freshfeelingThis session of play was at some point between May 31st and June 6th, 2017.
It began with me realizing I'd need to go on a bit of a trip to get the Fairy and then the Oxyale before I could enter the Sea Shrine, and also with me showing off my script that would show off the character stat values from memory in battle. The Lua script that I'm using is somewhat interesting and at-times helpful, particularly because it allows me to see some values that aren't normally accessible like the magic resistance stat.
I had to get the money for the Bottle, but thankfully I had a few things to sell. I sold a few things I was carrying. I happened to go to Melmond to sell things, and while I was there I decided to pop back into Astos' castle where I had never raided the treasures. I grabbed the Falchon and Power Staff, and in doing so I found that Thor and Iron were both able to use Luke's old Silver Knife, Cap and Iron were both able to use the Power Staff, and Cap could even use the Silver Hammer. Finally, Iron had a bit of offensive potential! Unfortunately, Luke lost some of his.
I remembered to save my Bottle money instead of squandering it on spells and then I met the fairy to get Oxyale so we could head into the Sea Shrine. We went upwards first. Here's a summary of the equipment we found and who could use it:
After a while, a group of Lobsters killed Cap, which seemed really unlikely. Unfortunately, Cap is the only one who had a LIFE spell. I chose to press on regardless. Cap being dead broke my Lua script a bit, though.
We got to Kraken and spent a couple of turns buffing: everyone cast INV2 on turns 1 and 2 so that we would be effectively immune to his attacks, and then we cast FAST on ourselves. Unfortunately, Iron and Luke still couldn't manage to deal more than 1 damage per hit, so on turn 4 we all just used our very best lightning spells and that sealed the deal.
Three fiends down! When we came out of the Sea Shrine we revived Cap, then travelled to Melmond so that we could learn Lefeinish. After Melmond we stopped in Gaia to get ProRings and Gold Bracelets, prioritizing Gold Bracelets since so many ProRings are found in late-game chests.
I wanted to get some money for the expensive spells in Lefein so I took a short trip to Coneria to fight Imps. Something got glitchy with the amount of gold won per battle...
...and while I can't explain it, it seems like I'm gaining the expected amount of money anyway.
With a good bit of money, we started the trek through the forests toward Lefein. This trek is a pretty long one, but not nearly as long as it was in the previous playthrough! We actually only had about 3 random battles on our way to Lefein, where we claimed our Chime.
As well, we were able to get LIF2 on Thor, Cap and Luke, and NUKE on Thor and Luke. With this and our somewhat ridiculous numbers of spell charges the endgame was looking pretty easy regardless of our access to equipment. We went back to Gaia and spent the remainder of our on-hand cash on a couple of ProRings and spells. By the end of this, everyone had at least one spell at every level.

- Opal Armor: nobody.
- Light Axe: nobody.
- Mage Staff: nobody.
- Opal Bracelet: seemingly everybody. We gave it to Luke and passed his Gold Bracelet to Iron.
- Opal Helmet: nobody.
- Opal Gauntlet: nobody.
- Opal Shield: nobody.
- Power Gauntlet: nobody.
