Decided to try my luck at a Rage crystal. It's easy enough, just run until you get to your first single elite soldier formation and finish it with a Ball of Lightning spell and it's yours.

Easy Power Ring:

Avg. Party Lvl = 63, make sure your 3rd fastest character has a Thunder Rune.

1. Save in Gregminster Palace, Hard Reset.
2. Run/Let Go of 9 battles, enter battle with 3x Phantom and 1x Ekidonna and end with Hell Spell.
3. Let go until you get into a battle with 1 Colossus and 3 Imperial Guards. End battle with Thunder God for a Power Ring.

Let me expand on the last post as the item I was originally looking for - the Windspun Armor - can also be obtained down this path. Make sure your 2nd fastest character has a Rage Rune equipped.

After following the path above, do the following:

4. End the next battle (1 Colossus) with a Ball of Lightning from the Thunder Rune. (Sometimes this battle is a Phantom Formation, just opt to Let Go if that's the case and the following steps will be the same.)
5. Let Go of 1 battle.
6. End battle of 1 Ekidonna and 3 Phantoms with a Final Flame Spell.
7. End the next battle (1 Colossus) with a Ball of Lightning Spell.
8. Let Go of 1 battle.
9. End battle of 1 Ekidonna and 3 Imperial Guards with a Final Flame Spell to earn a Windspun Armor.
10. Save and repeat all steps above to cycle through a Power Ring/Windspun Armor run.

I should also note that Tir is the fastest character in the runs mentioned including Power Ring, Windspun Armor, Rage Rune, Taikioku Wear, and Master Garb.

So... the Power Ring path, sometimes instead of a Colossus with 3 Imperial Guards is sometimes replaced with a battle of 1 Colossus and 3x Phantom. Weird. End with a Thunder God spell and you will get the Power Ring.

Thunder Rune formation is as follows:

Follow first three steps to receive a Power Ring listed above, make sure your 2nd fastest character is equipped with a Rage Rune, and that you are close to the entrance of Gregminster Palace so that you can exit after receiving the Power Ring. Once outside in the open world, fight random battles and perform the following steps:

4. Let go of enemy units until you get your first group of 3x Simurgh battles and end with a Final Flame spell, defend with everyone else.
5. Next battle, 1x Simurgh, finish with Ball of Lightning from 3rd fastest character's Thunder Rune and defend with everyone else.
6. Repeat step 5 for the battle immediately afterwards.
7. Next battle is 3x Simurgh, finish with Final Flame and defend with everyone else.
8. Let go of 1 battle, fight 1x Simurgh in the following battle and defeat with Ball of Lightning.
9. Let go of 2 battles, then defeat 1x Simurgh in the following battle with Ball of Lightning.
10. Next battle, 3x Ninja and 1x Simurgh. Defend with everyone and finish the battle with Tir's Hell Spell.
11. Next battle, 1x Simurgh. Defeat with Ball of Lightning and defend with everyone else to receive a very hard earned Thunder Rune.

Phew!

Been awhile but I have 3 seemingly easy yet possibly frustrating ways to get Earth Rune Pieces from the start of the game. You will need the following:

Cleo + Fire Rune and 2 Wing Boots to boost her speed.
Party of Tir, Gremio, Viktor and Cleo in that order. Save at Rockland and make sure you have access to Firestorm.

Both methods require one of the two NPC’s to move off screen but we will never be able to determine if they do or not as both Marco and the NPC on the same screen as him must both stay still. The indicator that you are in the right seed is the first battle on the open world.

Method 1:

World Map Battle 1 = 3x BonBon, Let go of them, enter Mt. Seifu.
Battle 2 = 2x Black Wild Boar. Attack with your front row, should default to the right-most Wild Boar which is what you want and then Firestorm with Cleo. Earth Rune Piece will be dropped after the battle. This is the method we want all the time but if not then...

Method 2:

World Map Battle 1 = 3x Mosquito and 1 Red Ant. Let Go then enter Mt. Seifu.
Let go all enemies until you get to a battle with 2 Black Wild Boar enemies. Attack with front row and Firestorm with Cleo. Let go of enemies until you get to your second group of Wild Boar enemies, Free Will with everyone and they will drop the Earth Rune Piece.

Method 3:
World Map Battle 1 = 6x Mosquito, Let Go and enter Mt. Seifu. Let Go until you get to the 2x Wild Boar battle. Attack with front row, Firestorm with Cleo and Earth Rune Piece drops.

If you get any other formation with the first over world battle, reset and start again. What makes this frustrating is when Marco and the other NPC move or the NPC’s in the background move an undesired way which you will never be able to check and you have to waste time resetting. Be sure to rest and save after each attempt and complete as often as you like.
