UNDER CONSTRUCTION: THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. LITERALLY.

Refinement Charts:
This section contains a list of each refinement skill, and what you can refine with it. The purpose of this chart is to allow you to find cool "chains." For example, if you have Doomtrain and Eden you can buy an HP up for 150,000. Know how?

  1. Call Shop "Esthar Pet Shop" with Tonberry's Familiar and Haggle abilities learned.
  2. Purchase 10 Giant's Rings at 15,000 each.
  3. Using GFAbl Med-RF (Eden), refine your 10 Giant's Rings into 1 Gaea's Ring.
  4. Using Forbid Med-RF (Doomtrain), refine your Gaea's Ring into 1 HP Up.
Cool, eh? See the list at this end of this section for a few more cool example chains.

1 Megalixir 10 Elixir Esthar Shop!!! Med LV up 10 Exilir => 1 Megalixir 375,000
* Realistically, this is the fastest way to acquire money in the game. Assuming you have all the GF Abilities, just follow these steps:
  1. Clear the first three slots in your inventory (this makes it go a lot faster!)
  2. Go to Menu - > Ability -> Call Shop -> Esthar Shop!!! (use the right-arrow to get to the second page of shops.)
  3. Buy 100 Cottages (135,000 gil) and 100 Tents (75,000 gil)
  4. Quit the call shop menu and select the ability Recov Med-RF
  5. Refine both the Cottages and Tents into Mega-Potions
  6. Go back to Esthar Shop!!! and sell those 75 Mega-Potions for 562,500 gil, then buy another 100 Tents and Cottages. This will net you 352,500 gil each pass.
  7. Repeat until you have enough money, then buy the stat up items.

It only takes me about 30 seconds to do this, so I can earn the 1.5m needed for Str/Spr/Mag Up in just over 2 minutes. For perspective, that means I can earn the 100 items needed to max a character's Str/Spr/Mag in an hour or two of grinding. Not that I manually grind like this, mind you. I have pretty bad carpal tunnel in both wrists, so this is out of the question for me anymore. Thankfully modern technology has come to the rescue. Since I play on an emulator, I built a bot to do this for me using a RaspberryPi Zero and some python code. I simply tell the code how many times I want the script to loop, then it earns the 1.5M Gil needed for each item, and then buys the item. Repeat as desired. Some day I'll make a turoial video about how I did it and put it up on YouTube.
