How can I get all of the items from the treasure chests when I'm escaping Castle Karnak?

What Jobs and Abilities should I use? What level should I be? Should I stock up on potions? Etc, etc.

Have a Thief, if they're your fastest character and you can put the ability "Flee" on them, even better. If you do that you can dash at four times the speed and auto escape from random encounters. I honestly would not advise trying to get everything, I believe it's possible, but looting the entirety of Karnak Castle is just not easy.

Every chest that doesn't just have gil has monsters in them and the final sergeant outside the doors has a blue mage spell you can get early if you take out his dogs first. So you can see why getting everything from this place can take a bit of time.

There's a ribbon in the third basement, the spell Esuna on the first floor, a Main Gauche on the outer wall's right tower, and an Elven Mantle on the outer wall's left tower. Those are the most valuable items and Esuna can be bought in Lix for 3,000.

Escaping in time with all the chests is easy. Getting the Death Claw blue magic is trickier.

Go to your item menu when casting spells, it stops the timer. Suddenly every fight only takes about 6 seconds. Just yesterday I got all chests, bestiary entries, and death claw with 5 minutes left afterwards.

Sorry for the necomancy here, but I thought it would be better than making another topic about it. But if I use flee to escape every battle, won't I hurt another item later on in the game?

Yeah, but that weapon's worthless because it can never go back up in power, pick the other one.

The Brave Blade is one of the strongest swords available, provided you never ran from any battles.

The Brave Blade can only get worse, The Chicken Knife can only go up. Stonks.

Which would be fun if you got the Chicken Knife early in the game. IMO, it's better to get a late-game reward for managing to never run.

Uh, both weapons count for the whole game, start to finish.
