Hints and Tips for Phantasy Star Online
(GameCube)

When you get far into the game you will find more mags when you do, make sure you have 5 or more mag, then increase the ability of any on status.

Example: if you increase Magic on one mag and nothing else until it's at level 200 then it will be easyer to learn Magical moves. Just put it on learn the move then switch it back.

If go to the city to find out what the hindden Items are do not accept it right away, by not accepting it right away you can try them same item again and you might get something different. Most of the time the items name changes but the affect stays the same but with different power levels.

Example change: fill, drain
Example power: often, high chance

When you are fighting the flying bugs and kill them off do not kill the big bug sack, instead warp back to the city then warp back to the field, the back should come back, this should let you have unlimited points to level up your character.

I've only done this twice so I'm not sure how much times you can do this.

Take your time leveling up as a Force; you'll find it's worth it BEFORE you battle the last boss, Dark Falz.
