1.4 - GAME INFORMATION
======================
Grandia Xtreme is a dungeon-crawling RPG game from Enix. It is the third game
in the Grandia series, but it in unlike its predecessors, in the fact that it
revolves around dungeons. The main character of the game is a Ranger named
Evann. Rangers are people who can exert control over the Geo Stream to open
portals called Geo Gates. Geo Gates can transport people to any place near the
Geo Stream. The story picks up when Evann is captured by the Nortis Army and
forced to help them fight against an anomaly called the Elemental Disorder. The
Disorder has been destroying cities for a while, and the Army has figured out
that they need a Ranger to stop the Disorder. It turns out that Evann's
childhood nemesis, Kroitz is a Colonel in the army and ordered Evann captured.
As with all lukewarm stories, it turns out that Kroitz is just after a great
power called Quanlee. He is the antagonist through the second half of the game.
While Grandia Xtreme isn't for everyone, the gameplay is fun, as it includes
the famous Grandia fighting system. This is a good thing, due to the fact that
about 85% of the game is fighting. If that doesn't sound like your type of
game, I would say you should go play Grandia I or II, as they are traditional
RPGs.
=======================
1.5 - GUIDE INFORMATION
=======================
This guide is meant to help people with the Mana Egg system in the game. Magic
is used by equipping these Eggs. To get stronger magic, you junction eggs with
the magician in Locca. Depending on what you junction, you can get stronger or
weaker results. I will include the full Mana Egg Junction chart, as well as Egg
information and spell information. Note: All the information was pulled from
the game itself, no outside sources.
===============
2.0 - MANA EGGS
===============
Mana Eggs can be found throughout the dungeons in the game. After you finish
the Gale Ruins, you can go back through the dungeons and fight the bosses again
to earn 2 or 3 Mana Eggs. All of the Eggs that you find through the first 4
dungeons are Level 1 Eggs, until you fight the bosses again. Then, in the
Spiritual Atriums of the Ruins, you find Level 2 Eggs and these can also
sometimes be found in the later dungeons as treasure. Mana Eggs are aligned as
elements, and must be kept to their element to become powerful. Here is a list
of the Level 1 Eggs and what Level 6 Egg they lead to:
Flare Egg --> Cluster Egg
Wind Egg --> Photon Egg
Aqua Egg --> Blizzard Egg
Stone Egg --> Soul Egg
These four Level 6 Eggs then lead to their respective Level 9 Eggs (excluding
Soul).
Cluster Egg --> Ether Egg
Photon Egg --> Chaos Egg
Blizzard Egg --> Holy Egg
A Soul Egg is used to gain the Level 8 Crown Egg, which junctions with the
Level 8 Eggs of the other elements to get a Level 9 Egg.
It's kind of comfusing at first, but it gets easier once you start to play with
the Egg Junctions. I spent a lot of time with them and now it's like second
nature to me.
A full list of mana eggs is here:

2.4 - SPECIAL FORCES
====================
Special Forces are points that show up randomly when you junction Mana Eggs.
They empower spells in different ways. There are 6 different types of Special
Forces:
MP - Decreases the MP consumption of the spell
IP - Makes the spell do IP damage to the enemy
P - Increases the strength of the spell
H - Spells with multiple hits will hit more
W - Spells with around/fan/line will have a wider range of effect
S - Length of time to charge the spell decreases
The most Special Force points you can have on a spell is 5, as H and W are
used in different situations. Be aware though, that if you junction an Egg with
Special Forces on it, it will no retain these, necessarily.
