Ah. Then you're well versed already. I have played through it enough times at this point that I actively and purposefully grind the materials I need well ahead of time, though I don't think I've ever 100%'d the game. I think the worst was getting the death prevention accessories for my group so I could take on the angel of death without getting one shot. But I have spent an exorbitant amount of time leveling off loopers near their landmark.
