Leveling from initial to 100 with Up abilities equipped will give around an additional 85 point boost to 4 stats. This coupled with the best magic junctioned will give you an even higher advantage over enemies, and will make Omega Weapon much easier.Quote:

There are Ups for HP, Str, Vit, Mag, and Spr. Since you won't be able to reach max HP without HP Up, you should switch either Str or Mag with HP at about 80-85 (not sure where exactly, this is just a guess). Whether you switch Str or Mag depends on the character.Quote:

You should definitely equip 4 if you plan on using them. The easiest way to level up with them is to put Quistis in critical and spam Degenerator at the ICH.
I believe Cactuar can learn all 5 of them, and the other GFs can also learn them. So you can have 2 characters leveling up with Bonuses at the same time.
(Note: my bad, they're called Bonuses, not Ups. Ups are the items that increase your stats. Silly me.)
Get the Rosetta Stone from Esther, and make a GF learn it. Then you can have 4 abilities :DQuote:

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. Absolutely have Abilityx4 on each character.Quote:

Hmmm, and I'm guessing you need 100 Curse Spikes to be refined into the Dark Matter...? Is there an easier method of collecting C. Spikes?
EDIT - Where can I get Power Wrists?
I think you can buy them from an Esthar shop if you have all of Tonberry's shopping abilities n.nQuote:

Is Ultima Weapon frightfully strong, and can I flee from it once I draw Eden? (I don't want to of course, but just wondering)
Doomtrain's Process
D-District Prison
The ruby dragons before Bahamut
The monsters before Ulty Weapon
The Deling sewers
TOnberry MAssacre
Propagator Massacre
I guess that's about it.
--Aegis.
Remember that once you beat Ultima Weapon the fixed encounters will be gone. Make sure to get your supply of Dark Matter before you fight Ultima, or you will be forced to use alternative methods that are much slower. You can get another Rosetta Stone from one of the bosses in the final area in disc 4.Quote:

My characters bolstered 11 levels just from running through the DSRC, and I got a lot of valuable items. I can get Zell's ultimate weapon now, and have already got Selphie's and Squall's. I got 32 curse pains, 4 star fragments, 4 fury fragments and other items, nice stuff I'd say. So I'm gonna stay here till I'm level 100 I guess.
