He has like two abilities relative to money or buying/selling. I know one of them is called Haggle and I can't remember the other, I thought it was Sell High or something like that.

Let's you buy things cheaper and sell things for more money.

You're absolutely correct on all the abilities. Anywho, Tonberry King is a very good Guardian Force to have.

Er, one prob. Tonberry King has Call Shop, Sell High, and Haggle sure...but he doesn't have Junk Shop. for that you need a different GF, known as DoomTrain. to get him you need the Solomon Ring from Tears point, six steel pipes from Windigo or Elastoid, six Malboro Tenticals from the Marlboro's and six Remedy's upgraded by the GF Alexanders Med Lv Up ability to Remedy+'s. If you're already at the point of Time Compression, this is no mean feat, let me tell you.

Oh, and H.U.N.K. if the second Red Dragon is slaughtering you with its breath weapon before you get a chance ot use Degenerator why not just have Quistes go into battle with INITIATIVE from Pandemonia or one of the other GF equiped and her HP low already? thats the easiest way to get around that situation.

If you did the Queen of Cards side quest then you can find her at the crashed escape pod site near Esther. (its on a pennensula south of Esther and doesn't actually show up on the map...best thing to do is walk around with Enc None on and hope you bump into it) Also if you played all the 'Suits' in Balamb Garden (diamond, heart, club, spade, Jack, Queen, King) then they should be on the Ragnarok already.

This'll help:

-+-+-+-+-+-
|Obel Lake|
-+-+-+-+-+-

North of Timber is a lake with water a slightly different color than
normal (kinda looks murky). There should be a small peninsula reaching
into the center of the lake. Go to the edge of the this peninsula and
search it for a set of hidden options to appear.

It will ask you:
> Throw a Rock
> Try Humming
Try humming, and a 'black shadow' should appear. If not, keep trying.
The shadow will tell you that his friend Mr. Monkey is lost, and asks
you to help find the monkey. He gives you two clues: 'Mr. Monkey may
have hopped a train toward Dollet', and 'Mr. Monkey likes hanging out
inside of forests'.

Have you guessed where he is? He's in the forest west of Dollet. Just
walk around, and eventually you'll run into Mr. Monkey. Either choice
will make him run for it, so just go back to Obel Lake. Now, the shadow
will give you clues to 'stones' randomly:

'Take a break at the railroad bridge'
'At the beach near Balamb, something special washes up sometimes'
'Take time off at the Eldbeak Peninsula'
'You'll find something on an island east of Timber'
'You'll find something on top of a mountain with a lake and cavern'
'Back in the day, there used to be a small but beautiful village south
of here surrounded by deep forrests'
'Mr. Monkey had a rock like this'

NOTE: These are easier to accomplish with Enc-None on.

'At the beach near Balamb, something special washes ashore at times'
The beach on the Balamb continent houses many rocks, just search the
area constantly pressing X until you find the rock with 'STSLRM'

'You'll find something on an island east of Timber, too'
There's an island east of timber without shores...fly Ragnarok there
and search the island for rocks until you find the one REAIDR.

'There's also something on top of a mountain with a lake and cavern'
Near the Galbadia garden site, there should be a mountain with a
cavern with water coming out of it. Go on top of that mountain
(Monterosa Plateau) and search the area directly above the cavern.
There, you'll find a bird warming it's eggs. Select 'check it out'
and you'll fight a Cokatrice. Kill it, then get the rock, which says
EASNPD.

'Mr. Monkey had a rock like this I think...'
First of all, go to the peninsula and throw rocks. Throw 'em until
it says 'The rock skipped many many times'. After this, go to the
forest with Mr. Monkey. Find him, and throw rocks at him ^-^.
Eventually, he'll throw a rock back at you, saying URHAEO.

Now...put the rocks together for the final clue (go back to the lake
and the shadow will display the rocks in this order)

S T S L R M
U R H A E O
R E A I D R
E A S N P D

See a pattern? If you read it from top right down the list of letters,
it will say MORDREDPLAINSHASTREASURE; Mordred plains has treasure.
Go to the Mordred Plains, which is north of Esthar.

Here, different stones are all over the place. The one you really want
to pay attention to is the red stones. They lie; meaning you should do
exactly opposite of what they say. If they say that the treasure isn't
there, then it's there; check it a second time to receive it. The
treasure is a Three Stars, which teaches the ever useful Expendx3-1
ability.

'Take a break at the railroad bridge'
Well, he hints to the many draw points around the world that are
located on railroad bridges.

'Take time off at the Eldbeak Peninsula'
Go to the Eldbeak Peninsula, which is located north of the Balamb
Continent. Check around it for a stone which says:

TRETIMEASUREATMINOFFDEISLE
Figure it out?
Take the clue literally, and take out the words TIME OFF from the
stones. It should now say TREASURE AT MINDE ISLE. Minde Isle is
located south of Esthar, and you'll get a Luck-J scroll for your
effort.

'Back in the day, south of here, there used to be a small but beautiful
village surrounded by deep forests. Everyone lived a happy life there'
In Centra, there should be a forest with a round grassy clearing in
middle of it. Inspect it, and Squall will mention that there's a lot
of rubble around. Now, the best part of this side quest...

THERE'S NOTHING HERE!!!
