my guide says the malboro bribe is 675,000gil and thats random. One time in the name of experimentation, i bribed a malboro like 2,000,000 and i only got like 8 wings of discovery.

Back to the dark aeon thing, i checked and it does sa you get hp break, but i mean everytime i do kill ifrit i get the crap armour, or the weapon with break damage limit, and it will take even longer if i want a specific armour for a specific person?
