@Carl and lestatdark

Thanks for your tips. I think that's what I needed to know. I knew that there were exp multipliers like those Fang items and I only got up to x2 but didn't know that there was a x3. And I've also got a lot of Barb Tails and Vibrant Oozes after battling so many moths and Flans.

I don't have much gil yet. I've got around 20,000 gil and I I rarely spent it on anything other than potions and Phoenix Downs because of some of the tough monsters at Gran Pulse.

Also one more thing, how hard is it up to Mission 12? I'm only up to Mission 3...

Most missions are very easy, but mission 5, 7 and 9 are probably going to be the toughest, 7 and 9 more so if you're not using a party with a Synergetic, like me. Always use libra twice to learn about the marks weaknesses, most of them can change the entire outcome of the battles.

Will A Saboteur help?

Yes, mainly because most marks are susceptible to Slow or Imperil. But mark 9 definetily needs a SYN to cast Protect on your party, unless you have over 4K HP like I did :P

Righto then looks like I'll have to use Lightning Fang and Hope for Mission 9. Thanks for the tip once again. Really appreciate it

You're welcome ;) I've just found my backup SYN, Lightning has Bravery and Faith as basic SYN when you go up her tree, that's good enough for me now :P

Carl what are some good items to lv up weapons? I wanna continue upgrading Lightning's Gladius but I'm slowly running out of good resources. I'm at Gran Pulse grinding and doing missions so which monster drop good stuff?

If you have access to mission 12, redo it over and over again. The second reward is a Bomb Core x5, which gives 551 exp a piece. 

 

Mission 7 is much better, it is the same reward only the mark is only a 5 second run from the mission stone, literally.  I just did mission 12 and its a 3 minute run to the other side of the map from the stone.  Mission 7 also has  chance to reward a Tiara.

 

 

Can anyone tell me the requirements I need meet to do mission 64, the one with the double CP bonus item I believe.

 

 

Also, why is Hopes health so crap?  I thought it was low because I never put CP into him since start of mission 9, but I just dumped it all into his skills and his health is still low.

Thanks, didn't bother to check that one since I had a tough time when I first did it. Probably now with my party it's a breeze, and it's a much faster farming method as you said.

78 Hours 38 Minutes and 21 seconds. But about 10 hours is also in retry and farming. So add that in too.

Thanks for the tip! I'll just grind both places. Also coudl you explain what Tiara is?

 

And congrats Wagram!!
