2.14: The Town of Moore
Treasures: 
Hunting Knife
Features: Piano
You've got the liberty of sea-travel again, and rest assured the submarine grants access to a few places hitherto out of your reach. There's a few locations you can visit. You could enter X-Death's Castle, only to find the soldiers of Surgate trying to reach X-Death in vain. You could travel to Surgate Castle and hear the rage and sadness of its inhabitants, but it doesn't help you. You could take the Wind Drake who waits for you on shore to Kelb and inform Kelga, but all you bring is sadness.No, we set out to find Gill a while ago, and now is the time to approach him. Krile's still urging us to go, so he must somehow still be alive; perhaps the cave took an air bubble with it while it sank, who knows. However, there are a few things to be done before finding Gill. We should go to Moore, western-most white dot on the World Map.
There's little to do here; it's just a town covering its awesome new equipment and spell selection. There's a
Hunting Knife hidden in one of the barrels left of the Pub; just for evasive purposes, but still a decent blade. Know, by the way, that two Hunting Knifes do not stack. Speaking of Pubs, there's a Piano here! Play it! If you've been following the walkthrough..."A piano virtuoso indeed!!! ...After a bit more practice, anyway."
Weapon Shop: The
Elfin Bow, if you have one or more Gale Bows, is incredibly useless in every sense of the word. What is of note, though, is that the Elfin Bow has a 15% chance of inflicting a Critical Hit, hitherto unheard of with Bows. This does not make it better than the Gale Bow, but it is neat. The Air Lancet, is awesome. Why? Because it boosts the thus far unboostable Wind-elemental attacks! This is especially good news since we're not far from obtaining 
Aero3, the 3rd tier Blue Wind-elemental attack. Buy them for your Mages and Clothes characters, they'll like them.Armor Shop: Not much to say here, really. There's upgrades for everybody. You decide if you want to keep the
Lamia's Tiaras or take up on the Poet's Cap. The latter has more Defense, the former more Magic Defense, gives a slightly greater Magic Power boost and protects against 
Muddle. I'd say go with the Tiara. 
Diamond Bands should be useless amidst all the Genji Gloves, Elf Cloaks and Fire Rings.Magic Shop (White): This is so sweet. I know you're excited. Buy them all, and use them with gusto. If Gil is an issue,
Cure3 and Bersrk are more important than Rflect, but see what you need; you can already set both Berserk and Reflect with !Mix.Magic Shop (Black): The new 3rd tier spells all transfer to Spellblade as well. As Black Magic they're just very powerful. You can ditch the
Poison Rod for the rest of the game and switch back to the weaker ones which boost the primary elements. On Spellblade effects, the elemental spells are a bit different from the others; when the target is vulnerable to the element and not Heavy, the Spellblade effect will simply kill the target in a single hit, disregarding damage output. If you're short on Gil at this point, consider getting only one of the level 5 spells here; as far as weaknesses in the upcoming parts goes, there really isn't much difference.Magic Shop (Time):
Haste2 is especially nice. Get the others anyway if you have Gil to spare, which is unlikely at this point.This town's a hole. Get out. Now, get in yo' submarine and travel to the north where a new summon monster is waiting.
