Final Fantasy VI Advance Editor

I actually know very little about how this stuff works. If I know the adresses when I open up hex workshop, I can modify basic things. Other than that, its miles an miles of numbers that make no sense to me. Im obsessed with trying to figure out Dragon Warrior 2 NES right now (because its horribly imbalanced), and Im only able to modify a few things based on locations that are revealed. Trying to find bit locations manually would take forever.

Using editors is relatively easy, except for graphic, map, item/object placement, ect, which takes patience to figure out. RPG's are fun to use editors on, because its mostly about changing numbers, and playing through as you edit to make sure there is a good balance.

Am I using the right method with hex workshop, or is there a better/simpler way to access/change raw rom data?

Thanks again, and Im definately having a lot of fun with your editor so far.
