How to Poach Monsters
Have a Thief or the Poach Skill
| Thief Skills | JP | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Poach | 200 JP | Deliver slain monsters' remains to a poachers' den. |
In order to Poach a monster, you just need to knock out an enemy with a character with the Poach Skill. The enemy would drop an item that you can trade-in for special items at the Poacher's Den
By having any party member enter the Thief Class, you can spend Job Points to obtain the Poach Skill. This Skill is also required if you want to enter the Poacher's Den.
Only Byblos has the Poach Skill Innately
Due to Luso's absence in the remaster, only Byblos is the only character who innately has the Poach Skill. However, he can only be recruited in the Midlight's Deep dungeon which is a late-game dungeon unlocked at the final Chapter of the game.
You need another character to have the Thief Class if you want to Poach monsters for the useful items.
Where to Find the Poacher's Den
Dorter, Warjilis, and Sal Ghidos
The first Poacher's Den you can encounter is during Chapter 3. You can only enter if a unit in your party has the Poach Skill equipped. The Poacher's Den can only appear at Dorter, Warjilis, and Sal Ghidos Trade Cities.
