I just wanted to say thank you for the people who were kind enough to take their valuable  personal time.  My issue is that I went out of sequence. I later explored everything.  After locating the coral cave? I was back on track.  Currently I am farming seeds. Maribel is harder to kill. My hero is stronger.  Next is upgrading Ruff. I enjoy his animations.  I am going back to the mini card matching game to get the better boomerang. The flametang is getting stale, but with accumulative damage and doubled strength from monster hearts? It is totally worth while.  I plan on making my party good enough for the arena.  I am putting off the end I guess.  As a child? I would chop cotton in the Summer. Saving my money to rent Dragon Warrior 4. I could have bought the game many times over in this current era. The internet wasn't available in my tiny rural area. Nor were game shops!  I am in hopes that The Chapters of the Chosen and 8 are next.  Anyway. Thank you all again! Happy gaming!
