Farming spots

One is in Archlyte Steppe, on the raised plateau where you get the Cactuar cutscene in the north/center of the map

The other is on Tier 6 of Taejin's Tower in the room just before the exit to the roof

Do you guys finish chapter 13 before going back to pulse to farm and shit, or do you do that at the beginning of 13.

I might farm a little for a few more cp before finishing 13 but just curious.

**Atreides** · 2010-03-22 21:25

I farmed for a while in Chapter 13, perfumes and a few attempts at traps. I actually just beat the game with 2 million gil, 6 maxed stage 2 weapons, all other stage 1 weapons maxed, stage 9 crystarium completely maxed, and 999,999 CP lol

**Boyiee** · 2010-03-22 22:23

You were able to take down turtles at stage9? Death trick?

**Atreides** · 2010-03-22 22:29

yep, if you summon right away the adamantortoise can never get an attack off

**Boyiee** · 2010-03-22 23:23

Which turtles did you kill? All of them? The adamantortoise just wont die to death for me.

edit: ok that one did lol

**Atreides** · 2010-03-22 23:35

yeah just stick with it, I did the adamantortoise in the northern part of Archlyte steppe just north of the save point, and reloaded if I didn't get a drop. You can get 1 TP back on the 3 adamanchelids to the north of that, which should be easy to 5star at stage 9.

Finally got 3x Kaiser Knuckles on my Fang. Damn Dark Matter don't want to drop for shit. Not getting many Gold Nuggets either. Oh well..

Kind of a random place, but it's a helpful/semi-random thread.

Just got access to Army of One (1hr into Ch. 12). Am I right in that it seems to be mainly for building the chain gauge post stagger, and not for damage or pre-stagger building? Also, will the other characters use their best abilities if you're not playing as them?

nope, gotta manually do it

Weak. Sauce.

Thanks~

During my play through, if I had multiple items, I'd sell the multiple but ALWAYS keep at least one of the actual accessory. I do that in all games D:

**miokomioko** · 2010-03-23 03:17

I refuse to sell weapons/accessories. I only part with items I'm 100% positive I can reobtain infinitely. I'm just somewhat worried that I may have missed or will miss something like an elemental ring or charm.

I've been upgrading weapons while still in Ch.11, and I've found that I by redoing Mission 7 over and over again, I can get Tetriadic Crowns and Tiaras (which, after fully upgrading to *, you can dismantle into Hermes Sandles and Sprint Shoes respectively)... You also get 5x Bomb Cores for each defeat while farming, which are quite good for upgrades. I spent around 40 mins, and must have killed him around 12-13 times, for 50-something bomb Cores, which was enough to upgrade a first tier weapon fully (Fang's Gae Bolg), and I did the same again, and got it to level 30-something... Definitely worth the time, for me, as I also made two pair of Hermes Sandles...

This has been posted in multiple threads multiple times. Best way to make money on chapter 11, plus its how you get sprint shoes. Pretty sure the guide tells you to do this too, as well as about 30 websites when you look for cp/gil making strats. Almost looks copypasta'd

Adamantoises and shit are too spread out for me, with how slow it's taking me to get 3TP back it's really not worth making money off them atm. I have 3 traps now at least but no money to upgrade lol. Might try the one in Eden or just use one of the other money strats.

Mission 24 is looking decent. Run around in a circle for an hour while watching tv, easy 700k.

w/ crystal stage 9 u could kill the Adamantortoise's?

**Boyiee** · 2010-03-23 12:19

Yes. Vanille leader, summon eidolon asap, spam death. Think 1300+ magic is needed. I use Malboro wand as well, which will soon be a nirvana (have 3 traps think I'll upgrade that first to make deaths land more).

**Katlan** · 2010-03-23 12:27

how important is marlboro wand for landing death? I used my only uranitite (sp) on Fangs upgrade, and i am cheap and would prefer to wait until ch 13 when I can go back and get more from missions instead of spending 35k from the store. But i also want to do mission 55 (for growth egg) before i leave for Eden

**Boyiee** · 2010-03-23 12:38

I don't know how important it is, death has like a 1% chance to instant KO, most of the time it just does some damage. With malboro wand maxed and well over 1600magic I still only get death to KO maybe once every 3fights before the turtle stands up to one shot me and I'm forced to retry.

I waited till chapter 13 to start farming turtles. You get soooooooo much CP from farming and doing a few missions that there really is no need for growth egg. All of my chars have their 3main roles maxed with me spending CP into other roles whenever it hits 999,999.

**Null** · 2010-03-23 16:35

Do you need the genji gloves for that to work or just with the wand? I have her marbloro and well over 2000 magic and I haven't gotten it to land once in over 30 fights.

Edit: NVM, lmao fuck that. Turned on the game, hit death once and it died.
