I'm mostly trying to do missions so I can find one that drops decent loot. If I had Vanille's death spell I could hunt the giant Adamantoises and get their drops but I have a feeling that won't happen anytime soon.

I'm just a bit disappointed cause I have barely used the Weapon system and have made it this far. I think the concept was neat but the execution is definetly lacking since you really do need either gil or enemies to start dropping more than 2 or 3 of their loot items per battle.

If I had know cash would be this hard to get, I would have stayed in Chapter 9 longer and farm the hell out of the soldiers til I maxed out gil or something.

Editga: I haven't sold any of my catalyst items (read the description and figured it would be safer to keep them), in fact I still have about 1 of every loot formed. Thanks for the tip on the Bomb Cores though. Now I just need an easy way to farm Barbed Tails or one of the other low tier loot that raises the XP Bonus.
