Question about leveling and slime crowns

[IcyRhythms]

I'm level 75-80ish with some of my characters. Do more skill trees unlock or do just giving them points mean nothing after a certain point? Some characters will be maxed out on the skill tree in few more levels, and since the cap is 99, I'm assuming the only point moving forward would be general stats? HP, MP etc?

Also, what are things like slime crowns and molten globules for? Haven't seen much to use things like this.

Anyone?

I havent gotten that far but my friends 99 and it looks like they learn nothing new like skill point wise but skills they do he said

Most of my characters are 99 and they did not end up with enough skill points to fill out their trees. Some characters do get extra sections post-game.

Slime Crowns and Molten Globules are for different forge recipies.

Regarding skills, in the 2nd part of the game all the characters get expanded skill trees. 2 characters in the 3rd part of the game can unlock a futher expansion of their skill trees. Here's how many skill seeds you need to completely max out everybodies skill trees so you have 0 left over points.

Hero: 14
Erik: 3
Sylvando: 12
Veronica: 12
Serena: 12
Rab: 5
Jade: 3
Eight: 12

Once you have given each of those characters that many skill seeds then yeah, at level 99 the only way to further grow them is to boost the rest of their stats to 999 with seeds. Though, I think I heard that the actual cap for Strength is 1998 so that the off hand will deal as much damage as the main hand. I don't know if the game actually supports showing that number on screen (probably just stops counting up at 999) but I have heard that it does indeed track you giving seeds to expand stats to that point, not that you should ever bother doing that unless you're insane (I know somebody who is indeed this insane with regards to Dragon Quest and I'm absolutely certain he'll let me know if what we heard about this is accurate or not once he's done it.)

Any reason you'd want to boost everything as high as it will go after you've beat all the most powerful enemies?

No, there's really no reason to do so. The only thing I personally justified doing was getting everybody's skill panels maxed out.
