Using Mega_Tyrant's list (and modding any spares along the way), about 13 hours of playing Cards in Balamb (quicker if you use later/better areas) will net you a Twin Lance, and MOST of the items need to upgrade most weapons after Timber. The easiest thing to get are the dragon fangs which you can get from a level 20-30 T-Rexaur (forest outside of Balamb or the Balamb Garden training center - 20% drop rate), or a level 1-9 Grendel (the forest with the second dream sequence after Timber - 70% drop rate), or a level 20-30 Grendel (same forest as the level 1-9 Grendel - only a 20% drop rate, which is still pretty decent). That does mean your average party level has to be at least around level 30+ though. You can either card card mod the Minotaur card into Adamantine, or you can go to the beach across from Dollet (after you leave Timber) and fight an Adamantoise that's level 30+, and they have a good chance of dropping Adamantine. He's more difficult so I'd suggest playing the old guy at the reception desk. Or you can get them from the 'guy in the back' in the cafeteria (the same guy you can win the Quistis card from). You can get them from the old guy at the reception desk (one screen south of the lobby with the save point). The 20 Elnoyle cards aren't that hard if you like Triple Triad. I actually wrote up a guide for this here. Originally posted by Raylos.now if you want to get the Lionheart on disc one. therapist, since you need i believe 20 elviole cards, the brothers card, some screws and i don't quite remember the last item but it's quite easy compared to the 20 cards, you can essentially Hit for 9999 on disc 1 while also getting Squalls ultimate weapon if you grind hard enough, it's fun.

You pretty much can break the game even before leaving for the Seed Exam or even getting Ifrit if you wanna struggle with card duels, now if you want to get the Lionheart on disc one. Go to the nearby city, talk(challenge to a card duel) to the queen of cards(lady infront of the train station) check she has the rule:all if she does cool, quit and go back to the garden, duel people until the all rule gets spread, keep winning cards and ♥♥♥♥(easier if you just go for ifrit as he gives you his card) learn more Transform X into Y Magic with your Gfs and also the Card to Item from Quetzalcoatl and.

it's a nice boost but if you want to break the game. Go to the coast, set shiva to learn Str-J, kill the fishes for fins, once she learns that put her to learn Ice magic transformation, learn that with the fishes, turn fish fins into Water, equip that to Str and.
