Marze

OPTIONAL: Pickpocket old man next to inn for GOODIE BOX and obtain powerful weapons.

This is a rare chance to upgrade to some very powerful gear early in the game and should be taken. There is an old man next to the inn who gives a GOODIE BOX upon successful pickpocket. This box gives three random items to you out of a pool of near 300. A few of the items are extremely powerful for this point of the game such as the Sword of Marvels or the Luminous Slicers. These items have over 1000 Attack Power and will not be upgraded for a while. If you want an easier trek for the first half of the game it is recommended that you steal the Goodie Box, save outside of Marze, and reload if the box yields nothing of value.

Start off by entering the building on the top left to start an event. The group discovers that all the children in town were kidnapped and the ransom is 500,000 Fol and the Secret Book. After some more conversation, Rena decides that she is going with Dias. With the party now split, it's time to gather some treasure. Re-enter the building you were just in and open the chests in the back room for SOUR SYRUP, PURPLE AMULET, and SILENCE CARD. Head to the east side of town and into the top right house, Celine's house. Open the chest upstairs for a SILK ROBE. Head to the Item Shop and stock up on Blueberries as well as upgrade your equipment. Purchase the Flame Sword here if you did not get the Sword of Marvels or anything better from the Goodie Box earlier.

Now that you are prepared go back to the Inn and speak with Dias. Teel him you wish to rest up until tomorrow morning. As you head to the Forest in the morning Dias gives Rena the MUD SHOES, equip them as soon as you can.
