==================
=1. AUTHOR'S NOTE=
==================
I have made this guide due to many Golden Sun "The Lost Age" players' demand on how they can get these Rare Item Drops instantly by just using specific spells and types of Djinn to kill the enemy and earn more experience than the usual.

*Note*I have tested this method a *LOT* of times by myself so don't E-Mail me if my RNG methods for some items doesn't work!

For instances:Read my RNG method for the weapon you anticipate to get,TWICE!!

====================
=2. WHAT IS AN RNG?=
====================
RNG stands for random number generator, the thing that controls when you have battles, where, and what happens in them.

==========================
=3. MANIPULATING THE RNG=
==========================
Manipulating the RNG allows you to pick up rare items from certain enemies every time with a certain strategy.

First things first: Go to an area where you know a monster drops a specific item, ex. Sea of Time Islet.

Now that we're inside, save, then use a hard reset (not the button combo!) by turning the power on then off. That's right, slide the switch.

In order for this to work, you cannot have any status ailments except for a curse. In that case, you need the Cleric's Ring.

From here, follow the strategies bellow to obtain the item. You MUST follow them exactly, or they won't work.
