Luckily in Suikoden: Woven Web of the Centuries, there is no hard time limit on meeting the 108 Stars of Destiny. The game has a point of no return right before the very end, and will warn you as such with a big warning message. Before that, you are free to meet Starbearers whenever you’re able to, without fear of losing access for good. Phew!
Stars that teach your party members skills will always favor one member over the other if both are in your party. In this guide, the favored party member will be listed first. If you want the other party member to learn from a Starbearer instead, leave the favored party member behind, or temporarily send them to your reserves.
For your recruits that produce “stock” (e.g. magicite, malicite, arrows, and medicine), you likely want an even spread of abilities between them. Each producer has two production slots, so loading one character with all the medicine options will leave the other out in the cold, and you short on options.
This can also apply to battle characters, depending on your play style. If you plan on using everyone, spread those skills around and let your party members teach each other. If you’re sticking with a set party, you may prefer to load those members up with skills and ignore the others. That’s your choice.
Workshop characters and cooks do not receive any benefit from having their skills spread out, so you may use whoever you wish to learn those skills from Starbearers.
