Explore the World Thoroughly for Trials of Mana

Explore the World Thoroughly

Resist the temptation to simply look at the star icon on the map and environment that points you towards the next destination or story event. It is more beneficial to take your time and thoroughly explore an area before moving on as there are plenty of useful things for you to find. Keep an eye out in particular for chests and glowing spots on the ground whether out in the wilds or in towns as this indicates you will find goodies there to collect.
