Stat Modifier & Tricks
This trick will raise your stats up to 100 per materia depending on what stat you want to increase..
Ok, lets start..
Requirements for farming
Hp+999% materia= for huge amount of HP
Costly materia= deal 99999 damage depending on hp/damage limit
Adaman Bangle or Genji Armor= Accessories that breaks HP limit
Brutal or Genji Glove= Accessories that break damage Limit
Mog’s Amulet= Item dropped or stolen is always rare
All of these requirements is a must because we will fight a mission boss to do farming…
The boss can be found in mission 9-3-4
This is the Location in the Map

And this what you get for defeating it

2 adamantite (you will need 99), this enemy has a huge HP, I counted the number I used the costly punch and this is the result..
7 costly punch usage= meaning 99999 X 7= 699993 damage, this is the damage you must inflict to defeat it so that’s why you’ll need those requirements..
This enemy has a special attack that causes 45k damage, so if your HP is above that and have costly materia no need to worry, it will be dead before it uses his special attack.. ^__^
Now, we’ll proceed to Materia Fusion that modify stats..
Here I will give you example when we combine Magical Punch(MP+50%) + Zantezuken(Vit+1) =Costly Punch(MP+50%)
Note:
You can Fuse the Materia that you want, that is an example ok???

The idea here is we can change the stat that we want by using this items…
Hero Drink=Use in materia fusion for ATK+1
Adamantite=Use in materia fusion for VIT+1
Dark Matter=Use in materia fusion for MAG+1
Mythril=Use in materia fusion for SPR+1
Gysahl Greens=Use in materia fusion for LUK+1
Note: This items are obtainable in mission…
Ok, now I Will fuse the same materia BUT with one of the items I gathered…

See the difference??, well you must have a huge amount of SP to fuse that..
Now I have already that materia (because that is only an example)
Here it is

You will see that it doesnt change the stat, so here is the trick to change that to the one you’ll like..
Attack Stat

Magic Stat

Luck Stat

Spirit Stat

Summary:
1.Gathered Adamantite(99)
2.Combine materia that you like then combine the adamantite
3.Change it to what stat you want by using the item above
Note:This will need a lot of Patience and Time, I only do this because I want to defeat Minerva (The Strongest Boss in the Game)

Mission Tips
- Always do wall hugging to avoid encounters, very useful because you only need the items in the treasure chest and the reward in mission.
- Equip a element absorbing accessories, this is very useful to me because it always heal me,try to learn what the monster cast in the mission that you are doing. Remember that the only element that can be absorb are Fire , Thunder and Blizzard (can also absorb higher version like firaga etc). Recommended is Blaze Armlet (Absorb Fire Element) why?, because Blizzard and Thunder is very easy to dodge.. or you can always equip Wizard Bracelet (absorbs Fire, Blizzard and Thunder Element)
- Got enemy encounter?, you can always run in battlefield by using Dash materia (much easy because Zack run faster), just press triangle and go outside the field of encounter. Recommended in very hard missions.
- Always rotate the camera when starting a mission, some mission has treasure chest behind where Zack stands.
- Always pray that the DMW reels to Modulating Phase

Easy Adamantine farming:
Go to 7-6-4 (The Irritated Recruiter)Random battle a driller machine (yellow color) named Crazy Sword (this is also the boss for this mission) this machine will die in 2x 99999 hits. in addition, the same machine also gives BRUTAL if you steal/mug.
Note: that in order to get these items you must have the Mog’s Amulet, if not you will only get Guard Stone from Stealing and no Adamantite.
Beware of the G Hoplite B‘s shadow stitch skill, it stops you and hits twice damage you very much.
Be sure to equip a Jeweled Ring when farming as it will give you 4 Adamantites instead of the usual 2.
- Magic Pot: 10-2-3 use these as follows: Jump, Fira, Gravity, and Spin Attack
- SP farming: mover EX at 7-6-5, it gives 8000 SP and gives Rune Amulet and Sells for 4000Gil or
- SP farming: mission 1-3-2 and kill tigers with Mog Amulet on to farm ap+ and fuse them till you have a 999% ap+ then sp convert it.
- Use Ben’s Materia Maker to see what combines with what before you actually try them. Pretty neat if you ask me.









how do ya get 99999 damage from costly punch? I get 9999 only.
you need genji glove to get your maximum damage from 9999 to 99999.
how do i activate mission 4-4-4
If you have two libra master
with atk + 5.
you can fuse witth 99 fire rigns, ice
rings, thunder rigns you’ll
get libra master with atk +20.
is there any way to get Drainga or Aerial Drain back to a different materia, i have +50 luck and +350% HP on them and they are absolutely USELESS materia…
sadly there’s no way for that. You have to start over for your new materias (referring to the stat bonus) since Drainga and Arial Drain don’t change to more usable materias.
Hi all, i think that with zieldich and genji helm, electrocute does more damage than costly punch. Costly punch does 99999 damage. But electrocute with zieldich does 45k per hit. The max you can hit an enemy with electrocute is 3 times per spell. So that makes 135k damage as apposed to 99k.
how can my hp be 99999. it only says 9999 and stays that way
never mind. i have to use adaman bangle. but where do i get this adaman bangle? please help
It’s on page 2 of the guide.
hey i tried to combine hp++999% to curaga but the end results to the former and not the magic, and pretty much any materia i fuse to hp++. will it make any difference if i fuse it with an hp+ only?
Only HP+ works.
Please refer to page 3 of the guide for the full list of materia fusion formulas
btw i have an sp master hp+999% materia – hp++999% fused with an sp turbo materia. but i’ll spare that for later since it really expends a lot of sp. so for now i’m trying an alternative, and that’s curaga +hp999%
the only issue is that one almost always deals 99k and almost always hits with the loss of only a negligible amount of hp whereas electrocute may miss and uses mp… however with dualcast i suppose having a whole ton of lightning bolts dealing 45k each would be extremely useful…if only dualcast could have greater MP%
I’ve read over all these comments on cloud being stuck at 90%, and I’ve the same problem… I’ve seen all the scenes and just jumped into the pit after chapter 11, I’ve been doing mission 5-1-1 with full vit, fire absorption, and luck of 145… any ideas?
try equipping the ff materia:
4 meteor shots
2 lucky stars
increase your vitality using some items
then go to mission 1-1-1.. let those shinra people harass you but make sure to block or dodge the solar plexus.. just wait for the reel to hit either cissnei (for increasing the probability of a DMW skill) and cloud (to get that final scene)
i’ve got 80% cloud before and with this i managed to find the last 2 scenes
I have a better way actually to max stats. Instead of collecting Adamantite, with Mog’s Amulet equiped, you can steal Lunar Harp while farming for SP. It’s more convenient that way instead of going back and forth on missions
there is an item that I found in a mission but i don’t know what is it for or what kind of advantage does that item have.
the item is called “feather cap”
im lost i tried followin ur 1st tips but it never actually told me how 2 get hp up+999
i only got to hp up+540 help me out
Where exactly are you having troubles? If you look at the comments a lot of people have already found it useful.
im havin trouble tryin 2 make hp up+ 999 i got as far as having 2 hp up+ 130 and dats it
combine that hp up+ 130 to another hp up+ as shown here:

oh ok so ur sayin i add da hp up +130 to another hp up+130 and then wat i get i hafta creat all over again startin wit da hp up+20 rite? so i got it but sadly i accidently saved over my data even though i finished da game last nite:(
yep. or you can just focus on a single hp up+ materia and continue adding new hp up+ ones to it. Gradually you’ll end up with hp up+ 999%
ok i think i understand but its gone take me a while since i gotta start all da way bck 2 the bathhouse oh yea wats da best way 2 get through all the missions cuz i got pretty far but i still get beaten and i was lvl 45
get your HP to 99999 and just use costly punch (usually kills enemies with one hit)
ok ima try dat i think im off 2 a good start neways since i been collectin hp up+ 20 is that good?
where do u get the genji stuff
ok i finally got da hp up+999 but it wont let me mix it with curaga to make curaga+999:( y? is it cuz curaga is lvl master
and hp up+999 is lvl 3? help me out i rly wanna do all da missions and fight minerva
Read page 3
It has a table that’ll help you solve your problem.
one more question how in da hell did u get ur health all the way up 2 all those 9′s becuz i have 999 hp up+ but my health is only at 40,000 or less i wanna kno ur secret? or does ur lvl have enthing 2 do with it becuz my lvl rite now is 58
you need 2 materias with HP +999% and yeah it’s your level as well.
Goblin punch can also be aquired from stealing from 1 of the bosses in mission 9-2-1
how to you fuse items with the materia?
on mine it only shows two slots for materia
You need to progress further in the game.
Hear Yeah!!! I got a better idea than collecting HP+! Try mission 9-2-4 and steal Hero Drink from the scissor monster (spider-like)!
They usually come up by 2′s so ull have 99′s of those in no time. sweet!
There is so much to do with this whole materia fusion idea they incorporated into the game it just makes me giddy :p
Unfortunately, it would take forever to make every materia and get every item available, so does anyone have an idea of what the “ultimate” combination of equipment would be. Im sure it varies from person to person but i would like to work towards only the materia and such that are the best
i tried stealing from the two onsters it even shows in the pictures but all i ever ended up getting was power attack and i have mog’s equiped
do *not* equip the mog amulet when hunting the big dudes for the hp+ materia – it is *not* the rare. it is the common drop. I unequipped the mog amulet and it started dropping regularly – vital slash is the rare.
I just wanted to say that this page is awesome, I was able to put my HP from around 2400 to 8000 in an hour! Thanks!
in this guide, only u and brian did the most impressive thing in guiding newbies. thanks for the much needed info on getting zeidrich. becoz of what the owner post on the web, i search intensively on his wrong mission tip. its beena few times i seen that his mistake caused quite a few of us to be in deep mess. thanks again to u and brian.
Costly Punch + HP 999%:
step 1
Fuse 2 lvl 1 DMW materias with a fat chocobo feather
Result = lvl 1 libra with hp +40%
I dun seem to have this result, I’ve gotten lvl 1 libra with hp+20% instead. Can anyone verify this? Thanks
Make sure your costly punch has been mastered before combining.
i already got hp++master +999% but my hp is still 9999 only & not 99999? whats wrong??
you need Genji Armor to break to 99999, get it by completing the dmw at 100%. it makes you endure and regen as well
sorry for my english xD
do yu have adaman bangle? or something that breaks the hp limit?
Thats because power attack is the rare drop HP up+ is common drop.
Hope that helps.
Hey FOlks.. I got my Hp+ 999% and also i got my adaman bangle… but then.. my hp still below 99999, it reaches only up to 40000+ life..
do i need another Hp+ 999%??
Yep. You need another one to reach 99999
just adding this:
you can get Goblin Punch Materia
in other misson not only at Mission 4-5-4, i made 1 now and i got it, mission is 9-2-1 equip steal and Brigand’s Gloves and you get Goblin punch from 1 boss and hammer punch from other.
i stole goblin punch, get an iron fist, tri-fire n even tri-thundaga…bt y isn’t it showing in my item nor materia list? i’m afraid dat i’m doin all d mission 4 nothin’
It’s a bug. I encountered that as well after leaving the Nibelheim mansion. If you have a save near or before that, revert otherwise you’re stuck with having no new materias
SRRY FOR MY ENGLISH XD
IF YOU WANT EASY +100 STATS OR +100%HP
GET MONEY (THERE ARE VARIOUS TRICKS) AND BUY 99 MOG’S AMULETS IN THE SECTOR 7 SHOP (I’TS EASY TO GET IT) THEN FUSION THE AMULETS WITH A MATERY+LIBRA…
THE RESULT= THE MATERY+99 LUCK
THEN FUSION THE MATERY +99 LUCK+LIBRA+ADAMANTITE (STRENGHT) OR CHOCOBO FEAR (HP) OR FOR EXAMPLE OTHER THAN GIVE MAGIC, INTELIGENCE
thx 4 d info…i nw can cntinue wif my game…bt actually my prob is my materia item slot was full..XP…erm…if i wan get 999% AP, izit d same as d way i wanna get 999% hp? bt i think it’ll cost more money…hmmm
btw, thx again
Hi, i’m just wondering where can i find the genji gloves that breaks the damage from 9999 to 99999? what mission?
Thanks,
i don’t know about the gloves but you get brutal witch breaks the damage limit in mission ….errr … 7-4-6
I need to be able to find these special items like the genji ones, plus I need a decoder for fusion in general. I need tri-thundaga, and those special materias. I also want to wonder why my black cowl and the Goldhairpin don’r seeem to work. I’d appreciate your help, and would do you any favor I can for a real response
cool we’re on the same page then, I’ll wait to hear from you RL
The Fusion table is on the last page of the guide

I really need somebody’s help, I’m in the Depths of Judgement with 98% mission completion. The only missions I have left are 9-6-4/5/6, 1-1-6, and 2-1-6. 2-1-6 is not unlocked which it seems like it should be. Am I screwed because I should have done something in Midgar to unlock it or can I still unlock it before I beat it.
Looks like you missed some stuff
Hmm…I read something where it says this mission can only be unlocked if I do something special while builing the flower wagon.
maybe you had to get a quality tire from the guy in the mission room office that you did missions for. Ü
You just made me do 2 hp+ 999% materias, and you tell me “you can combine curaga + Hp+ 999% = Curaga 999%hp” , this is wrong how ever , since hp+ is dominant and it erases the curaga the result will be the same hp+ 999% materia , adding no effects whatsoever, and just simply vanishing curaga.
What the hell im supposed to do to get rid of the 2 hp materias taking room in my equimpent, so i could combine them with other materias without being dominant?
Okey I just found some good info on Gamespot forums. You need to first combine HP+ materia with Hell Fire/bliz/thu to create Status Ward 999% hp, now combine this with Curaga to make Curaga 999% hp.
You have to use a MASTERED HP+. The effects of materia fusion are different when you’re using a regular materia and a mastered one.
i found the best info ever this shit saved my ass big time alright when i took a doo doo my ass was red i was showing my girl and throw on the bed and said more more i was scared because she was holdind a huge knife and then i found out she was cooking.
Hi,
With regards, in stealing HP UP+ every time I used the command steal or Mug I got Power Attack instead. Have tried both option 1 and 2..
Please help.
Thanks
i noticed in the screenshot image you listed showing mog’s amulet in your equipment, I noticed that your max hp was shown as 99999 even though you dont have adament bangle or genji armor equipped. how does that work?
Divine Slayer = HP +100%, MP +100%, AP +100%, increases all your stats +50, breaks the HP, MP and AP limits and also gives Auto-Libra
where we could find the divine slayer??
Very nice tips.^^
Can I translate this article into Korean to my blog?
Please…^^
Just provide the proper link back to the original article (here) and we’re good
What happens if I miss the boy’s quest on chapter 9? To get the Pheonix materia. Is there any way to go back? please help!
RE movers are better in 6-6-1 (8000 sp & rune armlet) anyways i was using mog’s amulet
couldn’t you just steal from the scorpion mech to get 2 SP barriers so that you could switch them for 17200 SP each and all you need is a steal/mug materia and a mog’s amulet
couldn’t you do that?
where are the monsters to steal from? i would prefer a map location cause i cant seem to find them at all
i mean steal the hp up+
Hey i get lots of Magic Pot on 10-2-3 but i cant get the gengi shield, what is happening??
HP++ MASTER into Curaga MASTER.
(HP++ MASTER XXX%) + (Exploder Blade Lvl 1) —> Exploder Blade Lvl 1 XXX%
(Exlpoder Blade Lvl 1 XXX%) + (Death Blade/Poison Blade Lvl 1) —> Death Blade Lvl 1 XXX%
(Death Blade Lvl 1 XXX%) + (Death Lvl 3+) —> Death Lvl 3+ XXX%
(Death Lvl 3+ XXX%) + (Curaga MASTER) —> Curaga MASTER + XXX%
does HP+999% makes your HP to 99999? because i have HP+999% but my health isnt 99999 but 40000+.. or does it have to depend on zack’s level too?
