There are no walkthrougs here. If you want a walkthrough, check the one written by Gleeman-it is regularly posted to rec.games.video.nintendo and alt.games.final-fantasy. Within this file you can only find secrets. I will update this file later, when I get more information. WARNING: There is no spoiler space in this file. Read at your own risk. But then, no spoiler space is necessary, because if some spoilers happen to be there, they are only minor spoilers. Well, enjoy! Ragnarok, also known as Nae'Blis ragnarok@sci.fi [2] Weapons Casting Spells ********************** All weapons can be used as items during the battle. Most result in nothing, though, bringing only 0 damage. Here I have collected a list ( which is incomplete ) of weapons that cast spells. I received a lot of this information from the newsgroup; see the Credits section. WorthRG casts Death DragonSD casts Flame HushRG casts Hush StormSR casts Thunder BlastKN casts Bomb TigerSD casts Cure2 ThundrST casts S.Boom EmpireSD casts S.Boom CrmsnCl casts Sap MotherRb casts Cure1 ImmortalRG casts Renew MedusaSH casts Atk-Up BrassST casts Cure1 HolySH casts Shield NoTwinRP casts Angel FireRG casts Spark FlameSD casts Flame ShadowDR casts Idle As I mentioned above, this list isn't complete yet. [3] Monster Treasures ***************** All monsters occasionally drop treasures. Because that is very rare, my list is very short. I'm sure you all have something to contribute with!

I didn't put the whole thing in, I left the paragraps explaining item classes, types, etc. out, because they are very incomplete. The list is not complete, either; please contribute if you find anything. For the information on creating recipes, see "My Notes On Creating Recipes". PS. I know this list is quite confusing. I may make it clearer, when I have time. PPS. Soon avaible a "simple" list. --==ננ==--==ננ==-- ITEM INDEX *Cure Class(2): Herb 1 HelpBL 2 Extract 4 LifePl 8 *Antidot Class(2): Antidot 1 TearDr 2 Vitamin 4 *Meat(1): Beef Meat Roast SpareRib Liver Egg Tendon *Magic Cure(3): WFruit WiseBl *Bait(1): Worm Shrimp Urchin G8Bait(2) *Spell-Casting Lvl.1(3): F.Spice ShaveIce Frizbee *Spell-Casting Lvl.2(4): Panpizza Deadsoup P.Porri *Temporary Boost(2): Medicate *Permanent Attribute Raising Items(3): Dinker LuckCandy PowerFood MisoSoup GutsBl *Gold Gold(Bait) Goldbar *Fish Tuna --==ננ==--==ננ==-- Syntax: *********************************** ITEM'S_NAME: Best_Base_Formula_so_far other_level_recipes -- notes_on_item *********************************** ** CURE CLASS ** SubClass of bait?

Sometimes the reccipe results in Charcoal, too. ****************************************** UNDER CONSTRUCTION ****************************************** [5] TownShip Tenant List ******************** This list is based on the list made by River of Dreams. It contains all the people that come to your township ( or at least all we have found ). The numbering of the houses is following: Regular Houses Arabic Houses ( and the other houses, could someone e-mail 1 2 3 1 2 me their order? ) 3 4 4 5 6 5 6 House 1 ******* Kay, can be found from the St.Eva church in Coursair. Gives you an temporary poison vaccine. Poo, is found from the upstairs of the Coursair Pub. Will eventually become a thief that steals things for you. Usually just MoonDrop, unfortunately. Hekeller. Can be found in HomeTown in the building with Bo's and Hero's house in it. Sells fire-based armor & weapons. Not very good, though. Watts the Riddle-Master can be found in Tunlan Carnival. Answer the riddles correctly, and he helps you to find Bleu. House 2 ******* Lemington, can be found in Capitan, sells poor armour. Avoid him. McClean the fisherman can be found near the old man's house, near Whale Cape. Shows you to a nice fishing spot. Bocken is a great wise man found in the cave that leads to Gate. No special "use" for him found yet. ********************************************************* [6] Hunting Range ************* This list was compiled by Nicholas Yarymowich. I just checked how it works. He has figured out that after the animal is shot, the inside of the bag varies on how long it takes you to grab the bag. If you wait a while, you get different item. The best way is to go to the bag IMMIDIATELY after the animal is killed, and check the contains. If you're dissatisfied with it, answer "No" and wait a while. Then check it again. Well, there's the list he compiled. Wild Boar 1. Roast - full HP 2. Meat - restore 100 HP 3. Liver - cure poison 4. Beef - restore 40 HP Deer 1. Roast 2. Meat 3. Tendon - restore AP 4. Beef Bear 1. SpareRib - full HP 2. Roast 3. Liver 4. Beef Bird 1. Egg - revive 2. Chkn - restore HP 3. Tendon 4. Beef This list appears to be complete ( a miracle! ). [7] Analysis on Dragonjewel *********************** The Tear of the Dragon, the DragonJewel, given to you by your mother.. it tells the feelings of people, of the heart of people.. it's a.. mystery... When your friends talk to you, the color of the Tear is yellow, green or turquoise blue. All of these are colors of friendship and care, turquoise being the strongest indicator. The Hero always wears the orange Tear. No one knows why, but it could indicate balance, of him trying to keep the balance of the world. Neutral could be the right word. Some people hate you, and they want to draw your blood. Red is the color of blood, red is the color of Tear. "Kill her! Tear the devil apart!" the mob shouts at Habaruku. The color of their hearts is black, as is the heart of Habaruku - evil hearts, willing to kill. [8] Good Fishing Spots ****************** I have found some fishing spots with treasure chests.. this list, like all others, is incomplete... You need CharmRod to fish chests ( found at the inn near Evrai ) and I recommend Urchin as bait. You can also do it with DeluxePole, but it's a hundred times harder that way. Place Item ------- ------ North of TagWoods, JahAr near the safekeeping store guy Near TownShip IronBr, Def. +10 West of Gate LifeAr, The best armour in BoF1.. the best in BoF2 until you reach DragonAR Bo and Karn's Island LoveBr E. of TownShip, EmpireSD, the best sword in BoF1. in the middle of the mountains Island N. of the guy Tolen who sells DamageSD, etc. Near Northern Entrance Tolen to Gate cave A little N. of Bando MoonDrop Please contribute to this list! [8.1] Where to fish for Maniro ( the fish that looks like Gobi ) ************************ You use Gold to catch Maniro. If you catch him, you can buy some items from him. I've made a list of places where you can fish for Maniro. Please e-mail me any additions.

To get more Gold, see section 3. [99] Miscellanous Secrets HOW TO GET BLEU: South of Thieves Tomb, there is a whirlpool in the desert. Go there and talk to the ghosts. After that, go to M.School in HomeTown and talk to a girl at the upstairs. HOW TO GET GOLD: You can get Gold you use to catch the fish that looks like Gobi by fighting Mimics, found in the mind of the Great Wise Tree and in Namanda. - How to get ENORMOUS amounts of Exp. : Go to the island with palms and a weapon shop on it. Bring Sten. Go to a battle and use "Sweh" until you encounter a N.Rider. Killing him takes about one Dragon spell and three Missile spells, but you get 20,000 Exp. !! If you're lucky, you get NoTwinRP! [100] Coming Soon... ( or not so soon :) More complete cooking list! A Completed TownShip Tenant list! More Misc. Secrets! A Monster List! A Tolen List!
