The Last Remnant Allow Player to Change NPC Equipment: ------------------------------------- After the first time you execute the game, it will create an ini file for your configuration in your "My Documents" folder. Locate and open the "RushEngine.ini" file with Notepad. The file is located in "My GamesThe Last RemnantRushGameConfig". There is a line in "RushEngine.ini" called: bExSettingUseAllMemberEquip=FALSE Change it to "TRUE" (without quotes) and then save the file. You can then change NPC weapons and accessories manually in game, however they will still ask for new equipment and items. If you give them new equipment they might still override the slot without putting it back into inventory like in the normal game. Suggestion: Give them items they want, but don't give weapons or accessories they ask for. Do it manually so you can keep that equipment for selling or disassembling. Easy experience: ---------------- Submitted by: RM Note: This takes a while and is very repetitive. This trick is done before you enter Dillmoor. It can be opened up during the story line, which is the third area opened, but do not enter it or you will lose this chance. At the beginning of the game when the Ruins of Robelia Castle and Gaslin Caves are opened up, or as Dillmoor is opened up, there is a way to keep leveling up for a long period of time before moving on. You can do it all three ways actually. When choosing to enter either Robelia Castle or Gaslin Caves you will be grouped with Pagus or Blockter. Keep going back into that area and fight until you can make it through the area without leveling up once through the whole map and use the appropriate fighting technique (Mystic Attacks in Robelia Castle or Combat Arts in Gaslin Caves). As you do this, your characters will learn more of those skills. If you chose to wait until Dillmoor is opened, do not enter that area or you will lose the leveling ability. Instead, have your two parties run in and out of both Robelia Castle and Gaslin Caves until you do not level up at all running through both areas. Even if you are close to exiting the second area you selected and have one character level up, go through them both again. This is the easiest and most efficient way to level up early in the game, and it keeps your characters leveling up for a very long time. Note that you cannot do the time warp. If you go into Dillmoor you will lose the chance for this leveling up trick. This also gives you the chance to get and sell a lot of your components and gather the rare ones, like the bracelet. Remember that Chimera components are difficult to find; do not sell them. This trick also gives you the chance to get the money together to afford two of every item in Athlum and to save to get two of every item in Celepaleis. Remember to buy the Flamberg for 7,500. Equip it and keep using it until you can unlock its secret attack. This will take some time. You will have another way to make money and the seldom level up after entering Dillmoor. Visit each area at least 150 times. This will also unlock the special monsters that are in each area, such as the special Landworm in the high chambers of Robelia Castle (before you open up the upper area with Emma), and the flying dragon or land dragon in Dillmoor, and the land dragon and twp other special monsters to fight in Gaslin Caves. This will work better if you have an accessory with an addition to Occurrences. These monsters will not show up until you go through Dillmoor, Baulson's Quest, and Celepaleis.
