So, it's what should have been my first FAQ.  I originally hacked into SaGa
Frontier's monster data files by using XVI32 (a story better told in my Monster
Item-Drop FAQ) to find the data you will see here.  As told in the
aforementioned FAQ, I used CMGSCCC's item values, and they matched with the
values found in the monster files.  However, CMGSCCC's monster skill values
weren't all working, for some reason.  I was happy to find data common with the
discoveries Oulak's FAQ had made about skills you could absorb from monsters,
but..... one thing was wrong.  Instead of absorbing Psychout from Rocky (which
was the only known monster you could do this from, making it an obvious way to
check for the data), the file told me, according to CMGSCCC's skill values, that
you absorb PowerBeat from him - one skill value off.  I couldn't figure it out.
There was no way you could absorb something like PowerBeat from something like
Rocky, and Psychout wasn't there.  Did the programmers have some kind of trick?
I checked CMGSCCC's values for error, but found none.  Disappointed, I gave up.
 
Well, apparently, I didn't check hard enough.  CMGSCCC's values were off by one.
They skipped the value 008E and then left the skill for 0099 (which should be
DeathTouch) out.  This caused everything from 008F to 0099 to be incorrect, and
then it evened itself back out, making the rest of the skills look like they
matched up perfectly.  Alas, CMGSCCC, please be careful.
 
Anyway, when I figured that out, I immediately compiled this data.  However,
something is still amiss.  Read the bottom for that.

After collecting all this data and running around like crazy on a top-rank
Emelia file looking for old enemies, I've discovered a lot of skills you can
salvage if you didn't get them early on, but these three skills insist on being
unrecoverable:
 
Coils              Goblin, [Whipjelly], [Zombie]
 
GhostTouch         [Ghost]
 
SleepGas           [Mandrake]
 
Also, if you looked at the two Lummox enemies, you'll notice that you cannot
absorb any skills from them.  Hmm.  Odd.  Because I know for a fact that I sat
on Riki's file and absorbed Claw, ElfShot, Feint (which can't be absorbed
anywhere else), and Chop.  So what gives, data?  I can assure you that the data
you see here is correct - don't let the Lummox scare you off.  The data you see
here is too obvious not to be correct.  It just means that there is some event,
or something else we can't see, in that Lummox battle that allows for those
skills to be absorbed, or there's a whole other set of absorbable skills
somewhere inside the monster data.
 
At any rate, it looks to be the end here.....  Again, thanks to GameFAQs, XVI32,
and the guys on the SaGa Frontier message board.
 
And also, don't plagiarize this.  Please.  Just don't.  It's barely 30 KB.
 
End of document.

I have nothing to add, save that this FAQ is complete, concise, and free of fluff. An excellent example for aspiring FAQ writers, in my opinion.
