Most recently, I got the "Throw Money At It" trophy in Trials of Mana. I started a second playthrough in it, as I've currently hit a wall in my main playthrough (having trouble beating Ludgar at Chartmoon Tower), so that means I'll have to grind a bit more. Mostly the second playthrough is to find/gather certain things earlier, now that I know what to look for, as well as switched out Riesz for Hawkeye in this run, meaning the trio this time is Kevin, Angela, and Hawkeye (also, I want to exploit Hawkeye's higher Luck stat and his Lucky Find abilities to farm for Item Seeds early). As a result, I made sure to gather more lucre (the game's currency, in case anyone doesn't know) to give to Watts the Dwarf for the Nitromite (I hope I spelled that right), as the only way to get the trophy is that way. Of course, I couldn't gather up 5000 lucre, but I could afford the "discount" of 3000 lucre, leaving me with roughly 400 lucre to spare. Still have to go through the dungeon to fight the Gem Eater and rescue Gnome the Elemental, but that's no biggie, especially since my trio are higher leveled at this point than my previous trio were at the same point.
