Yeah, I'm currently abusing card mod and the refining techniques. Just been battering the guy who squats at Docks for Armadodos/T-Rexaurs for Quakes then Ma Dinct for Gespar and Cockatrices.

By then I should have enough money for a pile of tents to refine tonnes of Curaga.

I may do a more standard playthrough where I level up somewhat. I'll be playing FFIX before then.
