The description for "Tintinabar" in the FF6 section lists it as recovering 1 hp per step when equipped. This is wrong, and actually depends on the user's vigor.

Code

C0:4A6C LDA $1623,Y ; A = Character Y's first relic.
C0:4A6F CMP 0xE5    ; Is it 0xE5 (Tintinabar)?
C0:4A71 BEQ $4A7A   ; If so, go to 4A7A
C0:4A73 LDA $1624,Y ; A = Character Y's second relic.
C0:4A76 CMP 0xE5    ; Is it 0xE5 (Tintinabar)?
C0:4A78 BNE $4A93   ; If not (and thus, if the above check also failed), skip this part...
C0:4A7A JSR $AEE8
C0:4A7D LDA $161C,Y ; A = Character Y's Stamina
C0:4A80 LSR A
C0:4A81 LSR A       ; A = A / 4
C0:4A82 REP 0x21
C0:4A84 ADC $1609,Y ; Add A to Character Y's current HP.

In other words, the HP recovered each step is equal to Stamina / 4.

Hmm, that's rather interesting...even got me looking at one of me snes saves and, sure enough, the game itself doesn't specify the amount of HP gained. How was it assumed that it was only 1 HP, then?

I always thought it was 1 hp, too. My recent work with the FF6 code has revealed that I was wrong, however.

I think a number of strategy guids list it as 1 hp, so I can't blame CoN for following suite.

Got it. Thanks!

Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? Or perhaps buying a really good looking shirt?

Pleasure. I think CoN's one of the only places to have that right, now.

I think that, by the time you get it, your stamina isn't high enough for it to be noticeable. So the general assumption is that you recover one HP per step (which seems to be the case...)

I'm pretty sure one of the guides I have lists it as such, and pretty much every faq I've seen on GameFaqs mentionned it was 1. Makes it a little less useless, but wasting a relic slot for this still isn't all that worthwhile IMO.
