Fund management for Xenogears speedrun (Single-Segment)
Introduction
There are 4 locations funds become last minute:
Sources of funding that are available on non-force combat until then are here:
- Random battles in Cave except Mayfly and Jellyfish
- Random battles in desert for learning Citan's SX except SandShark
- Shinobi (1500G and Simp Circuit) and RapidFire (200G and Resp Circuit); as you like
- Phobia (2048G) and Conjurer (550G); as you like
Here, I referred to as proceeds from combat them is assumed to be 0G and items enemies drop in force combat(not 100%) aren't also available.

No ploblem even if you run out of money. But when you 'Tune up' Gear, you must have enough money to 'Outcome'. And, you can change the number of Items you buy as you like.
3. up to Nisan (2nd visit to buy Ether Doubler)
Your income may change in the 'Battling' this section:
- The prize is fixed in total 14550G, but the bonus is in the variability due to remaining HP on the final round.
- You can put tne hand 1000G in the first battle (against Ganador) by all means.
- Similarly 8000G in the final battle (against Stier) if high rating, 6000G if middle rating, and 5000G if low rating.
Rating | First | 2-1 | 2-2 | 3-1 | 3-2 | SF-1 | SF-2 | SF-3 | Final |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
High (Remaining HP > 95%?) | 0 | 200 | 300 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 1000 | 3000 |
Middle ( 5 % < Remaining HP < 95% ? ) | 0 | 100 | 200 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 800 | 1000 |
Low (Remaining HP < 5%?) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
As you can see the remaining HP of the 'Rating' column, it's easy to be in middle rating. It tends to be high rating, but you should calculate in middle rating for hanging certainty. I feel that getting low rating is more difficult than losing personally. However, watch out because it can lead to lack of funds when it comes to just low rating
From the above, you should consider to have adopted the proceeds from middle rating.(total income 3500G) Once, you can make up for in 'O2 Cylinder'(=1250G in Goliath) and 'SerpentGWhip'(=2250G in Thames), even if you couldn't get bonus.

This way of raising money is a little bit old (my record is on Aug/12th/2012). Now I think:
- K35 is not necessary for Weltall (B30),
- HEIM064 and #50 for Heimdal change to only HEIM130,
- There is no need to tune Renmazuo,
so I can buy War series in Shevat in passing to buy EtherStone. That means that shopping is reduced once, and some Gold Nuggets will be unnecessary.
