Using Energy materials reduces the numbers, as will gaining Moogle LV rewards, while synthesizing more than one of any item increases the number of materials needed. Blazing Shards: 4 Blazing Stones: 4 Blazing Gems: 2 Blazing Crystals: 6 Frost Shards: 4 Frost Stones: 4 Frost Gems: 2 Frost Crystals: 6 Lightning Shards: 4 Lightning Stones: 4 Lightning Gems: 2 Lightning Crystals: 6 Lucid Shards: 4 Lucid Stones: 4 Lucid Gems: 2 Lucid Crystals: 6 Power Shards: 4 Power Stones: 8 Power Gems: 2 Power Crystals: 6 Dark Shards: 12 Dark Stones: 8 Dark Gems: 4 Dark Crystals: 8 Dense Shards: 26 Dense Stones: 18 Dense Gems: 16 Dense Crystals: 9 Twilight Shards: 26 Twilight Stones: 18 Twilight Gems: 16 Twilight Crystals: 9 Mythril Shards: 53 Mythril Stones: 38 Mythril Gems: 14 Mythril Crystals: 17 Bright Shards: -- Bright Stones: -- Bright Gems: -- Bright Crystals: -- Energy Shards: -- Energy Stones: -- Energy Gems: -- Energy Crystals: 1 Serenity Shards: 7 Serenity Stones: 7 Serenity Gems: 4 Serenity Crystals: 5 Orichalcum: 13 Orichalcum+: 7 ____________________________________________ ____/ Mythril Preservation In One-Off Synthesis\_____________________________ No enemy drops Mythril materials and the actual number of Mythril materials obtained throughout a game, below, is fewer than needed. Mythril Shards: 36 Mythril Stones: 25 Mythril Gems: 11 Mythril Crystals: 14 Additional Mythril materials may be synthesized. But using Energy materials is more economical and allows for achieving one-off synthesis with the Mythril materials already on hand. To synthesize one of every item, all at one time, the following course is recommended. Prerequisites: Obtain all other materials listed in the preceding section. Reach the final save point to unlock the Goddess of Fate Cup. Win the cup to obtain the seventh Orichalcum+. Ensure enough Energy materials are available. Energy Shards: 16, minor overkill since Energy materials aren't used at LV1 Energy Stones: 12 Energy Gems: 8 Energy Crystals: 9, including 1 required for Ultima Weapon 1. Ignore Creations for the time being. 2. Focus first on C-rank items in Recipes and Free Development that require 3 or fewer Mythril materials. Synthesize only enough 5-Mythril C-rank items to make LV. 3. At LV2, use Energy materials to synthesize the remaining C-rank items needing more Mythril materials. 4. Continue using Energy materials with the B, then the A-rank items, through LV3 but only until LV4 is reached. 5. At LV4, use both Bright and Energy materials to synthesize every remaining item in Recipes and Free Development*. This raises LV by several notches. 6. Now begin synthesizing Creations with Serenity materials, going from C to B to A items. If the item needs two or fewer Mythril materials, use a Bright material as the second material; otherwise, use an Energy material. 7. At LV8, synthesize the new Free Development item with both Bright and Energy materials. 8. In Creations, synthesize only enough items to make LV. 9. At LV9, stop using Bright materials. Synthesize all remaining Creations items using both Energy and Serenity materials. *Including Ultima Weapon, Save the King, and Save the Queen. ______________ ____/ Contributor\___________________________________________________________ GameFAQs ID: Falconesque Created: Friday, June 16, 2006 Last revised: Sunday, September 27, 2009 Added Mythril Preservation section.
