Vagrant Story Extra Human Class Experience for Weapons: Right after the Minotaur battle in the Wine Cellar, you can use a training dummy to practice your chain combos. This dummy counts as human experience on your weapons, so you can use it to built up that affinity. Weapon and shield combinations: Combine two Hangane Dubble-Blades to get a Hangane Halberd (Weapon) Combine two Nodachis to get a Rune Blade (Weapon) Combine two Khopeshes to get a Wakizashi (Weapon) Combine an Oval and a Heater to get a Knight (Shield New Game + feature Successfully complete the game, then load the saved game. This will give you a "New Game +" feature. This game allows access to your old level, items, and weapons. Hints: Infinite human class experience for your weapons Early in the game, immediately after defeating the Minotaur Boss and receiving the Chain ability, an attack dummy will appear in the save room outside the Minotaur's lair. The dummy not only gives you points toward learning new battle abilities, gained by chaining your attacks. It also gives human class experience to the weapon you are using as you attack the dummy. It gives the human class experience at the same rate you would get if you were attacking a real human class enemy. Rare Grimoires for five different spells in one location At the Sinner's Corner save point/teleport/room and the four rooms immediately surrounding it is a phantom class enemy called the Dark Eye. After a Dark Eye is defeated it may drop a Grimoire for one of five different, rare, warlock class spells. Those spells are Solid Shock, Lightning Bolt, Fireball, Vulcan Lance, and Dark Chant. Note: These Rare Grimoires are dropped very infrequently, and some time is needed to get them. Combining When two items that are exactly the same are combined, the resulting item will be the same type of item, but will have higher stats. For example, if you have two identical short swords and combine them, you will lose those two short swords and get a new third short sword, with slightly higher stats. Save MP when healing Cast the healing spell when you are in battle mode. This will give you more HP than just healing when in normal/relaxed mode.
