I need help with armor/gil

[GypsyElder]

What do you even need money for?

You just customize the armor right?

EDIT: unless you're buying the armor from Wantz (blank ability slots), I remember that being kind of pricey.

Bribing. So much bribing.

The Wings to Discovery I'm pretty sure you can only bribe from marlboros and great marlboros at the rate of about 4 for every 500,000 gil if I remember right. Though if you ask me, Break HP limit is the most overrated ability in the game, as a good team effectively using Auto-life and auto-phoenix can take down just about any arena boss. But that's just me and I don't want to get into a debate about this so I'll just shut up.

Lunar and light curtains can both be stolen pretty frequently from monsters on the Thunder Plains, lunars from the larvae whatchamacallits and light curtains from the Iron Giants. I always did that when it came to getting those. Pretty easy. Also, I think Fafnir drops a buch of light curtains when you beat it? Don't quote me on that, but if you're on that level, you can farm light curtains effectively that way if I'm right.

Chocobo wings are pie, too. Machea in the Omega Ruins are bribable, in what my strategy guide tells me is 60 for 360,000 gil.

It should also be noted that you get 99 lunar curtains for capturing all creatures inside Sin, 99 light curtains for unlocking the horned creation Juggernaut, and 99 Chocobo wings for capturing all creatures on the Thunder Plains if you haven't done so already.

And if you need gil, go to the Omega ruins. Most of the weapon drops there are worth at least 10,000 gil. Not to mention, you're in an area where Great Marlboros are random encounters, and it's really easy to level there. Literally killing three birds with one stone. Just remember to have at least one character in your party with a first strike weapon, and Provoke prevents great marlboros from using Bad Breath.

Good luck, man. Grinding sucks, but it's necessary if you want to get to the more advanced parts of the game.
