Don't skip the Thextera hunt!

[Renmiri]

It has a great reward: Your very first Monograph

The Monographs are special items in the bazaar, which make monsters drop rarer loot. Not gotten by selling different kinds of loot, they are aquired by fulfilling certain conditions.


Hunter's Monograph
Affects Beasts and Avions. To get it, complete the Thextera hunt, then speak to the merchant Gatsly. It costs 18,000 gil though so you may have to wait till Lhusu mines to get it

The others are priced around 18-22 thousand gil too:

Knight's Monograph

[No.78]

I beat Thextera the moment I got Penelo (the giant wolf right?) I don't think I got a "monograph".

No. 78:

You don't automatically get it. After you talk to Gatsly you can buy it in the bazaar. It's called grimoire something. I haven't bought it myself yet.

[Hazzard]

Oh yer, i just had a cutscene in Bazaar ( where Gatsly is) so at the store, i can get it now- but it cost a lot of money that i gotta raise!

You get it by talking to Gatsly at the Muthru bazzar after completing the hunt.Check the bazzar goods at any shop after that,
