My discovery total is around 30, I reached a point where I just started exploring around for them.

From those 30, Vyse = 26, Domingo = 4.

Some of them almost seemed like luck because of positioning. The Balloon Flower is kind of just in the middle of nowhere for example. [It did net 8400 Gold.]

More on the game's progress:

SOA: #14 Returning to the Port City Nasrad gets you captured, and it's right back to Valua, this time, the Grand Fortress, a giant fortress wall covered in cannons on it's offensive side, and your in the middle of it inside it's jails.

As a result, your team is split up. You start with Vyse and Gilder, and on the upper floor, Aika is locked up in the upper cell, and Fina is being held in another portion of the Grand Fortress. As for the area layout, it's almost impossible to get lost, since the pathway is as linear as it can get. There's only 2 chests in the entire area, and searching for them takes no time at all.

Saving Aika isn't all that tough, since the boss you fight, while being one of the Valuan Generals, Vigoro, has very little in the way of threatening attacks. Sure, he has Panic type of attack that he throws at Aika almost every other turn, but it does little damage, and the Panic status usually wears off in one or two turns.

Saving Fina isn't difficult either, as the guards are pretty much almost the same ones fought on the railcar from the previous time. As for the final boss of the area, the Dralkor Tank [I had to look up the name, since I didn't remember how to spell it!], this thing is tough. Just about every other turn, it uses it's signature attack called Wheel Blast. It's an area of effect attack that does rather painful damage, and any time the boss uses a normal attack, it's a sigh of relief. Because of the high damage, it's best to just to cast the spell Increm to minimize the damage as much as possible, guard a lot, and heal quite often while using Vyse's or Gilder's special attacks as much as possible.

The end portion gets you a ship called the Delphinus, your official endgame ship. The interesting thing about the game, was that during the early stages of development, Sega tinkered with the idea of allowing the player to buy and sell ships throughout the game. But that idea was ultimately scrapped as the development of the game progressed, so here we are.

This ship's S.Cannon is probably the highlight of the ship, a weapon called the MoonStone Cannon, a giant laser that is hidden inside the ship, where the front of the ship opens up to reveal this ridiculously awesome weapon. It deals massive damage when used as well. For the purpose of getting the ship, you have to contend with a ship battle where you in effect fight the Grand Fortress itself. By using any of the normal cannons on the structure will result in 0 damage. All you need to do is build up enough spirit points to blast the wall with your S.Cannon.

Also, at the conclusion of this, the Prince of Valua, Enrique, becomes a new party member, and Gilder's brief appearance in your party ends.

#15 Return to the Deserted Island and pay up 100,000 Gold to have your ship upgraded [so it can go through sky rifts, basically walls of wind on the world map, which were previously impassable in the earlier portions of the game], and so the Deserted Island can be turned into your base. Paying up is a requirement, so do whatever you can to rake in the gold. [From the Daccat Island portion, you can go to Nasrad, and at the Discoveries info buying and selling shop, you have the option to sell Daccat's Coin for 20,000 Gold if you wish.]
