*****************************************************************************

This FAQ is here as reference for the seemingly never ending amount
of items found in this game. It should serve as an all-purpose reference
guide for anyone looking for the best weapon for their character, to which 
units are the best to attach to your armor. Everything here is based on a 
run-through of the normal version, though some harder to find 
weapons/armor/units can only be found in the harder versions.

Some items, weapons, etc. can only be used by certain classes. Androids
cannot use Magic, so items related to that are useless to them. Keep
in mind that some classes learn to use weapons/spells, etc. at a faster pace
than others.

I find that rarity of items depends on your class/game. For me, I've had a
ton of trouble finding Zonde type spells, but I find a TON of Force weapons.

As for the items list, you can hold a maximum of 60 items total in storage,
as well as 30 on your person. 90 items seems like a lot, but your space will
fill up quickly, trust me. ;)

I can't do this FAQ alone, so I need some help acquiring info about some of
the rare items you may find in your game, such as Dragon Slayers, Double
Bladed Sabers, etc.

Email me at khaotika@earthlink.net if you have anything you want to add
here. I'll put it in the next revision. :)

1. Items List

This covers all the found items as well as items you can buy in the
shops, for use in recovery, revival, etc. All characters can use these
freely, though the android characters need not worry about certain
magical related items. Some items can be kept in amounts of up to 10,
while others will take up space by themselves in your inventory. For
example, 2 Antidotes take up one space, while 2 Monogrinders take
up two. Keep this in mind as you manage your items.

2. Weapons List

This section covers all the found weapons as well as ones you can buy in
the shops, for upping attack as well as attack power. There are some
universal weapons that all characters can use, like sabers and handguns,
but each class also possesses weapons that only they can use.

More powerful weapons are obviously better for your character, as well as
ones with a large number after the name. For example a Saber + 8 is more
powerful than a Saber + 2. Also, pay attention to the percentage against
each type of monster. You will want to keep/buy weapons that have a high
success rate against all types of monsters. The lower the rate, the more
misses the weapon will have against that type. These will always show up
in green font. Try to keep a weapon that has a good balance percentage
toward all monsters. Dump any weapons that have negatives (in blue).

In order to use more powerful weapons, the Hunter must have a high amount 
of ATP. For Rangers, it's ATA, and for Forces, their MST must be high.


TYPE OF ATTRIBUTE              USE
-----------------------------------------------------

Heat               Fire family. Does fire damage
Fire               with special attack, progressively

Thunder            damage with special attack,
Storm              progressively more powerful with 
Tempest            each new name. May paralyze robotic
                   enemies.

Panic              Confusion family. Confuses enemy

Gush               higher names. (5%, 9%, 13%, and 17%,
                   respectively..)

Bind               Paralyze family. Can paralyze an
Hold               enemy . Again, becomes more powerful
Seize              with higher names.
Arrest

Dim                Death family. Can kill an enemy
Shadow             instantly with special attack. You
Dark               know the drill....(lower ones can
Hell               only kill weak enemies)

Charge             Charge family. Uses one of 3 things 
Spirit             to launch a double powered attack.
Berserk            (Meseta, TP and HP, respectively.)

Heart              Technique family. Drains TP from
Mind               enemies with a special attack. % is
Soul               higher with higher names. (3%, 4%,
Geist              5%, 6% of max TP respectively..)

Master's           Experience family. Drains a certain
Lord's             % of the enemy's experience, and 
King's             gives it to you. Often worthless 
                   because of a significant power decrease.
                   (8%, 10%, and 12% of Enemy EXP, respectively)

Demon's            Reduction family. Reduces an enemy's
Devil's            current total HP by 1/2 (Demon's) or 
                   1/2 (Devil's).


*Weapons progress in level by color, no matter which weapon it is. So,
in case you ever see someone with a cool looking gold saber, you'll know
that it's a level 5 saber, known as a Gladius. (for example)

The color order proceeds like this:

Green
Blue
Purple
Red
Gold
Blue/Green
Red/Purple
Green/Gold

BTW, the + at the end of the cost indicates that weapons with element
types will be more expensive. The + at the end of ATP/ATA/MST means that
after you reach the base level, you will be able to equip the weapon
anytime afterwards.*


*Your main goal is to find a high level weapon combined with a high
level attribute. For example, I have a Demon's Laser +25. It's considered
a 9-star weapon because it is the highest level of rifle, plus it has
a very high attribute, with 4 stars. You should always be searching for
the best kind of weapon for your characters!*

3. Frames/Armor List

This covers all the found armor upgrades as well as ones you can buy in the
shops, for use in additions to defense, evade, and sometimes extra slots
for units. Some Frames/Armor may actually decrease certain stats while
boosting others as well as give you added protection against some elements,
but not others. It's up to you to decide what's the best armor to own in
your situation. Every character can equip Frames, but only Hunters and
Rangers can equip Armor. Everyone can equip Barriers, but only Hunters and
Rangers can equip Shields.

Frames/Armor with green font are essentially like the weapons, so you
should check to see if they provide the right protection against all
types of monsters. You should also always check to see how many slots 
it has for unit upgrades. The more, the better...

The price ranges cover from no slots/white font to multiple slots/green
font versions.

4. Units List

This covers all the found units as well as ones you can buy in the shops,
for use in additions to defense, HP, etc. All characters can use these
freely, as long as they have slots available on their frames/armor to
allocate them, though the android characters need not worry about magical
related ones.

Just like the Weapons, Green Font versions are better, as well as those
that have pluses next to their names.

5. Rare Items

This covers the rare items found while playing through the game by
yourself or with others. The chance of finding these, is of course, better
if you play in a multi-player game online. Some of these are more common
than others, and some, even though they belong to a certain family of
weapons/armor, can be equipped by any character.

If you find these items (with the exception of rare units), they will
usually be unknown weapons/armor, in LARGE FONT, and you will have to see
a tekker to actually reveal what they are. Once analyzed, these items will
show up in your stock in Gold Font.

The easier to find ones are around 9 Stars. The harder to find ones are
10 Stars or more..

*A theory from Paradox: LUCK will help determine how often/how rare an 
item from this list is dropped. Pump up those stats, people!!*

*Number of hours played may also affect how often/what rares are
dropped, as well as section ID.*

*I'd like to know the MST/ATT/ATP requirements for these as well...*

*How far can you grind each weapon?*

Everyone who's been a part of my team - Thanks for all the good times,
boss fights, and countless hours of playing...

Thanks to CJayC for hosting this up at GameFAQS. Don't work yourself
to death or anything... :P

*A side note: I hate the Soul Eater questing. Infinitely stupid MOME and 
ASH....* (grumble)

*Another side note: There's no such thing as 'one person finds photon
claw the other finds double saber.' I should know because I found both
in my game. :p *
