Corrected, taBK/Dog is 13,200 by the way
Yes, I meant best CP is Behmoth and Dog, best Gil is Mission 24.

I have never even found a 7th tier, doesn't it go from the 6th tier to the top?
As for Gil, I have just calculated I need >16 million gil to max out 6 weapons, with 6k per 15 sec. that would take >11 hoursno way I have the patience to do the same mission for 11 hours
Not to mention the Dark Matters and other stones needed for accessory upgrading.
There is a way of turning 1 Trapezohedron into 3 according to gamefaqs guide. You need to fully upgrade one of Vanilles weapons (Mistilteinn) and then dismantle it. You supposedly get 3 Trapezohedrons and a bunch of Starblossom seeds. I haven't tried it myself yet as I don't have a spare 1.5m Gil

It does work, although I did it with a Kain's Lance (Fang's weapon).
Dismantling Kain's Lance got me 3 Traps which I used to upgrade 3 weapons.
I used the Connoisseur's catalog on Adamntortoise's to get 2 more Traps.
I dismantled one of my Genji Gloves (fully upgraded) to get 1 Trap.
You get 3 Gloves through the missions, so you can sacrifice one or two of those as very few scenarios/enemies need you to do over 999,999 damge per hit imo.
Edit: All this farming talk is making me want to pick up my game and start farming again, even though I got all weapons/accessories/roles completed!!

Good tips regarding traps, especially the one with a Genji Glove.
And the fact you are itching to go farming just for the fun creeps me out, lol
I have just loaded up and found the area you queried (Mah'habara - Dusktide Grotto, near the exit to Mah'habara).
3 Cryohedrons = 7140CP
then
3 Rust Puddings + 1 Cryohedron = 11200 CP
The whole process takes 70 seconds (including screens and running times), so 50ish battles per hour.
50 * 18340 = 917,000 CP per hour.
(This is using Rav/Rav/Rav, with Sprint shoes on, and Growth Egg)
Edit: Com/Com/Rav or Com/Com/Com knocks this down 60 seconds per run so 1,100,400 per hour.
Edit2: This is all done using maxed out Level 5 roles, and non upgraded Level 1 weapons.

It has to be upgraded to "Star" level, but I think it only has 1 level so is quite cheap. Without upgrade you get a "Tear of Woe" (I think), Upgraded you get a "Tear of Woe" and a "Trapezohedron".
Bear in mind you get exactly 3 Genji Gloves and they cannot be bought/dismantled from shops/items.

Thanks very much. Got the 3 gloves and have never used one of them so that one will be dismantled. I'll keep the other 2 as they may be useful.
I got the battle time down to ~10 seconds each and 15 seconds walking, this is with Light/Fanf/Hope in COM/COM/RAV with level 8 Crystarium and tier 2 weapons.

Some battles last 5 seconds when Blitz hits all 3 or 4 enemies, Light and Hope have Sprint Shoes
Anyway CP won't be an issue with both locations.
Anyone got any tips for getting the Adamantoise down in one stagger? I get the legs down, no buffs, no shrouds, no death spell, no summons before he can quake. When he's down, I switch to SAB/SAB/SYN (Fang/Vanille/Hope) to get haste up and deshell/deprotect/imperil on him, then into COM/RAV/RAV to stagger then batter away, but he's back up with about 40% of his health left, and a Highwind as he's getting up won't finish him. Not sure what else I can try.
My guys have their 3 main roles maxed at role level 5, and one other role nearly maxed. Hope has about 2.4k Magic, Vanille about 2k magic, Fang about 2.9k Strength. Just seems not possible for me at the moment without using a shroud first.

I used Syn to get Haste and a few others on the team before he is knocked down.
I always add Deshell/Deprotect/Imperil/Slow to the big fella as soon as he is down. Once Imperil is on and you get Hope to do Syn, he adds En-fire to your team. This makes them do a lot more damage as Fire is one of the Adamantortoise weaknesses. Every hit should be doing 99,999 Damage (more if you have Genji Gloves on).
Also Vanille and Hope together is a waste. I find COM (attack) roles can do much more damage than any magic spells, once stagger is on. I suggest using 2 Coms in your team so you can Com/COM/Rav him (with enfire applied) when the stagger kicks in. Highwind can do over 1 million damage at the end, assuming you have the Genji glove on.

so who are the main bad guys in this game? if FFX had Sin and Seymore. who does this game have and what are they like? keep passing this game on the shelvs in the shops and it just makes me wanna buy an xbox360. haha
I was originally using Fang/Light/Hope, but you seem to take more damage when you are closer to the feet and Lightning kept running in, and she's a worse healer and her and Hope couldn't seem to get the health of everyone back quickly enough.
Ah yes, sometimes I had the running at the feet problem as well. Normally 2 characters would hit from a distance and 1 would go close to the leg and get trampled. I just wasted a lot of Pheonix Downs reviving them.
May not help you, but I used Med/Med/Med whenever energy was low. At that point in the game my Pardigm decks were all 6 classes for all 6 characters (if you see what I mean). It meant healing/synergising ann sabotaging got done really quick. You just have to be nifty with the menus swapping Paradigms a lot.

Spoiling yourself if you haven't even played it yet?
An old man called Galenth Dysley who is the Primarch of Cocoon and his true form is a fal'Cie called Barthandelus, and then another fal'Cie called Orphan who is the creator and power source of Cocoon.
It takes a while, and tbh, my character stats were probably higher than yours, which made it easier for me.
p.s. You do know that there is an "Adamantoise" and "Adamantortoise". Both with same drops but about 2 million difference in health?
If you are farming in Archlyte Steppe (before you complete the titan trials which turns all them into Long Gui) then farm the tortoise as he is quicker and easier to beat.
Tip. I was going through the Datalog and there is actually 3 types of "Oretoises" (1 baby, 2 big guys, of which one is easier to beat than the other):
Adamanchelid
956,520HP , Stagger: 450% , Chain Resistance: 25
Common: Gold Dust
Rare: Scarletite
Adamantortoise (has 2 legs to kill as well)
3,699,000HP , Stagger: 250% , Chain Resistance: 100
Common: Platinum Ingot
Rare: Trapezohedron
Adamantoise (has 2 legs to kill as well)
5,343,000HP , Stagger: 500% , Chain Resistance: 100
Common: Platinum Ingot
Rare: Trapezohedron
As you can see the bottom 2 guys are the same apart from Stagger and HP so the "Tortoise" is easier to kill, to potentially drop the same items.
Visually they are slightly different, although this took me a while to notice. The "Toise" Has spikes on his shell and back, the "Tor" doesn't.
I found 2 "Toise" and 3 "Chelids" are in a sort of small valley at the north of the plains, all 5 stationary. Farmed them and got my 1st Trapezohedron and a few Ingots.
Hope this helps the "farmers"

Oh, right, that's good to know. I've been killing the two non-chield that are stationary at the area where mission 63 is (one has 3 smaller monsters with it), I'm guessing those are the ones that you're referring too as the stationary ones. I'm also going after the wandering one that is not far away from that area, I presume that's one of the harder ones.
Any idea what type the one in Eden is? thinking of going there to farm, I heard you can respawn that one by running away and coming back, unlike the Steppes whereby I have to keep going back to the main menu and loading back in.
