No Worry Battling If your really fed up with laws, than try to lure your battles in "Jagd" places like Jagd Dorsa and Jagd Ahli. For example, say you had a mission that required you to defeat another clan (missions with the blue devil-like head logo), you could try to make them go to Jagd places where there is no laws. But make sure they go there plus you meeting them in the limited days for the mission(unless its an "unlimited days" mission). Now you can battle without worrying about getting yellow or even red cards!
2 Ways to Make Easy Gil There are 2 good ways to make money easily.
1} Get a theif, steal everything from your opponents, weapons armour etc. and sell it. (If it is pwoerful/rare don't sell it)
2}Dispatch missions! you pay around 1000 gil for a mission thata only takes days to complete, then you get thousands in return! KAACHING!
Quick Reset To reset while in the game, press A+B+START+SELECT.
Recruit Quin To get Quin to join your clan, complete the "Missing Professor" mission. After the battle, Quin may ask to join your clan. Be sure you have room in your clan for Quin or you will miss the opportunity.
Using your time for easy level up When in battle, if you plan to "Wait", don't! Use your time! If your character has an ability that raises defence, heals, or anything like that, just do it. It will allow your character to level up without wasting its turn. If your character however, doesn't have an ability that doesn't give damage to other people or something else, then you probably would use a potion or some item. But thy not to use items for exp.!

(These are Reserve missions)
Mission Help If you are having trouble beating missions during the game, take some time to only do clan wars. You can get lots of judge points, along with tons of experience and money.
Untouchable Character To have an untocuhable character, you need a paladin that knows the fight skill "Strikebaack," and "double Sword". When your paladin knows these moves, equip him with 2 Excalibur Twos, or an Excalibur Two and the Nagrarok. Thus you have a character thats nearly unbeatable.
Easy Nu Mou Level Up What you first need to do is get a Nu Mou into an illusionist class. This Class is posted above. After he becomes an illusionist master the absorb MP ability ( lordly robe Negotiate Lv.45 I think) Then turn him into a time mage and master quicken and reflect. Cast reflect on an ally and then cast quicken. The quicken will bounce and hit you then youll get 10 exp. You can do this over and over till your desired level. Lv. 50 is attainable in about one to two hours.

Gia flair and explode On the game when you obtain babus and Quin you can see that the two moves Gia Flair and explode look similar and the do around the same damage(mine are both level 45)and the combine strength is imense so use them as a team.
Job Classes In any tactical rpg the most important thing is to have a hard hitting party. To help get you started I have a few classes listed for each race.
Humans
Soldier- initial job class
Paladin- soldier attack ability x2
Fighter- soldier attack ability x2
Thief- initial job class
Ninja- Thief Attack ability x2
White Mage- initial job class
Black mage- initial job class
Archers- Initial job class
Hunter- Archer attack ability x2
Advantageous Battling When your battling, sometimes you think you can use law cards as defense. Well you can. You can use law cards called "Dmg2: Human". There is also Dmg2:Bangaa, Dmg2: Nu Mou, Dmg2: Viera, and Dmg2: Moogle. When your battling, and you have a human on your side, and the opposite clan does not, you can use the Dmg2: Human law card. So when your opponent gives damage to your human, they will get a yellow card. If they do not have a medal beside their name, and they kill the human, they will get a red card. You can use this trick with a bangaa, viera, nu mou, or moogle also.
Success or Failure? When you go to the pub and you choose a dpatch mission you will go to the character choosing list, look to the right and there will be the character that you have the selecter on. The character will either be, Jumping up and down, walking normally, or down on his/her knees. If he/she is jumping up and down it means the mission will be completed with out problems, in other words, he/she will succeed. If the character is walking normally, then there is a 50/50 chance that you will succeed. If the character is down on his/her knees... don't even try the mission, you're hopeless!
Become Harder to Kill If you want to become harder to kill, master Damage>MP, change to a job that doesn't need MP, and master Double Sword (humans only).
Hint: Extra Experience If you ever run into a gel-type creature called a flan and need a little exp, here is a tip. First kill off every other enemy on the field, and then surround the flan with your people. Use regular attacks on it, which will only do 1 damage, and if the enemy is of sufficient level, you'll gain a few levels while slowly killing it.
Viera Job Classes (complete) Archer- initial class
White Mage- initial class
Fencer- initial class

Characters With Medals Certain enemies have small blue medals by their name. This makes them invulnerable to Law Effects, though they may get yellow cards, they will never get red cards.
Allmighty Law Card On the blade biter mission give Ritz the mission item Blue Rose and she will give you the allmighty law card.
Ultima Ultima is the most powerful magic in the game. Once a character learns it, switch that character to a class with a weapon that has a long range like archer or gunner because Ultima's range is based off of what your weapon range is.
Hidden Characters Shara: Viera
Finish "A Maiden's Cry" mission (which becomes available soon after the completion of the game). NOW GO STRAIGHT TO ANY TOWN! A cutscene will begin to play. After the cutscene, Shara should offer to join, if your party isn't full.
Ritz: Human/Viera job classes
Finish the mission called "Mortal Snow" (which becomes available soon after completion of the game). After it's done, Ritz should offer to join your clan.
Ezel: Nu Mou
Right before the end of the game (after Cid asks you to help with Ezel's new card), go to the Caodan Card Shop, and choose the option "Gossip". Ezel will say something about you being a mediator for negotiations between the palace
and the resistance. Then he will post up a mission in the pub, called "Reconciliation" (NOTE! If you haven't finished the first mission he gives you, you'll have to do that one first before you get "Reconcilation"). Complete it, and you should get Ezel.
Babus: Nu Mou
Finish the mission called "Left Behind" (which becomes available soon after completion of the game) then enter any town. A small cutscene will play, with Babus asking you to come along with him to Ambervale. After the cutscene, DO NOT LEAVE THE TOWN. Go straight to the pub, and select mission "With Babus". Once you've finished that mission, there'll be a scene where Marche asks Babus to be his friend. Halfway through the scene, Babus will offer to join. Voila! (NOTE! Immediately after the cutscene where Babus asks you to come along, you MUST go to the pub and select the mission "With Babus". If you wander around the map, the mission WILL disappear, never to return.)

STAY AWAY When you are in battle, take extra precautioon and stay away from high ledges, because if your opponent knocks you back, you will fall and take additional damage. Keep this in mind if you have a Fighter or a Gladiator that knows the A-ability "Knock back", you can use it against your opponents when they are on a ledge.
Recruiting Units When you have 5 or less members in your clan, Montblanc will put up Recruitment Missions. These are 5 day dispatch missions that will get you another unit. Each month gets you a different kind of unit.
