    EXP multipliers (+14 items take 36 of said item to reach highest effect)

    Sturdy Bone +14 multiplier 80g
    Barbed Tail +14 multiplier 80g
    Vibrant Ooze +14 multiplier 80g
    Otherworldly Bone +21 multiplier 150g
    Diabolic Tail +21 multiplier 150g
    Transparent Ooze +21 multiplier 150g

    Best components:

    Ultracompact Reactor 40,000exp 50k gil
    Supercharger 774exp 1600g
    Particle Accelerator 4800exp 10,000g
    Turboprop 768exp 1600g
    Superconductor 400exp 840g
    Perfect Conductor 751exp 1600g
    Chobham Armor 460exp 1000g
    Bomb Core 551exp 1200g
    Tesla Turbine 823exp 1800g

    All exp points are averages.

    For total weapon exp costs see this faq: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps3/file/928790/58751 (do a ctrl+f and type "2) Weapons" without " " ) example Axis blade + 66750exp = star level (which is 121.14 bomb cores). Use that chart to determine exactly how many of each item you need so that you dont overspend them. Names aren't translated right on that page but I think they are mostly in order. It was correct on Axis blade. Don't forget to include your initial investment of organics to reach the x3 multiplier in the total EXP costs.

    Also, to add:

    If you are around chapter 11 and want to upgrade; Doing mission #7 20 times gives you 99 bomb cores as well as chance for a rare drop for each kill (one item sells for 15k, one for 40k. I get 1-2avg per 20 kills, sometimes 3 if lucky). The bomb cores are worth about 60k gil if you sell them all which is pretty decent gil at that point if you include rare drops. The real kicker is that many bomb cores are worth about 105,138 exp with x3 bonus, whereas that 60k gil will only get you 37 perfect conductors equaling 53,613 exp. Basically if you kill the guy 20 times, you get 105,000exp worth of upgrading mats, which is much more than you can get for 60k gil worth of any other components. The fights take around 30seconds with a syn/com/sab or sab/sab/com group switching to com/com/rav once deshell/deprotect are up. The rare items also can be upgraded and then desynthed into the auto-haste shoes. The mission giver and mark are about 10seconds walk from each other. Think it's 2250cp per kill as well, so when you are done you will have a decent amount of cp.

    Definitely the easiest, fastest, cheapest way to upgrade a weapon at that stage in the game.

    Also if you're the patient sort you can add your organic components a few at a time to benefit from your incremental exp bonus increases on the way to your 3x multiplier. One more way to get more bang for your buck.
