Quick Healing Magic Level Gain
When leveling up healing magic during a battle, a character must be hurt for the magic to gain experience, and the animations take a while. Instead, level up healing magic in the menu.
Go to an inn where you can rest for free, such as Biron Monastery or Jeremi. Equip anyone with equipment that raises MAX HP, such as Mei's Pendant. You should be missing HP. Heal it with the healing spell to be leveled up. Then, take the HP increaser off, then put it back on. You will be missing HP again. Heal, and continue the process. Instead of waiting over a minute to get one valid use in, you will only have to spend a couple of seconds unequipping.

Point Card
Aftere you revived the genesis tree in Rim Elm and after Mei gives you the Hunting Clothes, go to the items shop. Head upstairs and in to the back room. There is a drawer there. Open the drawer and get the point card. The point card allows you to gain points on items you buy. The point card can be used in battle to do damage on the opponent. The damage will be equal to the number points to the point card. After you used those points, they will be returned.
