Question about completing Grathnode Collection

[Mad_Cartoonist]

I just start my second round and for some funny reason, I love this game's Grathnode/Enhancing system, to the point that I wanna complete the collection.

My question is, is there anything I should be aware of in attempting this?
Missables? One-of-kind-crystals? Lyra's item searches? Recrystallization?
Anything related on this matter.

I'm currently on Aurica's path, just beat the crap out of

Is there any crystal exclusively on Misha's path?

Hope this place is still alive.
Thanks in advance >_<

I believe Plasma Soul can be only be gotten after the Bourd battle on Misha's path, and only if you activated all of the Harmocrystals during that battle.

One-of-kind-crystals?

I think recrystallizing the girls' gifts to Lyner (Topology Ribbon, Sky's Musical Box, Ocarina of Heaven, Ring of Aria) might be the only way to get the Origin Alpha, Origin Beta, Origin Gamma, and Origin Omega crystals, although I'm not totally sure.

So it looks like I have to be playing Misha's path after all ._.
Gotta gather enough courage to not take Aurica's path.

I believe one of the gifts is from Shurelia, right? (I got the Ocarina and Musicbox)
There's the ribbon and a ring. Which one is from Shurelia and how do I get the other one?

Btw, thanks for replying >_<
Been waiting for some one to speak up for ages now, lol.

According to Gamefaqs, they're both from Shurelia. You get the ribbon after you complete Level 3 of Shurelia's cosmosphere, and you get the ring after you complete Level 5.
By the way, I just remembered... After Tastiella steps aside to let you face Mir at the very end of the game, don't forget to talk to her before entering the room. That way, you'll get the Brilliant Life Crest crystal, and I'm pretty sure it's the only way to get it.

Thanks for the reply >_<

That helped me a lot.

[IPDBlanca]

You're welcome!
You may already be aware of this, but Spica changes her selection of Grathnode crystals after every battle. She also tends to sell you crystals you currently don't have, which can be useful for completing your collection. Of course, some of them are quite expensive, so the Gravard Compass trick can prove useful here. Good luck! That's all the hints I can think of right now.

[Mad_Cartoonist]

Okay.

Thanks a bunch >_<

Her selection is pretty expensive though ._.

I'll need to look at the trick.

The trick is well worth it I gotta say. I got 15 million leaf that way and it'd be a long long time grinding through fights to get that kind of cash.

somehow the word "grinding" fits this game lol. i have a question too, how many gun recipies are there? im actually annoyed because i would rather make my wepons then buy them but unfortunatly the the things i need seem to be far and between which makes the fights alot harder later in the game (and yes i am including the songs, however i dont use the install and i dont know if that will help)

[Mad_Cartoonist]

I'm pretty sure there are only 4 recipe cards for Spears, Guns, and Chainsaws.

That said, I tried the trick and it's amazing. XD

[Garren]

i think this game is amazing in general. cant believe i missed this when it was released. i love jrpg games.
