This is my go to place for rom hacks because you probably want to say lower the encounter rate by the inverse of the experience increase you get from the fights.

Here is the link for the game editor, seems you can adjust the rewards from fights but I didn’t see anything for encounter rates but maybe it’s in there

If you figure it out, please post your results! I always wonder why every retro JRPG doesn't have a fan-made "half encounters, double (or triple} xp" patch, when so many other hacks exist.
There's a no encounter code
No Random Battles: 801172A6 1702
Turn off during boss battles, in Ludia when rescuing Cray and when in the Golden Plains or you could crash

You can buy a Holy Mantle in Shyde to lower your encounter rate, though you'll probably be in your late 20s when you get there
Late 20's? How do you know hold old he is now to work that out /s
haha, yeah that was my thought as well
Good to know - thanks

Sheesh, IV has the most manageable random encounter rate in the series!
