XI. FINDING ITEMS

*******************************************************************************

%%%POACHED ITEMS%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%00poach

--About Poaching---------------------------------------------------------------

The Thief’s Poach ability allows you to receive items when you KO monsters with

a physical attack. (This also has the nice side effect of removing the KOed

monster from the map, preventing it from being revived.) Luso’s Game Hunter

job and the Byblos monster job also have the Poach ability as innate support

abilities.

Once you have poached a monster, visit a Poachers’ Den at Dorter, Warjilis, or

Sal Ghidos and you can purchase the item you poached. Poached items only cost

half their usual retail price! (Note that Poachers’ Dens do not appear until

the beginning of Chapter III.)

Each monster can give you one of two items when you poach it. There’s one you

get most of the time (the common one), and one (the rare one) you only get

occasionally -- about 15% of the time or so. This is determined at the time

you poach the monsters, so saving and reloading outside the Poachers’ Den will

not help you :)

You will not receive items from poaching monsters in the multiplayer modes.

--List of Poached Items--------------------------------------------------------

In the list below:

* indicates an item that can’t be bought in regular stores -- but can also be

found other ways besides poaching

** indicates an item that can ONLY be obtained in the single-player game by

poaching

I’ve also listed a location where it’s relatively easy to find the monster.

Most monsters show up in a number of different locations (see the Random Battles

section), but these locations are ones where they appear fairly frequently.

(Areas marked MD: are floors of Midlight’s Deep, the bonus dungeon.)

---Tips on Poaching------------------------------------------------------------

If you’re trying to get a particular poachable item, it’s pretty time-consuming

to keep tracking down the monster in the wild and poaching it until you get the

item you want. Instead, use Entice or Tame to recruit the monster to your

team. Then, after you’ve saved, get into a new battle. Deploy the monster,

have another character poach it, and finish the fight. Check the Poachers’ Den

and if you didn’t get the item you were looking for, you can simply reload from

your save and try poaching the same monster again.

If you’ve got some spare spaces on your roster, you can also breed multiple

copies of the monster. Just walk between two blue dots on the map and the

monster will keep producing eggs. Dismiss the monsters you don’t want to poach

and poach the ones you do. (You can also use the "Preview Monster Eggs" trick

described under Advanced Tactics to try to get rid of eggs you don’t want.)

Always keep one copy of the monster in your roster without poaching it and

you’ll have no problem breeding further copies. Items that can be particularly

useful to "farm" in this way include the hair adornments, perfumes, and Rubber

Suit.

Breeding monsters is also a helpful way to obtain harder-to-find monsters like

Sekhret and the Greater Malboro, and the *only* way to get the Wild Boar. You

can breed Rank III monsters from a Rank II monster of the same family (e.g. a

Minotaur, Malboro, or Wild Boar) or from another copy of the Rank III monster.

Rank I monsters don’t breed Rank III monsters, but you can first breed a Rank

II monster and use that to breed a Rank III.

You have the best odds of breeding the Rank III monsters from another copy of

the Rank III monster and not a Rank II, so once you get the Rank III monster,

hang on to one copy for breeding purposes.

Don’t worry, poaching your own monsters does NOT count as a Casualty on your

Chronicle screen.

---Where to Buy Items----------------------------------------------------------

The Outfitters in towns differ in the types of items and equipment they sell.

For example, one town will have Knives but not Crossbows; another will sell

Crossbows but not Knives.

There are actually only six different "catalogs" of item types available. The

Magick City of Gariland, Clockwork City of Goug, and Royal Capital of Lesalia

have unique catalogs. All the other towns can be divided into three types:

TRADE CITY:

Merchant City of Dorter

Port City of Warjilis

Trade City of Sal Ghidos

CASTLE:

Eagrose Castle

Lionel Castle

Riovanes Castle

Zeltennia Castle

Limberry Castle

TOWN:

Castled City of Zaland

Mining Town of Gollund

Walled City of Yardrow

Free City of Bervenia

The items available at each town type are:
