Episode Confusion!

azurite>_< FFX-2 Chapter 5 is a PAIN. IN. THE. ASS. Or maybe it's a "Paine" in the ass, I'm not sure yet.
Good things:
* Got Episode Complete!s in a few areas, like Besaid, Kilika, Luca, and so on. I'm currently on the Thunder Plains and working on the Cactuar Nation sidequest. Found 6 Cactuars so far; I know where the others are, but finding them will take a while, what with those fiends standing right at the edge of the cactus ranch.
* Paine is the fastest level-upper, though I don't really know why. She's already mastered the Warrior and Dark Knight dresspheres, and I have her working on Samurai and Trainer. Yuna is the Gun Mage, White Mage, Gunner, and Songstress, but she's stuck at 90% for the Gun Mage because of that dratted Blue Bullet. I missed my chance to learn a few of the fiends you learn the tricks from; others I'd have to venture into areas and start MORE Episodes in order to fight them. Finally, Rikku is my Thief, Berserker, Black Mage, and Alchemist. I don't have any other Dresspheres. ;_; I hear Rikku in her Machina Maw is great vs. Vegnagun, so I'm trying to train her with that. Yuna was fantastic with her Floral Fallal back in Kilika, but I haven't done much with Paine's Special Sphere since I got it from Trommell in Chapter 1.
BAD THINGS:
* Like I said, I'm in the Thunder Plains, in the secret cave messing with the puzzles and the walls and the rah rah rah. But the fiend encounters are annoying me... and I don't have a Charm Bangle. And the wonderful way my StratGuide is organized, you have to search page by page to see if how the item is obtained. >_< So does anyone know where you get the Charm Bangle (Exorcist Bracer) in FFX-2? I hope it's obtainable even in Chapter 5 (i.e. it's not an event-item).
* Also, I don't have the Crimson Spheres 5, 6, and 8. I know I was supposed to get 5 from Leblanc, but she's not in Guadosalam. And if there's no way to get it in Chapter 5, that means the Den of Woe will remain sealed, and I won't get to fight Rikku, Paine, Baralai, Gippal, and Nooj. Which means a lot of cool items (and a percentage amount) won't be obtainable... >_< !!! AUGH!!! So how do I get Crimson Spheres 6 and 8?
*sigh* This is a HUUUUGE pain in the neck. I still have to dispatch chocobos to Bikanel to find the Desert Key, and to somewhere on the Mi'ihen Highroad to find that secret dungeon.
I keep getting tempted to write in my strategy guide, but I WON'T. >_< BAD MER! But I will figure out where to get that dratted bangle and see how much more I can complete tonight. I'm at 83%. ;_; That seems so little, considering I could just hop right into the Farplane now.
I should be working on WDKY10. Or the present, or BEA's new layout, or... I have a lot to do, but darn, this game is addicting. And I need sleep, too. And food. But there's nothing to eat here. :P I hate this. I need cereal.
