I always make sure to get the Tournesol. It's very time consuming to acquire all of the loot, but well worth the effort! Before I knew better, I actually made the mistake of collecting enough loot to create two Tournesols. Now, that was a waste! I wish someone would have told me that you could only buy one Tournesol from the Bazaar. Lol! (Yeah, I have no life and have put myself through far beyond what the average person is willing to go through in this game.) Lol!

My advice for anyone, is to become familiar with which rare game drops any of the ingrediants you need, then steal, steal, and steal some more with thief's cuffs. Make sure you do not kill them off, until you have enough of the needed loot that those particular foe's drop. Move over two screens, come back, rinse and repeat! (I made a terrible mistake of killing off all of the rare game without collecting, my first time through and had to earn everything the hard way by chaining. Trust me, you don't want to go through that!) Granted you will still have to chain to get some of the loot, but it's best to keep that to a minimum.

Also, before you sell off your ingredients to the Bazaar, make sure you have collected what you need to get the 2nd Masamune. You can overlap ingredients. Sell things very carefully to make your loot go further!
