FFXII 1000 Needles

[Demon Bunny]

Hello! Can anyone please help me? I just started playing the game, and am very excited by the ability to get the ability 1000 needles, but I can't find where I can buy it. Who sells it, and what is the Earliest I can get there? I don't mind going somewhere earlier than I would normally, I just really want that skill, and can't find where to get it ANYWHERE. Thanks a million!

1000 Needles is a Technic, so you should be able to find it at your local technic shops. However, I can't remember when it first comes available.

You should know that 1000 Needles isn't a guaranteed hit, it can miss so you shouldn't rely on it. I do think you need to wait until a part later in the game (I can't remember properly as I never really bother with them) so if you you should consider using your LP and Gil to activate and buy more useful things, like magic.

1,000 Needles isn't all that great..

Go for Berserk. Awesome magic spell.

Almost Doubles the persons Damage and Purely doubles their attack speed. (Currently Vaan does about 1,500+ damage per hit with Berserk.. So, if I used 1,000 needles, Vaan would do 3x the amount of damage before 1,000 needles was even casted. And as Saber said, not exactly easy to hit with...Berserk misses often as well, but at least it's an ability that lasts for about a minute.)

I believe you could get 1000 needles on phon coast, there is a guy on a chocobo selling it. But yeah that tech isn't great, i mostly use it against flyers

1000 Needles can be found earliest at the Merchant on the Mosphorian Highwaste. Early in the game it is a pretty handy technique against some monsters and mainly fliers.

But I eventually found spells more useful against fliers.

by the time you can actually get 1000 needles, most of your characters should be able to hit 1000 damage or somewhere near it. don't waste your money, spells work better. BUT, i did find 1000 needles handy against Deathgaze (a hunt), or some other bosses or enemies later in the game. for example, some enemies will put up barriers against physical and magical attacks, but i found that i could still use 1000 needles, because it is a technick. so, i suppose it can be useful at times.

I only got it when I had license points to waste.

Most of my characters are still sitting on over 1500 LP, but I haven't filled up their license grids yet since I want them to be unique and not all the same.
