Breath Of Fire III

• Don't try to min/max Masters based on point gain/losses. You eventually get a place where you can create stat items by the dozen.

• Most Masters exist to teach you a couple skills in which most won't be useful. Some end game Masters can teach you some AoE that costs too much and poorly scales. Magic attacks fall behind.

• Fishing is either a day job or something to skip. Unless you want to get an end-game Master related to catching all the biggest fish, you can get a weapon that is slightly better than available before you invade a huge mansion early in the game and fish for whales at the end of the game.

• There are no good rods and the ultimate rod is garbage.

• Fahl is an excellent Master for all characters.

• Many enemies have gimmicks like growing stronger or level you up when hit with certain attacks. A guide will help.

• There are a certain number of Faeries with fixed names and stats. You can safely kill off the few with terrible stats so better ones become available.
