This centers on exactly what you can do with items and where you can find them. Refining items can result in either more items, or magic; if it's magic, it will be marked with a *. Any option with an NR! next to it means that I don't recommend using it. Most of Siren's Tool-RF and Carbuncle's Recov Med-RF will probably have this on it. The format is: Item name, main item use (when applicable), other uses, then a *, then how to get that item. The NR! will only appear in the uses for that item (above the *), so first look at the item you want to refine! The mugging and dropping guides I used with extreme gratitude to Vercingetorix were unfortunately far from complete. As I play the game a second time I'll be making notes for an eventual update, but till then send in anything you know that I don't! I am not here to outline every single method of how to get every item. If I refer to a quest, or am not clear enough on the exact details of acquiring a certain item, please refer to the main walkthrough in GameFAQs, by Cephiroth (cephiroth@yahoo.com). ---------------- I.
