I switched to sazh summon+chain+blitz for my toise farming. 100% kill rate in a solid 2 minutes. Vanille's summon+death was getting me about a 65% kill rate, and the successes were averaging close to 2 minutes while it took about 2:20-2:30 to determine that a run had failed, dragging the average cycle with her out to about 9 minutes. Sazh+summon gets an average cycle in the 5ish minute rate, and is a little more engaging.

But yeah, the grinding gets dull pretty damned fast. I think I can cycle through maybe 6-8 toises in the sanctum area before I literally start falling asleep from boredom. The fact that they're basically the only way to get decent returns on gil drives me seriously nuts.
