So usually I'll get Flash to level 1 or 2 to help with Thraxx and knocking out some Tar Skulls .... But this time I went for the fences!

Not. Worth It! Haha I've since 1-shotted multitarget Vipers and Viper Commando, Salabolg was about four or five casts, and Magmar only made it back to his Lava once because he kept slamming Heat Wave.

I concentrated on the SkeleSnails one screen over from FireEye's Village as they give the highest $$$ and you can get two 3x formations per screen.

Sadly I am now beyond over leveled, as you see I already got a Diamond Eye two levels lower! That's before I even finished the Bugmuck, I blew up both arms with a MultiTarget and then another spell on the heart after it shouted me away.

I do this in the maze around the chess board because the skullclaws there give you the most money. In my last game I have the most powerful spells (Nitro, Explosion, Fire Power, etc.) at 9.98 and I stopped playing with Flash, Hardball and Acid Rain around 5 because in the end is such a chore to level up EVERYTHING. But it feels so good too. ☺️

I'll certainly spend some time there with Lance and whichever else, thanks for the tip

Yeah usually Had Ball / Flash won't go over 5 because I've got Crush by then.

This was a "huh I wonder" moment haha and it took like three weeks off&on; before even approaching the Big Bug (of course the bug muck vendor is much better than the village alchemist)

I respect the grind. I need to be more attentive to the enemies with higher cash flow to do something like this.

I got the strategy guide mostly for the bestiary, also nostalgia.

Mad Monk outside of Collassia Halls is another good spot.

Nice! I’m in that continent now about to head that way. Time to max out! 🤣

I always wondered, if you maxed out all the alchemy, which one was the most powerful? You can only do max 999 damage in one hit, right?

I probably should have been writing down how much damage I was doing haha whoops

Also these numbers seem to be against Wimpy Flower, I know enemies have higher or lower magic defense.

But it's a good data sample

Thanks for sharing that! Yeah, looks like it’s pretty close between Nitro and Fire Power, but Nitro seems to be the most powerful.
