#FFXIII GAMEFAQS UPGRADE#

For example, if I upgrade a Blazefire Saber into a Flamberge (Tier 2) and then into an Omega Weapon (Tier 3), then I have already obtained the Omega Weapon and can cross that off my list (along with the Blazefire Saber and Flamberge). You only need ONE of these ultimate weapons per character, any beyond that is just a duplicate. Keep in mind that all ultimate (Tier 3) weapons for a character have the same name, regardless of which weapon you upgraded it from. If it upgrades to something with a different name, then that new version is needed towards the achievement. To obtain this achievement, you need to obtain every possible tier of every single weapon and accessory. Most weapons and accessories in this game have tiers, which are upgraded versions of that particular item. If you sold the rings before upgrading AND you sell these charms, then you're screwed. This is the last line of defense against missing this achievement. You can then upgrade these rings into whatever tier(s) you missed. Just upgrade the Charm to it's 'star' level, dismantle, and voila, you have that elemental ring. DO NOT use a catalyst on any charm, as they all turn into Twenty-Sided Die, which cannot be dismantled for rings and are obtained easily otherwise. So a starred Water Charm will dismantle into an Aqua Ring, a Fire Charm into an Ember Ring, and so on. They are all located in the Archylyte Steppe in Chapter 11, and, when upgraded to their 'star' level, can be subsequently dismantled to yield the basic ring for that elemental type. There are charms for each elemental type that are completely unmissable. Clay Ring: Treasure Sphere in Chapter 11, The Archylyte Steppe, Eastern TorsДЄs long as you make sure to obtain all of these (and don't sell them before upgrading), then you've eliminated the most missable part of the achievement.ДЈ) But what if you've already missed all of these rings, or sold them without upgrading them first? There's one last hope. Zephyr Ring: Treasure Sphere in Chapter 11, The Archylyte Steppe, Central Expanse Aqua Ring: Treasure Sphere in Chapter 6, The Sunleth Waterscape, Rain-Spotted Vale Spark Ring: Treasure Sphere in Chapter 4, Vile Peaks, Scavenger's Trail Ember Ring: Treasure Sphere in Chapter 4, Vile Peaks, Devastated Dreams Exploring all of the maps and doing all of the missions will probably get you this anyway, but I'd still recommend making sure that you pick up these items at minimum (some are located in multiple places, I'm just listing at least one place to get them): As a general rule of thumb, if it says 'Can be sold for a premium' in the components description, then it's safe to sell.Дў) The elemental rings are notorious for screwing people out of this achievement, so you should try to obtain at least one ring in each elemental type during your playthrough. As long as you only sell money-making items such as credit/incentive chips, gold nuggets, platinum ingots, etc., then you will be fine. It is actually possible to screw yourself out of this achievement (or make things much harder on yourself) by selling certain accessories before upgrading/dismantling them. Since I orginally wrote this solution, it's come to light that it is possible to miss this achievement, so I advise that you do 2 things, with a back-up plan in case things get ugly:ДЎ) DO NOT SELL ANY WEAPONS OR ACCESSORIES. It was once thought that this achievement was non-missable. I and others have gotten this achievement, and we can all vouch that it's weapons and accessories ONLY. I know that the official guide says otherwise, but it is 100% wrong. You will need a lot of components for upgrading, but they don't count for the achievement. Additionally, items and components do NOT, I repeat, do NOT count towards this achievement. You do NOT need to equip them for them to count, just having them in your inventory is fine. This includes the unique upgraded versions of every weapon and accessory. To get Treasure Hunter, you have to have held (owned) every weapon and accessory at some point in the game. There's some confusion about what this achievement requires.
