Rinoa Card - FF8 Guide

Location: Deling City
Region: Galbadia
NPC: General Caraway
Card Mod: 3 Magic Armlet
First Available: Disc 2

The Rinoa Card can be acquired early on during Disc 2, shortly after completing the Deling City portion of the game. Before General Caraway is willing to play the Rinoa Card you'll first have to lose the Ifrit Card to him in a match. Don't worry as you can get the card back by playing Martine in Fisherman's Heaven.

Once you've lost the Ifrit Card to General Caraway he will begin playing the Rinoa Card in matches. For me he played it on the first match but many people report that it took them awhile to see him play the Rinoa Card.

You can Card Mod the Rinoa Card into 3 Magic Armlets which teach a GF the Spr+60% Ability. No GFs learn this ability naturally so it's up to you who you'd like to use it on if you go that route. I wouldn't recommend it because there's many other useful abilities you'd much rather put in your ability slots.

Alternatively you can also refine the Magic Armlets into other items... Forbid Med-RF them into Spr Up or use GFAbl Med-RF to turn it into a Moon Curtain. I'd recommend doing the Spr Up route as it will permanently increase the Spirit of whomever you use it on. Each Magic Armlet rewards you with 10 Spr Ups which isn't half bad.

(GFAbl Med-RF) Moon Curtain: Teaches a GF the Auto-Shell ability or use Supt Mag-RF on the Moon Curtain to get Shell magic (100 per Moon Curtain)

(Forbid Med-RF) Magic Armlet: Turns it into 10 Spr Up items which you can use to permanently increase a characters' Spirit by 1
