Welcome to my first FAQ that dosen't involve Cheat Codes. I wrote this FAQ because I noticed that there was no other FAQ that detailed what you need to have in order to be able make all the items in the synthesis shops. If you don't know what I mean by synth shops, you probably shouldn't be reading this guide. Now the point of this guide is simple; It's to make it easy to synth items and still be able to have one of each, without needlessly buying lots of extra items that you don't need and will never use. This FAQ is mostly made from my own desire to have all the items without spending forever fighting random battles to raise Gil. Hope you find this info as useful as I did. =============================================================================== 3] MINIMUM REQUIRED ITEMS ===================================================== =============================================================================== (the main course) In this section you'll find the minimum requirements to have every equipment that is made from common* items, in the follwing quantities: 3A] One of Each one of each equipment you can synth from common items. 3B] One at a Time enough to equip an active party(the four who fight that CAN equip it). 3C] One for All enough to equip it on every character at once(that CAN equip it). Keep in mind that my lists do NOT take into account during what time you have to buy the items, so my advice is to buy the required amount as soon as you can. Perhaps at a later date I will break it down by shop/town/disc. BE VERY AWARE that these list only include items that you need more than one of. The quantities listed INCLUDE an extra, so you still have an original un-synthed item. For example, The quantity for Dagger is 2, because you need one dagger to synth into a Butterfly Sword, and that leaves you one Dagger to keep in your inventory. *either bought or easily found(and not rare or limited) _______________________________________________________________________________ 3A] One of Each _______________________________________________________________________________ This section has the minimum requirements listed to have one of every piece of equipment made from common* items. Keep in mind that I have only listed items that you need more than one of. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ITEMS YOU FIND. So if you never find any of the synthed items as treasure, this is what you will need to get. The only included items are ones you can PURCHASE at a store, so I will not include items that can only be found or stolen(or are very rare). *either bought or easily found(and not rare or limited) NOTE: Numbers in parentheses are synthed from items you have bought, and those items are there only as a reference point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3A1] Weapons ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name Qty Synth it into .................................................................

A big thank-you to LMagnuz for writing his Combination Shop FAQ, PGregory for writing his Item/Ability FAQ, and for The Freelancer for writing his Shop List FAQ. And thank-you to Squaresoft for finally making a new game in the FF series that doesn't make every character able to cast every spell. This is the first game like that since FF4J/2E.
