Alright ... haven't played for a little while, but for some reason, decided to come in here and ask.

What's up with money?

Everybody talks about bribing enemies for items and paying Yojimbo, but I always seem to be running slightly low. I mean sure, I have enough to do quite a few things, but not multiple times.

Are there "easy" ways to get money? Or do you prettymuch just have to fight for it?

[Confession]

Umm I havev't played in a while either so sorry if I mess up the figures.

But the best way to earn gil is in the omega dungeon. When you encounter a lizard thingo (forgot the name) and a treasure chest, if you steal from the treasure chest and nothing happens, once you kill the lizard you will earn 50k gil from the battle.

If you have Rikku's celestial weapon, or any weapon with gilionaire on it, you will get triple that amount I think, if they are in the party.

Do that for a couple of hours and you can accumilate a ton of gil.

The problem with Omega Dungeon is that the Marlboros and Demonliths that use status attacks all of the time. Damn, they're annoying.

That's why you use Aurons Celestial weapon and teach him flee. Even if you're ambushed, Auron has 1st strike and can run away if you want.

The easy way to deal with Great Marlboros is to have First Strike on Tidus, then have him use Provoke. This prevents it from ever using Bad Breath, and instead use either his spit against Tidus or a weaker version against the whole group. Just a note here: With this strategy, you cannot rotate Tidus out of battle. If you do, the effects of provoke wears off, and Bad Breath ensues. The key is: First Strike, Provoke, hastega, beat him down with spells or attacks.

Demonoliths are a different story. For the most part, I just recommend at low levels just having aeons take care of them, as they are immune to every status effect besides curse. It's possible to get armor in the Omega Ruins to help you deal with their counterattacks, which I believe inflict darkness, poison, and silence. Once you get stronger, you can develop actual player strategies for Demonoliths.
