For example, to duplicate Excaliber, go to Lionel castle's shop. You'll get a second Excalibur for only 10 gold!
Note: This tip only works in the Japanese version.
The Materia Blade is located in the Bervania Volcano. Set your party's on Move-Find Item Then go to the highest tall rock and go to the top of it.
If you're having difficulty defeating undead monsters, or simply want an easier way to eliminate them, try using healing spells and items on them. Instead of healing them or helping them out, these items will actually damage them. Potions, Phoenix Downs, and healing spells like Cura will damage these foes, so give it a try!
1.destroy all but one enemy and keep him n stop or sleep.
2.keep choosing "Wait" for all of your team
3.pretty soon, the defeated enemies will turn into crystals and will light up the room.
Put the Chantage perfume on any female character, and make sure the Ninja has the reaction skill of Sunken State (or equip him/her with the Vanish Mantle)
Go into battle, and hit the Ninja until he uses Sunken State (unless he has a Vanish Mantle) then make your Ninja run away after it is transparent (not acting!)
You will notice that your female character, after dying will be revived as soon as her AT reaches 100. This will happen every time she dies! It is better to have someone like Agrias use this technique!
NOTE: They gain 1 brave point every turn, so keep it under 10 or they'll turn back.
Here's my take on how to beat Balk and his crew of beasts.
First, use the sword duping trick to make a number of "Excalibur" and "Save the Queen".
Change Ramza's job to Knight if you don't have him there already, and equip both the swords stated above (must have the Two Swords ability from the Ninja job class [900 JP]). This will automatically put him in [Haste] and [Protect].
Have whatever ability you want for your secondary action ability. Use Blade Grasp for your Reaction ability, Two Swords for Support ability, and Move-HP UP for Movement.
NOTE: This combination of abilities and items works well with ANY character, but you may not have spent enough time with everyone, having Ramza the only one capable.
For the rest of my team, I included Mustadio as an Engineer (with Mythril Gun), Orlandu as Holy Swordsman (with Excalibur and Save the Queen if possible), Agrias as Holy Knight, and a Ninja.
Equip the best armor you have (Reflect Armor works OK here). The Defense Armlet is the best accessory to have (so Balk can't use his Snipe skills on you), but Rubber Shoes (accessory) are useful when Balk tries to shoot you with his Lightning-aligned Blast Gun. Use whichever is handy, but equip the Defense Armlet(s) on your best character(s).
Use Mustadio's "Snipe" ability on the monsters to paralyze them. Pick each one off in turn with Ramza and the Ninja going up close with Two Swords, while Agrias and Orlandu get them with Lightning Stab (or the best skill you have).
Note: You can just attack the Behemoth until its health is "Critical". It'll leave you alone. The three other monsters can hit you with their firey breath (and from fairly far away), so make sure you kill them off completely.
You can't paralyze Balk, so you have to concentrate on surrounding him. He runs away easily and can hit you with his Blast Gun, so go after him quickly (once you've eliminated the monsters). Try to break his Blast Gun first with Orlandu's Hellcry Punch. After that, he's easy to defeat with ANY ally. Good luck!
For Ramza, make him master the monk class, then turn him into a lancer and master that class, too.
For Orlandu, you can try making him a monk. just make him have the 'equip sword' ability. He can kickass with his monk abilities, even better than Ramza. Make Orlandu learn all of these skills and then turn him back into a holy swordsman. use the monk skills as a secondary skill.
For Agrias, fo the same thing you did for Orlandu, except that her monk skills aren't as strong as everybody else.
For Beowulf, make him learn all of his temple knight skills and then turn him into a samurai. Learn all of the skills, and then turn him back to the temple knight. The skills should be useful, especially the 'kiyomori' sword skill.
For Mustadio, do the same thing you did with Ramza. At the start of the game, though, you might want him to learn all of the snipe skills and then become a master chemist. this is a good combo for early stages.
Note: When using Orlandu, Agrias, and Beowulf, make sure you duplicate the Excalibur sword and give one to each of them. It will give them the ability to go first plus hurt more with their attacks.
Make sure Ramza is a Squire with two sword ability or a Ninja with HP Restore and the support skill Guts equipped.
When you start the battle it's just you (Ramza) and Weigraff. Don't attack him, instead keep away from him and use Yell and Accumilate repeatedly when it's your turn.
Eventualy this will raise your speed and level high enough that you don't have to worry about his Lightning Stab or Earth Slash attack.
When you are getting 3 to 4 consecutive turns in a row (Check the AT list) wait until the beginning of the next cycle then attack. Your two-sword ability should kill Weigraff in one turn and Velius will be dispatched before anyone else even gets a turn.
This should make what was the hardest battle in the game quite simple. Good luck!
NOTE: When you get T.G Cid at the end of the 3rd. chapter, duplicate his excalibur and put one in each of Ramza's hands. If he is at a good level and has a high attack power, he can attack for 350+ points of damage each hit!
You can get your Brave up to 97. This works great if you have the Blade Grasp skill because the enemies will only have a three percent chance of hitting you!
What you do is you turn your enemies into frogs. It is time consuming, but it is worth it. (You can increase chances by using oracle "pray faith." Once that is done. and I know this sounds weird, turn your strong character into a frog. Then with oracle or mediator, put him into berserk. This will allow him to fight on auto-battle without running away. Keep your character well healed.
Move the rest of your characters far away from the fight. Frogs VS Frogs. Put them on auto battle in "Run like a rabbit" mode so they don't interfere. They shouldn't interfere.
Leave it on over night. By morning that character will rise 5-10 levels, and have over 2000-5000 jp points.
Warning: When you kill undead this way a timer will appear. If you don't finish the game before the timer reaches 0, sometimes the undead will rise again. You can also use the engineer's Seal Evil ability to destroy undead without them ever reviving.

Walk across any green dot until you are attacked, then kill all but one enemy. Next, find five squares that form an + and are on the same height level. Have the monk stand in the center with all other characters in the adjacent squares. Use accumalte over and over and when your attacked just use chakra to gain back your health. Repeat as desired.
First, move within four spaces of Velius and use wave fist. Then you should get another turn. Use wave fist again and then jump across the water on the right.
I think Velius gets his turn next and he'll use Cyclops. While he's charging, move your guys away from the target. If he targeted a certain person, attack him directly with that person. Hopefully, you'll have a summoner left. Cast Lich (It'll hit him for around 500, and he has 1000hp)
By now he should be almost dead. Just use anything you can to finish him off
Start out by getting as close to him as you can. Then use wave fist. He will then use Lightning Stab and run away. DON'T FOLLOW HIM. Run back to where you started and use chakra. He will then move to where he started. Now repeat all this until he's dead.
Below are a list of all of the base jobs in the game, and how to unlock any given character's ability to use said job.
* - Only males can be Bards.
** - Only females can be Dancers.
If you have a Black Mage, have him or her learn the spell Toad. Then, transform all of the enemies on the field into toads. Kill any enemies that aren't able to be turned. Then, you can attack and heal your own party to build experience and JP for as long as you want with no threat from the enemies. When you're done, you can then kill the toads for an easy victory.
Here's another great way to level-up easily. Have a party of five, with one of your characters playing as a Monk. Have that character learn the skill Chakra. Then, take them to a map where a "plus sign-shaped" area can be found. Have your five players stand in this area, with the Monk in the middle. Then, simply have them attack each other, using the Monk's Chakra ability to heal everyone each round. This will rack up some easy JP and experience points if you have some patience.
Here's an interesting glitch. When you kill an enemy (or when an ally falls), they turn into a Crystal after three full turns. You can then pick up the crystal, which will usually result in a restoration of HP and MP for the character who grabbed it. Sometimes, however, skills and abilities can be learned from the Crystal. If this happens and there are multiple options, always choose the last skill listed. Your character will then learn all of the skills and abilities listed, not just the one you selected.
