    This FAQ contains MOST all items dropped by enemies. Also, enemy locations
and statistics. Also, it contains magics everybody gets. I am currently working
on a Mithril Section also!

    This is protected by copyright, so don't mess with it! This took a GREAT
DEAL of time and effort. I will not accept using this FAQ without my
permission!
Please don't change anything without my permission, either!

    Let's get down to it
    The first section contains locations, names, which pixie to use, special
attacks, and items. Apparently you only get one item per enemy. Pixies just
increase the chances
of getting that item.

    MAGIC

    I always Promote at 20. So subtract 20 to get their promoted level. Note
that Akane starts at 14, Lisa at 22, and Forte comes back at 15.  A * means
they
start with that magic. A - means it doesn't get to that level. According to
Rune, the
levels are different if you don't promote till much later. I only have the
promoted
magic levels.
