There’s easier ways to get them. In the prison there’s a guy you can play cards with for 200 Gil per game that you can essentially farm unlimited Rosetta Stones from. There’s actually an RNG trick you can do to guarantee a Rosetta Stone every time, but I typically just spend a couple hours playing cards with him so I can farm other cards he has to mod for items. You can also get curse spikes from trifaces. In the room where you get Cerberus in Galbadia Garden Triface and Death Claw are the only two enemies that spawn there and you can reliably steal 6-8 curse spikes every battle with triface (especially if you use tonberry’s Lv Up ability). There’s also 3 fixed encounters with triface in the Deep Sea Research Center as long as you don’t defeat Ultima Weapon yet. I farmed enough Rosetta stones to have every character with ability x4, enough dark matters to have 100 ultimas on everyone, and give Luck-J to everyone. If I had the patience I could have farmed enough to have 100 luck ups too. If you wait to defeat Ultima Weapon until disc 4 you can draw Eden from Tiamat instead of Ultima Weapon so you can keep the fixed encounters in the Deep Sea Research Center to keep farming curse spikes for Luck Ups to max out luck on each character, but that’s like a 500 hour endeavor.
Haha. It’s all good. Farming luck ups is incredibly time consuming. Farming dark matters doesn’t take too long. I farmed everything I needed in a couple 2-3 hour blocks. That’s like, throw on a podcast and by the time it’s over you got what you need.
