= How To USE This FAQ =
===============================================================================

This faq is split up into parts. First, I'd list the area name, and the town
name. Then, I've split up the town into the blacksmith, item shop, accessory
shop, and the Raichin Tavern. Within these sub-categories, I have listed the
item's name, effect, and purchase price.

Area Name - Town Name

Old Lady's House (remove curse condition)
Blacksmith (buy swords, upgrade the ginmei sword)
Item Shop (buy health items, and chi recovery items)
Accessory Shop (buy "armor", items that affect mind, body and technique)
Raichin Tavern (sleep to recover health or eat to recover health)

= Tempering The Ginmei Sword =
===============================================================================

No matter where you go to get your sword upgraded, it will cost the same amount
of steel orbs and taichi. You can upgrade your ginmei sword six times, each
time increasing the amount of damage it deals. Head to the blacksmith for
this service.

To fully temper your sword, you would have to spend 121 000 taichi over a long
period of time. You cannot skip sword forms, so you'd have to work up from the
sixth form to the first with that huge amount of coinage and steel orbs.

===============================================================================
= Storage House Prices =
===============================================================================

Shinbu can store items and taichi in the storage house. You can upgrade the
storage house to hold more items and more taichi. Account types can't be
skipped, so you'd have to work up to the desired account type. You'd spend a
total of 7500 taichi to upgrade your account fully.

= Infrastructure Downloads =
===============================================================================

You can download extra toys from Climax, if you have a WLAN access. These
weapons and accessories are slightly better than the in-game ones you can
purchase. From the title screen, go to download and follow the prompts from
there. You have to enter the appropiate passwords for whatever item you want.

One note - the European version of Kingdom of Paradise doesn't support WLAN
downloads. (It doesn't have the option for WLAN downloads in the main menu.)
Instead you'd download packs of bonuses from the web to put on your memory
stick. There are five packs currently out right now, and you can get them at
www.yourpsp.com!

Thanks to Skye Darkhawk for this information on the disease status condition!

= Freestyle Scroll Locations =
===============================================================================

Freestyle scrolls are bugei in which you can arrange kenpu however you wish.
Each freestyle scroll starts off with "their name plus one" kenpu slots, and
by using them frequently, you can train them to ten kenpu slots. For example,
the third freestyle scroll will have four slots when you first obtain it.

There are a total of five freestyle scrolls, and you'd have to get them in
order. If you try to skip getting one, the NPC will refuse, saying something
about the scroll before it. Getting all of the scrolls requires a lot of
walking back and forth between towns, so stock up on health items for the
travels.

1) In Hokusai, Northern Genbu after witnessing the cut-scene in which Eikoukou
or Eigen's master gets killed. You get a mission to head to the Raichin tavern
and a kid stops you to tell you about a scholar finding something useful for
bugei. Find the red-robed scholar named Kairkou to receive it.

2) Southern Suzaku, there is a man standing behind a bunch of explosive
barrels, detonate them and talk to him to receive your second freestyle scroll.

3) In Chikuan, Eastern Seiryu after getting the first scroll from Kairkou.
Near the school, there is a fence...head near the lakeshore to find an old man
who gives the third one to you.

4) Western Byakko, there is a path that's under a bridge. Head down it to
talk to an old man near a box and some Seima technology to receive it. This
bridge is the path before the old lady's house and the blacksmith. Get this
one before the boss battle with Suzaku's clan god - the phoenix...otherwise
the entrance will be blocked.

5) Head back to Northern Genbu, Hokusai. Near the accessory and item shops
coming from Eastern Seiryu, there is an upper deck with an old man with a cane.
He says that he has something to give to his old friend named Gakuichi, and
then he forgets what it is if you don't have the other scrolls.

===============================================================================
= Training Shinbu =
===============================================================================

Shinbu can increase his stats by leveling up, and by powerleveling mind,
technique and body, he can make himself stand out from other clan members.
Powerleveling involves using only chi arts or bugei to fight.

For bugei, it's easier, as you can strike the Kirin dirt troops many times
before they turn back into sand. Training the mind attribute can be done with
a lot of nectars and a lot of enemies. Blast the enemies with any chi art and
then refill chi using the nectars or chi cakes. The hardest attribute to
powerlevel is body, as sometimes Shinbu dies before he can level up.

Mind - Adds to the damage done by using chi arts of any type, increase this
attribute by fighting with only chi arts.

Technique - Shinbu's total physical damage, increase this attribute by
battling with only bugei and kenpu. (Use the freestyle scroll, if possible.)

Body - Shinbu's total defense/resistance, increase this attribute by allowing
enemies to hit you and not using healing items...only rely on level ups to heal
you.

This faq was a labour of love, even through I didn't have internet access for
the longest time, it got finished thanks to my friends. Anyhow, I'm a twenty
one year old college student. This is my third faq, and my second real gaming
faq...and I'm planning more for the PSP.

Contact me at [email protected] about mistakes in this faq, and other
things regarding Kingdom of Paradise. Please put something appropiate into
the subject line, similar to "Kingdom of Paradise FAQ". Thank you for reading!
