If you are not at Chapter 11 or beyond chapter 11, don't bother to upgrade weapons to star. There were people finished the story without upgraded weapons.

You may refer this website to know the multiplier value of your component.
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/List_of...y_XIII_Upgrades

Every time you upgrade weapon, first upgrade it to have multiplier x3 by using Organic Components, then use the best Electronic Components to 1 time upgrade to star, of course this might need some calculation, else you can refer to the general upgrade guide at page 1. Remember save it before you upgrade, you can try with the best combination to save your resources.

I just use Ravanger + Ravanger hit him.
Then change Medic + Medic heals when hp low.
After a while, the bar filled up, then press square to claim victory.
That's all. Pretty simple. 
Oh ya, wear the spark ring as well (lightning resist 20%).

The 3 and 4 sacrifices near the teleports are pretty good for gils if you can't do tortoise yet. Kill them and run to either wings just below the sacrifices and they'll respawn.

And for the missions, look here

Yellow colored ones are meant for you to jump with a chocobo. Without it, you can't do it.

Is it just me, or I find it very annoying to get to Faultwarrens only through a Chocobo? Like I can't walk through it or something.

Damn I hate the Tonberry Trio.

Wow...How do i get a chocobo then Only after end of game?

I don't really remember it anymore, but first things first you'd need to beat Chapter 12 to unlock the oasis with Chocobo's in it (So that they begin to roam around Gran Pulse). After that, you need to keep searching for marks to beat ( that should lead you to defeating Sahagins at the Oasis) and the cutscene should roll out.

Sorry I forgot what mission number it was though. huhu.

you can only get chocobos by completing a mission in the plains that will unlock the chocobo sanctuary. the mark in that mission is hard to beat unless you have leveled up your weapons and your characters, because it is one very big monster, dood.

Thanks. Is the monster the BIG vocanic type monster roaming around GranPulse? Cause i tried to find him but cant seem to have access. Guess i need to max out my weapons and crystarium first then. Dont feel wanna end the game too early

Just finish the story first, then you will find it interesting when you trying to 5 stars all the mission. Those missions much more harder and challenging compare to the final boss.

Mission 7 at Yachas Massif - Paddraean Archaeopolis there, walk futher into that map, then you will found it, just nearby the mission 6 cie'th stone.

That big volcanic monster location can only be accessed by a chocobo, the entrance is nearby the 6 cie'th stone location.

You can ride on chocobo after you completed mission 14.

Wow..Thats good. In that case, i am gonna finish up the story then. Probably not long to go as well
