Characters(called Ring Masters) manifest their form of weapon differently(ex. Wein - scythe, Yayoi - bow). Growlanser 2 and 3 differ from most RPG series in that the weapons aren't bought in shops but rather the different rings are found by stealing from enemies or defeating them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ======================== | I-1.Gem Control Levels | ======================== **GGGCL** All rings have 3 slots with different gem control levels numbered 0-9. The gem control levels are just as important if not more than the stat increases. Each slot can only be equipped with a gem whose level does not exceed that of the slot's gem control level(ex. you cannot put a lv.9 Mage'sAria into a level 6 slot). However, a slot can handle lower level gems. Any slot with a gem control level of 0 cannot be equipped with any gems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ================== | I-2. Stat Boosts | ================== **GGSTB** All rings affect 1-7 of the 10 possible stats. Keep in mind that STR, INT, and DEX also have secondary effects. STR increases MHP, ATK, and DEF. INT increases MMP. DEX increases MOV(maybe HIT). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ================= | I-3. Ring Names | ================= **GGRNA** The name of a ring determines the stat increases that the ring provides. Each ring name is consisted of three parts. First name - ONLY affects MHP, STR, ATK, HIT, and ATW First names listed best to worst with stat increases - MHP|STR|ATK|HIT|ATW ------------------------------- God 40| 18| 26| 45| 18 ------------------------------- Holy 35| 16| 22| 40| 16 ------------------------------- Arch 30| 14| 18| 35| 14 ------------------------------- Grand 25| 12| 14| 30| 12 ------------------------------- Noble 20| 10| 10| 25| 10 ------------------------------- Able 15| 8| 8| 20| 8 ------------------------------- Clever 10| 6| 6| 15| 6 ------------------------------- Lucky 5| 4| 4| 10| 4 ------------------------------- "blank" 2| 2| 2| 5| 2 ------------------------------- Second name - ONLY affects MMP, INT, DEX, DEF, and MOV Second names listed best to worst with stat increases - MMP|INT|DEX|DEF|MOV -------------------------------- Hero 20| 18| 18| 26| 30 -------------------------------- King 17| 16| 16| 22| 25 -------------------------------- Duke 14| 14| 14| 18| 20 -------------------------------- Earl 12| 12| 12| 14| 15 -------------------------------- Count 10| 10| 10| 10| 10 -------------------------------- Lord 8| 8| 8| 8| 8 -------------------------------- Baron 6| 6| 6| 6| 6 -------------------------------- Knight 4| 4| 4| 4| 4 -------------------------------- Guard 2| 2| 2| 2| 2 -------------------------------- Last names - Last names are a little more complicated than the first two. They decide which stats the ring can have/which stats are affected by the first two names. Example - With a God Hero Gris, the only stat that 'Gris' carries is STR, so the other effects of 'God' and all the effects of Hero mean nothing. This is the reason why 'Alfeil' and 'Reslam' are so much better than the other rings depending on the character. Last names listed along with which stat they affect MHP|MMP|STR|INT|DEX|ATK|DEF|MOV|HIT|ATW ----------------------------------------------------- Alfeil X | X | | | | X | X | X | X | X ----------------------------------------------------- Reslam | | X | X | X | | | | | X ----------------------------------------------------- Reius | | X | X | X | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------- Fredram X | X | | | | | | X | | X ----------------------------------------------------- Freed X | X | | | | | | X | | ----------------------------------------------------- Waldom | | | | | X | X | | X | X ----------------------------------------------------- Warien | | | | | X | X | | X | ----------------------------------------------------- Ardo X| | | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------- Bardo | X | | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------- Gris | | X | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------- Haars | | | X | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------- Luas | | | | X | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------- Lyon | | | | | X | | | | ----------------------------------------------------- Raun | | | | | | X | | | ----------------------------------------------------- Vido | | | | | | | X | | ----------------------------------------------------- Graun | | | | | | | | X | ----------------------------------------------------- Rumm | | | | | | | | | X ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ======================== | I-4. Ring Related Tips | ======================== **GGRRT** - In most cases it is better to sacrifice stat boosts for gem control levels rather than vice versa(depending on your gems of course) once you get past the early stages of the game. - In GL2 work your way through the arena to get to the Bonus Battle(equipping Memory of Alviis for Invisibility will make this much easier). Equip Memory of Alviis and use Meteor which can make golden jelly out of all the Gold Slimes. Equip a Lv.9 Double Rings with a Lv.5 Empower while doing this to mass collect rings and experience. You may need a Lv.6/8/9 Magic Might in place of Empower if the character can't do 8-9 damage with Meteor. - In GL3 make sure you kill at least on of the golden Lv.44 'soul' monsters as you make your way through the Lake Bottom Tunnel. Afterward the Bonus Battle -Soul Smash will open up in the arena. Once again equip Double Rings when doing this battle. One Lv.4 Blizzard should be enough to clean the slate. This battle will get you VAST amounts of experience, but costs 30,000 elm to enter. W/ Double Rings you should get enough rings to get your money back after every battle. - Killing Soul Monsters in Lake Bottom Tunnel These monsters have a lv.3 resistance to Wind, Thunder, and Ice/Water Magic. They have a lv.6 resistance to all other magic. Attacking them physically will almost never work(I tried using ATK 18 times with Slayn equipped w/ Lv.9 Hyper-Attack and didn't hit it once). The easiest way to cause damage is Wind Cutter, Ice Barrage, or Blizzard. Keep in mind that if you take too long to kill one it will sometimes retreat. - Art of Thievery may be your best friend on your first playthrough in either game. Make sure whoever has this equipped attacks the highest level monster or boss first so you steal the best possible item. This is how I got a lot of my really good rings early. - God Hero Alfeil is the best all around ring while God Hero Reslam is the best ring for mages(with three lv.9 slots of course) ============================================================================== ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ============================================================================== II. ____ _____ __ __ ____ / ___| ____| \/ / ___| | | _| _| | |\/| \___ \ | |_| | |___| | | |___) | \____|_____|_| |_|____/ __________________ .-' \ _.-''-._ / '-. .-/\ .'. .'. /\-. _'/ \.'

Useful Gem Combinations | ============================== **GGUSE** ======== Fighters ======== Lv.9/8 Hyper-Attack Lv.9 Bellow Store Lv.7 Vampire/Lv.9 Knock Out/Lv.7 Teriaka(Arena) This setup might make some battles ridiculously easy. This is what I always use in the Arena. Knock Out may be a better choice if the character has a lot of HP. i.e. Annette, Xenos Lv.9/8 Hyper-Attack Lv.9 Rainbow's End/Lv.5 Soul Thunderclap Lv.7 Metal Killer This will make scrap out of those Neural Armors and most armored enemies in GL3 Lv.7 Epiphany Lv.7 Vampire Lv.9 Bellow Store This setup is useful against those high HP enemies. You may do 400+ points of damage with each attack. Archers(Charlone,Yayoi) Lv.9 Transport Wings Lv.8 Deft Wind Lv.8 Destroy Balance/Lv.8 Deft Wind ===== Mages ===== Lv.8 Memory of Alviis/Arvis or Lv.9 Magic Might Lv.8 Magic Awakening/Lv.3 MP Conservation Lv.9 Mage's Aria Good all around combination. The Mage's Aria gem is one of the top 5 IMO. Combined with Cycle Up and your Mages will be unstoppable(in GL3). Lv.6 Magic Range Lv.9 Magic Might Lv.6 Magic Mirror/Magic Awakening Useful against those armors b/c of Thunder's short range and their high HP. ============ Specific Use (email with suggestions) ============ In GL2 for Firefly use: Lv.8 Memory of Alviis Lv.6 Quickness lv.6 Quickness or Lv.9 Bellow Store(on New Game+) Lv.8 Memory of Alviis Lv.7 Vampire For the first setup, just use Invisibility then Dash and you can get the Mission finished quickly. For the second, wait out of view of the guards and let the Bellow Store get to the max. Then Dash and set two fires, destroying guards along the way. Use Magic Shell when the Mages come. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ======================= | I-2.
