Name-change Ticket Trick
In most cases, the Name-Change Ticket only changes the name of a weapon. If you enter the name of another weapon in the game however, the ticket will actually tranform the old item. This method allows players to obtain the most powerful weapons earlier than is possible in the game and without having to build the weapon from scratch. To perform this trick, follow these steps:

1. Recruit Mayor Need and purchase tickets (costs 40 medals each).
2. Select an unequipped weapon in the menu and choose the option Change name.
3. Replace the old name with the name of the weapon you want to obtain. Make sure to follow correct case, spelling, spacing, etc. when applicable or it will not work. Press OK after you are done and the item will transform. Here are some of the common name choices for this trick:
   Max weapons: LEGEND, Grade Zero, Supernova, Sigma Bazooka, Last Resort.
   Monica weapons: Five-Star Armlet, Island King, Dark Cloud, Muramasa, Griffon Fork, Chronicle 2.

Duplicate Lures
Once you have a lure rod and 2 two of the same lure (available in chapter 4 after you've recruited Olive), you can duplicate it as many times as you want. Just equip the lure rod and a lure. Then press R2 so you will have Monica displayed instead of Max. Now select the same lure and equip it as many times as you want, it will seem nothing will have happened, but you will now have multiple lures equiped and still have the one in the menu. Once you remove the lures you can have up to 999 lures (don't go over 999 or it will reset the number to whatever you had before you did it) then you can sell them all for a lot of money.

Easy Level Up
Take one of your strong characters (i.e., most health, strongest weapon) but not the Ridepod, and go to a dungeon that you can get minimal damage done to you. Kill the enemy with your strong person, and immediately afterwards, press L3 to switch characters or R3 to switch to the Ridepod. This is especially useful when trying to build up the Ridepod since he loses fuel easily. This makes it so he does not move or get hurt.

Fishing Tournament
When looking for a big fish to win the fishing contest, equip the Lure Rod and put on the Fork Lure. Then, go to the hot springs in Reim Hamma (where you build the Georamma, there is a small place to the side). Wait until 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., then cast your lure into the hot springs. It might take a while, but you can catch a big fish that always weighs over 5,100. You will also get a hefty 300 FP for it.
