Clock Abuse Tutorial

_{Note: The Maria in my sig was produced by watching and just plain getting blessed. ;)}

I was wondering how you did that o_0

Just wondering, has anyone found a time for a perfect Marth upgrade in Shadow Dragon?

Not that I know of. He is terrible on Wi-Fi so no one was really looking.

So this only works with attacking? Hm, so say I had a Lena and an arena - I couldn't use the clock for her upgrades?

You must attack, but the attacker doesn't necessarily have to be the one who levels up. Healers can still be clock abused.

Example:

*clock is set*

Archer Wrys attacks Ch. 4 boss doing 0 damage x1.

Wrys gains 0 Exp.

Cleric Lena heals arena guy

Lena gains x Exp, levels up!

I tested a few times using the 'Meteor Method' with Dark Mage Darros and Mage Gordin.

All of the times are for 10-07-2000.

hh:mm[Hp,Str,Mag,Skl,Spd,Luk,Def,Res]

09:35 [40, ?, 20, ?, 20, 40, ?, 15]

14:03 [30, ?, ?, 40, 20, ?, 5, 15]

16:22 [30, ?, 20, 40, 20, ?, 5, 15]

Anyone want to add and change a few numbers for this time?

[General Herpus Derpus]

does anyone know a STR,SPD,DEF, time

_{im fine if you add any other stats though}

Care to specify which character this is for?

Care to specify which character this is for?

5 actually ,merric,darros,caeda,abel,norne

But merric needs mag instead of str

[Meteor]

Melee units should use 08-27-2009 08:11, or 01-01-2000 00:05 if they have really low speed.

Cleric Merric should get +6/+7 with 09-28-2009 02:57.

Edit: Since you are clock abusing, you should consider using a better Sage (AKA anyone with a support or two).

With who? well you SHOULD but maybe you don't do the exact same thing as Meteor.

I'm going to start contributing, out of boredom.

Yes, it is 2012.

[Meteor]

Thanks for trying to help, Darros, but that time isn't going to be of any particular use...

@The Leech, what class is Norne? As an Archer/Sniper, she should get everything but Mag/Res with the 8:11 time.

[General Herpus Derpus]

odd ill try again

EDIT:Gained Str, Spd , Def

Meh, it'll also tell people what to avoid when trying to find new ones. Shitty levelups show up.

That's different than your last results, which tells me you're being inconsistent. Watch this video closely to make sure you're doing everything right.

What if we were to cahgne the date too, like if we wanted a different levelup?

[Meteor]

Set the date before you set the time. The timing doesn't matter until the clock has been set.

i know it was still 8:11 because after thee level up i restarted and saw the time was still 8:11

[Meteor]

You have to reset the time for each attempt.

i use a DSi

[Meteor]

Well that's your problem right there. Refer to this post: http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=16437&view=findpost&p=861877

I can't personally offer any advice for the DSi.

[General Herpus Derpus]

does it work in arena?

[GR8MasterGab96]

does it work in arena?

Not really, but there is a way.

1 Block a chokepoint with wolf and zag!generals,

2 train in arena until close to 99 exp

3 suspend and kill inone shot.

Voila!

Edit I can give advice for dsi I have one the only difference is that after the time set wait til the screen goes away then press home and go in FE:SD.

This is my first clock hack run, but I discovered the perfect Maria time awhile ago if anyone wants it -

03-26-2007 02:35 [15, ?, 20, 25, 25, 75, ?, 40]

Works for Maria as both a Cleric and Bishop/Sage, and I know no dynamic growths are coming into play here due to her getting everything all the time.

Almost done with my clock hack run through, but it would be great to find a perfect Sage Minerva upgrade.

Edited September 10, 2010 by Maria's bro

[Meteor]

Good luck with that.

I tried that... and gave up. Sage Minerva is pretty bad, too. If you don't care about Magic, Dracoknight Boah is probably the best option. However, the odds of a perfect level up are really low.

Archer Lena 105,820:1

Sage Minerva 416,667:1

Dracoknight Boah: 500,000:1

To put that in perspective: If you could test 2 level ups per minute, it would take about 174 days to get a +7 for Boah.
