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.

This is true, i just checked and Mission 7 is like, right next to the place you get it. VERY good for farming Bomb Core's.

As for your Mission 64 thing... The "requirements" in the Guide say the following

"Defeat Barthandelus in Oerba and complete Missions 27 and 51", and you will be upset with the item you get. It's a Gold Watch. It basicly increases the time limit you have to finish every battle.

@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

 

I put my Syn away after he cast haste and nothing else, my party on average have about 3-3.5k HP only too...

My party's HP is 4.8K for Fang, 4.6K for Lightning and 4.4K for Vanille. I've exhausted pretty much everything in this part of the game and now finally moving forward XD.

Congrats Wargram on the platinum :)

Lol. I made that final boss my bitch in like 10 seconds.

Awesome, found a new grind spot.

BTW, you do not need the gold watch. I did every single mission in the game without it with relative ease aside from a short few.

The Behemoth King fighting the Megisthoterian right? I do that fight in :30 :P

I usually just farmed there, jumped between that fight and the lone Behemoth fight nearby. Easy 10.6K CP in two minutes.

Make sure you make a Morale Armband (it gives Auto-Bravery), it does wonders for your Commander. You'll need a Hero Armband * and a Perovskite. When Behemoth King is staggered at 999.99%, Fang does almost 50K damage per hit, 80K on Smite :P 

@wargram

I bet, i'm nowhere near as those insanely high Strength numbers you posted a few pages ago XD
