Farming spots

If you use the Death trick, the fight is fairly easy. Babies attack quickly and relentlessly for a decent amount of damage unless you load up your SEN with -% Phys damage (where you can get it as low as 200-400 a hit). 5starring it is a joke with Death trick, not that easy without.

**Yuri-G** · 2010-04-23 14:57

I wish I had thought of using -% phys damage accessories. that would help a lot. as it was, I was quite literally healing Snow as fast as the babies could damage him until I finally killed one, at which point it calmed down a bit. but it was touch and go for a while.

I just beat the game and unlocked level 10. So what should I do now to farm CP my guys can't kill turtles. I done 27 of the missions all which i done before beating the game. Any recommendation on what to do now to get more CP?

**BarthelloSylph** · 2010-04-24 09:13

I prefer doing the Behemoth/Wild Crazy Dog fight at the zone between Archtyle Steppe and Muahabababababa. I got it down to 7 seconds, then walking away to get them to respawn took 10 seconds, then running back about the game. So I was netting 13200 CP every 25 seconds. But you'll need the Growth Egg for that, which comes from Hunt 54 or something.

Finally went for the Mark 55 Neochu fight tonight. Got lucky and Death proc on my fourth attempt. I went with Vanille/Hope/Snow with their main 3 disciplines maxed. Popped Fortisol and Aegisol to start. Equipped Snow with Solaris* and General's Belt* x4, Hope with Eagletalon*, Aurora Scarf, and random items to get ATB+20%, and Vanille with Malboro Wand*, Aurora Scarf, and random items to get ATB+20%. Spamed Death with SAB/MED/SEN and switch to RAV/RAV/SEN to finish things off. Snow was only getting hit for 40-80 by the Microchus until Screech took off Protect. Five star on first completion, too. Now to enjoy my Growth Egg. :D

Dude, the Growth Egg is so nice. Just got mine earlier and been doing the Titan's Path EXP Route, usually 200k in 20 minutes. Also, started farming Traps and made 400k easily with the Egg.

So I'm done farming Mission 7 over and over again. Whats the next thing I should farm? Is there anything I REALLY SHOULD do before moving to chp 12?
I have all lame weapons upgraded to max basically. Any weapon I should get? Any Gear I should get?

(Sorry, I could of just looked through the pages of this thread... I'm lazy.)

Just finished capping my crystarium today

In Mahabara there is a hallway just past the Juggernaut platform with 3 Cyclohedron at one end and 3 Rusty Flan / 1 Cyclohedron fighting at the other

Cerberus Paradign(Com, Com, Com): Snow, Light, Fang

Aurora Scarf is the only needed gear if you're high enough level

Preemptive Strikes slow down XP since the fights only take 2-4 seconds each.

3x Cyclohedron gives 7.1k with Egg
1x Cyclohedron / 3x Rusty Flan gives 11.2k with Egg

Each fight is respawned by the time you finish running to the other one.

What are you fighting, Adamans are Long Guis?

I knocked out my traps in about 20 or so Long Guis.

I was about 1/30 on Traps on Adamans.

I don't even bother with Plat Ingots, I farm in Eden, easier fights and constantly getting loot.

**Raen Ryong** · 2010-04-30 11:24

Don't worry; now I've complained, things are bound to start raining to make me look whiny. It always worked in FFXI!

Just farm Perfumes/Scarletite from the Ceith and female soilders in eden lol
I find it better money than just farming plat ingots, especially if you have that bad of a drop rate.
Perfume sells for 12.5k, scarletit for 7k
Teleporter>1Ceith>1Ceith> 2ceith+Bulbasaur(50%hp)> 2ceith>2ceith>3female+1male>4female+1male>Juggerna ut> go through door to respawn all enemies, then go through all the enemies backwards. (juggernaut wont respawn if you dont walk too far.
Perfume is rare drop from the females, incentive chip is normal. Ceith drop perfume and scarlitite, but not sure which is the rare.
100k is average for me on a complete circle, but it can be more. It also doesn't take too long to run through them all. rav/rav/rav -stagger-com/com/com the cieth, and just com/com/com the soldiers and that should kill them in 1-2 attack rounds.

**Raen Ryong** · 2010-04-30 11:35

That does sound really good. I haven't really been objectively farming turtles that much; just doing GP stuff while killing them every time I see them. 5 star'd all missions except 64, 62 and bloody Gigantuar - I'll definitely move on to Eden when I'm just looking for cash though, cheers

EDIT: 0/66 Trap 7/66 Ingot. Doesn't look like it is getting better!

**Ragnus** · 2010-05-01 10:15

Perfumes are common and Scarletite are rare on the Sacrifice Cie'ths.

For those rates you MUST be doing Adamantoises, not Long Gui's. And that's your problem.

**Raen Ryong** · 2010-05-01 12:43

0/79 Trap 10/79 Ingot and yeah

I dunno if I can kill the Long Guis comfortably yet. Sort of hesistant to spawn them all until I know I can kill them... how hard are they?

**Souj** · 2010-05-01 13:23

if you dont have any ultimate weapons I wouldn't try them. I'd wait till you get at least 2 fully upgraded weapons.

also: in case you didn't know, after you get one Trap, if you really have that bad a drop rate on Traps, you may want to consider maxing out the Belladonna staff to max. The fully upgraded ultimate weapon for that gives 3traps if you dismantle it.

There's a few other weapons that give 3 traps on dismantle as well, but i dont remember which those are.
Ive never done it, cause Ive never gone more than 10 fights without seeing a trap drop.

**Raen Ryong** · 2010-05-01 14:36

I hate you

And yeah, I might just end up doing that. I just hope my luck with Dark Matters etc when I move on to Shaolong Gui etc is better ...

**BarthelloSylph** · 2010-05-01 16:08

I wouldn't necessarily wait until you have 2 ultimate weapons. I killed them with only 1, and if you had three maxed 2nd stages for Vanille, Light, Fang, you could probably do it. The fights would take longer, but my drop rate for them was far far better.
