Dark Matter, Mega Phoenix

Where can i find the following item?

1. Dark Matter (not sure how many - For BDL)
2. Chocobo Wing (not sure- For Auto Haste)
3. Mega Phoenix *(x30)

I need them as i wan to create a custom super weapons n armors. Please dun ask me to steal as it will take a lot of time. Example: Chocoo Wing. Steal from Cactuar only can steal 2 at a time. And it's not easy to steal from them

If stealing is the only way, then you have to bite the bullet and steal if you really want them. There are usually other ways, like bribing. Try to see if you can get them from the Original Creations in the Arena. There are plenty of monsters there that might give you want you need. I do not really know though since I did not really try to get those items. I was more interested in maxing out the sphere grid, which gives you a pretty good haste to start with.

1. You can get 99 by capturing 5 of every monster then going to the guy who runs the Monster Arena. Otherwise, the Monster Arena creations somtimes drop 1 (2 if they were overkilled) or you can bribe the Land Worms Inside Sin.

2. I looked at two FAQs and they say different things. One says you get 99 by catching 3 of every Wolf type monster then going to the guy who runs the Monster Arena. The other says you get 99 by creating the Cactuar King arena creation. To do this, it says:

"Capture at least one of each monster from the Thunder Plains. These
are: Aerouge, Buer, Melusine, Kusariqqu, Qactuar*, Gold Element, Larva, and
Iron Giant**.

*You will not encounter Qactuars until you've prayed to at least one of the glowing Qactuar stones.

**The Iron Giant only appears north of Rin's travel agency."

3. You can get 99 by catching 4 of every Bird type monster then going to the guy who runs the Monster Arena.

I have prayed for a lot of stone(the one that glow) but quactuar still won;t appear at Thunder Plain!!
So anyone can confirm this Dark Matter? The one that Monster Arena gave u?? Is it Capture 3 wolf? or 5 monster at each area? What 3 wolf is that? Which area wolf?

I know that the Arena guy gives you tons of items for doing the capturing process and I do remember the Chocobo Wings now, Dark Matter, I cannot say, but sounds right. If you are a completist any, you will want to finish the Arena anyway. But I would definitely say the arena is the safest bet is complete the arena I remember getting 99 of all sorts of things there.

is their any monster that drops maga pheonixs becasue i am also in need of a super armour (ive got break HP/MP limit items and ribbon item i just beed to find an monster that drops Maga Pheonixs.)

[Palazzo]

YAT-99 (Bevelle Temple, Great Bridge)
Mech Hunter (Cavern of the Stolen Fayth)
Mech Defender (Mt. Gagazet)
YAT-97 (Yevon Dome)

The above sometimes drop Mega Phoenixes, though it's rare.

I'd suggest catching 4 of every bird type monster and going to the guy that runs the Monster Arena though if you haven't already. Easy 99 Mega Phoenixes there.

I have collected nearly all the fiend in all area. The only area which i havent got one is inside Sin cause i haven't go there yet. Anyway, do this mean i have to
a) collect all type of fiend in all area and 5 of them each? Or
b) collect all type of fiend in all area only?
If answer is (a) then it will take very long time..
