It was a joke about the amount of questions by me lately.

Okay, Scott. You sound just about right for the Valley of Dragons. There's only one Boss Fight, and it's not so bad. Just be sure that you:

(1) Pick up the BoneMail. It's in one of the skulls you'll find. DO NOT equip it. Sell it.

(2) Get Golem. He'll be a random encounter once you're close to the top of the area. He will be under attack by two dragons. Have your Summoner heal him, and pound away with your Ninja, Lancer, and Red Mage.

(3) The Boss is the Dragon Grass. Be sure to summon Golem to deflect the physical attacks, and after that, summon any other monsters you've picked up. What summons do you have?

(4) I'd recommend revamping your party. Summoners and Red Mages are good. Lancers are GOOD, but unfortunately, it'll become obsolete once you find the higher warrior jobs. Same with Ninja. As soon as Bartz or Galuf (I assume) learn the !Throw command, I'd recommend making them a Knight and a Monk, respectively. I'd also recommend a White and Black Mage, since Red Mages won't make it far past about LV3 !White or !Black magics. Soon as your happy with Reina and Faris' progress, switch them to Time Mages or Summoners with their first abilities secondary. Get yourself a Blue Mage, and start picking up blue magic. Aero 3, White Wind, and Guardian number among the best spells in the game.

(5) I'm only telling you this stuff because unlike other FF titles, most of the fights in 5 matter less about how high your level is, and how you've arranged your job abilities.
