Farming spots

[Appie]

Treasure Hunter is all I need at this point, all I need is the dam rings. Done all the weapons, and major acc.
Shouldn't of sold the shit off. I've tried upgrading the neck pieces and then dismantling them with no luck.

Edit: Need a Ice, Thunder, Earth ring if anyone knows a mission or something that can drop it.

Heres a List for the people that are curious of the TH award.

Missions do drop it, but you already completed those if you only need the TH trophy. I got myself in the same situation actually lol. Lacking Ice and Thunder ring and don't have the charms to dismantle them from. So if anybody has a mob that drops it: hook us up! XD

Edit: going through the mob list in the guide, don't see a mob that drops it >.>
It needs to be on you all or have been on you all when you speak to Bakti on that save right? So even if I started up an old save who can get access to those rings I'd still have to get every other goddamn item on that save too? XD

[Fayttt]

ugh, i only need 1 more trap and i literally just killed turtles for 4.5 hrs straight and not a single drop, not even an ingot
whyyyy

[Tobi]

You guys are forgetting the secret to make Traps drop more often, Hope has TH10 >_>

[Fayttt]

I used Hope!

[-Zer0-]

Maybe you need to use Last Resort!

[Atreides]

Hope definitely doesn't make traps drop, so far 0/24 (but ive gotten like 8 or 9 platinums so meh)

also has anyone played around with Fang's "Stagger: TP boost" weapon yet? Wondering how fast you can get the TP Gauge to increase with energy sash, champions badge, "gestalt/TP charge" synthesized ability, and that. With the former 3 it takes me 3-4 five star fights to get 1 point of TP back, which isn't too shabby.

[Appie]

Seems so far if you sell the charms or elemental rings, you're SOL on the TH trophy. Time to get all shit on my save file from 60 hours ago! (when I entered chapter 11... lol........)

[Tobi]

I didn't bother selling shit 'cause I never came across the point where I really needed gil until very late in the game when I started upgrading weapons, and even then I didn't bother to sell anything.

Edit: Also, I think Vanille may be the secret to Traps >_> I notice I went 1/2 with her in my party with no Catalog equipped.

[Atreides]

that is definitely just dumb luck

and I hate you

[Atreides]

also where are people farming Perfume? On that long north-south road in Edenhall, just before Orphans Crade? Or somewhere else?

[Tobi]

Yeah, was pretty luck :D

The path leading to Orphan's Cradle or the Beginning where you first started out, there's a Turtle there too.

[Julian]

Tried the blue ones again.

FUCK the large ones. Need to stagger them at least 2-3 times to kill, and they're annoying as shit. Ultima randomly kills me.

I tried the smaller ones, just luckily beat one... I got the finishing highwind off just as it was casting the ultima that would have finished me >_>

and it dropped a gold nugget, joy.. think I'm gonna reload my old save again.

[Fayttt]

I'm scared to fuck with those things. I'm 6/6 capped jobs now and my main team all have their ultimate weapons, but yeah..still kinda scared.

[Julian]

I'm 4/6, with the two leftover jobs kinda close to done, ultimate weapons on my entire party, but only Fang's is *. Kinda need dark matter to upgrade armor :/

[Fayttt]

Mm, I don't even have any * weapons yet lol. Fang's is lvl 90 and Light's is lvl 90 but Hope's is only 35. I'll probably just end up farming ingots for dark matter, those turtles seriously sound wayyyy too OP to screw with.
Not to mention my first run-in with them was like "hey, I wonder if I could kill one!" (Libra and notice 10M HP on a small one) "uhh, oh shit." and I was promptly Ultima'd for 30k rofl.

[Julian]

Ok, with a little bit of practice (And when I cap Hope and Vanille's SEN for higher -dt) they aren't too bad. Killed a big one!

Two things that really help: One, you can slow the big one, even when it's not downed (I think, slow stayed on after it went up when all others went away, so I assume so), and slow REALLY helps. There was SO much time inbetween stomps, it was crazy!

Also, when it's downed: POISON! With 15 million HP, I don't want to imagine how much of my damage was thanks to poison, holy shit. I killed the big one just by downing it twice, although I killed it right as the second one wore off. It's still kinda random though. Ultima can go fuck itself. The damage seems to be really random. Sometimes I life with a decent chunk left, sometimes I just barely survive, and sometimes I bite the dirt. Shit pisses me off.

The smaller ones aren't too bad, they just take a while to kill. Since you can't down them, you have to be patient, and switch to SEN/SEN/SEN when necessary. IE: When it spams bay and quake and ultima like a motherfucker.

But, the main problem is, what's the point of upgrading them? The larger ones will drop Traps more often (BIG FUCKING DEAL, not like you need them at this point), and still drop plats at the same rate (maybe a bit less since trap rate is higher?), but they're really not worth the effort of killing. What's the point of killing them anyway? :/ Smaller ones drop gold nuggets (60k, MEH), and Dark Matter (the only thing you really need to farm...)

I think I'll go check out Eden and see how I like doing Perfumes, but I got a save back to pre-blue turtles just in case =/

[Ronfar]

As long as you put slow on both the small and large ones they are a joke.
Just takes practice on the timing for 3/3 sen.

[Julian]

I used my dark matter to upgrade my power glove. Going from 250->300 was somewhat (read: VERY) underwhelming.

[Ronfar]

Not when you stack 3 of them =D
Fangs a monster with that and 960 STR weapon.

[Akiyama]

Only reason I'd use dark matter on gear really is to get the credit for the item toward the trophy :/ the price you have to pay for that (or to farm.. which is still a huge price) is retarded. Gonna stick with my plat ingot/trap dropping turtles I think.
