You have to steal them from skeletons in the ship graveyard.

So my final team is White Mage/Berserker/Beastmaster/Dancer. Chicken Knife is probably already half-powered, this is gonna be one of those awkward runs isn't it.

After running into the speed trap, decided I wasn't going to let that bedamned clapperclaw survive even a moment longer. 30 Hi-Potions and ten minutes later...

I fell into the pit too, if anyone is keeping track this year.

e: Dancer rounds out the cast.

Another 10 game overs and a half hour of grinding later, Byblos is finally dead using only monks and berserkers (third job is Bard).

I had a berserker Galuf and a berserked monk Lenna in the front row hacking away at him while Bartz and Faris stayed back and kept everyone healthy enough to survive a wind slash. I was really lucky though. He was pretty conservative with his wind slashes, attacked mostly my back row guys and never used discord. That didn't stop him from getting me down to one living party member with 10 hp remaining though.

In short: gently caress Byblos.

Haha, monk/zerker/bard buddy. Been too busy watching the world cup to push through to Byblos. Gotta grind first, hit level 15 on my way to kill ifrit and level 5 death makes me sad.

Man, Ninja is awesome. I've never had an easier time with Sol Cannon. I just threw Thunder Scrolls at it until it died.

It got a single beam off.

I imagine Ninja is going to scale badly just like the rest of my party (monk and berserkers) and I'm going to pay for this sweet early game.

Yes, which meant I was able to take down Byblos on the 4th try. He had more evasion than I remembered, but at least the Cannon should be easy enough now.

Yeah, I almost went into the library at level 15 then said wait a minute, and spent a few minutes getting up to 16.

Aw man, I currently have knight/zerker/geomancer as my jobs, I fear this is going to be one of those more difficult runs.

That doesn't sound too bad. Give your berserker and geomancer equip swords. Berserker is a slower harder hitting knight. Geomancer is a frail knight but hits just as hard. And Gaia is actually pretty useful at many points in the first and second world.

After that you got chicken knife, Excalibur, and blood sword.

Edit: I forgot rune chime+ magic lamp actually does decent damage in a geomancer's hand.

I don't think could is the right word. I think it is a must.

Monk/Berserker/Geomancer/Dancer is going to be a costly run. At least I'll have the vitality to get a couple people to survive Almagest when it comes down to it.

Thanks for the tips! Do you have any help on the sandworm? !Gaia is useless against it and Berserker keeps hitting the holes and causing it to use gravity to wipe my party members.

Kill your berserker and plink away at the worm, using your Geomancer to heal as necessary.

That drat open square in the southwest corner of the fourth or fifth floor of the Ronkan ruins that everyone (myself included) can't seem to avoid running directly into.

One of the final screens in the Ronka ruins has a pit about 4 spaces south of the door you come out of. If you're not paying attention, you fall down a hole and need to traverse a couple rooms again.
e: beaten. Basically if you're auto-running, or auto-running with thieves dash, or fastforwarding, you're mildly inconvenienced.

Yeah I had the choice between iOS and GBA for my first run this year, and rolling two berserkers chose iOS.
