stat farming

[Jason]

can anyone tell me what monsters, what they drop, and where they are for stat items that i can farm starting a new game

STR: Seed of Power, dropped by Dragonoid in Raul Hills, Cyrum Castle, and Underground Plant
VIT: Seed of Defense, dropped by Giant Mantis in Baked Plains and Liligue Cave
MAG: Seed of Magic, dropped by Vein Brain in Underground Plant
MEN: Seed of Psyche, dropped by Evil Maneuver in Valmar's Moon and New Valmar
MOV: Seed of Running, dropped by Star Mirage in Aira's Space
AGI: Seed of Swift, dropped by Fenny Bird in Ghoss Forest East and Great Rift

HP: Seed of Life, dropped by Hammerhead in Mysterious Fissure, Aira's Space, and St. Heim Mountains
SP: Seed of Moves, dropped by Scaly Warrior in Cecile Reef and Ghoss Forest West
MP: Seed of Spells, dropped by Brain Bat in Valmar's Body

All of the above can also be purchased at the last shop in the game. In the final dungeon, the Killer Trees drop All Around Seeds (HP, SP, and MP) and Omnipotent Seeds (all 6 stats).

At least some of the seeds are available as random prizes from the walnut collecting mini-game in Nanan Village, although you're more likely to get other consumables.

ty also how bad is the cost for them at end game

[tiornys]

10,000 gp each. I think I typically have a few hundred thousand to spend at that point.

Don't expect to buy too many of them. MAG and MEN seeds are so annoying to farm that you might as well not farm them at all. Best are DEF seeds since you most likely farm the Baked Plains anyway because the sandmans give nice XP, coins and money (by selling Sandman Whiskers).
