The best Organic Materials are: Sturdy Bone, Barbed Tail, Vibrant Ooze. Vanille has very high magic, low strength and HP, and no access to "strike" Ravager abilities, so, like Hope, you'll want a weapon with a high magic stat rather than strength. I'll be telling you exactly what items you need to use to upgrade your items, so this is just a premise in case you will wonder why sometimes we are not going to apply the 3x EXP Bonus, but a smaller bonus instead. However they also take a vastly higher amount of exp to level. (*) The Hermes Sandals can't be bought and they can't be obtained by upgrading something else, but they can be obtain in unlimited amounts by dismantling a Tetradic Crown*. There are missable items that can permanently void you the opportunity of unlocking Treasure Hunter due to their limited stock in the Post-Ending game world. For Light its her Axis Blade and upgrades, cause of the ATB Charge property. In the post-ending game you are able to farm some of the most expensive Catalysts from enemies. Fangs Ultimate weapon is the Kains Lance. Her weapon, Apocalypse, slows ATB recovery. I'll also add the name of the shop in parenthesis. This is odd for many reasons, including the fact that it can fly almost as if by remote control, hit things and keep flying, and not fold up despite the hinge. Each of Lightnings Tier 1 weapons has a unique strength and weakness, but you can see those in game. So there you have it; the list of the various catalysts youll need to upgrade every weapon in Final Fantasy 13. This guide sets out to give you instructions and item lists that you may find useful for upgrading every weapon in the game. Each weapon has three "tiers", and the name of each weapon will change from one tier to another. Once the maximum level (indicated with a as opposed to the item level appearing in the menu next to the item) has been reached, many are upgradable to another weapon or accessory altogether with catalyst minerals. This is why you will only see one set of EXP values for every weapon. The next step in the Final Fantasy 13 Weapon Upgrade guide is the EXP-giving components and the catalysts you'll need to evolve weapons. Drops from: PSICOM Reaver (The Palamecia) - 5%, Drops from: Sanctum Templar (Orphans Cradle) - 5%, Drops from: Havoc Skytank (Palumpolum) - 100%, Drops from: Adamanchelid (Archlytte Steppes) - 1%, Drops from: Sacrifice (Eden/Orphans Cradle) - 5%, Drops from: Shaolong Gui (Archlytte Steppes) - 5%, Drops from: Adamantortoise (Archlytte Steppes) - 1%, Drops from: Adamantoise (Archlytte Steppes) - 1%, Drops from: Long Gui (Archlytte Steppes) - 5%. Whether you classify her weapon as a spear, a three-section staff, or some other combination of the two, you may be interested in the image of it posted to the right. Therefore, try to always add the minimum EXP you need to reach max level with an item, because all the exceeding amounts will be wasted! For each character, while different weapons upgrade to the same model at the end of the upgrade path, the "ultimate model" retains properties of the base models. If you apply 36x Sturdy Bones and then 3x Ultracompact Reactors, the EXP bonus won't be reset to zero, and it will be enough to use only 22x Sturdy Bones to get the EXP Bonus back to 3x; then you can use the 34x Superconductors and reach the target EXP. I've also added the amount of Sturdy Bones you need to use to apply the bonuses; most of the times it's just the regular 36x, but it's occasionally different. For example, the Catalyst indicated in this Checklist for the "Flamberge" weapon for Lightning is the Perovskite (the one required to promote Blazefire Saber* to Flamberge), not the Trapezohedron (the one required to promote Flamberge* to Omega Weapon). The basic idea is simple: some items are Rank A and will receive a certain amount of EXP from materials, other items are Rank B, C, D, and will receive a different amount of EXP from the same materials. To upgrade a weapon to its intermediate form, you'll need to max its level, then find the appropriate catalyst. The "Catalyst Cost" column will be left blank for accessories that can be both bought and obtained via upgrade of other items (this, again, is because buying from a Shop is always cheaper than getting items via upgrade of their lower version). So what do you do now? Any given weapon can be upgraded to a star rank, meaning. Anyway, the max cost starting from all Tier-1 Lv 1 weapons to all Tier-2 minimum-level weapons & one Tier-3 minimum-level weapon for each character will be: - 339,280 Gil for Lightning- 294,100 Gil for Sazh- 364,160 Gil for Snow- 301,960 Gil for Hope- 291,880 Gil for Vanille- 336,400 Gil for Fang. This is a list of items with limited availability: - Gold Watch: only one can be obtained, as reward for Cie'th Mission # 64- Champion's Badge: can only be found in a treasure sphere (available to pick up in the Post-Ending game) of an area of Chapter 12. You don't want to waste experience on a weapon that will be maxed out in 100 XP. If you used 36x Sturdy Bones and then the 34x Superconductors first, the EXP Bonus would reset to zero and you'd need to use 36x Sturdy Bones (instead of just 22x) to get the 3x EXP Bonus back. Sazh has some interesting weapons, with some giving huge magic or strength stats at the cost of zero in the other stat. First of all, these are the items you need to buy from shops: - Organyx (Gilgamesh, Inc.)- Aldebarans (Gilgamesh, Inc.)- Sacrificial Circle (Gilgamesh, Inc.)- Malphas (Gilgamesh, Inc.)- Tigerclaw (Gilgamesh, Inc.)- Dragoon Lance (Gilgamesh, Inc.), - Titanium Bangle (B&W Outfitters)- Serenity Sachet (B&W Outfitters)- Nimbletoe Boots (Moogleworks). Catalysts are unique and mandatory, and you can't choose which ones you want to use to upgrade a certain item, so there is no "efficiency considerations" to make about them. In Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning has a variety of weapons in her arsenal, listed below. Except her spear can break into three sections, and has blades on both ends. Fang - Taming Pole Truth be told, you have to try really hard to make this achievement missable, because these items can be obtained from many different sources available even in the post-ending game. The Materials to upgrade these items will cost a total of 454,800 Gil. If you want the best use of components there are two ways to do it. For instance, the Hauteclaire weapon can be upgraded to Durandal first, and then further upgraded to Omega Weapon. Another copy can also be obtained by upgrading the Gold Watch- Survivalist Catalog: one is obtained as reward for Cie'th Mission # 15. Note that if you made the maxed-out Tier-2 weapons suggested in the Story Walkthrough pages you can detract from that sum: - 133,480 Gil for the Durandal*- 115,540 Gil for the Hyades Magnums*- 115,540 Gil for the Unsetting Sun*- 140,680 Gil for the Urubutsin*- 120,520 Gil for the Malboro Wand*- 128,920 Gil for the Venus Gospel*- 754,680 Gil for all of the above. In the case of the Tier-3 weapons, which can be acquired from different Tier-2 weapons (which have different costs of upgrade), the minimum cost (i.e. They are mandatory items required to "promote" an item to its superior grade (for instance to upgrade a weapon from Tier 2 to Tier 3)- "Premium" items: they can have any of the previous three icons. However they also take a vastly higher amount of exp to level. I've grouped "families" of accessories together with the background color of the table. If you got your Silver Bangle after upgrading an Iron Bangle, refer to the second row: your Silver Bangle needs only 780 EXP to reach max Level, since it already starts at Lv 4. This is why if you need to use two units of a certain Inorganic Material to add the desired EXP you should use both of them at once instead of one by one. Hope's weapons are mainly geared towards magical use, and that should be your deciding factor, as he can't learn any of the "strike" Ravager abilities even if you wanted to make that his primary role. Every Tier 2 weapon requires a Trapezohedron to evolve into Tier 3. Therefore upgrading an item to its superior version will usually give you a small disadvantage at first, but if you invest more resources into the new piece of equipment obtained after the upgrade you will eventually get a better item. On the contrary, the 63x Superconductors don't add a surplus of 30,000 unnecessary EXP, but their cost would be (63*840) 52,920 Gil, which is more than the cost of a single Ultracompact Reactor. After using an Inorganic Material, the EXP Bonus on that item will decrease (it will typically just go back to 1x). You can also obtain these accessories by dismantling the corresponding grade-3 elemental accessory (which you may obtain from a copy of the grade-2 elemental accessory, often received from quests available in the post-ending game). This walkthrough is the property of TrueAchievements.com. The second method means that the second 4 will have a 1.25x bonus to their small exp, the next 7 have a 1.5x, and so on. Skillful component use. By "at any time" I mean that you don't have to own all the possible weapons and accessories at the same time: if you had, say, an Iron Bangle back in Chapter 1, and then you sold it and never obtained another one again, you won't have to actually have an Iron Bangle in your inventory in the moment you unlock the achievement, because the game will always "remember" that at some point in the past you had this item with you. Therefore, all weapons, on all Tiers, can only have one starting level. There are many of each, but only a few are necessary for weapons. The starting EXP (and consequentially the starting Level) of an item created by upgrading its lower version with a Catalyst is fixed. Once there, the weapon can be transformed into the character's ultimate weapon. Discuss this walkthrough in its Walkthrough Thread.

For example under cobaltite below, it says you need three; thats in total, not for each weapon.

In other words, Superconductors and Ultracompact Reactors are still the two best Inorganic Materials, whether the item you're upgrading is Rank A or Rank K, or anything in-between. Special weapons cannot be found, and can only be purchased from special shops that must be unlocked; upgraded weapons are created with experience and catalysts; ultimate weapons are the highest level of upgrade; all ultimate .

You would think you give him boxing gloves or gauntlets of some kind, but no; all you do is change the emblem on his trenchcoat. Hopes Ultimate weapon is the Nue. For example, if you need to add 150,000 EXP on an item after applying the 3x EXP Bonus, it would be better to use a single Ultracompact Reactor, which would give (1*60,000*3) 180,000 EXP, rather than using 63x Superconductors (63*800*3 = 151,200 EXP). This walkthrough and any content included may not be reproduced without written permission. Once Apocalypse has been upgraded to Omega Weapon, it will grant the ATB +1 bonus and slow ATB recovery. For the purpose of Treasure Hunter, it's enough to obtain just one Tier-3 weapon for every character.

For instance, if an item required 70,000 EXP to reach max level, you would want to use an Ultracompact Reactor (+60,000 EXP) to fill as much EXP as possible with the most cost-effective material (the Ultracompact Reactor), and then fill up the remaining EXP with the next-best cost-effective material (the remaining 10,000 EXP with 13x Superconductors). However they also take a vastly higher amount of exp to level. The only missable "grade-2" elemental accessory (Icicle Ring) can be obtained by upgrading the corresponding grade-1 elemental accessory (Frost Ring), which in its turn can be obtained by dismantling the Ice Charm. Sometimes the items require so little EXP that instead of investing in a 3x EXP Bonus it will be cheaper to invest in a smaller bonus. It will tell you the weapon name and where to buy it, if you can. If you added them one by one, the first one would lower or reset the EXP Bonus, and the second one wouldn't benefit from the bonus anymore unless you re-applied it with more Organic Materials. Snows Tier 2 weapons are all much stronger than their Tier 1 counterparts, once you level them up a little. Although the stats are much lower, another good choice for a balanced weapon are the Antares Deluxes, which have the great Chain Bonus Boost property and belong to the Boost synthesis group, making it a fantastic weapon for Ravagers, while still proving decent magic for Synergists. Sazh is recommended as a support character, so if you plan on using him in a variety of ways (such as Synergist and Ravager), you're not going to want to limit yourself to one stat in particular.
