II. ITEMS

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 items appear in the order that they
are shown on the item screen, NOT in alphabetical order. To find the item you want, 
use the "Find" command on your browser or text editor (if you can make it match the
case, remember that all the entries are in uppercase.)

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).

If you see "random" by a boss, that means that it drops that item or a different one
randomly.

TIPS:
-If the enemy you're trying to defeat/mug does not have the item you're looking for, try
using GF Tonberry's LV Up or LV Down skill. (Generally, the better items are received
from higher-level enemies.) Also try equipping GF Bahamut's skill "Rare Item" which also
affects mugging chances. Remember that if you mug a boss, you can no longer receive any 
items from it, so choose which one you want! The only exception is the magazine you 
receive from BGH251F2, and any cards.
-If you Card an enemy, however, you CAN still collect items afterwards (or, alternatively,
you can mug them and then Card them.) The payoff is usually double the amount of items!
-If you don't see a listed item offered at a shop, you need to learn GF Tonberry's 
"Familiar" ability.
-Speaking of which, since Tonberry is so important for a lot of these items, here's a
short and easy way to get him: First you have to enter the Centra Ruins and get Odin;
afterwards, you have to have 20 Chef's Knives in your inventory to get the Tonberry
King to appear inside the Ruins. To maximize your Chef's Knives, first mug a Tonberry in
the Ruins and then whittle his HP down and Card him. Modifying his card will yield
yet another Chef's Knife! After you get 20, the Tonberry King will randomly appear in 
battle after defeating another Tonberry.
-You can only have 100 of any item at any time, so remember that before you modify any 
cards which give you 100 of an item (e.g. Cerberus, Quezacotl); the excess items will
be discarded.
-Good luck!

III. MAGIC LIST

This is a comprehensive list of the uses of magic, their stat-raising abilities,
and where to find them. I'll only give one or two Draw Points and enemies who carry
the spell; I'm not going to list every single one. Here are the abbreviations
I'll be using: ED = Elemental Defense; EA = Elemental Attack; SD = Status Defense;
SA = Status Attack. The format is basically the same as the Items list, but there
are three sections: uses (main use and refining uses), stat raising, and where to
get it (the sections are separated by a *.) The values for stat raising are indicated
for when 100 spells are junctioned to the stat. The ones which are recommended are
marked with a ^. Note that every spell can only be gained from one type of refining
ability, so it will only be listed once.

Stat explanations: 
HP: Hit Points
STR: Strength (effectiveness of physical attack)
VIT: Vitality (defense against physical attacks)
MAG: Magic (effectiveness of magical attack)
SPR: Spirit (defense against magical attack)
SPD: Speed (rate at which ATB bar fills up)
EVA: Evade (chance of evading physical attacks - max of 100%)
HIT: Hit (accuracy with physical attacks - max of 255%)
LUCK: Luck (not really known)

TIPS: 
-To get the most magic out of a Draw Point or enemy, make sure the character
who Draws has a high Magic stat.
-You can only draw from an enemy or Draw Point if you are Junctioned with the
Draw command!
-As a rule, draw points on the overworld (which are invisible) yield less spells at
one time than ones in dungeons/towns, but they usually refill faster. See next entry.
-You can only draw 9 spells from one monster in a single turn, but monsters carry
unlimited spells. The best way to get magic in the game is to put a monster to sleep 
or some other status which renders it impotent (like Blind for physical monsters and 
Silence for magical ones) - using Doomtrain will work nicely in almost any case - 
and then draw as many spells as you want from it!
-If an enemy does not have the spell listed when you try, use Tonberry's LV Up
skill. A (HL) means that only high-level (above Lv.40 or so) monsters carry that spell.
-Spell groups (Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Cure) almost always are carried by the same
monster and as the monster raises levels, so does the spell it carries.
-The higher-level spells are only kept by powerful enemies and so are tough to draw 
for them. The best way to get these is to go to the Islands Closest To Heaven and Hell 
(see section V), equip Diablos's Enc-None ability, and enjoy! Clean out one island, head
to the next one, and by the time you're done there, the first island will have 
regenerated! The spells you'll find are: Meteor, Ultima, Holy, Aura, Triple, Tornado,
Quake, and Full-life. Warning; you'll almost never receive more than 5 spells per Draw
Point on these islands, no matter how high your Magic stat is.

VII. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-----------------

I know, this is supposed to be just an item and magic FAQ, but I'm getting a lot of flak
from this stuff, so I'll just outline the basic quests you'll need to get some of the
items mentioned here.

Q. How do I complete the Chocobo Forests and what are they good for?

No, this doesn't belong here at all. But I had it written down already anyway, so here 
goes. 8-) The basic idea is to use the ChocoSonar to find "hot spots" and the ChocoZiner
to interact with them. The goal is to have only one chicobo left. When there's only one 
chicobo around, talk to it to find the mother chocobo.

-Sometimes the Sonar is very sensitive and will only give you a reading if you're in an exact 
spot. This can be very annoying sometimes!
-Blowing the Ziner causes some Chicobos to fall and some to rise. You have to experiment to 
see which one causes what. That's the challenge in the forests. Some spots cause only two 
chocobos to fall, for example, while blowing it again would cause four of them to rise.
-Talk to the Chocoboy for a hint: he'll tell you the name of the forest, which is usually 
fairly helpful. For the Solitary Forest, you'll have to wander around in the top-right area 
for quite a while until you manage to find the exact spot where the lone chicobo is hiding. 
For the Roaming Forest, you'll have to go almost all the way down to the entrance to find one 
of the chicobos.
-Once you've found the mother chocobo, don't get on it right away! Walk around some more with 
the ChocoSonar until you hit another spot; then use the Ziner to make the Chocobo search 
there. It'll dig up some Stones (Ultima, Protect, Flare etc.) and you will have completed the 
Forest. Oh, in one forest the Chocoboy is standing on the spot where you
have to search. If he seems perturbed about something, try to initiate a card game and
tell him to move.
-Completing all of the Chocobo Forests and entering the Chocobo Sanctuary will net you
the Chicobo card. Losing this in the Card Queen Quest will get you the Chubby Chocobo
card; modify it for 100 LuvLuvG's!

Q. In Laguna's second dream sequence, do I have to open all three hatches? Can I get the
Old Key for good?

-It is a good idea to open all three hatches (you'll return here later as Squall 
and each hatch will have a great item inside). However, you can only open one manually. One 
will open by pushing the detonator and another will open if you push the boulder you see (2
screens up from the detonator). I'm not sure if you can open them all after pushing the 
detonator in the wrong order. *^_^*
