freshfeelingThis session was played on October 23, 2017.
The intent was to the grindy stuff this day while my kids were napping, so I wasn't going to be playing for particularly long. While I wasn't sure whether I needed to grind experience, I knew I wanted to get the Legendary Smith weapons for at least Refia, Arc and Luneth. I chose to do this in the Ancient Ruins, reasoning that dividing enemies might lend themselves to more combat actions and thus more effective job level gains. I also figured I'd kill Refia to speed things up, since she already has job level 99.
I knew that for most jobs, seven to ten actions in combat will earn characters a job level. I tried to reduce the battles to a single enemy, then just defended and healed to stall a bit, then ended it after a handful of turns. This went on for pretty much an hour; Ingus wailing on Eaters and Azraels while Arc and Luneth guarded. In doing this, we ended up with over 500000 gil, too.
At about the 1 hour 4 minute mark, Luneth got job level 99... so I took off his armor and killed him. Then we went to the Floating Continent to more quickly cruise randomly between towns and got Luneth's Lilith Rod.
While it does provide a good attack boost, the intellect boost Luneth gets is pretty substantial compared to his old Wizard Rod.
I couldn't seem to get the Legendary Smith to show up again after this, so I tried restarting the game. Pretty much immediately after that, I was able to find her again. She gave us Refia's weapon.
The Gladius gives Refia great attack power. She'll keep the Moonring Blade in her other hand, since it has the same attack power as the Lust Dagger. The Gladius also gives a huge bonus to agility.
The next time I ran into the Legendary Smith, I didn't realize I had Arc sitting at job level 98 instead of 99 (which had been on screen repeatedly, but I overlooked it every time). So I had to gain Arc one job level and then track down the Legendary Smith again. When we did, we got this:
It was quite coincidental that with all my wandering - mostly between the Healing Copse and Gysahl - that every time I met her to get a prize it happened to be in the Healing Copse. Anyway, we got lots of goodies. Given that Ingus already has Ultima Weapon and Excalibur, his Legendary Smith prize is probably the least important... but I figured I would do it while I was here. We'll finish that up next time.
I saved at this point and ended for today, with Ingus at knight job level 91.
