Unlimited SaGa: My Impressions

Mwahahaha, here’s how to get lots of tough-to-get materials.

steel Lv.2: rarely works
You’ll know it worked if: attack is 1 pt. less than the plain steel version of the weapon
Base material: steel, iron, ironstone
Additional material: copse, oak, cedar, ash

I prefer ironstone for making this: the usual result is iron, so when you get a “steel knife” or whatnot you always know it’s Steel Lv2 without checking the attack power.

mullock Lv2:
Base material: mullock
Additional Material: topaz, opal, ravenite, lazuli, or carnelian, mullock

But don’t use two mullocks. Bestials stones are far easier to come by, especially later in the game.

steel: usually works
Base material: iron
Additional material: copse, oak, cedar, ash

iron: usually works
Base material: ironstone
Additional material: copse, oak, cedar ash

In case the shops don’t sell this anymore:
mullock: rarely works
Base material: quartz, silver, obsidian
Additional material: copse

First of all, are the Damascus weapons like Quells from SaGa Frontier 2 with the infinite durability? If not, then does their attack power make up for it because I’m kinda tired of having my weapons break. Constantly.

Also, Ajora would know- are there any other weapons than Henri’s blade that have infinite durability?

#24

Damascus generate pretty high powered weapons as far as I’ve heard, in like the 70’s range (I haven’t tried to make any yet, I’m content with my Silver Weapons atm).

Also, what you could do is mix to get the weapon you like, and keep forging it together with crappy materials. That keeps it as the same weapon but with way more durability. There are cons to this, though…

  1. Sometimes you’ll change/lose abilities, but you’ll have much more uses, and you can draw them out later. To try and avoid those problems, blacksmith em’ together with alike weapons.

  2. It takes a long ass time sometimes. When I have to ‘refuel’ we’ll call it, it takes me anywhere from 10-20 minutes to prepare all my weapons. Luckily you don’t have to do it for 3 dungeons or so.

#25

I know of no other weapons that last forever besides his special ones. Heck I haven’t even played Laura’s quest. But thanks to quick fix level 3 on my panel grid on Sapphire, I’ve been able to use my weapons just fine through several dungeons.

#26

Ah, nice. I’ve got Quick Fix Level 1, and it’s thus far shown it’s use in destroying my weapons, not fixing them.

#27

For some stupid reason with quick fix level 3, I have a much better chance of fixing the weapon if I rapidly press X. Ie hitting the green spot. Maybe it’s because at level 3 there are enough green panels, I can force myself to it much easier by a quick rapid button push. At least eaiser than letting the thing spin.

St.Ajora

#28

Yeah, quick fix level 2 and 3 are really cheap because the reel always starts in the same place, and there are like 5 green lights right at the start. :stuck_out_tongue:

#29

And Quick Fix level 1 sucks because there’s hardly any greens and starts off on a red =P

#30

Ok, for someone like me who liked both SaGa Frontiers, would this game be a good buy?

#31

Eh, it really depends. It’s not overly similar to those two games- if you do like SaGa games, I guess you’d probably like it though. It’s hard to say due to how weird USaGa is.

#32

/me is just gonna take advantage of the 7-day return policy at gamestop

#33

Well I enjoy both SaGa Frontiers and I enjoy U.SaGa. But then again SaGa is my favorite series. So go figure with that.

Is it just me, or is the Abandoned Castle sidequest nearly impossible? I’ve been getting hit with monsters that I can’t come CLOSE to killing (gee, I’ve done 2000 Hp of damage, and it’s still walking), and the turn limit is way too low. I rushed through it losing most of my LP in the process, and I still couldn’t get to the boss in time. I don’t know when I get a 4th person, and I don’t want to postpone this quest since they seem to disappear if you wait too long.

#35

If a quest is that full of monsters it is probably better to wait off. In any case I just sort of guessed my way through most quests. I don’t think I’ve done that quest though.

My current situation is I’m in the middle of Judy’s quest. And just when I think I’m done with the tablet learning, I get more of them. I have about six people in my party currently of course.

St.Ajora

#36

I’m in the 4th part of Judy’s trip with Henri and just got Michelle who has abysmal LP. 6 LP? Buh, whenever I get more people, she’ll be replaced. After getting to the boss of the Abandoned Castle and dying (yay, Laura had 1 LP left), I’ve given up on it completely.

#37

Don’t you mean Laura’s trip with Henri? In any case I’m at the final battle for Judy’s quest. Or at least I can go there. Just need to decide who I want to level up, of course.

St.Ajora

#38

Er yeah, Laura not Judy, heh.

#39

And speaking of Judy’s quest. I’ve won. The final battle was harder, but getting to the final boss was definitely easier in the end.

St.Ajora

#40

Congrats Ajora =D. I’m about to just give up on Laura’s quest for yet another new game considering the monsters in the main adventure have become way too hard. I can’t even get nearly to the end of the 4th part of the quest no matter how hard I try. Ugh, this game is really starting to piss me off.

#41

I probably will be playing Laura as my third or fourth game. Especially with the desire to hear BT Ver 8 in Ventus’ quest. In any case after awhile, I got sick of weak enemies and sometimes welcome the tougher enemies. So I can actually get level 4 skills. Sometimes though I’m surprised when I do win some battles.
