Monsters: Found in The Archylte Steppe – 32 shown
Unique monsters are only encountered during one-time plot encounters; mission monsters appear only during missions; the final bosses make up the last set of encounters in the game; eidolons are special monsters that are not defeated through sheer martial prowess; note that multiple monsters may have the same name, especially in the case of multi-stage bosses
Name
The monster's type, as indicated by the in-game datalog
Type
The monster's subtype, as indicated by the in-game datalog
Subtype
The monster's starting and maximum hit points
HP
The monster's strength; a standard physical attack will deal approximately this amount of damage
Strength
The monster's magic power; a typical magic attack will deal approximately this amount of damage
Magic
The monster's level
Level
A monster's chain resistance indicates how quickly its chain meter fills up; a chain resistance of 70 is normal, and every 30 points modifies the chain bonus per hit by that same amount; thus, the chain meter of a monster with a chain resistance of 40 will increase at double speed (compared to 70), or triple speed with a chain resistance of 10; a chain resistance of 100 negates all chain modifiers, reducing each hit to a minimal change to the chain gauge; when a monster is staggered, its chain resistance is reduced to 0
Chain Resistance
When the monster's chain gauge reaches this point, it increases by 100% and they are considered staggered; staggered creatures have a chain resistance of zero; if a monster has no stagger point listed, it will nonetheless be staggered when its chain gauge reaches 999.0%
Stagger Point
A monster's stagger index is an adjusted value that gives a relative measure of how hard a monster is to stagger; this number is based on how many hits the monster's chain gauge would require to reach the stagger point with a chain resistance of 70; for instance, a monster with a chain resistance of 70 and a stagger point of 150.0% would have a stagger index of 50 (since the chain gauge starts at 100.0%), as would a monster with a chain resistance of 40 and a stagger point of 200.0% or a monster with a chain resistance of 85 and a stagger point of 125.0%; the stagger index of a monster with a chain resistance of 100 is an approximation due to the effects of having 100 chain resistance

Components: Found in The Archylte Steppe – 25 shown
Rare components cannot be purchased, but may be dropped by monsters or found in other ways; premium catalysts are sold at exorbitant prices and are generally easier to find than buy; money components are not intended for use in upgrades, but rather to be sold in shops for a profit
Name
Organic components typically yield a small amount of experience, but always add to a weapon or accessory's multiplier bonus; mechanical components reduce the multiplier bonus but offer a large amount of experience for their cost; catalysts cannot be used for experience, but instead are used to upgrade mastered weapons or accessories to a new form
Type
This column shows the amount of experience gained by using one of this component; you can select which rank to view experience for, or use the average value across all ranks; the average value is not necessarily indicative of the best component for a given rank, but it is a solid guideline; base experience is the amount of experience a component yields when used on a weapon or accessory of the same rank as the component; this number is provided for reference, but should not be used as a comparison between components.
EXP
Each component has a rank which can modify its base experience value based on the rank of the weapon or accessory being upgraded; components yield bonus experience when used to upgrade lower-ranked items, but incur a heavy penalty when used to upgrade higher-ranked items
Rank
This column shows different effects of the multiplier bonus for this component; organic components have a positive bonus, while mechanical components have a penalty; whenever a weapon or accessory's total multiplier bonus reaches a certain level, its experience multiplier will change; you can select to see the number of components it will require to go from no bonus to any particular multiplier (×1.25, ×1.5, ×1.75, ×2, ×3); note that if any of these options are selected, mechanical components will have no value, since no number of them will increase your bonus; clicking the ◊ icon will allow you to sort by these values.
The cost to purchase this component from a retail network, if it is available for sale
Price
The amount of gil you receive if you sell this component to a retail shop; note that catalysts typically sell for a small fraction of their worth compared to other component types
Value
The ratio of experience gained to gil value of the component for the currently selected experience value; a grayed-out number in parenthesis represents the efficiency of a component you cannot buy from a retail network; this column is hidden when viewing base experience, because it is not an accurate measure; as a general rule, you want to buy mechanical components with as high an efficiency rating as possible; any mechanical component with an efficiency less than half of the highest purchaseable component should optimally be sold rather than used for experience; this value is of minimal importance for organic components
EXP/Gil
For organic components, this is the ratio of multiplier bonus to gil value; a grayed-out number in parenthesis represents the efficiency of a component you cannot buy from a retail network; as a general rule, you want to buy organic components with as high an efficiency rating as possible; any organic component with an efficiency less than half of the highest purchaseable component should probably be sold rather than used to increase a multiplier
