There are two more spells you missed, Dragon.

Faith - Which makes your magic spells hit for more damage.

Bubble - Doubles your current max HP. (I'm not sure if your characters can have over 9999 hp in this game or not. Though I had characters with 14 to 15k+ in FFXII.)

also, you missed the Piercing Magic Augment.

It let's you use magic on reflected monsters/characters. Works great on rosa, just reflect your characters and you're protected against spells that don't go through reflect, then have Rosa cure when needed.

There is also a +50% mp and hp augments as well

And there is one to give you more Gil as well, but you have to spend 100k to get it and do the dancer thing in Toria so you can go to the dressing room to get it.

Also, I think you Xlom3000 said  Life's Atheme does 10% like pray, which is wrong, it does 5%. It last as long as Edward doesn't get hit, or after a long time.

It's really easy to abuse bless in this game, as Rydia's whips can paralyze most enemies, in behemoth's. I've left many battles in the final dungeon with full hp/mp cause of the Paralyze and Bless combo.

Added your information to the first post. I omitted HP/MP +50% as the name alone makes it obvious what it does. I suppose you could say that about a few of the others I already have but...

The HP Boost is most beneficial on Rydia... since it allows the Mist Dragon to be cheap and overpowered.

If you remove Edward's commands that allow him to do any damage he'll gain an auto-battle script when you're fighting the sahagin at Kaipo...except you can still control him too. It's funny watching him attack while singing life's anthem.

I was reading somewhere.. maybe gamefaq's that there is a augment that make's it possible to make spells that's not normally multi-targetable like flare and holy. But I'm not 100% sure.

 :edit:

Omnicasting - Let's spells that aren't normally multitarget.. well multitarget!

Omnicasting is already on the list. Also, don't list anything from GameFAQs until you've verified it yourself, I just read a terrible description of the cursed ring that was clearly pulled from someone's rectal orifice, I'd rather not list something until I've confirmed how it works.

since when does kain miss coming down from a jump? i'm getting the sword in eblan, and kain came down on the steel golem and actually missed. i don't think that's ever happened before.

 :edit:

and that was a waste. i thought it would be stronger than the flame sword. ah well.

Ah yeah, forgot to mention that, it seems like enemies actually have an evasion stat now. Check the help window, it lists the accuracy of your attack, and it's not always the same as the accuracy of your weapon. Useful for status effecting magic and steal, so you can see if it's even worth bothering with.

It's all about hit rate. If you equipped the Blood/Drain Spear, Jump is not immune to hit rate awfulness. Only Aim is the only command that guarentees a hit (although I've seen it miss early game, but for what reason, I have no idea).

Edit: If evasion has been worked back in, it is factored after hit rate tests.

yeah, i just checked the guide. mad ogres have an evasion rate of 5. kain has the wind spear, and his accuracy is 80% with it.  ah well.  just thought it was interesting due to its rarity. not(rare) in this version, though, i guess.

I might have to pick up a copy of that guide, sounds like it's actually pretty useful. Does it list which elements monsters attack with?

Ah, damn, well at least it appears to have a complete stat listing, something that was definitely missing from the in-game bestiary. I bet they short changed the one in-game to sell more guides in an age where they've been rendered a waste of money by the internet. </wacky conspiracy theory>

i never, ever, ever buy guides, but this one is pretty nice and i really liked all the art, so i couldn't help it(plus, it was $13 on amazon :) )

as for the conspiracy theory, i wouldn't doubt it.  :)

for guide, yes, it lists complete stats, 1.5/1/.5 responses to all elements, doom weakness, gil, exp, hp, etc, etc. also, drops, steal, and vulnerable status ailments.

btw, i was just looking something up and stopped to read some of the character bios.  i'll quote the guide here:

"with the right buffs and augments, kain can eventually use jump to deal 99,999 damage!"

i know that you were discussing using focus and darkness, et al, to seriously raise cain's jump damage. 

one last question,

if i'm the last poster in a topic and i edit my post, does it come up as "new" again so it will be noticed? cause that would seriously cut down on my double posting.

 :edit:

you might find this pic handy, too:

it's a full list of which augment raises which stat(s) post-70.
