Money and LP. His dropped item sells for over 1k.

And you can buy Phoenix Downs at either Miguellos or the underground vendor by Old Dalan's. If you sell the loot he drops you can buy 5 phoenix downs per drop. Sure you need to run back a few times while you build up your money, but it does work.

There are also a few chests that can drop PDs, but honestly it's a lot more hassle than just investing some of your money made.

Easy XP. Dustia is what is known as a 'rare game' ('game' being used in the hunting sense), this one is practically impossible to beat at the early stage of the game. (being level 17 and having a little over 7000 HP) HOWEVER, it's undead and doesn't have the Safety augment, which means phoenix downs can one-hit the bastard. (as Revive Kills Zombie) The XP and levels you gain also gets applied to all future permi party memebers you pick up, so you could theoetrically have a full roster in the 20s at a point where reasonably you should be at half that.

I see well maybe if and when I start over, I will try to farm it a handle full of times just to get a early boost.

If you are looking for easy money, just sell the Diamon Armlet found in a chest at stage 1 in Trail mode, its worth 6000 gil and you can keep getting it over and over again. Its fairly game breaking. Don't remember how early on you can buy Phoenix Downs but at 6000 a pop, you can buy a lot of them.

If you want to break the game just use the max gil cheat.

You can farm a few chests in the Estersand for Phoenix Downs, and you can buy them at Nalbina once Penelo leaves after the Sunstone quest. Penelo's Exp and LP aren't locked in until she perma-joins later in the game, so any farming after she leaves will still give her Exp and LP.

If you don't mind abusing Trial Mode, there is a chest in Stage 2(the one with Thextera) that is always a Phoenix Down if you don't have Diamond Armlet on, and Stage 1 has a chest that is always Diamond Armlet if you don't have one on. Diamond Armlet is situationally amazing, and can be sold for 6000.

Steal them from Coktrice in the zone where you fight rogue tomato
