and on chapter 15 there's a guy holding one, i think you have to steal it from him though

this is kind of a dumb question, but how do i do that?
You have to move up to him with a Rogue or Thief (basically, only Rennac or Colm if he's unpromoted or promoted to Rogue) and there should be a Steal option in your menu that usually says Attack, Item, etc. You can then steal his item.

oh ok. i didn't really know because i don't use colm much
 
I never bothered play past the part Carckin got up to.
 
so i've promoted artur and lute now, and ewan is almost level 20.

also cormag is about to level up to 20 as well, what should i promote him to?
 
I've promoted him to a Wyvern Knight, and he's pretty damn awesome.

Just remember to give him the Fili shield that you got from Valter.
 
He's good either way, really.

With Wyvern Knight, you get +3 speed than you would with a Wyvern Lord, and you get the Pierce skill.

With Wyvern Lord, you get the ability to use Swords.

I've always personally preferred Lord because enemies are slow as all hell and having swords is nice, but it's up to you.

Also, take into consideration that Cormag is the only unit (excluding bonus characters who the majority are terrible) that is able to promote into a Wyvern Lord. Tana/Vanessa can still promote to Wyvern Knights.
 
ok so i promoted cormag to wyvern lord

i'll start training tana so she can be a wyvern knight

also i just got the master seal, i'm thinking of using it on ephraim, but i just want to double check if that's a good idea or if i should use it for someone else?
 
(Iirc), bad idea, I think you'll get an item later on in the story that let's him promote.
 
Neimi? IIRC you can only get one promotion item for archers throughout the game (excluding the use of secret shops), and that's by saving the villagers in chapter 6.
I'm not 100% sure about this, so maybe Javs or '3K can comment on it.
 
The characters that i use in most of the chapters are:
Ephraim, who is a level 20 Lord
Natasha, who is a level 9 (almost 10) Cleric
Joshua, who is a level 1 Swordmaster
Ewan, who is a level 2 Druid
Artur, who is a level 6 Bishop
L'Arachel, who is a level 5 Troubadour
Tethys, who is a level 5 Dancer
Cormag, who is a level 1 Wyvern Lord
Lute, who is a level 4 Sage
Franz, who is a level 2 Paladin
Ross, who is a level 5 Berserker
Amelia, who is a level 2 General

and then there are the ones i haven't used as much:
Rennac, who is a level 1 Rouge
Colm, who is a level 9 (almost 10) Thief
Tana, who is a level 13 Pegasus Knight
Forde, who is a level 11 Cavalier
Dozla, who is a level 1 Berserker
Duessel, who is a level 9 Great Knight
Garcia, who is a level 13 Fighter
Kyle, who is a level 7 Cavalier
Seth, who is a level 6 Paladin
Eirika, who is a level 12 Lord
Vanessa, who is a level 2 Pegasus Knight
Gilliam, who is a level 2 Knight
Marisa, who is a level 6 Myrmidon
