Medals

Medals are collectable items in Bug Fables that provide stat boosts, special abilities, bonuses, and new Skills. Medals use a certain amount of MP when equipped, and can be freely equipped and unequipped while out of battle. Each Medal grants a unique effect to a single party member or the entire party.

There are 80 different types of Medals and 108 to collect in total. Medals are acquired by completing Quests, by purchasing them from merchants, and by finding them at various locations in the world. Medals received from Artis as Hard Mode rewards for defeating Bosses will be available for purchase at the Caravan if their corresponding Bosses were defeated in Normal Mode.

MP

MP is required to equip most Medals. Medals may cost anywhere from 0 to 8 MP to equip. If the "RUIGEE" Menu Code is active, all Medals with an MP cost higher than 1 MP will cost only 1 MP.
