Where can I find these items?

Where can i find inorganic items in ff13?

• alright i'm really pissed off cuz i've spent well over 600000gil in ff13 upgrading my weapons with organic items from creature comforts buh yesterday i found out that organic items r only good 2 multiply ex while inorganic items r good for boosting ex, buh here's the problem: where can i get inorganic items, FROM WHICH SHOP??? and is upgrading important cuz its such a pain does it really make a noticeable difference? for lightning, snow and hope (the characters i always play with) r in there 30's (lv) is that good considering i'm in the second last chapter? and lastly is it right that im only focusing on completing the whole crystarium rather than completing the upgrades? cuz i've finished the three main roles 4 each of my characters and i plan on completing the rest of the roles today or should i also worry about upgrades???

• Answer:

  Inorganic items: Lenora's Garage sells some cheaper stuff R&D Depot(unlocked later on...mission 7 I think?) sells the high quality inorganic components. I don't understand how you could have difficulty doing both the crystarium AND upgrades...they don't share resources so you should be able to handle each independently.
