* Reset the game repeatedly until your main character - either Claude or Ren - as Dexterity. Play the game as normal until after Cross, when you have Celine and get the mission to go to the cave. Get Sensibility 1 and 2, from Cross and Herlie.
* It's best not to spend any of your skill points upgrading any of a character's crafting abilities until you've maxed out Determination on that character. Determination lowers the amount of skill points you need to level your other skills, and maxing it out first will save you a ton of time and skill points in the long run.


* Level up until you can survive one battle in Lasguss, north of Cross, and then run around and level up there until you have 40000 fol, resting as often as you have to - eventually this will be easy, but don't progress with the plot until then. Sense 2 has playfulness on it, and leveling up perseverance to 10 and then playfulness to 10 gets you a grip of cash.
== Tips if you want to take full advantage of the game ==


* On your main dude, level up Courage and Poker Face until your Pickpocket skill is 9 or 10.

* When you have the money, buy the Bandit Glove in Herlie. Save your game, then go into Clik BEFORE IT IS DESTROYED in a private action. Watch the event where Filia predicts the town's doom, and pickpocket her to get the Mischief. This accessory tosses crap at you the entire game, including cash and little trinkets that give you free levels. It is amazing and wonderful.

* Should you do the above event, NEVER TALK TO FILIA EVER AGAIN. <div class="spoiler">Her next event is how you enable super-hard mode for the final boss.</div>


* Then, go to Mars, and save outside. Go in in a PA again, and go to the east side of town, and pickpocket the Treasure Chest from the old man. This gives you three random items, and you can reset until you get, among other things, the Marvel Sword, which gives some ridiculous attack power and will carry you for a very long time.
