It makes a much bigger difference to skill usage than normal attacks.Īfter the tutorial Arena Fight, the preliminaries only take about 9-10 minutes. Δ Weathy Black Pure Bred (Area found by MegaMasterX) is exceptional for kicking them.Īfter getting the money we desire, purchasing the level 4 weapon and Alchemizing it to +5 is probably worth it. Just enter the encounter and then be as close as possible to the chim door before using smoke screen.īefore Preliminaries, level 6 is also ideal for Fate Worms - which pretty much let us buy anything we want throughout the run. There's one room with two enemies and a chim door that takes a minor amount of positioning. The next dungeon area only requires 4 smoke screens if you use them right. Skipping encounters to get Symbol Fragments in Atoli's areas is very easy - the method is shown in the NG+ video I linked.Ītoli's next area also skips encounters to gain symbol fragments, the steam bike makes the strategy employed somewhat better. Level 6 is pretty ideal for tournament preliminaries. Taking 2-3 fights before kicking Sleipnir, then 4 after kicking Sleipnir + the boss gets you to level 6. If Dungeons wind up being fast for grinding (not likely) you might need more. There's a lot more stuff I want to go over for New Game and the overall route, but since explaining everything would be a gigantic wall of text, I'll try to be brief.įor new game, getting to level 3 before the Pi&Kuhn area allows you to use Sleipnir.Ģ5 Chims, then the King Chim is enough for all the required content in the game. I think just by hammering the mistakes out of that route you can maybe get sub 3 hours. I may do one more NG+ run, but I really don't want to focus on that category. I didn't have a magic attack blood or a magic or physical defense seal drop for me either, but those would have helped too if I had them.Ĩ0-90% of the damage formula may come from levels, but that still leaves a lot to work with.Īnd that's just the stuff I can remember off the top of my head. It's possible I didn't use the permanent buffs on haseo either come to think of it. I didn't look into if buying new equipment for Pi or Kuhn was worth it.īuying an Accessory to boost Haseo's elemental score may have also been worth it.
I died to Endrance once because I was being reckless (read: really dumb).Īs a result of my poor money planning I didn't buy enough consumable spells for the Kite fight. I bought 2 Body Shell when I only needed 1 (probably none are necessary, but it's significant for the Team Raven fight at least). My Tarvos fight is awful and something I need to practice in simulator. Also, level 40 is too high so leveling as much as I did is wrong. I messed up the second Atoli area a little bit and wasted a little bit of time.įumbled the Moon Rabbit routing I set for myself just before I did the run. I probably shouldn't have bought the Twinblade Weapon Upgrade. I did a couple things out of order - like when I made some of my purchases and gathering keywords. I tried survival battle, but that wound up being 5 minutes slower.īase 10WP fights turn into 15WP fights via bonus WP if you kill two players.īase 30WP fights take like, 1:20+ and you're unlikely to get enough bonus WP to make it worth it. That is infact the fastest possible way to do the Tournament Preliminaries that I have found for NG+. I'll talk about the NG+ route for a little bit, then move onto general New Game stuff.
I'm already in touch with MegaMasterX and sergeman.Ĭurrently my only good run has been my second NG+ run timed at 3:09:07 found below.įor that run I still have a lot of criticisms, but I only did the run as a staging point for testing lategame things. I've been doing a lot with this game recently. My "Goal" if you wanted to call it that was under 3 hours but I think under 3:30:XX might be more realistic idk yet. I've tried to make it as entertaining and speedy as possible. On that my fear is hitting 20 means I'd probably be putting in 40ish+ minutes of leveling smack dab in the middle of the run. I use other ways of leveling faster then just doing normal field/dungeon runs. The Moon Rabbit trick does appear often in the 24ish minutes but I cant abuse it to go from 6-20.
The means I'm getting these levels however are as optimized as I can get them. Meaning its taken me thus far 3ish minutes to gain a level.
Why? Because to get the Job extension you have be level 20 and I got to this part at lvl 6 lol. I'm currently at 1:44:XX, up to the job extension part and already qualified for the tournament Thing is I hit this part around 1:20:XX, so the last 24ish minutes of the run have been dedicated to pure leveling. Forgive my Bumping but I've picked up this run atm.
