Because I said so.
Has anyone besides me started such a challenge on FFXII? It's simple if you have guns and light armor.
Light armor raises a character's hp so the armor upgrades you get throughout the game will essentially raise your hp to the same level it would've been had you played a regular game. Obviously once you remove light armor, you lose that extra hp.
Guns are the best weapons for this challenge, as most enemies can be damaged with guns (with the exceptions of Bomb-type and Ghost-type monsters) and with a gun, you ignore defense! Meaning, despite your foes getting stronger and stronger as you proceed through the game, your weapons will do fairly consistent damage to them. It's even possible to hit 2,000+ damage with a gun before the Tomb of Raithwall - it just requires some planning ahead and some Bazaar-ing.
Since this is a No Level-up challenge, you cannot level up. (durr.
) This makes the accessory Firefly a god-send It prevents you from gaining EXP when you kill monsters. You can first get this accessory in the Stilshrine of Miriam OR by poaching Slaven Wilders in the Eastersand near the Mosphora region. Poaching enemies does not give you EXP, so if you're in trouble, forget endangered species and POACH!
I've gotten past the Phon Coast already and am en route to Archades. However, I've already gotten the best possible weapon for this challenge, the Fomalhaut, and can kill the Mirror Knights in the Feywood with ease.
If anyone wants to start this challenge, or wants to ask me questions about the No Level-up Challenge, post!
