ParticipantI am a decent distance past Bhujerba, but right now I’m going to stop and try and fight a lot, both for the money and to try and complete entries in my Clan Primer. If you like, I can make a list of the completed bestiary info and Sky Pirate’s Den characters as I unlock them.
I have only fought four Marks so far though: Rotten Tomato, Themaxla (the Giant Wolf), Flowering Cactoid, and Wraith. I have a long list of Marks that I need to do now.

I guess I haven’t built up much, or I went in a different direction on the License Board.
If you truly branch off in unique directions, while paying attention to corners, you quickly fill in quickenings for your characters. I, on the other hand, have branched in unique directions only where necessary for equipment (and magic or combat abilities to a lesser degree) but most of my efforts have been focused on clearing out the character enhancement abilities (attack up, magic up, magic cost down, shield block up, HP up, etc.). My party is very very powerful in normal combat, but I presently suffer in the area of quickenings and the ability to create? mist links?
Note to self: read the manual to at least master the terms.

ParticipantIf you guys are having trouble with the Marks, just hold off on doing them for a while. At one point a guest joins you who has a Hi-Potion gambit, but they don’t use Hi-Potions from your stock so they never run out. Very helpful for some of the tougher Marks.
Right now my Rank is Vanguard, need 10 Marks for the next one. I probably need to train a bit first though.

KeymasterYa I dont think Ill be able to get those mist links for a while at least. Ill live, sounds like they can do some ridiculous damage though.
Are you supposed to be able to beat those Bangaas while youre running out of the lhusu mine? They pummeled me pretty bad but I figured since the Cluckatrice did also, that maybe others found a way to beat them with Mist links…

KeymasterAlso I just had a hell of a time trying to defeat Nidhogg. That thing destroyed me with physical attacks towards the end…
So I get through that Dreadnought Leviathan place and my cat sits on the power strip switch. Then I go through again and the Assassin’s Dagger isn’t there! Worse yet it’s replaced by 329 Gil…this makes me wonder, are all treasures random? I still got the Ancient Sword both times…

ParticipantI’m pretty sure that all treasures are random, except for gambits and certain swords. I could be wrong on those too though.
I didn’t find Ba’Gamnon and co., I just followed Lamont out of the mines. You probably need high levels or skill with Mist chains to beat them.

ParticipantWait ?till you fight the Admantoise (or whatever it is called).

Yeah, the treasures are random. They have a high percentage chance of being gold, a potion, or something equally generic. They have a rare chance of being something cooler generic or simply cool (and can, on occasion, be very powerful for your part of the game). Also, some only appear rarely, others only once, and many all the time.

KeymasterI just signed up for the Rocktoise now….it looked scary, but it was either that or the Wyvern.
Okay actually it just killed all of my characters in one hit. I must be severly underdeveloped I’m thinking. Maybe the Wyvern Lord is easier?

You can?t kill the Wyvern Lord until you progress in the story. I am just before fighting it myself, so I don?t know how powerful it is. Given the Adamantoise is a Class I monster, and the Wyvern Lord is a Class II monster, the Wyvern Lord may be meaner.
I got smacked around badly when I first fought the Adamantoise, and it was after that battle that I really organized a strategy for my party. I beat the next area to get six total characters, divided them into two groups of three, and defined roles for each of them in that group. Next, I picked a character for each group to be my smashy-smashy fighter, and set up gambits to make sure they are basically always in Berserk status. In addition, I set up gambits in both parties to make sure Protect and Shell are always active.
I went back and I was able to kill him off with the help of some high potions.
The challenge is that shell-spin attack that does 300+ damage to everyone near him. Also, at two points, he used it over five times in a row on me. One of my two groups features both of my ranged attack characters and Badrig (hope I got the name right) doing the heavy hitting. I try to keep both ranged attack characters out of range from that attack so they can support Badrig properly with healing and magic.

KeymasterWell, I’ve definitely had a hard time defining my party. The Berserk spell is around? I’ve kind of been waiting for the Haste spell to come around..

I don?t have Haste yet. But Berserk becomes available as soon as you can walk or teleport back to Rabanastre. Similarly, you can return to your current area via teleportation or airship at that point as well.

KeymasterHmm, I just got Cura and Raise and was wondering why Berserk wasnt available. Im in the middle of the Ogir-Yensa Sandsea so I wont backtrack and get it now but i definitely need that when i get back

ParticipantHmm, I haven’t had as many problems with the Marks as you guys seem to be having, but I put them off for a bit instead of doing them right away so I managed to kill them easier.
Since I made it to my current rank, I am now fighting Mark III, IV, and V monsters for some reason. I tried to go back to the Waterway to find one of them but the monsters there are a lot harder now so I had to retreat. Maybe later.
Just for fun, at some point you should find a green Bangaa at the South Gate who you can talk to for a side quest. Nothing too difficult.

KeymasterWow we’re like number 5 or 6 under "FF12 Walkthrough" on google. This is also why we had 500 uniques yesterday instead of 100.
Just the beginning. Once this is concluded we should think about how we can become affiliates with ff12 "children of ivalice" or whatever and other powerful FF sites. For reference, look below.
That digg article on the lower part of page 1 ultimately links here too. So if I have like 10 more walkthrough files and all the necessary lists I think we could get millions of people to come here. Okay not really but it’ll take off more than it did with Suiko V despite competition from cheap people (not any actual content)

KeymasterOkay so I’m fighting the Wyvern Lord and I just got a bunch of Quickenings because I figured I’d give it a shot. What is this R2 Shuffle business? Either way the two Quickenings I had did next to nothing and I did them at the same time. Another hunt I have to wait for…
