Prevents Sleep.
Description
Insomniac is a support ability in Final Fantasy IX that every permanent party member can learn. It prevents Sleep from taking effect for the cost of 5 Magic Stones. It couples excellently with Quina's Night.
Obtained[]
Insomniac is learned from numerous equipment pieces for variable amounts of AP; Amarant learns it the fastest at 20 AP, while Quina learns it the slowest at 40 AP. Equipping multiple equipment pieces that all teach Insomniac, masters the ability faster.
Insomniac is learned from numerous equipment pieces, but one of the easiest and the earliest is from the Coral Ring obtained when Freya Crescent wins the Festival of the Hunt.
Use[]
With Insomniac, the character will be immune to sleep-inducing abilities. When Quina learns Night, the player can use it while equipping the party with Insomniac to remain immune to the effect while the enemy falls asleep. Other good times to wear it is when roaming the world map in the endgame, and the final battle.
