Eh no lah. Can buy adamantite from R&D Depot. You get it after completing Mission 7 or 8 in Gran Pulse. So around chap 10/11 can get already.

But at chapter 10/11, quite hard to get that amount of money to buy.I think all the upgrade will take about 5-8 adamantite.Plat very long ago, cant remember the exact amount needed.

Upgrade only requires 1 adamantite from axis blade to enkindler. And Yes you can buy at R & D depot.

Been reading this forum and I'm damn impress with those who spend 70+ hours (or even 100+). I'm gonna go for my first platinum here as well but only doing 50+ hours so far and now deciding whether to move on to chapter 12 or go back to gran pulse and farm some more.

It's more than that.



you can refer post by Amras of Nargothrond in http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1357470/+1340

Just got my Chinese/English Jap voice version today. it seems the load time is a lot longer than the English version. Anyone else experiencing this too? Also sometimes the voice doesnt come out....

It's 1 adamantite per item. Not 10 adamantite to upgrade 1 item to the next level.

I'm just telling the total needed to get plat.
Owh okay I missed out barney's post.
Carry on.

i am now grinding for gils to ultimate weapon upgrade:
1. Killing adamantortoise at Mission 63
2. Using Fang (Lead), Light, Vanielle (with festisol shroud)
3. Just using bahamut to put the fella down on ground (dont use gestalt)
4. Keep on deburr: impel, deshell,deprotect, slow
5. then Rav,rav, rav till stagger 999.99% (when hitting max stagger, max damage)
6. then Com,com,rav
7. No need do the trapz triple trick, when u farming for gils & i am lucky to obtain total 3 trapz already (although initial i want to do the triple trapz trick)

for CP farming (after i finish mission 63)
1. best monster is shao long gui (120k CP each kill sometimes with dark matter rewards)
2. same team member as above (no need shroud)
3. set sen,sen,sen (as it will cast quake during 1st move)
4. then all buff each other (especially faith,bravery)
5. then debuff the monster with the slow, impel, deshell, deprotect (sab,rav,rav)
6. then rav,rav,rav to stagger till 999.99% stagger (or sab,rav,rav if it didnt get all the ailment we need)
7. then change to com,com,rav
8. whenever it casting quake or ultima, quick shift to senx3 mode, it will make the damage v minimal *this is the most important trick
9. then sab,med,med to stay alive
10. repeat action 5-7
11. normally twice stagger, it will go down
12. prepare foul liquid (cure the daze) & phoenix down

hope this helps....i never got the freeze effect for all game so far

if u still summon bahamut....just summon,then fang cast deprotrct,deshell & imperil,then immediately gestalt.switch syn/syn/symn for brave/enfire.go rav/rav/rav until 970 above then cerberus.much faster....just equip sprint shoes.no need haste rebuff.no need fortisol

Yeah agree. If you want to transform any weapon you just need to use the 1 unit of the right component. Of course need to max out weapon firstlah.

I think you no need to keep reactivate the Mission 63 to kill Adamantortoise to grind for gils, because walk too far. You can try hunting Adamantoise at Eden Hall, shorter walking distance to respawn the Adamantoise and on the way killing those sanctum guards can gain some Incentive Chips and Credit Chips for more gils.

Anyone going to get this?

i found gestalt is way too long to make the damage, ravx3 faster stagger the monster, com3x has some issue what i experience, for me com,com,rav will maintain the damage & also stagger simultaneously.

Using sprint shoes, yeah we got haste initially but it wont last long compare using shroud. this is my findings.

Added on June 11, 2010, 11:42 amthanks for the tips, reason of mission 63, it is guaranteed gold nuggest (60k gils), so how much we can make from the incentive chips/credit chips?
when we got the platinum ingot & sometimes trapz, (so no need to grind more gils to buy the component to upgrade the weapon then dismantle it for 3 trapz).

afaik, you don't need the extra RAV if the stagger is already at 999.99%.
COM with enfire will do more damage (with imperil of course). Probably you can take down shaolong gui in just 1 stagger.
Plus, I hate the constant ultima cast if he doesn't die within the 1st stagger.

Added on June 11, 2010, 11:58 amok got it. but when 999.99% the speed of stag atb going down fast.
I am not sure if my vanielle will do lots of damage when she is COM mode .
when shaolongui cast ultima/quake, just quick change to sen,sen,sen. will reduce the damage lots. No need cast the magic at all.

oic got it thanks

shao long gui is easy . i prefer fang/lightning/vanille
debuff until daze. and he cant attack. buff self. important is bravera, enfire and protectra.
i agree that RAV/RAV/RAV will make the stagger bar going down faster. but if you can kill it in 1st stagger. it wont be a problem.

if you do have a problem. then, use SAB/RAV/RAV.. it will make the stagger bar going up faster and going down slower.


for treasure hunter, what i did was, max 3 main weapon 1st (for main battle team). concentrate on synthesizing accessories. FYI, you will get around 1.7M for selling all accessories. so it's 11 plat ingot worth of gil. calculate how many gils are needed for all weapon. if you think it's enough. sell all accessory and buy what's needed. reload after getting trophy.

Most likely already plat after get this trophy, no need reload
