Part 36: The Flask and Globe
We had a really strange Assignment today.Video- “Synthesis VII Equipment”

Watch the Assignment
I think Mr. Zeppel was caught unprepared for class.




This time, you can go pick one off the floor at the Resource Center Depths.



Anyway! Hurry up and get going!



We headed down there. Flay was convinced there was more to the Assignment than we were seeing.






Professor Feinne’s Alchemy 300: Synthesis VII
Okay, this is a VERY easy assignment if you don’t let yourself fall into the same trap as Mr. Zeppel did: laziness. You need to investigate both of the possible locations and check out everything. You also need to not give in to temptation and just give Zeppel one of the flasks from the Center, just because it’s ‘hard’ to synthesize one doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be trying to figure out how to do so. Let’s just see this.
We found a rusty old flask in one of the back rooms.







We found a recipe for synthesis equipment in another room.



We also found a clean flask nearby.






Still, that recipe suggested that we could restore the rusty old flask to its original state with just a bit of polish powder, so we headed back to the workshop.

Mr. Zeppel certainly didn’t expect us to come back with anything that good, and since he gave everyone else a B I’m glad we didn’t stick with the dingy junk we found.


Ohh, if I knew these were there, I would’ve went to go find them, too…
As you saw in today’s class, lab equipment is a necessity for alchemists.
Always remember to thank the items you always use.


I’ll give you your grades, so show me your Handbooks.
We had a class from Isolde today on understanding our items.
Video- “Synthesis VIII Attack”

Watch the Assignment
It turned out to be about attack items.



And the ones to boost power and stats.

If you use the other items wisely as well, you will have more advantages.
For example, before your attack, use a Steak to raise your attack power.
Or, for an enemy with high defense, use a Globe so you can deal set damage.



Defeat the Poltergeist in the Clocktower without using any normal attacks.
If you listened in class, this shouldn’t be hard.



Professor Feinne’s Alchemy 300: Synthesis VIII
This is all about ending the battle quickly. The fewer items you have to use, the better your grade will be. So step one here is to head to Koropok and get a certain rumor:

Then you should switch your active party to Anna, Jess, and Vayne, as they all have a passive skill that improves the effectiveness of items in battle. So, now you need to figure out what items you want to use. The Handout for the class had Tera Flames, so obviously you should be very careful NOT to use those as they’ll not be very effective. Poltergeist is vulnerable to Ice so you might want to use the upgraded Bomb Ice, but that’s wrong too. You want to clue in on what Isolde said about Globes and use them. Expect to need three of them to kill Poltergeist.
The strongest item we’ve seen so far has been the Globe, so we made a few and headed down to the Clocktower.


Let’s go!
We smashed it flat quickly and easily.


And when we returned to Student Affairs we found we’d done good enough for an A.


Let me give you the stamps for your grade.
At least we’re hanging in with these Senior level courses, I was worried for a moment…
