Increasing Stats

Im sure this has been posted before in here but i just cant find it. What im looking for is a list of ways to get Power up items (like Srt Up and Mag Up) but mainly Luck Up (without having to get 100 curse spikes, refine to dark matter, refine to Luck-J scroll refine to Luck up) and a way to get Hit Up (if it exists). Thanks

I don’t think there’s a Hit Up. Anyway, permanently increasing stats in FFVIII is a long tedious task, even worse than FFVIII and not really worth it. But to get those items, other than simply finding or refining a few, you need Eden’s Devour ability. Here’s a page (http://www.ffinsider.net/ff8/tips.php) that has the full info right on the top as to exactly what enemies you’re gonna need to use Devour on to increase those stats.

by perminantly increasing you stats enough you wont need to use the % increases making more room for other abilities. Normaly i would do this justfor HP and Str but im going to see how much patience i really have. The link you gave to FFinsider dosn’t have Spd Up, Vit Up or Luck Up Via refining items (100 cactas thorns –> 1 hundred needles –> 1 Spd Up. 50 Orihalcon –> 5 Adamantine –> 1 Vit Up. Luck Up described above) I prefur to do this with items then devour. Then thiers the fact that i want to have this done before fighting Ultimate wepion (therefor before having Eden).

Like I said though, right pain in the arse compared with FFVII — Pre-emptive Strike / Conformer / Morph / Mega-All.

slightly off the subject herer, but still I do prefur FFVIIIs style of stat increasing and the whole juntion system over FFVIIs Meteria system.

Well, I think we’ve thoroughly canvassed the original subject here anyway, and since it is related…

Er, okay, but might I ask why? FFVII’s is a lot faster.

I understand what you’re saying about junctions, but when it comes to permanent stat-increasing, FFVII is definitely faster to work with.

In FFVIII I can get the nessasary charactors ststs to 255 (max) except for Eva and Hit (though Eva increases when Spd increases so Ill have to see what happens and Squalls Hitis allways 255% but i could experiment with other magics for the other people) but im unsure how to do this on FFVII except for just leveling up.

But that’s through junctioning — I’m talking about permanent stat-increases using the items.

In FFVIII I can get the nessasary charactors ststs to 255 using the power up items (eg. Spd Up, Vit Up) except for Eva and Hit (because Eva Up and Hit Up may not exist) but im unsure how to do this on FFVII except for just leveling up.

Oh — FFVII has items like that too! They’re called "Source" and they’re a lot easier to get. This isn’t the FFVII section though. If you’re not sure how to get FFVII "Source" items and want to know, start a thread about it in the FFVII section and let me know where it is and I’ll get ya’ the full details.
