3.11: Daguerreo
Treasures: 
Elixir x2, Capricorn, 
Flare OR Meteor
Just inside, on the right part of the canals, find the
Capricorn Stellazzio coin for Queen Stella, and exit nearby. There's a four-armed man nearby who's part of a sidequest himself, but the real draw here is the great synth shop that's going on. What's great is that the shop not only has a huge selection of top-notch equipment, but you can synthesize gemstones for the two summoners. In case you've forgotten, summons increase in power according with their gemstone's type (i.e. Shiva powers up with more 
Opals), so this is a great boon. Go to the left from the synth shop balcony.There's a huge reading room here. Look on the right balcony for a field icon where Zidane reads some books; then, talk to the scholar on the left-hand side of the room and he will move out of the way. Past the bookcase he was looking at is a ladder down to the second-floor balcony. There are two
Elixirs on opposite ends, here. That's all there is to do… or is it?Aquamarine Maker
Press the odd stone button in the third-floor balcony to make "something" happen below. Return to the dragon fresco near the entrance and you will be able to turn
Ore into Aquamarine at a 4:1 ratio. Just be careful, because if you put in fewer than that, you will lose the Ore from the inventory…Want a New Name?
After clearing out the scholar on the third-floor, look past the left-hand bookshelf to find an entrance downward. A man on the second-floor balcony will get inspired if you have a
Namingway card in the inventory, and will agree to change a character's name. This is helpful if you named someone a dumb name or if you just don't like calling the princess 'Dagger.'Fix the Hydrolift
The third-floor equipment salesman can't get wares without the hydrolift on the first floor. But, there is a mechanic's solution to this! Enter the left room where the Oracle Kildea is and find the mini-elevator liftswitch. Hit the left lever a few times to reveal a hole; inspect it and then pick up the long dowel leaning against a bookcase. The lift will now go up to the third floor and the man's shop will be open - this guy's got a load of good weapons for you. Disc 3 is the only time you will be able to buy Steiner's
Rune Blade or Freya's 
Obelisk! And if you don't, the awesome Iai Strike and Cherry Blossom will be missed permanently.Agree or Disagree?
A man will be arguing with the item clerk. If you talk to him, he will present a case on some petty grievance and ask who you side with. This will go on for a while, since you can ask him a few times. If you agree with him the most, he will give you a
Flare; agree with the clerk to get a Meteor. You can only get one!
