The Games at Caltha
When you start the game and pick Valens you find yourself in Imperia
fighting in some leagues or what have you. then you find that your
tactics aren't working so well when you play. That's when you head
over in to Caltha. You know the big Imperial stadium. Once there you
can watch fights among other gladiators and watch to understand some
new strategy tactics that will help in the future. Good Luck! Also for
winning efficiently in the games outside of Caltha, I suggest any one
who plays the game immediately hire a Murmillo (the fish people) for
they have really strong abilities.
Fast Gold
In the beginning of the game it costs like 1000 to 3000 to recruit a new
character. If you recruit someone go to the school list remove their
armor and expel them you can usually sell their armor for anywhere from
9000 to 19000 making... well a lot of gold if the process is repeated
Easy earned equipment
Ok first thing to do for this trick is to head to the beach when you are
in Imperia. When on the beach toward the south just stand on the beach
and press the "x" button. It may take some time to find some items but
keep searching. these items you find on the beach can be sold for very
high prices and may be equipped to your gladiator.

Finding equipment and weapons
Walk the beach of Imperia in the early morning to find high level equipment
and weapons. Stand on the beach and press X. If done correctly, you should see a
window with a treasure chest on it, and a message telling you that it is
searching. There is no limit to how much you can find; you can acquire a lot of
items if you have the time.
Getting good items
When you kill somebody out of the dueling ring, a coffin will appear where
they died. You can attack it to get all of that person's items. Note: This will
not work in a dueling ring.

In The Southern Expanse, go to the coastline and press X. You will see a window
appear that will look for treasure. This is a great way to get items.
Easy money
To get more Dinars, join the tournament, Break The Bank in The Wandering
Soul at The Wastes at Steppes. There are a lot of treasure chests that contain
about 1,000 to 2,000 Dinars. Moreover, the entrance fee is free. Join this
tournament to get more Dinars.
Sigi the Galdr optional quest
In the first region of Nordagh, speak to Xandl the weapon shop owner in
Mordare to hear about the missing witch, Sigi the Galdr. To find her, walk
around the area north of Roanor to get a random battle that has Sigi surrounded
by six Mongrel Shamen. Defeat the Shamen and return to Mordare. Speak to Xandl
once again. Sigi will give you the Signet Of The Valkyrie and Xandl will give
you 463 Dinars and two weapons, a Flamberge and a Tschehouta.
Death of a recruit
Recruiting warriors for your school is crucial to winning battles. Be
careful though; if a recruit dies in a random battle outside of a town, he or
she will be permanently dead. If they die inside a tournament inside a town,
they will be revived after the battle is over.
Random battles
Like all RPGs, gaining experience and Dinars (gold) is best achieved by
fighting random battles. Tournaments may give better results, but most cost
money to enter and in the beginning, you will be spending your cash on
weapon/armor upgrades and recruiting warriors. You may have to run around for
awhile outside of the towns, but there are enemies wandering around out there.
Accessory cart
Accessories are an important part of your warrior's outfit. Find the man who
sells accessories who is standing by cart in the first area of Nordagh, in
between Orin and Roanor.
Ship Captain
After arriving back in Imperia for the games in Caltha, there will be a Ship
Captain located on the beaches. You can pay him a fee and he will take you back
to the previous regions you have visited. This is the only way to return to
these regions and complete any games that you did not earlier in the game. He
appears at random times, so enter and exit Trikata until you see him. The fees
are 20,000D for Nordagh, 20,000D for Steppes, and 15,000D for Expanse
Points Battle Tip
Here's an easy way to beat those Points Battles. After you get the Undead
Summoner at your school (in Nordagh), take him into every Points Battles match.
While in the match, use his Death for Life ability and summon a skeleton. Once
the skeleton is out, use the Undead Summoner's Life Steal ability on the
skeleton that he has just summoned. Repeat this as much as possible and use the
rest of your party for normal attacking. This not only keeps one person out of
harm's way, but it also lets you build a good amount of points for your school
without having to travel too far.
Easy Way To Win Battles
If you are in a battle and you are in an enclosed area, there is an easy way
to win. If there is an opening with only one way to get to a location, put three
guys in a trifecta that is not blocking one space for your enemies to stand.
Put two heavy gladiators horizontally and one light vertically. Make sure the
light gladiator has the move "Sand Toss". When an enemy comes to attack, use
sand toss and then attack with the other gladiators

Play as Ludo
If you play as Valens in his quest, your friend Ludo is playable on your
school.
Play as Valens
When you complete the game as Ursula and begin a new game, Urlan is replaced
by Valens.
To make the Valens quest a lot easier, level up Ludo and save all of his job
points until you have 40 then get Upward Slash. This move does the most damage
of any direct attack, causes extreme bleeding that is capable of doing up to 50
damage a turn (including half turns where someone just passes), and it can also
attack at a diagonal-like spear attack. Unfortunately Ludo leaves your party
somewhere in the Windward Steppes and you have to fight him later.
