Uhh, before anyone takes that seriously.


Yes, It, is, a, joke.

[Blabj]

...Or was it?

[Viq]

Is it possible to get rid of the Long Gui after you complete the missions for them?

Edit: So that I can fight normal adamantoises again?

I don't think so, but you can just go back to Eden to farm regular turtles.

Oh right, ta.

[nekoshoonen]

does hope get curaja? I want to swap out vanille out of my party at some point

[Viq]

yes

Now that I'm strong enough to kill Adamantoises without the Death trick (5s on all jobs but one, which is rank 3), I've got the summon-fang kill down to a science. 6 minutes per rotation including zoning time, not too bad so far. 25 kills, 12 platinum, 3 traps.

Is 5s in all roles but one strong enough to kill without summoning? I'd imagine so, but since it takes me such a short time to kill I'm not really in a rush.

Fang and Hope have maxed Kain's Lance/Nues, everyone else has 5-10 ultracompact reactors invested in their rank 3 weapons. I'm contemplating farming a few extra traps to make a 2nd Ultima Weapon and maybe something for Sazh/Snow, but since I haven't even started farming dark matter we'll see how my patience holds.

edit: oh I posted this in the wrong thread oops wuteever

I've found another Collector's Catalog in a chest. Any point keeping this? Does it stack with another C. Catalog?

They sell for a good bit of gil afaik, I could sell it and spend the money on upgrades.

[Fayttt]

Could always upgrade it to the rare item catalog if you don't have one yet.

[Atreides]

does anyone remember if you get the Malodorous Fruit/Succulent Fruit items from chests at any point during the game, or are they disassembly only?

[Fayttt]

I don't remember ever getting those / seeing the names lol I bet they're disassembly only.

[Folant]

Got a few more trophies tonight, finished all quests and that undead one that goes with it, and 5* the last boss. Should hopefully get Treasure Hunter at the weekend then I can start working towards 5* all quests.

Didn't think I would be, but I'm actually still really enjoying it.

Platinum: O. Took me a while to get the last mission done as Vercingetorix was being a bitch.

Oh and 82 hours play time. Not bad!

[Ramor]

quick q: when building the chain guage, does it go up faster if you don't use the same attack in succession?

for instance: sparkstrike x4 versus sparkstrike->aqua->spark->aqua, would they add the same to the chain guage or would the latter add more?

i only ask because i'm curious why the computer alternates on every attack considering it's supposed to choose the "best option", i've tried to analyze it but it's a bit hard when 2-3 people are all attacking the same mob to get exact numbers down on paper

Nice! Congrats! I've still got a bit to go, but I've slacked off.

Friend asked me a question and I didn't really know how to answer - can you repeat the Tower marks somehow? Since while doing it they become unactive and you can't touch them again. What about later? I didn't really think about that because as far as I remember I 5-star'ed all of them, but maybe I will also have to go back to them ;P

Open Map >> Sqaure button (for PS3) you can see all Marks youve encounterd and what star you got for them

Actually, its set up to pick a "good" option, not necessarily the best option. It takes into account your magic vs strength numbers ONLY in Commando to see if Ruin is a better option than Attack. It will choose what you are going to do better damage with between these two in commando, but even then its not 100%. In Rav or Sab, the computer will only choose what the monster is weak to. If its weak to fire then Blazestrike and Fire will be chosen. If its weak to everything it will alternate. It really doesn't even look at your statistics. Even if you synergize for Thunder damage (use two bar/eater items and you get 20% damage of that element.) It will still use random spells.

To take it further, you will sometimes notice if you use auto-attack on mobs that are weak to two elements like "Frost/Lighting" you will see an auto-attack pattern of something like "Ice>Thunder>Ice>Aero" The autoattack is simply not near the best option 9 times out of 10. Maximizing damage will always be done by choosing your own options.

As for your chain question, I believe its done purely by damage done, so 4-6 fires with Hope will be better than Fire>Blazestrike alternating with Lightning depending on your stats.

Just got to Gran Pulse, it's huge... After a couple hours farming CP on the behemoth v. wolf thing I decided to do some exploring, I think I finished 4 missions, just did the first waystone one... how many missions shoudl I do before progressng and how lost am I gonna get cause I'm pretty lost atm >.>;

[Hyan]

18 or so around the main area, they're doable with stage 8 crystarium. You can do about 10 more while progressing the story, too.
