Hint: Excalibur
The Excalibur is forged rarely by the blacksmith if you give him a Orihalcon (the gold bar-like forge-able item). The Excalibur does 180 attack, and has two unleashes. The first one is an average attack, while the other is the same attack three times. The latter of the unleashes is just as powerful, if not more powerful, than the Sol Blade.
Easy Experience
Use the following trick to get more than 17,000 experience per battle from the Wonder Birds in the back halls of the Secret Island Cave (the turtle takes you there) in the Sea of Time Islet. First, get into a battle with two Wonder Birds. Attack only one until it dies and use Mia's Pure Wish. The Wonder Birds can attack three times a turn and do a lot of damage. Then if the other Wonder Bird does not use Regen Dance to bring its killed partner back to life, defend until he does. When he brings it back to life with Regen Dance, attack only one again until it dies. Use Pure Wish again. Repeat this until one of the birds runs. Keep repeating this to get a lot experience. The only flaw is that sometimes one of the Wonder Birds runs and then the other cannot use Regen Dance. If this happens, you must end the battle. You can get about 35,000 per battle on average.
