Thanks for the tips... but I already have all those cards you mentioned, and I dont use Curaga for my HP junction, I use Holy (drawn from a level 30+ Diablos).

Getting the Quistis card was cake walk and I got it before I got Diablos... infact It was in my deck before I even went to do the seed exam.

The trick is to play the gate keeper and harvest Abyss Worm cards so you can change them into and item which refines into 20 Tornado's, Snow Lions for Blizaga and 10 Ruby Dragons for the Red fang (or somthing like that) which refines into 20 flares, all of which can be done before you leave for the seed mission enableing you to kill the mech spider as many times as you like getting 50AP each time you do.
