Help FFXIII: Upgrading Weapons!

[ANGRYWOLF]

That's funny.
Rotfl...

I was looking to see if I needed to try to upgrade weapons at this point.I guess not.

Probably later though.

I've read all the pages in this thread and I've come to this conclusion:

None of this shit makes sense.

Now, before anyone starts going on about Upgrading for Dummies, let me explain.

First of all, why do I want to get multipliers on my weapons? What does it mean? What is EXP? THERE IS NO EXP ONLY CP! So why is EXP so damn important? Does upgrading actually grant you more damage, either physically or magically? Besides some of the rather ambiguous effects -- like Adamancy and Stagger Lock, both of which mean absolutely nothing to me -- is there any other reason I should upgrade these weapons? If damage is what I'm going for, why should I not just keep upgrading roles instead?

And, most importantly, if benefits are truly to be had, then which weapons should I entirely ignore upgrading?

"Transforming" your weapons will make a difference. In some cases, more than leveling.

I'll try my best...

So each item you use to upgrade weapons gives certain amounts of exp. generally speaking, the lower the exp it gives the more multiplier points it gives. so if something gives only 5 exp then it prob gives a boatload of multiplier points. you need 350(i THINK) points to get 3x multiplier which is the best. after you get 3x multy you want to use ALL of you highest exp giving items AT ONCE so if you have 99 items that give 500 exp select that item and use however many it takes to get it to the max lvl(use the guide book or gameFAQs to estimate) the best thing you can do is save then try and reload and try again.

HOLY MOLY! I FIGURED IT OUT!

Is it me...I remember I didn't even touch CHRONO CROSS because of this crap! Then someone thought it was a break through in Final Fantasy 10 and on then all of a sudden the future of LIGHTSABRES was on us...WHY!

I want GIL!

I wanna walk into a store and get a mechanic to fix my car...it's like an IMPORT TUNER...

EGG HEDED...PARANOID...AND...SLOW...

Next thing you know we are FIBRE GLASSING our goods...

AND...

HOW?!

Has this improved anything about spending hours upon hours leveling...

NOW?!

Hours and hours collecting the proper items to...wait...here it comes...

'to..juggle..these..nuts..in..your..mouth'

CAUSE MONSTERS ARE TASTY!

OOOH!

Guess what?

You will need to upgrade your weapons way after Chapter 9.

Unless, you've been killing Pulsework Knights and Bomb Wannabe's for th elast 6 months regularly, then maybe you can do it there.

Anyway.

There really is nothing to it especially if you read the guides.

But, the trophy thing with Tetra-Hazers...I'll bet upgrading that pearlwing and dismantling it would be the way to go.

Thank you people for being a great buncha people.
