SPARKLE STRING can be found in the spiders at Trieste Forest - Sun-Dappled Spot, which appears after 6pm.

STRONG VINE can be found in Blessia Island - Center where alot of rocks are and use the Inquisitive Waltz.

Just a rant to say I totally hate having to find some much needed items using IW. Not that using IW is bad, it just almost impossible to get IW without founding out how in an FAQ or board and where to use it is even more of a mystery that's never given to you in the game.

Yeah... using IW is sometimes fun, however, when I was looking for something rare in the Fall dungeon, my monster found a lot of... dried grass :roll:

It's amazing how much dead weeds I found in the Winter dungeon also. Also I had my communication skill at 99 and it would still run through my Rune Points fairly quickly.

It's a cool spell, they just should have made finding it and explaining how to use it easier to figure out 'in game'.

Is the communication skill really important? :/ I'm at level 36 and it found some rare stuff for me too, like blue magical flower, crystal red flower, sweet potatoes, spinach, potatoes etc. :|

I read somewhere that IW is based on your Communication skill as far as how much RP it uses. It doesn't really matter with me since my characters Magic skill was also 99 at the time.

Hi quick question, how do you get the "Inquisitive Waltz"?

Does your communication level allow you to tame monsters easier? if not what does communication level allow you to do?

thanx :lol:

Let me try to remember.

I believe you have to max out your barn (build all the levels possible), and then you find it on a library shelf.

Yes, communication helps you tame monsters. It also greatly increases the time it takes to get one to 10 FP using the brush. For example with a 99 in communication it would take me ony 3 days to get a monster to 10 FP.

Nope.

You need to find the Striking March first from Egan's Inn. Its on the 1st floor, most right-hand side room, in the drawer.

Than you can get the IW from the library, its in one of the shelves.

I thought you had to max out your barn before you could find it in the library, no? I know there was something that required you to do that.

And you wouldn't, if you just played the game and didn't come here. That's what I hate about IW. I have to wonder if the Japanese version gave more clues.
