Also in the same battle after you use that rod you can equip a new one by going back into the item menu and dragging it into your equip space.
Update #3
First I've the gauntlet of meteor bosses starting with Titan. Super easy kill, but his post-death Earthquake hurt quite a bit.
I don't quite remember this next fight, but I do remember copious amounts of !Gaia spamming.
Finally, the Purobolosi were killed easily with Silence Spellblade, but they exploded a lot.
Anyway, I finally made it to World 2, but it was right after I saved that I realized I forgot to buy any Flame Rings. I'll likely regret that later. But, I got to kill the Abducter at least.
Sorry, but I forgot to take a picture of the first Gilgamesh fight, so here is a picture from the second fight twice. That's almost just as good.
And this is the part where I realize that Geomancers are really amazing at certain points in the game. I did this many times and it felt great every time.
After I had my fill of Geoterrorism I payed my Pheonix Down tax to the T-Rex in the waterway.
I don't remember the miniplants being so weak, but they all died to one !Kick instantly. Other than that, it was straight !Gaia until victory. The second picture here is of my HP/MP amounts after the fight. I don't even think the Dragon Pod attacked me once.
Oddly enough, Gilgamesh was harder to beat the second time than he was this time. He and Enkidu both died without incident.
I admit that I had no business defeating Atomos with my weak party, but I was lucky enough to get a lot of Sword Dances with my Dancing Dagger.

The Crystals have always been pretty difficult for me, but I managed to concoct a winning strategy last year and employed it again this year. Basically, I equipped my MK with Bone Mail and a Flame Shield (that was conveniently located right before this fight). From the start of the fight, weaken the fire Crystal until he spams Firaga--healing you for about 1500 HP each time--and then kill the other three Crystals one at a time. With the Bone Mail, he takes 0 damage and he absorbs the Firagas with his shield. I also had to mix him a Goliath Tonic just to be safe. It was a long fight, but not that bad.
And the fight with X-Death was, well the fight with X-Death. You guys know how it is.

Wait, Galuf dies? What the fuck?
Yay, lots of exposition! In this session, I had:
-Depression cured by the power of violence!
-Flashbacks to scenes I just witnessed!
-A reminder of the Japanese disaster earlier this year!
-Bartz plays vet!
-Galuf reminisces about the good old days in the desert!
-Galuf throws a Chimaera at the Sand Worm, preventing the murder of Faris!
-We play hide and seek with King Tycoon!
-We destroy a working teleporter!
-We play hide and seek with a frog for 10 gil!
-Bartz tries working at Red Lobster and is fired for being too efficient!
-Faris shows why Berserkers are useful by being the only effective fighter against the Adamantoise!
-We blow up a big gun while drowning in inuendo!
So I'm about to enter the Ronka Ruins. Should be pretty easy, except for the Archeoavis. I think I'm done for tonight though, might work on some artwork.

Adventures of my white mage.
Well bust through the start and got to the water crystal.
1. The Crab boss took the longest but easy.
2. Siren was easy since I could cure her death form
3. Kept running out of mp and hp fighting the wife and husband so I went back to ship graveyard and grinded to level 10 and beat them both using protect cure and 20-30 damage per attack.
4. Fought the Mammoth thing before the water tower. Protect everyone. This one took a long time. It basically has two phases. First phase was easy. Second phase he counters every attack with two attacks. So I only attacked with Bartz who had a morning star while everyone else defended or cure.
Well here comes some help right?
Well I guess no since the next class is.
@ccbfan315 has gotten the Water Crystal Shards and unlocked 'Berserker'. HAHAHAHAHAHA
LOL white mage first then Berserker. Still no reliable damage but still better than 4 white mages. At least I'm getting a challenge out of this. I complained the last 2 years about it being too easy.
Speaking of which I forgot the rules. Do you have to use two of each class after the water crystal or can you use 3 and 1.

Doing some things.
This jerk had a bunch of shadows that my zerked Knight couldn't pin down. He got caught eventually though.
Too bad he didn't have the mp to cast Holy. Thanks to my reflect it would have bounced back and healed him....potentially creating a nasty loop.
Doing anything to this guy aside from casting spells causes him to respond with a reset. I'm stuck with terribad comet and basically waiting until he starts throwing out level 3 spells with crazy speed.
And just like that's he gone.
Requiem is great for these nasty and annoying foes.
These guys love to revive themselves and throw out delta attacks if you don't kill them all at once. Jokes on them because Delta Attack is reflectable.
The result is predictable.
Unfortunately I just got a new game review to do so I'll put in work on that before I come back to this.

Now in World 2 proper. With Samurai Bartz, the Abductor was not much of a problem, though I did need to use a Hi-Potion since he pulled Hurricane out on the second turn. Now comes another one of my favorite scenes: Galuf's bad-ass solo march to break the party out of jail, and the Battle on the Big Bridge. As a Geomancer, Galuf tore through the opposition with the !Gaia attack Wind Slash, beat Gilgamesh for the first time, and freed the party. Now with a complete party, we ventured out into the World 2 map. World 2 is where Geomancers really shine, since one of the !Gaia attacks in the swamps insta-kills a mob of enemies. Good place for grinding.
As for the Big Bridge, not much trouble there, even with Gilgamesh, as I had the physical prowess of Bartz the Berserker and Samurai Faris, and the White Magic and !Gaia attacks of Lenna and Galuf (Galuf mastered Geomancer, so I switched their jobs). After that, the road to Regole was mostly swamp, so it was easy going with the power of !Gaia.

LOL just got past Karnak and found out my third job.
I can't even make this up.
@ccbfan315 has aquired the Fire Crystal job 'Bard' and will no longer fear the undead!
So far I got White Mage, Berserker, Bard. No damage at all. Bards great as support characters. The problem is there's no one to support. Hide and leave GBA on might be a prime strategy at this point.
Anyone get a worse roll than me so far?

The age old question of what is the worst party:
I've had one of the contenders, Monk, Berserker, Beast Master, Dragoon.
Knight-Best Weapons and Armor. Normally Equip Swords would be useless, but its actually decent in Fiesta for certain classes (Makes Berserkers even better for instance.)
Monk (Barefisted is amazing early on, and those plus HP's can be put to decent use in certain places.)
Thief (Extra, free equipment to make up for slow start)
White mage (Healing and decent utility spells)
Black mage (Backrow damage and eventually decent healing plus Rods)
Blue mage (Blue magic is great in this game. Takes time to get with certain fiesta parties, but still good. Underrated equips too.)
Mystic knight (Great equips, eventual healing, sick elemental damage)
Time mage (Equip Rod is the icing on the delicious time/space magic cake.)
Summoner (Probably the best game for summoners, even their call ability is decent)
Red mage (Really great ability in regular game, in fiesta can be somewhat lessened with the wrong party)
Berserker (Underrated but still the worst job in the tree. Terrible synergy. Equip Axes+Death Sickle can be decent for the end of world 1 and part of world 2.)
Mime (Not normally apart of Fiesta Challenge, but maybe should be.)
Beastmaster (If you have a Blue Mage this might be the best complimentary job in the Fiesta. Without...Whips are occasionally good and with proper captures you can beat anything. Yellow Dragons are civilization.)
Geomancer (Really decent in certain parts, but they definitely show their age later on.)
Ninja (Two weapons is just as good if not better in Fiesta.)
Bard (Bards can solo the game. People not in the know tend to underestimate them. It is true that they don't show their true worth until world three but man, maybe the second best class in this challenge.)
Ranger (Xstrike is good. Bows can be good. Good class.)
Samurai (GP toss, strong weapons, can beat the game with four gp tossers that can heal. Good class)
Dragoon (Lance is a decent ability for recovering MP, but Mystery Waltz will do just as well. Equip Lances might be the worst equip in the game. Decent for killing Shinryu, but not much else.)
Dancer (Equip Ribbons, 50% Swords dance rate, awesome class. No HP though.)
Chemist (The hands down best class in the game.)
So I submit that the worst party in the game is:
Monk
Berserker
Geomancer
Dragoon.
No real synergy. No decent way of healing. Bad equipment. Beastmaster and Geomancer is the only real argument. Beastmaster has the incredible powers of control and the one shot pokémon cannon. Geomancer has the easier time getting through exdeath's castle and a decent ability for kills before the beginning of world 2.

I don't know why people underestimate monks. They're pretty good damager and have tricks you can do to be pretty powerful. I think Thief is much worse and even White Mage if the rest of the classes lack a damage dealer.
Geomancer I've never used so I have no clue but depending on the situation Bard might be worst. Again they're great supports but unless you want every battle to last 4 hours you need damage dealers.
Earth Class all are good but I do agree Dragoons are the worst. Still good though.
IMO this current version doesn't have the worse party. The old version with Thief, White Mage, Berserker, and Bard.
This version though I say
Thief
Berserker
Elemtal
Dragoon

Thieves can steal and that makes the game a lot easier, there is some absolutely nasty stuff you can steal before you ever get the Thief's Knife and speed is a very underrated ability. Also because of how mechanics work they become absolutely deadly with the Chicken Knife at the end of the game. Monks can basically get a lot of HP and make any class do decent frontrow damage for part of the game.
Basically none of the first crystal jobs are bad, so you have to pick the one that least helps you beat the game, and that is probably Monk.
Boss Marathon!
Oh fuck. This is where I got stomped last year and couldn't finish.
Fuck you and your chain quake bullshit.
Round 2:
YESSSS
Died so fast I didn't even cap it.
Ouch. Was not expecting that. I saw this screen three times.
Round Four: Cast Shell before doing ANYTHING.
Hardest part was the beginning, but I came out strong in the end.
Oh SHI-
God damn it. I might need to gain a few levels first

I made a twitter account just for this with a spare email account. I'm never going to use it again, either, so just do that.Boney said:But I don't have twitter!

listen to the mad man
I don't really understand the Twitter hate/obstinacy.
1) You don't need to give any biographical data.
2) No one can see the email address you used to register and you're free to use a junk email. You will never be contacted by email.
2) Friends requests aren't symmetrical, so you don't need to follow someone just because they want to follow you.
3) You can delete any/all tweets you've ever posted very quickly.
4) There is exactly one privacy setting. Turn it on and only people you approve can see your stuff.
You couldn't make a site that's smaller and less obtrusive than Twitter is. You don't even need to use the website. You can use one of dozens of third party programs, phone apps, etc. Don't like the website? Don't use it.
It takes five seconds to sign up for. You are not at any risk. You don't need to do anything you don't want to do. Use a disposable email and password.
