XENOMIC'S PROFILE

1) They...should be? I may have forgotten to fully update them, since there's a LOT of information to be had (plus some of her Sparks beyond Master Spark ARE less accuracy than Master Spark itself, so maybe those were the ones you saw??).
2) Hm...Hibernate is SUPPOSED to put a status on herself, so an icon SHOULD be appearing whenever you use it assuming you don't already have too many statuses on her. Try testing it out on Misty Lake enemies or whatever a weak enemy may be, and see if the status icon works. If it doesn't, then...I'll have to doublecheck the coding or something. It's meant to restores HP and MP over time, I remember that much...
3) The only thing in the synthesis shop you have to craft are from Nitori's skills, which you check them and hit Yes if you have enough to craft them. Nitori IIRC has a dummied command that shouldn't be there.

The Item Shop has the skill upgrades, have to talk to the books to do so.

Weird...was it only at Underschool?

(Also, Speed Fixer Xeno is the nickname I gave to the Xenomic in-game that fixes speed issues. He should be at Youkai Mountain at the base I think is where one person said he was, whom I guess I forgot to remove entirely).

This is also where you want to keep a lot of healing items on hand, or equipment that can help prevent it. Rain Dance is a good tool as well since it gives Auto-Esuna (a chance to heal all statuses every turn while it's active). Most enemies will inflict max leveled statuses (level 10 statuses are those that are either 50 turns or infinite turns) when they inflict statuses. This also works in reverse where once you get your skills up to a good level, it can inflict statuses just as powerful to enemies.

As for leveling? Levels actually aren't THAT big of a thing in this game as opposed to other games really. Extra HP/MP/Speed is what you want from them, but it's not really required (though not saying don't level up at all, that's a bad idea lol). I tried my darnest to balance levels out, but in the end, 2k3's default EXP curve is trash, and any custom EXP curve would've been equally as bad to try to implement. T-T

It's whenever she's added or removed from the party, so in every event coded like that (i.e. going to the HRCS, adding her or removing her from the party while in HRCS, events that remove party members, etc.) will take into account if she's there or not...or supposed to. Meaning I'd have to comb through the entire game just to fiddle around with that (and probably wind up with more bugs too!). ^^;
