Also, where can I get Trapezohedron without paying 200,000 gil for it?

Like Darth Said, you can get it from the Adamantoises and Adamantortoises.

Both have the same drop rate, about 1%, 5% if you 5/5 and 10% if you use a Conoisseur Catalog and 5/5.

The big difference is on the ease to kill one or the other. Adamantoises have 5M HP, while Adamantortoises have 3.4M HP.

Adamantoises are the large roaming ones, with shields and plates on their shells and long horns one the Steppe. The Adamantortoises are the static ones, with broken horns and no shields and plates on their shells.

 


Ah, lestat...good to see you giving help, I know you helped me through a couple problems on Demon's Souls.

I think I have the Conoisseur Catalog, but by 5/5 what are you referring to?  The skill levels?

5/5 is getting 5 stars in the end of the battle . Each time you get 5 stars at the end of any battle, it improves by x5  the chance for any of the normal and rare drops %.

 

Does equipping Conoisseur Catalog and Collector's Catalog increase the drop rate?

Ah, thanks.  I think I've been able to get 5 stars against the smaller ones.  They haven't given me much for drops yet, think I got gold dust once.  Haven't had the catalog equipped, though.

Well, the small ones don't give trapezahedrons, their normal drop is Gold Dust and their Rare drop is Scarletite, which at 5% is a bit of a waste, since the Sacrifices in Eden/Orphan's Cradle have a 20% normal drop rate. 

Only Adamantoises and Adamantortoises give you the Trapezahedron as a Rare drop, and a Platinum Ingot (10% drop rate) as a normal drop.

@Fab_GS

The Collector's Catalog doubles the normal drop rate and the Conoisseur Catalog doubles the Rare drop rate

You're welcome

@Darth

I'm still on the edge with FFXIV since it's online. If it convices me though, I might give it a chance.

I can't on mine, it has so many firewalls and blocks, it's ridiculous xD

At least if they offered an Offline mode, that would convice me to buy it in an instant.

i do hope FFXIV as some form of offline mode, and i hope they dont charge much for it each month either :/ still on the fence about it though, looks good... but do i want to play an online FF?

about FFXIII:
OH MY GOD it finally did it, it annoyed me and now im playing MiNi NiNjAS and then replaying Dark Cloud (from the PS2 LAUNCH!!!!) even though i only have 3 trophies left to get, L'Cie Paragon, Masters Seal and Treasure Hunter... Eden Adamantoise grinding was just annoying so will go back to it afterwards.
