1-26-2006 (1.02) Corrected error describing Angelo's Attack +25 Bow trait
1-16-2006 (1.01) Corrected the amount of points Yangus needs to learn Nose for
Treasure. Was 20, it is now 16
12-9-2005 (1.00) Added a skill point chart, tips section for finding Seeds of
Skill and a table of contents
12-8-2005 (.96) I left out all the spells that Angelo learns from gaining
levels in my quick reference guide. That has now been updated. I also changed
the spell Accelerate to Acceleratle because that is what it is called in the
game. Added a thank you section for the people who have pointed out my errors
12-7-2005 (.95) Faq nearly complete, may update a few things

Skills (detailed)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below you will see each ability and trait listed and explained for each
characters set of skills. Any spells learned from skills are described in the
spell list above. A trait automatically goes into effect and does not need to
be used. For example Attack +5 for any weapon will be in effect as long as that
type of weapon is equipped. Abilities are like spells and must be cast in order
to be used. The majority of abilities can only be used if the proper weapon is
equipped. But keep in mind that you can switch weapons during combat and this
does not cost you a turn. Meaning you can have access to all of your skills as
long as you carry the proper weapons.

Tips for finding Seeds of Skill
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you add up the total points for each character you will notice that every one
winds up with 350 skill points. The only other way to gain skill points is to
use a Seed of Skill. The seed will increase your skill points by 5. If you
wanted to max out each character's skills you would need 120 Seeds of Skill.
Throughout the game you will only find a few of these seeds. The only other way
to acquire them is from enemies or bosses. Below are the enemies that drop them
and a trick that I consider the quickest way to acquire the seeds.
WARNING!!!! POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!!!
Only 3 enemies in the game drop the seeds. They can also be stolen by using
Yangus' stealing ability. These enemies all appear in the Heavenly Dais. After
fighting these enemies for hours I was not able to steal many seeds and they did
not drop them very often. I think I wound up with 5 or 6 after 3 hours. You may
have better luck so feel free to try.
Crocodog
Great Troll
Solaris
I found this to be the quickest way to get the seeds. The boss of the Heavenly
Dais, Lord of the Dragovians, will transform into a dragon every time you beat
his human form. You can steal a seed from each of these dragons. Once you have
beaten him enough times to make all of the wishes you can still challenge him.
The difference is when you fight him now you will have to fight all of his
dragon forms in a row. But this means you can steal one seed from each dragon.
He has a total of 7 dragon forms. I had Yangus steal nearly every turn and I
would average 4 seeds per run. Now this is not an easy task if you are low in
level. Even if you are high in level it can still be challenging. But if you are
level 80+ you should be able to do this every time assuming you are properly
equipped. It only took me about 4 hours to get over 100 seeds this way. This is
the strategy I use to beat every dragon. Make sure your hero has the Dragon Soul
ability; you acquire this at level 65. Give your party the best equipment you
have; which at this point should be the best stuff in the game. Give Jessica
a Sage's Stone and a Timbrel of Tension. If you have another Sage's Stone give
it to Angelo. Last make sure Yangus has a scythe equipped. Now use the strategy
below.
HERO: Build tension until it reaches 50 then use Dragon Soul
YANGUS: Use stainless steal sickle every turn to try to steal a seed
ANGELO: Make him heal when necessary, otherwise use Falcon Slash to attack
JESSICA: Cast Acceleratle the first turn. Now use the Timbrel of Tension every
turn, unless you need to heal. If that is the case use the Sage's Stone
