Village of the Ancients

Inn Price 120 gil

Amenities Revive Spring

The Village of the Ancients is an optional area that sells a whole lot of nice gear and Spells. It's worth coming here after gaining use of the Enterprise to stock up. Don't miss interesting Spells like Sight and Teleport while you're here. If you're trying to save money, you can find a suit of Flame Mail in the Tower of Owen and a Mage Robe in the Gulgan Gulch. While the reward is not really worth it, a child will challenge you to ride around the outside of the Floating Continent on a chocobo. If nothing else, it's easy and kind of fun to do.
