1. Introduction
****************
I started working on this guide on 3-27-2006.
It seems that there is a great need for direction
as far as this installment of Suikoden is concerned
as there are multiple runes, changes in the way
you obtain them, and often times, multiple ways
to get the runes or rune pieces you are looking
for. I will try to list and guide you, the best I can
so you may obtain every piece you are
determined to find. Please keep in mind however
that you may obtain some of these items or runes
at points not listed in this faqs, such as from War
battles or in unknown enemy encounters, as I
don't claim to have found all pieces in the game
at this point, I just compiled my notes and
corrected a few places that were inaccurate in
finds. Alot of the drop percentages were
obtained both with the help of the Brady Games
Strategy Guide, and also my own playing
experience.

Obviously, to increase your chances

for obtaining treasure after battle, or from enemy
drops, put someone with a good support skill in,
such as Babbage. Zwieg, Bergen and Lorelai also
work well and can participate in battle. One thing
also on the percentages. It has come to my attention
that although the guide states that these are the correct
drop percentages,the boss battles almost ALWAYS
give you full or 100% drops. Speaking with several
people on the boards, this seems to be the current
consensus. Take it for what it is worth, I guess
and don't base too much concern on the
percentages. If you fight those random monsters
and have the right skills equipped, you almost
always come away with what you were looking
for. With that said, let the faqs
begin!

-A) History
