PSP2i Leveling Guide?

[Lunariancrystal]

I looked and googled and couldn't really find anything. What are some good areas you can grind for EXP? I'm Lv65... I know some infinity missions have high EXP Bonus %+. Is there a mission people spam? If you could post the mission name in Japanese that'd be even better! Thanksssss

Yeah same plus i just started today and i'm a lv 13..

At level 65? I'd say spamming Gurhal Heroes (The one that's not S-rank) in story mode is a good way to boost your level. People I know usually spam Gurhal Heroes (グラールヒーロズ) on whichever rank that's suitable to their level and Max Attack Infinity IV (マキシマムアタック∞ＩＶ) on S-rank, which is currently only available during online play.

The latter would be best once you get to the LV150 mark or if you can find people to help carry you through that mission.

Do グラールヒーローズ (Gurhal Heroes) until you are about lvl 100. This is much easier when you have higher lvl (100 to 140) alts to bring with you, since NPC partners are leveled in relation to your current level and may not be able to help take down enemies after you tag them. At lvl 65, you're pretty much past the point of 1 hit KO, so remember that for when you rebirth or use the mission to raise other characters.

After lvl 100, start doing マガシ抹殺計画 (Magashi Plan). This mission gives a ton of EXP, is fairly easy, and the enemies are leveled to match you - so it's always good exp regardless of your level. (Gurhal Heroes A has set levels, so that's why it's good for big exp early on). The problem is that you'll need five of each spellstones (魔石ハートキー, 魔石イリティスタ, 魔石イリティスタ, and 魔石ファントムナイト) to "pay" for the run. These can be farmed from Gurhal Heroes, so when you run out, switch back to playing Gurhal Heroes to farm some more. Even if the XP isn't as good, it's still decent and you still get a ton of MP from that mission, so it's not like you're not just wasting time farming spellstones.

Both Gurhal Heroes and Magashi Plan are エクストラミッション "Extra Missions". Gurhal Heroes you'll have to download. I don't remember the site which has all the missions bundled, but I'm sure someone else here will help you on that. Magashi Plan has to be unlocked by doing story & side story missions. Once you've cleared chapter 8 of the story mode, complete the 紅の戦鬼 "Crimson Warrior" extra mission. That will unlock 穿つ双剣の遺産 "Bladed Legacy" open mission on Clad 6. Complete that on any difficulty to unlock Magashi Plan.

Max Attack Infinity IV (マキシマムアタック∞ＩＶ) on S-rank, which is currently only available during online play.

Yeah, the MAI missions are good for getting levels, as well as hunting for rares once you've tapped out the other missions for what they offer - or just need a change of scenery. MAI missions are download missions, and you should get them in the same pack you get Gurhal Heroes in. If you have access to online mode, I think they give a 200% EXP boost, but you can also access gimped versions of them them offline by going into ad-hoc "multi mode" and setting up a game lobby. However, they'll only have like a 150% exp boost.

what i do is just spam the hardest mission i can do and complete, and farm for better gear to do a harder mission.(but at the same time, do a mission that has drops you need. the de ragan mission i do most of the time drops a sword and armor that has a chance to be a-rank.)

good luck on your future hunts.

Ok so I was doing the best EXP mission thus far.. Yeah I saw the +200% EXP Bonus and was liking that but I was having trouble with some areas. Some monsters were wrecking me. I'm guessing there is an Easy path and a hard path... But sweet..! Thanks for the information. Appreciated!

Yeah, that's why you want at least one higher level alt with you. If this is your first time through, it could get pretty hairy in some areas thanks to all the boosted enemies, but will become much easier later on once you have the groundwork laid. I haven't really noticed much of an "easy path/hard path" difference. Though I would advise against going through the Snow Field if you can help it. The Savage/Barbarous wolves frequently cast Shifta/Deban which can pretty much make them invulnerable to lower-level characters. Might be a good idea to carry a Wand or Rod with Jellen/Zelure and some offensive techs just in case.


Oh, and you might also want to have a training montage song to help keep you motivated. I recommend "Hearts on Fire" from Rocky IV (the one where he had to fight the Russian).

[Nytesong]

oh yeah i haaate those wolves they jump all over you and you cant do anything! XD well, exept run far away and try again lol

There's those Max Attack Infinity missions also can help provided that you're escorted, and equip Jellen or Zalure to tag the enemies. Bring the Lightning MB or something with large area of effect (depending on your race) to help whenever you're at the right place. The other way is doing a decent-leveled IM with Exp+50%, and an optional of boosted enemy boost. Exp Boost will further help you out.
If you have high lv characters, they can help, but if not, then you may want friendly friends to help level.

well i tried gurahl heroes, and it really does have good XP. but i didnt even hope to complete it, when the enemies started to be boosted lvl 95, 100 enemies. me lvl 73.. lol... with regualr NPC partners like kraz and partner machine /yut. the downside is, no meseta reward(not really worried about this, pick up meseta along the way) and, no type point reward.. so.. i guess its back to measly xp killing de ragan and crew 10+ lvls higher than me... sadface...
