One of my favourite things about Star Ocean Till the End of Time is the ability to make all sorts of equipment set ups for your characters - especially with Peppita in the team as she enables you to use all sorts of different factors and yet still max ATK with Power Dance
I love tinkering around
Well at least once I've amassed millions of fol using a money weapon so I don't end up poor after.
Synthesis can be so darn expensive sometimes in this game - I think I had to pay half a million fol just to synth something onto one of Fayt's weapons o_o
I'm usually too lazy to do much before getting a money weapon
It's only really mass boots of prowess manufactoring that's really expensive though so sometimes if I can be bothered and have enough money I'll dress up Maze of Tribulations weapons for my team
So ... let's post our equipment set ups here
I'll start -
~*Uber MP Tank Peppita*
Lunatic Shoes
Raging Anger
+20% Max MP
+20% Max MP
+20% Max MP
+20% Max MP
+20% Max MP
6% MP Regen
No HP damage/-3 Fury
Armour - Valkyrie Garb
Accessories - Tri Emblem + Victory Trophy
Convert Damage to MP (Preserve HP) + Berserk ON
All mp increasing berries used on Peppita at L255 - do NOT use these berries or their cousins the hp increasing berries at lower levels or they will not have maximum effect (this applies to all characters) - in this order magi+ berry, magi+ berry, magi+ berry, magi berry, magi+ berry, magi+ berry.
Short X - Power Dance
Short O - Kaboom/Faerie Friend/Dream Hammer/offensive skill of choice
Support - Critical Hit MP + Max Fury for moves that also deal MP damage like Dream Hammer, Max Fury + First Aid otherwise.
With this set up Peppita will have well over 40'000 MP for durability yet will still be able to contribute offensively in battle as well thanks to Power Dance. Pwnge
For Dream Hammer usage use the -3 Fury as the last factor on the weapon or for two 300% Faerie Friends do the same. If you're happy with just the one Faerie Friend or are using something else entirely use the No HP damage 30% of the time factor for a chance of some extra durability.
*No HP damage factors are factored in before HP damage is converted.
Well I had over 50'000 MP with Peppita once but I can't remember if that was with five or with six +20% MP factors
No other character apart from Maria can get their MP that high and yet still be able to wield mass damage in battle also
