Quistis Card - FF8 Guide
Location: Balamb Garden
Region: Balamb
NPC: Trepie Group Members
Card Mod: 3 Samantha Soul
First Available: Disc 1
The Quistis Card is played by the Trepie Groupies which are found in the Cafeteria of Balamb Garden. Play either one of the two guys sitting at the table (the one sitting in the front or back) in a game of cards, both of them will have a chance to use the Quistis Card.
Early on in the game you probably won't have good enough cards to beat these guys. If you do, you're a lot better than me at the card game. I'd recommend that if you don't feel like playing hundreds of games until you get lucky enough to beat them you wait until you get the Ifrit Card and Diablos Card.
You'll get both of these within a few hours after starting the game so you won't have to wait that long. After obtaining both of these cards come back here and face these guys.
Card Modding the Quistis Card turns it into 3 Samantha Soul items which can be used to teach a GF the SumMag+40% Ability. You can also use Time Mag-RF on the Samantha Soul item to refine it into Triples if you need that magic instead. Triple is one of the best magics that you can Junction to your characters and I highly recommend you take this route.
The only GFs that learn SumMag+40% naturally are Doomtrain, Bahamut and Eden. Since this is a passive increase for the GF and you don't need to equip it, it would actually beneficial to teach this ability to GFs that do not learn it naturally. This is of course assuming that you summon GFs to deal damage while playing.
(Time Mag-RF) Samantha Soul: 60 Triple
(GFAbl Med-RF) Samantha Soul: 1 Elem Atk
