Final Fantasy 13 Guide


This is another one of my most recent purchases along with God of War 3. Anyway, I will just cut to the chase. My most frustrating experience with FF13 is the difficulty in finding item and weapon guides. As for most of the other stuff, they can be easily Googled. So in this article I'll just copy and paste the info I got. Credit goes to the respective authors.

>==INTRODUCTION==========================================================[#1.0]

Welcome! This is a comprehensive guide to all of the accessories and weapons in
Final Fantasy XIII. Here you will find the max levels of all these items, the
catalysts used to transform them, and the bonuses that you will get when using
them.

Feel free to e-mail me with any comments or suggestions, just make sure to put
"FFXIII Guide..." in the subject (or something to that effect). If you want to
be credited for any suggestions, fixes, ect, make sure that you include your
username in the email as a signature. If there is no signature line, I will not

**NOTE: This upgrade guide can also be used as a checklist for obtaining the
"Treasure Hunter" Trophy/Acheivement.



>==ACCESSORIES===========================================================[#2.0]

refrain from selling any accessories (other than duplicates) so that
you don't miss out on any item's upgrades at a later date.

===BEST EQUIPMENT=======================================================[#3.g]

I've had a lot of emails recently asking about the best equipment for each
character. Below is a list of what I used during the end-game material, but
keep in mind that there is no cut and dry way to equip characters and have
them perfect every time. That being said, here we go:

WEAPONS:

Lightning: Lionheart (for Commando)
Axis Blade (for Ravager)

Sazh: Vega 42s (multiple roles)
Rigels (for Commando)

Snow: Paladin (he's best as a Sentinel anyway)

Hope: Hawkeye

Vanille: Healer's Staff (for Medic)
Belladonna Wand (for Saboteur)

Fang: Taming Spear

ACCESSORIES:

These are the accessories that I felt best suited my main party. My main
party was made up of Lightning as Ravager/Healer/Commando, Fang as
Sentinel/Saboteur/Commando, and Hope as Healer/Ravager/Synergyst. I would
swap other characters in every now and then if I needed their special
abilities (Vanille's Death comes to mind). Anyway, here's my main party's
accessory set-up:

Lightning: Kaiser Knuckles
Magistral Crest
Sprint Shoes
Supper Ribbon

Fang: Kaiser Knuckles
Kaiser Knuckles
Sprint Shoes
Supper Ribbon

Hope: Wurtzite Bangle
Magistral Crest
Sprint Shoes
Supper Ribbon

Those Supper Ribbons are also your swap spot. If you're farming for items
and CP, you can swap those out for Catalogs and Growth Egg. If you're
farming 5-star ratings, equip the Gold Watch on someone.

Also, if you're Equipping Lightning with the Axis Blade or it's second
tier, Enkindler, be aware that these weapons are part of the Synthesis
group called "Boost" (not the third tier of the weapon however). The other
items in the Boost catagory are:
- Hermes Sandals
- Sprint Shoes
- Whistlewind Scarf
- Aurora Scarf
- Nimbletoe Boot
If you equip these accessories rather than the ones lsited above, you will
get a synthesized ability that raises the speed of the ATB gauge:
- 2 items - ATB Rate +10%
- 3 items - ATB Rate +15%
- 4 items - ATB Rate +20%
- 5 items - ATB Rate +30%
When you add the ATB speed increase with Auto-Haste and the innate ability
of the Axis Blade, Lightning will be able to drive up the chain gauge
with ease.


===SPECIAL PROPERTIES EXPLAINED=========================================[#3.h]

***NOTE: All of the game's special properties (found on weapons) are explained
below. First you'll see the property name, then the game's
description (in quotes), then my comments below that.

***NOTE: Note that the second name given on any property simply means that the
proprty is increased with that rank. Rank two of all applicable
proprties are found on Tier II and Tier III weapons.


Attack: ATB Charge/Attack: ATB Charge II
"Slightly recharges ATB gauge each time an enemy is attacked"
Great for speeding up a character's ATB rate, especially effective
if combined with Haste and the Boost synthesis bonus.

Improved Raise/Improved Raise II
"Slightly boosts HP restored to allies by Raise"
Nice for healers, but looses effectiveness further into the game
since you won'tbe dying as much (and when you probably won't have
chance to caste Raise then anyway).

Leadenstrike/Ironstrike
"Greatly reduces ATB gauge recharge rate."
This is a negative effect, slowing down the ATB gauge. Can be offset
with Haste and other bonuses.

Stagger Lock
"Prevents staggering of enemies"
Not as bad as it sounds, since other characters can still stagger
the enemy and the character can still raise the chain gauge.

Quick Stagger
"Allows instant staggering of enemies near their stagger threshold."
Allows characters to stagger enemies quicker than usual.

Augment Maintenance/Augment Maintenance II
"Slightly extends the duration of offensive buffs."
Great for Synergysts.

Paper Tiger/Silk Tiger
"Greatly reduces maximum HP."
Horrible bonus... though it can be offset with HP boosting
accessories.

Chain Bonus Boost/Chain Bonus Boost II
"Slightly boosts the chain bonus gained by attacking an enemy."
Good ability for Ravagers.

Stagger Maintenance/Stagger Maintenance II
"Slightly extends the duration for which enemies remain staggered."
Increased stagger time is always a good thing. If you have no other
options for a weapon, use it, but there are generally better
options.

Critical: Shield/Critical: Shield II
"Slightly boosts physical and magic resistance when HP is critical."
An ok bonus, but its generally not the best idea to leave your
characters in critical condition.

Siphon Boost/Siphon Boost II
"Slightly boosts ATB gauge recovery from Siphon abilities."
Good for Ravagers.

Defense Maintenance/Defense Maintenance II
"Slightly extends the duration of defensive buffs."
Good for Synergysts.

Stifled Magic/Fettered Magic
"Greatly reduces magic damage dealt to enemies."
Very bad for magic users, but ok for commandos.

Improved Guard/Improved Guard II
"Slightly enhances the effectiveness of Mediguard and Steelguard."
Good for Sentinals.

Critical: Power Surge/Critical: Power Shield II
"Slightly boosts Strength and Magic when HP is critical."
An ok bonus, but its generally not the best idea to leave your
characters in critical condition.

Enfeeblement/Hindrance
"Greatly reduces physical damage dealt to enemies."
Same as Stifled Magic, but lowers physical attacks instead.

Improved Ward/Improved Ward II
"Slightly enhances the effectiveness of Deathward and Fringeward."
Good for Sentinals.

Stagger: TP Charge/Stagger: TP Charge II
"Slightly restores party TP each time an enemy is staggered"
Good if you're using summons or trying to fill out your data log
with Libra.

Improved Debilitation/Improved Debilitation II
"Slightly boosts the success rate of debilitation abilities"
Good for Saboteurs.

Improved Counter/Improved Counter II
"Slightly boosts the effectiveness of counterattack abilities"
Good for Sentinals.

Improved Cure/Improved Cure II
"Slightly enhances the restorative effects of Cure spells."
Good for healers.

Ally Ko: Power Surge/Ally KO: Power Surge II
"Slightly boosts Strength and Magic each time an ally is KO'd."
An ok ability, but just like the critical properties, you don't
want to spend all your time with dead allies.

Improved Debuffing/Improved Debuffing II
"Boosts the success rate of debuffing abilities."
Good for Saboteurs.


>==TIPS & TRICKS=========================================================[#4.0]

Below you will find some tips and tricks to make gathering all the dirrerent
catalysts easier, and even a way to make some money in the process.

Scarletite - The Motherlode - 100,000 gil
- Adamanchelid (Archlytte Steppes)-1%
- Sacrifice (Eden/Orphan's Cradle)- 5%
- Mission 50 - Road to Predation

Adamantite - R&D Depot - 220,000 gil

Dark Matter - R&D Depot - 840,000 gil
- Shaolong Gui (Archlytte Steppes)-5%

Trapezohedron - R&D Depot -2,000,000 gil
- Adamantortoise (Archlytte Steppes)-1%
- Adamantoise (Archlytte Steppes)-1%
- Long Gui (Archlytte Steppes)-5%
- See "Gathering Trapezohedron" section below


===GATHERING TRAPEZOHEDRON==============================================[#4.b]

As you can tell by simply looking through the weapon list, you will need at
least 6 Trapezohedron to create 1 tier three weapon for each character
(1 Trapezohedron is required for each Tier 3 weapon). If you were to buy
these, you would be spending 12,000,000 gil. Considering the cost of
materials needed to upgrade weapons and accessories, the extra 12 million
is not a welcome sight. Here's how to bypass that cost:

The best time to do this is during post game. All you need is Vanille's Death
ability (available in the level nine crystarium). With this, you can easily
kill those huge Adamantoise creatures wandering around Gran Pulse. There is
also one in Leviathon Plaza in Eden. This is personally the best place to
farm, as there is a save point in the plaza next to the Adamantoise.

Now, to make this go as quickly as possible, give Vanille the Marlboro Wand
(Tier 2 of the Belladona Wand). Also, give her anything to boost her speed
(Hermes Sandals, Sprint Shoes, Whistlewind Scarf, Aurora Scarf, Nimbletoe
Boots).

Set up you party with Vanille as your lead, then a Sentinal and Medic. Your
Paradigm deck will be Attrition (SAB + SEN + MED).

Now, as soon as you enter battle with the Adamantoise, begin casting Death
with Vanille. This has a low probability of working, but keep at it. When the
creature dies, you will receive 40,000 CP, and you'll have a chance at
getting a Platinum Ingot (sells for 150,000 gil, 5% drop rate), or a
Trapezohedron (1% drop rate).

**Note that the Adamantoise are also a great way to farm money, and if you
come back after obtaining the Growth Egg you will gain a decent ammount of
CP from the fights as well.


===TRIPLICATING TRAPEZOHEDRON===========================================[#4.c]

Once you have one Trapezohedron, you can turn that one into three.

To do this, pick up a Mistilteinn, one of Vanille's weapons, buyable from
Plautus's Workshop for 11,000 gil. Along with this, you will need the
following materials:

159 Sturdy Bone \
89 Superconductor \ Total gil:
2 Particle Accelerator / 1,507,400 gil
28 Ultracompact Reactor /

1 Scarletite - (bought for 100,000 gil from "The Motherlode", or farmed
from enemies. See "Obtaining Catalysts" section.)
1 Trapezohedron


Now, use the following items to upgrade the Mistilteinn in this exact
order (for best cost effectiveness)

36 x Sturdy Bone
50 x Superconductor

1 x Scarletite

36 x Sturdy Bone
2 x Ultracompact Reactor
15 x Sturdy Bone
27 x Superconductor

1 x Trapezohedron

36 x Sturdy Bone
26 x Ultracompact Reactor
36 x Sturdy Bone
2 x Particle Accelerator
12 x Superconductor


The weapon should now be a maxed out Nirvana. Once you dismantle this, you
will receive:

71 x Monstrous Fang
60 x Entrancing Tail
36 x Moonblossom Seed
10 x Tear of Woe
3 x Trapezohedron


==="TREASURE HUNTER" TROPHY=============================================[#4.d]

After you have obtained every item in the lists above (exluding the multiple
tier 3 weapons, as noted at the beginning of the weapon section), you must
return to Bhakti in Oerba to claim the trophy. If you have not repaired the
robot yet, you must do so in order to speak with him. Once fixed, he will
give you the "Treasure Hunter" trophy and "Pulsian Pioneer" trophy, assuming
that you meet the conditions for both.
