Final Fantasy 13 Upgrading Tips:
——————————–
* Study Bones / Ooze / Tail are the three 80gil items which take 36 to equal a 3x multiplie So, 2880 gil gets you 3 If you’re a Gil pincher – save money and wait until you can upgrade an item to max level in one shot – save the investment to a one time shot at multiplie Furthermore, you won’t need to level up any weapons until you’re at a point you should be able to afford the expens
* If you would rather just play and level up – do that – don’t worry about the gil it costs you – just have fun and be happ
* While Fluids and Oils may give more EXP, they’re a waste since the inorganic items
are so much better – you are better offf getting to 3x as soon as possible, and then
switching to inorgani
* For farmable scenes (like chapter 11) – nothing beats the bomb part I had nearly
a two full stacks of bomb things from Marks and used them to level up most of the accessories required so I could unlock ’em all for the treasure hunter achievement/

Capped Weapon experience equation:
———————————-
This is an equation to understand how much experience you will need to spend to get any
weapon capped at its current leve
n = Increase your weapon will grow after every level obtai For example, at level 1 to 2
you need 1,000 experienc From level 2 to 3 you need 1,125 ex n = 1125 minus 1000, which in this case is 12 So n for this weapon would equal 12
x = The total number of levels you will need to cap (Star) your weapo For example, from 1 to 21 (Star) requires 20 levels (21-1=20
b = The base experience that your weapon ha For example, Axis Blade at level one needs
1,000 experience to reach level 1,000 is the base experienc
Note: b = current level exp to next leve not what it was at level If your weapon is
level 37 and has 10852 to level up that is the base ex The equation is as follows to
determine how much experience it will cost to cap your weapo
[n(x2+x)]/2+bx = Total experience to cap a weapo
For example: Axis Blade, Stats: n=125, x=20, b=1000
= [125(202+20)]/2+1000(20)
= 125(400+20)+20,000
= 125(420)+20,000
= 52,500+20,000
= 72,500 experience until Axis Blade (level 1) would cap ou
