where can i farm elixirs ?

Where is a good place to farm elixirs?

You can bribe them from YKT-11 enemies in the Zanarkand Ruins. That's the easiest way.

The hard way is to pick a Dark Aeon you can repeat-farm and steal from them. Probably not a good idea.

There's some as prizes for Blitzball League or Tournament, which also takes forever. No bueno.

No regular enemy drops them, only two one-time bosses.

Bribe - YKT-11 (155,000 Gil) - Zanarkand Dome

[Hinnyuu]

Side note: when using Bribe in FFX, there's an easy way to figure out how much to pay enemies. Simply do max HP x 25 to get 100% success at Bribe.

YKT-11 has 6,200 HP, and 6,200 x 25 = 155,000 gil for 100% success Bribe.

Saves you having to look up Bribe values for every enemy you want to Bribe. Just use Scan/Sensor to check the HP and multiply by 25.

thanks for the tips!!! already farmed a couple... now i need to do all cloister destructions chets for aeon after that i go for end game

IIRC to save money you go 50% of the guaranteed bribe amount, and then keep trying with 1 gil each time after that until it works.

You can do that (going as low as x10 max HP which I believe is the minimum, at 25% chance to succeed), however AFAIK you will get fewer items.

For most enemies it's also just not worth fussing over, because it's laughable amounts. 100,000 gil or whatever at endgame really don't move the needle, considering how easy it is to make money. Perhaps if you're bribing someone for millions this could be a consideration, though.

Hinnyuu already said it nicely:
Yes you could go for less Gil for bribe but it really just doesn't help. It takes long and you gain fewer items. You'd be better of to get the full amount of items and farm gold.

Other than that: Why so many elixirs? They are nice to have but i don't think i ever used many of them outside of Aeons.

Bevelle can't be revisited, but in return, it always has you use the Destruction Sphere - you cannot leave without it, so you can't miss Bevelle.

Zanarkand and Djose you can, but those you can just go back to no problem. Only Besaid and Macalania are guarded.

You need all Destruction Spheres done in order to unlock Anima.

[Warpoc]

Well getting anima was a breeze i had all the Spheres already done lol

Bribe them from Chimera Brains in Calm Lands.

Much like with Elixir, no regular enemy drops them (except Land Worms, but those are beyond the point of no return, so not useful). Some bosses do, and some chests. That's it.

both of the YKT-11 and YKT-63 will hand it over from bribes.
you can also steal 3 Holy Water from them at common chances and at rare chance (25%) you can get Ether as well, their common drop on death is Hi-Potion x2 and
Mega Potion x1 as rare drop
when it comes to bang for your buck, the YKT-11 is far better deal, offering Elixir x12 for 155k gils or 124k if you have the original japanese version (somehow). although if money is tight, 105k gils for Elixir x8 is still good considering all other sources and options.
