Pesmerga, please try to read the entire post before responding.

From waterchampion's original post:
"...and i got the one at the iksay supply shop...."

Save at the Inn in Chisha Village and loot the corpse in the Flame Champion Hideaway. If you don't get the Pale Gate Rune, reset and try again. I believe this is the rare item that can be obtained from the corpse. It may take you many attempts.

It would be nice if you had a champion rune on a high level character too.

'm not sure if this works, but try bringing a party with a high combined Luck stat. I got the Water Magic ring in the first try by doing this. I wasn't as lucky with the Pale Gate rune, but I didn't really care about getting one.

You just keep trying. As Kuromimi said, it's called a rare item for a reason. It's rare: you aren't meant to literally trip over it.

If you don't feel like saving and reloading all the time, keep looting the corpse as you pass through the FCH. The FCH is a great leveling spot for much of the game so you should spend a lot of time there anyway. Over the course of the whole game, I usually end up with three or four. So keep trying.

Other than the freebie, it's the only place to get them. Just be patient.

I forget, but i may have gotten one from a semi-boss aswell... At any rate, i tend to find them at the furtherest skeleton in the FCH.

I never used them though. Well I tried them to see the attacks, but didn't use them after that, I didn't like how it limited who could use it to the uber mages that i never use.

Related thought - The strongest attack with the ship, sometimes it does just the cannons in the animation ( Pale Palace equiv ), sometimes the woman on the front of the ship does the Empty World breath blast... what is with that? Does a higher proficiency mean a higher chance of the second part of the animation? I forget whether the damage was different tho...

if you tried what Kuromimi said and it didn't work then.. theres really no way you can get it.. you can try and Gameshark it, but that will kind'a rune the fun.

You should keep trying for the flame chap dead body it will train you and maybe get you strong enough to fight that boss without the rune. or you will find the rune and be happy

(just repeating what Zotmaster said

)

the items in the random bags get loaded before you enter the room that includes the bag.. so you need to be loading a save where you didn't get it loaded.

a quicker way than loading from the nearby town is saving in the Hideaway, and once you load, use an Escape Talisman to get to teh beginning

they sell the pale gate rune at the shop where geddeos base is,cant remember the name of the place,also they can sharpen your weapon quite high

They only sell the Pale Gate Rune in Caleria during the sixth point of view. The best source is the corpse in the Flame Champion's Hideaway.

if u already have a pale gate rune, why do u need another for the water dragon? 1 is plenty, give it to Viki or Estella, or Joker

Because he sold his on accident.

In my main save I think I have around six Pale Gate runes. I simply went back to the FC Hideaway whenever I wanted to level up and checked the body on the right every time I went back.

Adrenachrome, it's nice to have more than one because of all the characters that can use it (Viki, Viki, Estella, Joker, and Sasarai off the top of my head). The first level spell is pretty useful (that is, if it works) and you won't have to constantly run back to Jeane.

There's two different animations? Granted, I hardly use that spell but I've still never seen a different animation or even seen a woman on the front of the ship. And isn't Pale Palace the spell with the Water Dragon?
