stagger a notorious monster in dynamis, treasure hunter applied, chances are you're walking away with a 100 piece
if you ask me, that's far from being screwed over, seeing how you could do that at least once a day, and that's not even accounting the fact you could do it on multiple notorious monsters in one run
still, buying surely isn't that bad as long as you can afford inflated prices, i suppose

The Stagger method is pretty well fleshed out now. For those who don't want to really dig it up. Basically, You Kill all 5 TE's in the zone and you're able to stagger easily. I think it was something like... and bare with me, my memory/info might not be 100% up to date.
0-2 TE's Killed = No Stagger possible
3 = "Blue" Stagger, Does nothing special (IIRC) "Hard" to proc
4 = "yellow" Stagger, Increases Currency rate, Terrors "Medium to proc"
5 = "Red" stagger, Same as yellow, Doesn't use 2hour, "Easy" To proc.
(Mob Jobs)
Light Armor - THF/RNG/NIN/MNK/BST = Job Abilities Proc
Heavy Armor = WAR/DRG/DRK/PLD/SAM = Weaponskills to proc
Mages = WHM/RDM/BLM/SMN/bRD = Magic to proc.
From what i gather, Its a set percent chance to proc when using the correct action (I.E Any JA has say, 20% Chance to proc, on a THF with 5/5 Statues). You can always get a stagger with effort once you get all 5 TE's.
That being said, In Jeuno, I killed buttloads of NMs (at least ~5 a run or more) the last two days, Triggering most, walking away with 1 100 (a montiont) that ironically dropped from an NM i hadn't triggered. I think i triggered 8 out of about 11 of them.
So the drop rate is kinda ***from Free-Spawn and Lottery NM from what i can tell (I'm always on THF so i bring it).
However, I heard better luck from Xarc zones, which I'll eventually be doing x.x;
