Reaching Rank 1 Bracer in Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter requires careful attention to quest choices and dialogue decisions. With 350 Bracer Points needed for maximum rank and nearly 400 total BP available, you'll want to squeeze every point from your adventure. Smart decision-making during both main story missions and side quests determines whether you'll achieve that coveted top rank or fall short of your goals.
Understanding the BP System
The game makes earning bonus Bracer Points straightforward through visual cues. Whenever your choices impact BP rewards, you'll notice dialogue options marked with (BP) circles and highlighted in red boxes. Yellow-brown boxes indicate decisions that won't affect your BP total, so you can choose freely without worry.
tip
Save your game before major story decisions to retry if you accidentally pick the wrong option and miss bonus BP.
Prologue: Rolent Region Quests
Your BP journey begins in Rolent with several key opportunities:
Child Rescue Mission
When facing the rescue scenario, select "Storm in together with Joshua" for an immediate +1 BP boost. This aggressive approach sets the tone for maximizing your rewards.
Perzel Pest Control Strategy
The stealth sequence here can trip up players. When you see the "don't get caught" warning, create a save file immediately. Approach monsters from behind while they're distracted and hit Confirm on their backside for +2 BP.
Streetlight Switch Challenge
You'll choose between Estelle or Joshua for the monster fight. Estelle's AoE S-Craft makes this encounter significantly easier. If you pick Joshua instead, remember the code sequence: 544818 when prompted for +1 BP.
