    I need ore for some puzzle which invovles a dragon god blessing stones and I need ore. Where can I get more?

    Chocobo Hot & Cold might be an option. You can probably get some ore either from the mini-game itself or from some of the Chocographs. #18 (Ocean) will net you 27 pieces of Ore, I think.

    Eventually you get a spell for Eiko called Jewel which extracts ore from enemies. If you've got access to Daguerro (I never spell that right), you can just as easily go back to the Mist Continent. I suggest popping by the area outside Dali. The monsters there should have plenty of ore to steal.

    As for Chocobo Hot and Cold, go to the Chocobo Forest outside of the Dragon Gate of Lindblum. It's the rounded forest east of the marsh and across a bridge. The moogle there will explain the game to you. You get chocographs by playing Chocobo Hot and Cold, then you go out onto the world map and search for the locations pictured on the chocographs. You need to complete this lengthy sidequest to get a majority of the best weapons in the game.

    Finding some of the chocographs can be a pain in the ass if you don't know where to look (there's a few that are mostly just pictures of the ocean), so if you're not dead set on doing everything yourself, I suggest searching for a map of all the chocograph locations. You can find one easily on google.

    what Ouch said
    outside Dali is a very good place to steal ore and chocographs are well worth the time and effort overall, youll get good/ultimate weapons,armour,cards and travel to locations which you cant get to by airship.

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.

    I don't think the "puzzle" does anything but convert ore to aquamarine.

    Special thanks to dark_lord for the sig!

    Yeah, that's all it does. Ores can be useful if you're missing some gems and need some to Synth. I would suggest trying Eiko's Jewel skill. The chocographs can also be a good source, but make sure to use a guide. Some of the locations would be near impossible to locate without one.

    I knew there must've been a more obvious answer than mine. I completely forgot about Jewel.

    You can synth those Ores to make other gems (topaz, garnet, lapis lazuli, etc.) if you are missing some.

    If I remember correctly, collecting multiples of each stone will boost the power of their respective summon. I know for certain that Atomos's damage is based on how many stones you have (it takes a set percentage of the enemy's max HP based on the number of amethysts). I think it was amethysts anyway.

    Yes, I believe that's correct. Amethyst, as you said correctly, is the stone Atomos too.

    Dark Matter. You can buy one in the Treno Auction House on Disc 3. I think that's the only time you can get one.

    Dark Matter. You can buy it in the Auction House in Treno or steal it from Ozma. I think you can steal it from Ozma. I believe there's an ability that raises his strength (as there's only two dark matters in the game). Odin's Sword or something. I think Ancient Aroma teaches it. I'm pretty sure that's found somewhere in Ipsen's Castle.

    Edit: Beat me by seconds. I'm pretty sure you can still buy the Dark Matter on disc four, by the way.

    Edit 2: I checked up on Ozma and it seems you can get two dark matters off of him. You can steal one, and one is a guaranteed drop after winning.
