Relic: Your progress on the Grind.

I think the best way is starting with the retainers. Look what you have from the items on the list and what you don't need anymore (like element materia IV).

I am at 73/80 for UI - Still need 3 Aether Oils - missed a couple weeks of the repeatable quest and I am yet to finish my 10 dungeons. I can wrap that all up pretty quickly to begin working on the next stage though. Only really began focusing on gathering the UI over the last month or so.

I have 4 Sands waiting to be used. But I got lazy with roulettes the past couple of weeks and am low on Eso.

i basically skipped all vanilla content so i haven't any of those items so i still don't know where to start.

Another question is how you get umbrite?

Anima Step i240
15/240 Growth Stats

I could possibly get to 18/240 at the moment but I am in need of Eso Tomes to continue. I like this step so far, not too crazy like the i210 and with way more fun ways to obtaining items to get sand. Though farming for 24,000 Eso Tomes for 80 Ores you need is not fun if you plan to get all of the Anima Weapons for every class.

On around 30/240. Umbrite is going to be my issue, sands dead easy #fisher op for blue scrips.

You're using Fisher to get the Blue Scrip Letters for Sand? Any good fish to be on the look out for, for the Gathering Blue Scrips?

22/240. I basically emptied my retainers of old glamour crap and bought a load of Moonstones. I have a crap tonne of IV materia as I kept doing beastribe dailes even after I finished the 210 step. I'll either trust in RNG and attempt to exchange them all for elemental materia with Bubblepots or just sell them on the MB and buy the materia directly.

Illuminati perch, use patience (not patience II), medium tug and powerful hookset. Bait is brute leeches. You can get the scrips very quickly and easily this way, but you do have to keep buying some more brute leeches from time to time from the scrips themselves. Small tug and large tug, dont use a hookset, just reel it in normally and hope the fish gets away to avoid the long catch animation.

Buying things with Poetcis (Superior Enchanted Ink and Thavnarian Mist). It seems to be the cheapest way for I change for Crystal Sand. Perhaps in 2 or 3 months I finish xD

Sometimes trying have luck with Amber-encased Vilekin. I read about to be potential reward from levequest Needs More Fervor (L) and possible reward from treasure chest found during any level 50+ battle levequest.
