Well thats all. 2nd time around in which I was much faster since I knew where everything was and knew what loot to keep to make items.
Getting 3 ribbons was hard. One is easy since its a 100% in the chest in Pharos, but Vishno was long. The king of them all was in Cerobi Steppe. 5hrs for 1 Ribbon.
Kinda dumb cause then I read about Lordly Robes is a 5.5% in the chest in Henne Mines with the DA and I got it on my first try.
All I have left is Yiazmat, and Final battle with Vayne Solidor. Yiazmat will complete my hunt catalogue in order to receive my Order of Ambrosia.
I put up whats mainly preferred from each player on my profile, but not necessarily used all the time. Windbreakers isn't mentioned yet come in handy vs Yiazmat. So will the Shell Sheild for his Death Strike.
This time I'll keep my saved game away from the girlfriend so she doesn't over-write on it. lol

I think my idol is Yiazmat.
His success rate on Death Strike versus Shell Sheild 90%. In fact it should be cut down to 50% but I guess I was unlucky.
As Yiazmat fell two things opened up. The last hunt on my list and Order of Ambrosia.
So now all I need is the Danjuro for Perfecter Game. Everything else is done. This Larva Eater is gettin on my nerves. Its hard to get a chain on him. He just won't spawn back. I made the Wyrmhero's blade. its a nice blade but damn slow. Good Evade though.
Anyways now that Yiaz is done, I think I shall make a cold sorc named Penelo (if the name is available) I have to give Penelo credit as she was the Last one Standing when Yiazmat came down. Yiazmat got a death strike on Basch just before Penelo put in the final hit. Fran and Balthier were always doing the suicide mission = getting rid of traps. Main party was Vaan, Basch and Ashe. Ashe took about 95% of the hits as I casted reverse on her with decoy making Basch and Vaan beating the heck out of Yiazmat.
Next up. the 122333 challenge. then i'll try the NLB. This outa be fun.

rofl never getting that sheeez

I think this game was made to play as a 122333. I think its a great game. Enjoyed it my first time as I pretty much did everything except not getting the Order of Ambrosia. Then I did the perfect game in which I still need the Danjuro and that game will be finished.
Now I'm on the 122333. So here's some help if anyone thought of doing this. After the 122333 I'll try the NLB (No Liscence Board)
122333 (no levelling up)
Since you know the story etc etc, I won't post whats to do. But some help maybe. Of course you get some exp when the game begins and you kill those rats. Make sure you steal everything. Even the Rogue Tomato cause you won't get much gil until you get yourself a firefly.
Make the sunstones and when you get Penelo, head of to steal those werewolves. Make sure you control Penelo as Vaan goes of like an idiot to steal the Werewolves. They have teleport stones and Quality Hides (384 gil)
Then head of to Garamsythe. I didn't follow any FAQ guides on the internet cause I found too many errors. One that I remember is the rare game Ripe Rampager. They say just kill the cactoid and he should spawn at 33% but it never happened to me. What I did was chain 30 wolves and then used break on cactoid to stone him and get him to spawn back within 5 seconds by moving away from the area (but remain in the same zone)
Garamsythe for the palace is next. Make sure you steal Ichthon for fish scale. You'll need this. Then blah blah thru Waterway again and Nalbina dungeons etc etc.
Finally story gets you in Barheim Passage.
Here steal the Flans for green liquid, and Specter for Dark Stones.
2x Fish Scales
1x Green Liquid
3x Dark Stones = Silent Shot & Capella Balthier = Owns Mimic Queen
*sell to the merchant in Barheim passage.

I'll post later on if anyone wants to know more stuff. I have killed the king bomb today and I'm now chaining Baknamy (2 in silkawood) for a diamond armour.
As soon as he drops me a diamond armour, I hope to have enough LP's to open the 500hp liscence so that Basch can dash into the Nichrols and get the Zodiac.
Oh for Fireflys (Stillshrine 55% chest spawn, 45% gil, 55% item which 50% firefly / 50% Knot of Rust). Get 1 and the others drop from Slavens in Mosophoran
Golden Amulets, Treasure chest in Osmone Plains (beside Henne Mines) I used a chocobo to respawn the chest and you don't lose the chocobo if you get off it in that section.
Tips:
1. Esper Belias is nice to have versus Tiamat in the Henne Mines.
2. Make yourself Arcturus Gun. 2500 damage on most hits. I had a 9899 damage on critical strike a few times.
Arcturus Gun
2x Wyvern Wing (steal off Wyvern Lord Hunt Scream from the Sky. Need to be Rear Guard
2x Yensa Fin (steal off Urutan-Yensa)
1x Salamand Halcyon (steal of Salamand Entite)

EDIT: Ya another thing from guids is that they say open quickenings but I didn't open any until today to beat the King Bomb. Guids say to use quickening on the Demon Wall but you can beat the 2nd one without quickening. Hence keep those precious LP's until that firefly.
EDIT2: someone asked me where is Aero and Dark mote. One is in Giza before leaving for Estersand after the bridge and Aero is in Eastersands, turn right first chest is echo herbs / potion and the 2nd further is Aero Mote / potion. Oh and entering eastersands if u turn left there is a chest with potion / ether.

in lvl 3 wit h 4k dmg is posible ?????

I never had 4k damage with a fomalhaut but I think its possible. Most I get with fomalhauts is 3.3 - 3.5k damage. But then again you can get 9999 with critical hit.
Fomalhauts are in that chest where Antlion Hunt is found (Lhusu Mines). Its a random chest with 50/50 chance of Knot of Rust (good to up the dark matter latter on) and Fomalhaut.

First limit break is Balance, then Zeromus, then Dark Matter 50 000 damage. SHemhazi like Dark Matter and finally Final Eclipse ZOdiark (must be petrified)

To answer your question again, since I was only at the beginning of Tchita Uplands and hadn't killed anything there yet,
You can get 4k damage on fomalhaut. I had often 3.9k and 4.4 - 4.5k damage with fomalhaut on Marlboro King and the Coeurls and those Serpents.
And just to mention as bonus, the earliest to get a Diamond Amrlet is in Tchita Uplands in Garden of Life's Circle. Its a 10% spawning chest with 50% gil 50% item - Hi- Ether / Diamond Armlet that is a 50/50 also.
Just go along the south border and best way to tell you where it is, run from the saving crystal to the bridge. Save your game before and if its not there, press restart and do it again. Until you get it.
Its good to have if your doing the 122333 or the NLB (no liscence board) in Draklor. There are 5 chests in Draklor and 4 of them have Balance Motes. Equipe the DA and you have Hastega or Holy Motes. Chests are spawning 70/100/70/100 %

moondust???? why use that hehe but hell gates flames... just kill 8 summons i think gives u 1 gemsteel then u only need 6. but moondust is the mu drop and poach. what is poach..???????? i cant figure it out hehe but just chain him more but why do you need atemis bow???? and level 3 with zodiac spear dmg 4k is easy

but for wyrmhero blade i think that it took 8 seconds with normal speed without any haste and then u gotta use maximillian?? not sure. try use haste cat eye and bezerk then its faster it might take like 1 or 2 sec

Ok well, first of all, having artemis Bow is for the perfect game. Its not a weapon I'll be using. And ya my perfect game has been done for 1 month now.
2ndly I was asking if anyone else other then Mu dropped it. And for Fury you better be extrememly lucky to get it, since you can't chain him.
Finally, it doesn't really matter if the wyrmhero blade is slow, it has excellent evade. You can practically walk in Great Crystal without being hit. And thats another blade you don't really use often since Masamune is much much better combined with either a battle harness, cat ear hood or genji gloves, combo of 5-10 hits most likely.
And I don't often play running around in beserk mode, unless i'm facing someone I'm having trouble to beat, which I don't remember who it might be other then Yiazmat. And even him was easy, its just a time consumer.
I can't wait to see how I pull him off in my no level up challenge.
And yes I use maximillians. I'm not a freak who will waste a whole weekend chaining Helvinek for 6 grand armours. 1 is enough.
And you marked down level 3 with a Zodiac Spear making 4k damage........................I'm impressed cause I would have to see that.
What I have so far in my 122333 (since I'm not done the game yet)
Basch - Platinum Armour +8 str, Giants Helmet +8 str
Best armour/helmet for str = Grand Armour +12 / Grand Helmet +12
Basch lv3 has 48 str. Given that this would be the best armour / helmet it would add to my total +8
So you're telling me from 48 str to 56 str that would make the zodiac spear add 3k damage? Cause he does 1k as of now on average, and you pointed out you can get 4k damage EASY!!!!!!
Once I get Grand Armour and Grand Helmet, under bezerk mode and 10 hp so he gets limit breaks I'll tell you if the 4k damage is achievable. Cause I seriously doubt it. But you said easy, so if this situation is attainable, I don't find this easy playing someone in beserk mode at 10 hp. 1 hit and he dies. So you'll have to rebuff him at 10 hp again.
And If I petrify him, then his defense would be insane, which I guess can become easy. But that I have to test out. Petrify with 4 remaining on the counter makes your defense go high.

EDIT: Poaching is when you bring an enemy down to critcal hp, he will flash reddish, you can use the technique called Poach. That will give you an item. It won't drop. It will say you have poached A winning a B item.
