Farming spots

All right. Is there a certain strat? Thanks.

SAB (vanille) SAB (fang) SYN (hope). Fight big turtle (ones with horns), wait for Hope to cast haste on vanille, as soon as he does, summon Hecaton. Press select to skip the animation, leave the avatar out, meleeing on the turtle. Go to your ability menu, select death, and spam it over and over again. When avatar disappears wait for Hope to get faith cast on vanille, and de-faith on the turtle, switch to SAB/RAV/RAV, this will drive the chain gauge way up, and I've had a MUCH higher success rate with this trick while the mob is staggered fwiw. You basically have until the turtle stands back up again and then you will most likely die (unless you are maxed or beefed up), so just retry is this happens. May take a few re-try's till it lands, but trust me you will get it. Don't bother if you don't have the growth egg yet, because if you can kill Ada's with this, you can get the growth egg.

For shits and giggles i kept trying one long after he stood up, and took me 23:50 that's minutes before death landed. Most times I usually retry after he gets a stomp or 2 off, because as I said I have my best luck while it is staggered.

edit: once you get a few levels under your belt, you can go sab/sen/med once he stands up and basically stay alive forever, but at this point, you can also probably kill them the "intended" way. Best time to restart IMO is when he readies his first TP move because that's when haste will be wearing off, the mob unstaggered, and basically its just a good time to restart.

I always found the Mecha/Bombs in the mines are some of the best cp/hour....

There is also the Sazh blitz method for Adamantoise. Found this while browsing GameFaqs. Been doing this way for a while and it's been working really well. This strategy uses summon though so it's not one of the more normal methods of killing Adamantoise.

He also made a separate thread detailing how soon you can do this.

are the shaolong gui's stupidly hard or is just me? I can kill the Long Gui easily tho <.<

**Tyrath** · 2010-03-30 01:41

When do the Long Guis and Shalongs appear?

**Militant** · 2010-03-30 02:33

After completing the C'ieth stones that are aligned closely in a circle in Archylte.

At any rate, I'm done, 114 hours. 33/35 Achievements, not bothering with 5 staring everything, or treasure hunter. Hmph.

Pussy.

Grats tho :D I am still 60~ hrs into it and spending more time farming then deciding to go fight the last boss

**Null** · 2010-03-30 04:05

I did the same and when I finally got around to fighting the last boss I realized I forgot what the hell was going on story-wise. Actually had to go back and read quite a bit. I'd actually recommend beating and then farming just because of that.

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

Quoting this from way back.

I upgraded to a pair of Sprint shoes, but had to buy the Pervoskite and now I'm broke. I assume that getting a pervoskite from dismantling is random?

For farming the roaming Adamantoise in GP. Do you have to zone to respawn it, or can you just run far away and then come back.. I'm on ch13 and too lazy to run all through Eden just to reach the Adamantoise there, so wondering if i can kill the one in GP > go to Behe/Megisaurus(sp) and kill that a few times for TP > then go back and kill a respawned adamantoise

**Militant** · 2010-03-30 10:59

Nope, gotta zone. Seriously, go to eden, its faster once you get there, and i felt the drop rate was noticibly higher there. Eden is a shot run once you zone back. Doesn't take long at all. Waypoint c'ieth stone > Warp point > Orphan's Cradle> Eden (2 min walk) and you're there.

**Tyrath** · 2010-03-30 11:49

So I'm at endgame now, was wondering if there was anything better than platinum ingots in terms of money farming? I don't need adamantoises anymore because I already have my desired number of traps.

**Deigo** · 2010-03-30 12:51

Not sure if this has been said & I'm too lazy to sift through 20 pages but...

In orphans Cradle just before the fight with the Tiamat Eliminator there is a single mob fight "Wladislaus". With growth egg he nets 64k cp. Fairly quick kill too.

Setup:
Light(med)-Fang(sab)-Sazh(syn)

If you have not already from the previous fight with this mob use libra/scope and wait until Sazh enthunders everyone and fang sticks deprotect. Then Para to cerb (com-com-com) and cut him down. Battle takes me just over a min. Then run back to the warp and jump in/out of the previous map and back to Wladislaus with no mobs in your way. Very fast cp grind

edit:
just so things are clear you do not need to run up the switchbacks when you warp in/out (theres 2 groups of mobs there) instead run to the corner of the bottom floor opposite of the ramp and take the platform elevator right up to Wladislaus.

Anyone knows if drop+ accessories stack?

Good thing you didn't spend forever leveling before hand.
