Finding Energy Crystals - energy crystals are extremely useful items, they are needed for many weapon upgrades and can also be refined into Ultima spells using Forbid Mag-RF.
There is a simple way to get as many energy crystals as you need. After Lunatic Pandora attacks go to esthar again, walk down the inner skyway and you will see an esthar soldier wearing a dark uniform. After talking to this soldier you will have to fight an elnoyle if you beat this elnoyle you will be rewarded with 2-4 energy crystals. To fight the elnoyle again simply run off the screen and then back again and the soldier will be back.
Note - quickly defeat elnoyles by hitting them with junctioned 100 deaths to status attack

Hidden Draw Points - An easy way to get rare spells is by drawing them from hidden draw points on "the island closest to hell" and "the island closest to heaven"
(see world map in picture gallery for locations).
Note - On these islands are some of the hardest monsters in the game unless you are very strong avoid attacks by having the Enc-None ability junctioned.

Gaining AP quickly - a quick way to gain AP is to go to Cactuar Island and continually fight the cactuars. In each battle you fight you will get 20AP for every cactuar you manage to hit. The downside is only your GF's will really benefit as your characters levels will not be raised by much.
Note - Cactuars have high evade so make sure your party has high Hit values.

Avoiding The Loss Of Rare Cards - Due to the random rule winnig card games can become rather difficult, as the computer will often choose a weak set of cards.
A ceryain way to get a good hand is to simply refine all your regular cards only retaining cards above level 8.
