30 Allagan Tomestones after a jumping puzzle...

[Baklavah]

I HATE jumping puzzles... they are the dumbest fking thing in the history of games that are not platformers........ all this aggravation for 30 tomestones so I can upgrade a weapon... and I've screwed up the jump like 20 times now because no matter HOW HARD I MASH THE DAMN BUTTON.... Noctis refuses to warp.... I hate it. I DESPISE this... UGH.

It was a pain in the rear getting that but to be fair, you get 90 total tomestones for free and that's almost enough to make 2 full weapons. You should be able to finish the 100 to make 2 (with buying the adamantite) while you farm the boss for the feathers.

I personally felt the sword and gun were the best. I never found another weapon to compare to the air step damage of the sword and the gun is at least mildly useful for cactuar timed quests before you can 1 shot warp strike them. Other than them the other weapons are meh at best, the great sword doesn't compare to iron duke or afrosword, both of which are somewhat easier than farming 50 tomestones and zwillblade just straight out performs the daggers.

You could actually skip that 3rd pickup of tomestones and just make the sword. It's the only one of the weapons I used more than once in a blue moon and it's actually what I consider the best weapon in the game for Noctis. I love airsteps though so some will disagree.

I ended up FINALLY getting all 3 pickups of tomestones and made the gun and the dual daggers. Farmed up some feathers and made the sword and the greatsword. Now I just need Adamantite, which I'll get later, but I intend to give the other weapons to the gang, because they're so damn weak compared to Noctis otherwise...
