Vashiane Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 This was a completely accidental find and I just now stumbled across it, and I'm SURE others have found it beforehand. Or maybe, like, everyone. :\ However! If you select a random character's inventory (say... Chrom, for example), and hit the L button, a little menu pops up with three options: Optimize, Store All and Restock All. Store All and Restock All are pretty easy to figure out - the former place all the character's current items back into the convoy, and Restock All replenishes your items, if it can be done. Optimize is interesting though - it gives you the best weapons and items available based on your character's weapon rank and class. For example, I've got my sister's Great Knight Chrom. He has an A rank in swords and lances and a D rank in Axes. If I hit the optimize button I get this at his optimal inventory: Exalted Falchion Silver Lance Iron Axe Gradivus Mercurius And for Dancer!Olivia, who's of course, only got an A-rank in swords... Silver Sword Levin Sword Mercurius Brave Sword Elixir Probably something that's been found already... but... um, yeah. I felt like sharing that!

Vashiane Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 too slowbro thats what optimize does!? Yup! I'm currently optimizing several characters to figure out which weapons it prefers. So far I can definitely say legendaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Tactician Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Oooh, interesting. I'll have to try that out on my avatar sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yeah, had seen it before, but I don't use it. Mostly since I play in lolnormal that I don't really need to have the inventories optimized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK Motendra Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 You know, that's kinda what optimize means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Devil Trigger Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Oh, I've seen this. I even did a chapter (without saving after) with the "optimized" equipment once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashiane Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 It seems to judge the most optimal weapons as being the ones with the most might... as it seems to favor Silver weapons over Brave and of course all the legendaries have massive amounts of might. It also favors Thunder tomes over any other, with the possible order going Mjolnir > Thoron > Valflame > Forseti. Or at least, that's how it appears...

shadowofchaos Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Optimize gives my Olivia legendary weapons. Legendary swords that get prioritized over her personal forged Brave Sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Knew about it, but don't use it because I'm better than it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashiane Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Optimize gives my Olivia legendary weapons. Legendary swords that get prioritized over her personal forged Brave Sword. Wait a second. Balmung and the Silver Sword have a MT of 13, while a MT-maxed forged Brave has a MT of 14... I think... Oh! It probably calculates for BASE MT, and still considers the sword a Brave Sword despite the added might (which for reference, Brave Swords have 9 MT), therefore putting Balmung and the Silver Sword ahead of it.

Integrity Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Optimize (and Restock) is one of the major reasons I love FE13 so much. I use it all the time because I'm better than it.but I'm also lazy as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaia Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I never use optimize. It's cool, but I really never feel the need. And also I CHOOSE MY EQUIPMENT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airship Canon Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I use Optimize for fighting Einherjar and Doing most Story Chapters. ...And Golden Gaffe. I just parse it for things I want to keep and take them out. [Most Legendaries I don't give a damn about, so they can go ahead and use them] ...Restock is the best feature.

Aquakat Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Restock is amazing, but I tend to leave Optimize alone because it ignores forges and I save the legendary weapons for more… climatic battles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hopefully this doesn't sound conceited, but I never even considered that people didn't know this feature existed. I'm pretty confident I found it within my first hour of playing the game. It seems like a really basic feature. I mean the controls menu showing you the 'manage' option is sitting right there, every time you access the inventory. Restock All is pretty much the best thing ever, and is actually one of the reasons why the 3 team LB3 grinding strategy is faster than the often suggested 1 team strategy. Optimise is useful earlygame, but is kind of pointless later on, since it tends to just give you powerful weapons and not weaker - and cheaper - alternative options. But it can be a nice way to set things up quickly if you're changing teams a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I'm with Tables here. 8D; I noticed it from day 1 and I use it when I'm too lazy to assign weapons to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I totally was not aware this was a thing. Not that it matters, because i tend to prefer using my Log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSlayer Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I've seen the feature but never really thought about it or used it. It'll become really helpful though, once I've recruited all the children and all the Paralogue characters in my Lunatic run it'll take a LONG time to give them all items. Wouldn't be very helpful in my Normal run though, because I didn't know what the hell I was doing at the time and never thought about the most important things in the game (Marriages, Skills, Classes, etc;), and didn't give a crap about the Neutral units screaming for my help in chapters (lol).
