    while we're on the subject, does anyone know if Surivivalist Catalog simply increases the likelihood of Shroud drops when you get a 0-2 star ranking, or does it allow shrouds to drop with 3-5 stars (even though they normally dont)?

    edit: oh derr, you can still get shrouds at 3-5 stars, just at a 1x rate as opposed to 8x with 0 stars

    here's the table in case anyone is interested (without choice/catalogs btw):

    Stars - Rare rate - Shroud rate
    0 - none - 8x
    1 - none - 4x
    2 - none - 2x
    3 - 1x - 1x
    4 - 3x - 1x
    5 - 5x - 1x

    so now I just need to find shit that drops ethersols and med/syn/sab so fights take a long ass time lol

    Would you say auto bravery is better than str300 on shit you're just trying to plow through quickly?

    i think i'm going to grind in Mah'habara mobs here with catalogue drop shit loads of mechanical items good for levelling weapons. Anyone else done that. Seems easier than farming cash or digging at the moment.

    Depends on your total strength. I believe normal bravery is just 1.25x? (Really not sure, so I could be wrong!)

    So as long as you have at least 1200 str without the +300str, auto-bravery would be better assuming the battles are fast.

    No place to really farm them sadly. Energy Star Sash nets you one Ethersoul, but it has to be maxed and it can't be bought.

    For anyone around chapter 11 that needs money:

    Go repeat Mission#7 a bunchhhh of times. Chance for Tetra Crown/Tiara to drop. One sells for 15k, one sells for 40k, plus you get bomb ashes that go for like 250 a pop. Good for upgrades (or selling x99 of them for easy money).

    Also, you can upgrade the crown to star (one upgrade), for about 35k, dismantle it, and upgrade the shoes one upgrade to star - those are the boots that give you auto haste and will make farming everything easier. Not to mention, the dismantle for the crown can give you back your Pervoskite that it cost to upgrade them, so after the initial 30k investment it's like 5-10k to upgrade the next 2pairs.

    Good money + great item for farming cp/gil. Do mission 7 enough and you'll have a few hundred thousand gil. The items are a rare drop but it's a joke to 5star.

    Note: there is a waystone near that mission to teleport you out of there <3

    Another mission if not mentioned before was 24, 6k CP and you get moonblossom seed x6, and sell 6k each so 36k a run guaranteed.

    How do you work out 6x Moonblosson Seed from M24? Only one as mission reward.

    How had is Mission 41 vs the 3 tonberries?

    You get 1 tonberry figurine for repeating the mission (sells for 28k), and each tonberry has a 5% chance (which I assume is 25% if you 5star it) to drop another

    Oh, sorry I read my guide wrong. First run is 6, each run after is 1. So you get 6k CP/Gil

    10-15 seconds. Use light, start with pre-emp shroud, cast Quake first to break them, summon Odin, Zentetzuken, dead.

    Easiest way I finished it, fighting normal seems impossible due to their Grudge moves.

    also uh... is there a downside to say... repeating Mission 63 instead of farming Eden plaza? if the drop rate for platinum is the same for adamantoise and admantortoise, then why wouldnt you just repeat Mission 63 for a guaranteed Gold Nugget as well?

    Speaking of missions 63, I was reading the turtles from it or w/e seem to have unusual higher drop rate on items over the ones outside of it.

    I was hearing from 2 sides that it was working for couple of people and it wasn't. I didn't check to see if it was confirmed or not.

    I'm pretty sure that's the mission with turtles or w/e
