Forging- 678s
You can make the most effective bow (and the most expensive) by extremely modifying the
parameters of a Silver Bow, the best axe by changing the Silver Axe, best sword by
morphing a Levin Sword (two-range).  But, you can still make fantastic weapons with Iron,
and even the weakest tomes.
Now, what you need to remember is that the lower the weight, the lighter and better your
chance of attacking twice is.  So if you make the Javelin with parameters like Might: 13,
Hit: 150 and Critical: 10, no matter what, youre gonna have an awesome two-range lance,
but if you have a high weight and give it to a weak character because you thought HIGHER
would make it faster, then get ready to lose that weapon upon death.  Now, awesome
parameters would be:
Iron Bow         expenses: around 20000
Might: 15
Hit: 93
Crit: 9
Weight: 3
Name: Wolfen Bow (for Wolf)

Not these,
SILVER Bow
Might: 15
Hit: 95
Crit: 9
Weight: 3

That would be almost the same as the Wolfen Bow!  That would still be awesome, but it
would be a waste of money!

Recruitments
IN ORDER BY LEVEL

PROLOGUE IV
The character you should decoy is Jagen.  Theres no use for him except for in Hard mode.

Gordin, a.k.a. Gaggles, Archer: Talk to with Marth.  Just barge right in through the gate.

Also, if you finish this prologue with 4 or less units in your party, youll get Norne, an
Archer.

CHAPTER 1
Wrys, Curate: Visit the western village with Marth.  He makes an awesome Myrmidon, too!

CHAPTER 2
Darros, Pirate: Talk to with Marth.

Castor, Hunter: Talk to with Caeda.

CHAPTER 3
If you only have 10 total characters after you finish this you will get Trim, a Fighter,
Unil, a Mage, Dua, a Mercenary, and Quatra, a Knight for having a weak army 

Navarre, Myrmidon: Owner of my Deadwing, talk to him with Caeda.

CHAPTER 4

Matthis, Cavalier: Talk to with Lena.  Hes weird; hell attack/kill Lena and ask where she
is hes useless, but Lenas not.

Merric, Mage: Visit the northern 
Village with Marth.

CHAPTER 5

Wendell, Sage: This guy is useless when you promote Lena.  But, its fun to have all the
characters, so talk to him with Merric or Marth.

CHAPTER 6

Rickard, Thief: This guy is sick.  Talk to him with Julian or Marth.

CHAPTER 7

Bantu, Manakette: You shouldnt bother getting him.  He has no weapons.  I use him as a
traveling Convoy, though.  Visit the old dragon guy with Marth.  You need to hurry to the
village, though.  The thief will destroy it when he gets to it.  Oh, and stay away from
Minerva.  She wont move, so just stay away until she leaves.  Her Hauteclere will kill
you!

CHAPTER 8

This took me a few tries.  Just run through it with Marth, Caeda, and your best character.
 Then, run past the reinforcements, and just kill the boss (with the Rapier and Wing
Spear).

Roger, Knight: Talk to with Caeda.  Hes weird; when Caeda talked to him, he turned red as
a strawberry and now loves Caeda.  Wow.  AND, he tells this to Marth.  And Marth ends up
marrying Caeda (if she doesnt die).  Dont let her die!

CHAPTER 9

Jorge, Sniper: Visit the village with Marth.


CHAPTER 10
Princess Minerva
FIRST get Maria.  Then, worry about Minerva.

Maria, Cleric: Talk to with Marth.  What I did was charge the castle with Marth and Wolf. 
I left Sedgar, Draug, Ogma, and Caeda in front of the other units facing the Pegasus
Knights.  I quickly killed the two Knights inside the castle, and used Sedgars Steel Bow
and my Wolfen Bow to defeat the Pegasus Knights.  Then, before the reinforcements came in,
I moved all my units inside and let the Archers attack Marth and some other strong units,
and then on the next turn, I got some experience for Julian by having him kill the Sniper.
 Then I defeated the others.  Next, the reinforcements were there.  I found out how to
handle these.  I had one unit blocking the hallway, then I killed them until a Horseman
was in front with another one-range unit behind.  Then, I placed a unit in front of the
Horseman and had no one behind him.  They couldnt attack.  A human player would know to
move the Horseman away and have the cavalier attack, but these were computer controlled. 
Then I moved Marth and Julian over to the prison and freed Maria.
Minerva, Dracoknight: When you recruit Maria, dont put anyone in front of Marth.  Minerva
will come and talk to Marth.

CHAPTER 11
Knorde Market

Linde, Mage: She may only be a level D in magic, but she can use level B Aura!  Have Marth
Visit the village in the southeast.  You can have Minerva or Caeda move over and block the
village from the thief, or just have Marth rush over and take care of the Grust guy
himself.
Jake, Ballistician: First, make sure you visited the house in the southeast with Anna. 
This is essential!  Now, talk to with Caeda.  There are four ways to do this; one, have
Caeda become a Dracoknight, therefore having a ten-move range, and killing every Grust
soldier besides Jake.  All this time, have Caeda JUST outside all the Ballisticians move
ranges.  Then, when the map is clear (except for Jake), move her within three spaces of
Jake.  The next turn, talk to him.  This way, you can take down Mannu if you hadnt
already, or any other flying bosses. Because if a Ballistician attacks a flying unit,
remember, Arrowspate, a Ballistae weapon, are arrows, and arrows are super-effective
against flyers.
The second, pointless way, is if you cant promote Caeda, start by killing every Grust
soldier besides Jake.  All this time, have Caeda JUST outside all the Ballisticians move
ranges.  Then, when the map is clear (except for Jake), have some of your strong units
with lots of health (Hardin works great) move within Jakes range.  Heal as necessary, and
when Jake uses all his ammo, move Caeda closer and talk to him.  By this time, Jake will
be useless because he has no arrows left.  But, you can get another Hoistflamme and a
Stonehoist in chapter 13.  
The third is one I should of thought of before.  Reclass Caeda to another fighting unit
and have her move in.  This way, the super effect isnt in effect.  Then, you can reclass
her back.
Or, you could just move right in as a Pegasus Knight and PRAY that he misses Caeda.


CHAPTER 12
The Ageless Palace

Really no recruitments, but the people up in the cage need help.  Keep the ones with
little health OUT of the archers and mages range.  Now, by killing one of the thieves on
the left, youll get the Warp Staff.  Give it to Lena and Warp Marth outside of that cage. 
Fight off all the enemies, and Warp Julian or Rickard inside the cage.  Have him pick the
lock and let them out.  You should train Tomas, because after this chapter, you will get
the Parthia bow, which is sacred or something.  It requires mastery of the bow.

CHAPTER 13
Wooden Cavalry

OKAY, the bosss weapon.  Read the name.  PACHYDERM.  Wow, a stone elephant.  That will
hurt.  Anyway, this is the EASIEST level past level 7.  If you get Beck.

Beck, Ballistician: Just visit the village with Marth.  Beck has Thunderbolt, which is
great against other Ballistae (Wooden Cavalry, get it).  BOO-YAH!  This level is FULL of
Ballistae!  The boss is a Ballistician!  This should take all of 5 minutes.  

Astram, Hero: Midea has to talk to him.  The problem is, Astram is weird (like Matthis). 
He will attack/kill Midea if shes in his range.  Lucky for you, shes a Paladin.  Lure him
closer, and then chat.

CHAPTER 14
Have Marth and Julian move towards the chest, kill the thieves, and have Julian unlock the
door and Marth kill the Sniper.  Your best three characters go around the side and take
out thearchers and the reinforcements that go that way.  Wolf and Sedgar are great because
they use bows and have a great move range.  The bows will kill the Pegasus Knights, and
can reach those Archers.  Then, while Julian gets the stuff from the chest, Marth takes
the Silver Card from him and moves towards the Armory.  He draws all the reinforcements to
him and when theyre done coming out, move him to the boss along with Sedgar and Wolf and a
healer.  Take down the boss.
Palla and Catria, Pegasus Knights: While Marth is heading towards the Armory and Julian is
going to unlock the door, these girls will go over to Marth and talk to him.  Just find a
spot to draw in the reinforcements, and theyll talk to you.  Plus, they rule!

CHAPTER 15

Ok, there are no recruitments in this chapter, but its important to know this: Gharnef
(yes, the evil Sorcerer), is invincible.  Not even level 29 Marth with a forge-maxed
Silver Sword.  Not even level 20 Wolf or Sedgar with the Parthia bow.  Only the Falchion,
which Gharnef has, or Starlight, which youll learn about after this chapter.  I thought
that I could use my Altea Blade to do it, but he ended up killing Sedgar 
So I restarted the chapter.  You need to keep everyone away from the evil freak, so I
chose all my flying units (so that they could fly over thee river and fly away).  I even
reclassed Hardin from a Paladin to a Dracoknight for the level.  You lure Gharnef to near
where the castle is, then run away with all your other characters, leaving Marth.  He CAN
kill Marth, but he would have to use three turns (I had Marth at level 26, 39 hitpoints,
and Gharnef did 19 with Imhullu).  I think Parthia may work to beat him, but it probably
wont
Dont worry about the thief.  You dont need the items he steals.  If you find that you do,
then hurry over and kick his butt swiftly.
Gharnef leaves on turn 6.  So, after that, head for the castle and get it over with.
You could actually do this level using only Marth and maybe a healer with Psychic (I use
Lena- reclassed as a Sage).
ILL FINISH THIS WALKTHROUGH SOON, OK!
