath | | Lv 79 Serpent [6] | W | 192 | 100 | Ice Shield, Blizzard | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| The dragons, surprisingly, have pretty bad DEF, so Weak Enemy rips 'em a new one pretty easily.

Talk with the barkeep and then the wussy geezer in the basement. Upon coming upstairs, the bandito everyone's raving about will cause a scene and "takes it outside" with Arc. For the upcoming gunfight, Shu will be the challenger. The rules are simple: walk five paces back to back and at the count of five, turn and shoot. The winner lands a shot, the loser gets shot -- simple! To shoot, face the opponent and quickly press R1 to squeeze the trigger. As Gomez says, be too slow and Shu's fajita mix! Basically, turn as fast as humanly possible when a villager says the "5" count and fire. Plug the guy with a bullet on the first try and it's the highest rating! Once Shu wins, this foolish goofball can be refought and reshot at leisure as he is rechallengeable (stands in front of bar). _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: FIND THE MISSING BURRO [JB54] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 6 Reward: 5500g Listed: Morea Available: After getting permission to enter God Tower Best Outcome: Donkey found and saved A female local near the bar has lost her donkey. Talk with her, then the two kids near her, then with her again (she doesn't identify Elc as the helper until then for some reason). With the information that the donkey's left the town, head to Madeta Hill nearby. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 72 Earth Giant | E | 230 | 93 | Earthquake | | Lv 72 Poison Cloud [4] | D | 174 | 92 | Poison Wind | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| After smokin' the enemies, talk with the woman in town again to complete the job! _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: THEFT AT SENOR GENERALE'S [JB55] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 5 Reward: 4000g Listed: Morea Available: After getting permission to enter God Tower Best Outcome: Stolen goods recovered Here's one of the more fun jobs in the game. The town's big cheese suspects someone of stealing things from his house...the problem is he's too old and can't know every inch of his mansion. So, the hunters are tasked with finding out where the stolen stuff is. Talk with the Generale, then his assistant in the foyer. If you question the boothworker at the guild, he says "don't touch the bookshelf" -- this is a clue. Go behind the guild's counter (near wanted posters) and read the shelf to learn that rumors say the mansion's lights have a special interest. The person in the basement says the lights might lead to a rooftop area, but he doesn't know how it'd work. So, with all that information, here's a list of the switches. � F1 - Foyer (lower-left side) � F1 - Foyer (lower-right side) � F1 - Back hallway � F1 - Back hallway � F1 - Back hallway � F2 - Foyer (upper-left side) � F2 - Foyer (by Senor's office) � F2 - Upper-right balcony � F2 - Upper-right balcony Nine total. The key is to flip them all on _EXCEPT_ the northeasternmost in on the northeastern balcony (closest to the corner). Make sure the lamp right beside the useless one is the last one flipped on -- this makes the stairway appear. Go upstairs to find the thief! Talk with Senor Generale to finish the mission. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: 5 FEATHERS OF AMIGUE ROC [JB56] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 7 Reward: 4000g Listed: Morea Available: Complete any 2 of the 3 jobs listed in Morea initially Best Outcome: Five feathers delivered to the client A bar client -- the guy seated in the right table -- wants some Amigue Roc feathers...for no particular reason. These birds appear at Madeta Hill...the only problem is that they're not always in the monster lineup. Leave and re-enter if that's the case. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 72 Earth Giant | E | 230 | 93 | Earthquake | | Lv 72 Poison Cloud | D | 174 | 92 | Poison Wind | | Lv 72 Amigue Roc | E | 228 | 93 | Ground Shield, Earthquake | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| Once five are collected, return to the client and the job's cleared. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: RETURN THE SEA DRAGON'S EGG [JB57] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 30 Reward: 4000g Listed: Millmana Available: After completing Martyr Tower events : 250 Merits acquired : God Hunter Crest acquired Best Outcome: Egg returned to its nest (not given to scientists) This job for "super hunters" is available in the late game and can be done before one goes into Romalia a second time. Once 250 merits and the GH Crest are retrieved (the latter is in Prodias Guild's backroom), talk with the man in the Indigos Guild's backroom. He will refer Elc to Millmana where the job will now be listed. --- When the job's accepted, meet the client at the Ajarl inn. How how would one acquire a submrine? Although there's really no clue here, visit Vilmer in Yudo Village. Luckily, that's where one SHOULD go! Speak with the scientist and he'll start fixing the submarine that washed up on Millmana's shore. Leave the country and come back to find the craft floating in the bay. Once everyone is situated, Elc's "piloting skills" will take center stage. Choose to dive a few times and something will appear on the sonar. Choose to attack it and see some events, then dive again. When Shu says the hull may not hold, choose "I don't care" and dive again to find the shrine. However, a torpedo will be inbound from the aft -- pick "Decoy Shot" to avoid any unnecessary drowning. From there, everyone will enter the deep-sea shrine. Continue north until a scientist demands to have the egg. Ask his reasoning and then refuse, like any good Hunter would. |������������������������|���|�����|�����|����������������������������������| | Lv 120 Flesh Golem | L | 374 | 153 | Refresh | | Lv 102 Golden Slime [2]| L | 343 | 132 | --- | | Lv 98 Slime Bomber [2] | - | 330 | 127 | Self Bomb, Death | |________________________|___|_____|_____|__________________________________| Death can be an annoyance, but it misses so often it probably won't factor in.

The Slime Bombers are in the small canal, although it affects basically nothing except their own movement. They may even use Self Bomb and avoid any trouble! When all enemies are murdered, a few scenes occur...then it's time to leave! _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� JOB: DELIVER THE CHARM [JB58] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Merits: 6 Reward: 2000g Listed: Houfion Available: After fighting in Romalia tunnel (before entering Romalia town) Best Outcome: Charm successfully delivered This job becomes available after the mandatory 10-turn stall fight, but WILL NOT be available after finishing Romalia events...so one must take it before going in for best effect. Meet the client in the Houfion shop and she'll have a charm she wants to deliver to her son in the Resistance. Fight the way through Romalia Tunnel and arrive in the city proper. Here's a map of how to get through -- the woman's son is in the screen with the "D", and can be accessed after lowering the "C" barrier. Technically there is only five fights to encounter before reaching the "c" switch: three before finding the base, one on the bridge east of the "C" barrier intersection, and one in the apartment the "c" switch is in. [The one on the street outside of there can be skipped by entering apartment without finishing fight. _______ |9 10 11| �|�|��� _____ _ | e������| |8|�| Exit |___|���� ����� �| | \_ _ | | |_| |d| _| | _______|E|_ _|�|___ _______|7|_| | _____ _|_______|_______|_| _|�|__ | | (Exit) |_5 6__| | | Son's UPPERCASE: Barrier Underpass |�|__ |�| Location LOWERCASE: Switch (_ ___ ( c| |D|--' __ | |34_|_ �| |� |_| _ |1a] _| |_|_| |__|�|_ __|C|__ ____ _| |_|�|____ | | | b | | | ������� �������� ��|_|�� ���� �������| |�� 1 - Death Rosary | | |�|__ 2 - Garnet |B| _ | | 3 - Blood Bomb |_| BASE |2| | |�� 4 - Power Nut |A|_|�|___ _|�|___|�|__ 5 - Tower Guard | | | 6 - Crazy Face |_|������� ������������ 7 - Force Staff |_| 8 - DarkWonder Card |_| 9 - Book of Cravis+3 |_| 10 - Strengthen Fruit |_|-ENTER 11 - Palo's Nut _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 59) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [FAQZ] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� [Q] - Does completing all jobs 100% do anything? [A] - Nothing besides give the player the satisfaction of being the best. That is why resetting to get another chance at a missed job is kinda wasteful and only done by perfectionists. [Q] - Why does my job show a "G" in place of a star? [A] - This means it's been finished (not necessarily completed) but hasn't had its bounty collected. When it IS collected, it changes to a star(s). [Q] - I found an error [etc.]! [A] - Definitely e-mail me about it. If it's useful, it goes up the next day. _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 60) UPDATES & CONTRIBUTIONS [UPDT] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 06-09-08 -------------------+ Added to GameFAQs (100%) CONTRIBUTORS ������������ None yet... _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 61) LEGALITY [LGLT] _______________________________________________________________________________ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������� This document is intended for private home use ONLY, and may not be reproduced through electronic or commercial means without the expressed consent of the author (P.
