Max BP Guide

Guide for getting the highest Bracer rank.

Introduction

While the achievement requires 380 total points, there appears to be 382 in the game leaving a very small margin for error.

There are many points in the game you will find yourself beginning the next chapter while still having quests from the previous chapter to complete. Don't panic just yet, while the game says you are now on the next chapter, many scenarios count in your Bracer Handbook towards the last chapter until you advance the game. This guide follows the Bracer Handbook for quests. Always check it for accurate information as the transitions can be misleading. This is also the reason many people in the forums are coming up with different totals for BP count per chapter.

Chapter 6 and 7 have no side-quests, just 9 BP each in the main quests. Chapter 9 has no BP at all so it is not currently listed.

Achievements

Breakfast Safari
-Find Bacon, Eggs, and Golden Toast.

This achievement seems really vague. You might notice while playing you can talk to pigeons in the game if you're fast enough before they fly away. Every pigeon in the game is named after food. There's three pigeons named Bacon, Eggs, and Golden Toast. Their locations are:

• Eggs - at the Erbe Royal Villa the first time you were sent there. He's in the front yard. He's gone after the quest.
  
  
• Golden Toast - Outside the front of the church in Grancel.
  
  
• Bacon - On top of the clock tower in Rolent AFTER you do the first quest (check immediately when it becomes night).

[moshiwakeda]

Thanks Rumi,
Also, Gambler Jack - Vol. 6 can be obtained at Bose market if you missed it in Rolent

[ByTheNumbers]

Wow. Middle of chapter 5, and there's all these things that give BP that I just had absolutely no idea were there and missed it obliviously. Well, I'm sure not redoing 40+ hrs of game time for this.

[salixor]

Thanks a lot for the awesome guide !

[Kommie]

If you somehow screw up, there's always save editors.

[Black Frost]

Mine Commission
Rolent Chapel: Red chair, 2nd floor balcony. Right next to the stained glass
Mayor's residence: Examine the 5 boxes on the south wall
Back of the armory: Examine the oven. You will find the next hint and a key.
Rolent Sewers: Examine the locked door and use the key. After the boss battle, check the wooden cabinet next to the fire torch (right side)

[Faint]

So far my favorite guide, nice work.

[LordVysh]

Wow. If you didn't arbitrarily choose the best options in the Prologue you're already screwed. Screw this achievement then IMO.

[Rumi]

Lol, wasn't sure but I went and checked. Not only is the wording the same, every bit of punctuation is exactly the same. Literal copy-paste. That's messed up.

[MΛRVΞLFROZΞN]

@Rumina, i think the perfect achievement guide plagiarize this guide. the wording is exactly the same, just not in table form.
