Intro Each Time you enter a dungeon you will earn or lose bonus points based on the condition you get. Your bonus can be observed on the bottom of the radar screen in multiplayer and single player if you have a GBA plugged into the second controller slot. In multiplayer the person in your party with the most bonus points gets first pick at the artifacts, then the person with the second most points gets second pick and so on. Usually there aren't many disputes if you have a few different classes, but if you get a party with two mages and there's only one Magic +5 some disputes may arise. The set of four artifacts you get from defeating the boss is also determined by the number of bonus points you get. I may add the Artifact sets per point totals in a future update. II. Bonus Conditions Pick Up Items - If you pick up items other than gil you will get bonus points. This includes scrolls, healing items, magic, etc. You don't gain points by picking up and dropping the chalice or picking up items dropped by your allies. Pick Up Money - If you pick up any amount of gil you will gain bonus points. The amount of gil doesn't matter just how many times you pick gil up. You cannot gain points by picking up gil you or your allies have dropped. Defeat Enemies With Spell Fusion - Defeat an enemy with a fused spell such as Fira, Blizzaga, Holy, Gravity, etc. You have to deliver the final blow to get the points. You won't recieve any points for just damaging monsters with fused spells. You can bring down it's health with regular magic or melee attacks if you want. Defeat Enemies With Focus Attacks - Defeat an enemy with a focus attack. You have to deliver the final blow to get the points. You won't recieve any points for just damaging the monsters with focus attacks. You can bring down it's health with any attack just as long as the final blow is with a focus attack. Defeat Enemies With Spells - Defeat an enemy with a spell. You have to deliver the final blow in order to get the points. You won't recieve and points for just damaging monters with spells. You can bring down the monster's health with any attack just as long as the final blow is with a spell. Fused spells don't count. Open Tresure Chests - If you open a treasure chest you'll get points. Even if it contains a mimic. Inflict Damage - Quite possibly the best bonus. You earn points when you deal any amount of damage. You can rack up tons of points by using weak attacks. Take Physical Damage - Take damage from an enemy using a physical attack. As with most of these bonuses the damage does not matter. Take Magical Damage - Take damage from an enemy using a magical attack. As with most of these bonuses the damage does not matter. Only spells that hurt will count for points. Slow, haste, etc. will not count towards your total. Avoid Damage - You'll start at a set number of points and when you take any kind of damage you will lose points. Don't Cast Spells - You'll start at a set number of points and if you cast any kind of magic you lose points. It doesn't matter if you kill the enemy with it or not. Don't Use Focus Attacks - You'll start at a set number of points and if you use a focus attack you will lose points. It doesn't matter if you kill the enemy with it or not. Don't Use Physical Attacks - You'll start with a set number of points and if you use a physical attack you will lose points. It doesn't matter whether you kill the enemy with it or not. Don't Heal Yourself - You'll start off with a set number of points and once you take damage and use cure on yourself or use an item you will lose points. Using a phoenix down, whether it be automatic or not, or casting life will result in a loss of points. Don't Pick Anything Up - You'll start with a set number of points and lose points when you pick up items and/or gil. You can pick up gil that your ally drops. You will lose points if you pick up items your allies drop. III. Calculating Bonus Points For the first nine conditions you start with zero and gain points by perfoming the actions and for the other ones you start with 100 and lose points every time you complete the said action. Dungeons have different point penalties. Your final total is the the points recieved for the condition + the number of enemies you defeated + the number of items you picked up. Here are the point differences for each dungeon. ------------------- River Bevelle Path ------------------- Pick Up Items +5 Pick Up Money +7 Defeat Enemies With Spell Fusion +5 Defeat Enemies With
