============================== Tales of Destiny PS2 Material/Jewel Guide Version 1.00 Created By: Leroy (PixyJunket) Copyright 2006 Larry Capasso ============================== This guide covers jewel creation for the PS2 remix of Tales of Destiny. It is primarily designed as a brief explanation of the refining process along with charts of the various materials and what effects they have when refined into jewels. If Bandai-Namco surprises us with an English release, this guide will be useless as the material/jewel effects are listed in their descriptions! The original material/jewel list was taken from the Japanese site @WIKI, so I'd like to give them full credit for their work on that. http://www16.atwiki.jp/tod_remake/ Any suggestions or corrections can be sent to my gmail address: pixyjunket. ------------------------------ Version History ------------------------------ 12/19/06 - 1.00 - First Version! ============================== 00.

Jewel Creation ============================== Jewels are created though the "Reraizu" [リライズ] menu option. That in itself is a bit of Engrish, so I'll just refer to it as Refine from here on. Refining, if you don't already know, allows you to use Lens to upgrade various items. A "Jewel" [宝石] is created by refining raw "Material" [マテリアル]. Once a jewel is created, it can be equipped. Each character can equip two jewels. Jewels can then be further refined to enhance or change a secondary attribute. The secondary attribute is simply a numeric increase to any of the base stats (attack, defense, etc.). Each base stat is represented by a color (chart below). When you first refine a material, you can choose from red, blue, yellow and green. You will be presented with different color choices on each subsequent refine based on the current color of the jewel. For example, a Red Crsytal Poison+1 [赤晶ポイズン＋１] prevents poison status as well as giving a +10 bonus to that character's attack stat. Mary as a Support Character will randomly upgrade the levels of already created jewels (equipped or not). Their color will remain the same through this method. I'll also provide a step-by-step "How To" in case anyone needs it: 1. Choose Refine [リライズ] from the main menu. 2. Choose a Poison Material [ポイズンマテリアル] from your material list (they will be listed under the "gel/gummi" icon). 3. Choose Red Crystal Poison+1 [赤晶ポイズン＋１] from the four options. The Lens required will be listed in the text box below along with a "party level" requirement (if not exceeded). Basically, if you see a red number in the text box, you'll need to level up that many times. 4. Voila! You can now equip it or further refine this jewel through the same process by choosing this jewel from the Refine menu instead of the material. ------------------------------ Jewel Color Chart ------------------------------ [赤晶] Red Crystal = [攻撃力] Attack [青晶] Blue Crystal = [防御力] Defense [黄晶] Yellow Crystal = [術攻撃力] Magic Attack [緑晶] Green Crystal = [術防御力] Magic Defense [白晶] White Crystal = [体力] Physical Strength [黒晶] Black Crystal = [命中率] Hit Rate [紫晶] Purple Crystal = [集中力] Concentration [橙晶] Orange Crystal = [回避率] Evade Rate ------------------------------ Jewel Level Chart ------------------------------ (Jewel Level) = (Stat Bonus) +1 = +10 +2 = +16 +3 = +23 +4 = +31 +5 = +40 +6 = +50 +7 = +61 +8 = +73 ============================== 02.
