Spitzfire Quest
In the "A Walk on the Wild Side" quest, I am tasked to defeat a Spitzfire using the "Wild Side" pep. I can't get this pep. According to a post in GamesFAQ, all my party members had to be pepped! This never happened. I have killed at least 20 Spitzfires and during these confrontations, at most only one companion pepped. All four pepped!? How long do I have to "grind" to get this quest completed?

Go up to an easy mob and just defend over and over until someone peps up.

Then swap them out of the party.

Continue until you have all required members pepped then go fight a Spitzfire.

Like Koby said, any party member who is in the inactive party will stay pepped forever until they're switched in. It's the easiest way to "save" certain pep powers for bosses or Electrolight / Hallelujah for grinding.

But if you have not already done so, the easiest way to complete those quests is to use the free Pep Pop's that this version of the game gives you. In the System Settings -> Claim Rewards one of the rewards you can get from the very beginning is 5 Pep Pops which will pep up your whole party at once. You can farm extra ones at the end of the game if you want them for the final bosses or secret stuff, so don't worry about wasting them.

Hi //Koby//! Thanks for your advice. At this juncture in my game, I have a total of four companions plus the hero. Thus, I can only rotate one player into the "reserve"; that is, 4P + 1R (4 Players plus 1 Reserve). I can't rotate out two into reserve; that is, 3P + 2R. Do you know how? I think I need more companions in order to use your suggestion. Thanks for your reply.

Hi //Synavix//! Your suggestion is simple, but I can only add the the reward, "Pep Pop", into my game, but how do I use it? And how does it work? Thank you for your input.

The pep pop is a combat item; use it like a healing item or antidote. Put it into a characters personal inventory (you can't use it from the "Item Bag"), and then use it in combat.

//Synavix//!!! As Fasir always say, "A Thousand pardons". I did not know it was an item and I did not realize that I had to equip it from the item bag. Initially, I searched in Abilities, Spells, even in Items during combat and cannot find it. Thanks again... And yes, I completed the Spitzfire Quest.

My bad, I forget that this quest was available before more party members were available. In which case you can still try my idea and hope they all enter Pep state before one loses it, or you can either wait to fulfill the quest until a later time, or you can use the Pep Pops as Synavix suggested. I believe I lucked out and just managed to get everyone into Pep status.
