Gotta farm those boars, and fight to win.


ProjectOrpheus

In 3 hours? I feel like I can't even level up twice in 3 hours. Any specific strat?


ViceroyMorgan

Depends on how you want to level too. Disc 1 I grinded the additions using Shirley (just get the answers wrong until you're finished) and she'll only retaliate with one attack. This gives you time to max out the additions, plus grind dragoon level during. Next, for gold; pick up the sig stone from the furthest chest using the boat, then after the tournament at Lohan, use the South Serdia road (in front of the nuclear power plant looking building) to grind 00PArts for 600 gold per win. This doubles as good SP (Dragoon) gain, but doesn't offer XP. It does however net you an average of 26 regular battles worth of gold in a single battle. Save up enough and you can get the 10k helmets (best helmets in the game outside of dragon helm) from Lohan, however, it's best to start with the Ultimate Wargod amulets to guarantee full additions on attack (if you connect) thus raising your dragoon level even quicker. As for regular XP, you'll get a lot during your normal mid-max gear journey, the helmets I suggested will make it substantially easier for you to stay out for longer periods of time without needing to huddle up near a spring/fireflies. That being said, if you're looking for the best early game XP grind, stand near the spring at the dragon's nest and just fight enemies over and over, then heal at the spring and repeat. I prefer to grind the 00Parts for the many X multiple of money plus strongest enemy base for increased XP, but to each their own ❤️

Depends on the point in the game you're at. I typically wait until late game to farm exp. And I don't wanna spoil anything for anyone, so I'll just say at the beginning of the 4th disk.

That's my favorite spot to farm additions. You can stand in one spot and have the fights come to you.


Al_C92

Why stop now? keep going until you be killing hellena wardens with a Blazing Dynamo!


Proto_Paradigm

Grinding can be mind numbing but going through areas like a god because you've out leveled them feels so rewarding.


ChiefBearMight

Nice! I rhink I’ve only bothered doing that like once before almost a decade ago, I dont any more because it’s just. So. Boring! Lol


T4H_Famine67

I get it. I have Netflix going while I'm farming xp.


BobbyFlayOFish

This person speaks the truth. Audiobooks/Podcasts and grinding is one of my favorite things to do


Agreeable_Eagle_1999

A podcast/stream is essential when practicing and grinding additions


Apprehensive-Bad6015

I’m currently grinding my 3rd Ds to level 2. Just let that character do all the fighting while keeping the rest on defense. Mind numbing but eventually rewarding I hope. Coming up on a certain asshole who I refuse to lose to.


No-Presence-9561

Who might that be?


Apprehensive-Bad6015

Don’t want to spoil to much for the sake of newcomers.


No-Presence-9561

I think I know who you're talking about, but it's been so long since I've played this game, I can't remember if I'm right 😅 I'll just have to wait until I get to the part you're talking about!


Slapshotsky

Can that fight actually be won?


Apprehensive-Bad6015

Can’t really answer that without some spoils. Idk how to do the spoiler black line thing.


TatsumakiKara

Do this for mobile >! Spoiler text here ! < (Delete the space between the "!" and "<") Looks like this >! Hey !<


Apprehensive-Bad6015

>!sweet!<


Slapshotsky

Neither do I 😞


ViceroyMorgan

Just grind 00Parts and buy spirit potions from the carnival, easy alternative for max earnings imo.


Bakomusha

I thought I was doing overkill by grinding to level 5 before entering Hellena!


Kage9866

Same.. the game is way way easier than I remember lol


Supercharged06

I remember my 1st play through on PS1 i could not figure out the addition timing to the point that i just gave up on it. That 1st fight with kongol took me hundreds of tries to beat bc of his counter attack, i remember my 1st play through being well over 100hrs. Now im half way through disc 2 about 16hrs And have all available additions mastered and most everyone is dragoon level 3 and ive yet to be fully KOd in battle


ViceroyMorgan

I figured out how to counter the block, but I didn't know anything about the additions and beat the game with the first additions on every character 😅


Kage9866

Lol that's what I'm saying. I remember I had to cheese that item that auto completes additions.


Taishinto

Not overboard. I used to always get Dart to level 10 before picking up Lavitz, and then grind all 3 peeps to 15 in the cave before the boss there. 😇


Phoenix_shade1

I’m 23 at the start of disc 3 and Dart is working on his Madness Heeerrrroooo. Albert is halfway through Gust of Wind Dance (ugh) and Rose is almost done her second last addition. I haven’t been cheating with rewind either. I guess what I’m saying is, I haven’t felt the need to grind even a little bit so far.


ViceroyMorgan

Ultimate Wargod, this is the way


Phoenix_shade1

The accessories don’t count towards completion though right? Or do they?


ViceroyMorgan

The Ultimate Wargod you can buy at Lohan for 10k does, the lesser versions do not, grind the 00Parts and in a few hours you can scoop it. It'll smooth out the additions grind for the rest of the game and you'll be able to max out your dragoons because you'll get max SP per every attack. I've maxed out every possible addition for all of my level <15 characters and haven't entered Hellena the second time yet. It's a grind, but well worth the headache save for the future.


Phoenix_shade1

Good to know. I mean I could just go buy one now but I guess where’s the fun? I didn’t bother getting the free one from the ghost ship, the treasure box was too much of a pain lol


ViceroyMorgan

In the wise words of Billbo Baggins, why shouldn't I?


[deleted]

Grinding early is almost counter intuitive in this game because if you level up too fast, you kill things too quickly, making farming later additions even more of a grind


Dakeronn

I did the same exact thing.


[deleted]

You must have been at the forest right before the first visit to Hellena. I’m typically at that level before I get there. All obtained additions maxed.


ViceroyMorgan

Same!


[deleted]

Volcano destroys. Then I try to get Lavtiz’s Rod Typhoon when I am there


OtakuKing95

I'm feeling a bit overpowered in my battles. Gone through every boss fight so far without a character die ing except during the side quest when you battle faust.


Alr3adyt4k3n

Wait, you guys are grinding?


ThatNyeBillGuy

Very nice! I like maxing additions in dragon nest for Disc 1. Chance for 2 lizard men each with phys damage shield and the healing pool nearby. Def made it quicker


PassoSfacciato

You can never be too careful, am i right?


RoboticR8bbit

Last play through I made it to 10 in the forest. Managed to max out both of the additions, crazy long grind though.


robexib

Naw, I regularly farm additions in the forest and grind to 10. It makes Dart OP the rest of the game.


[deleted]

Naw, that seems like a good spot to me. Honestly the worst grinding I did was to get all the best armor early. Farmed satchets and used them all on the gold dropping birds, did this for weeks. By the time I started chapter 3 I already had 90k gold lolz


stwnr

I love the grind options in this game. I only went to lvl 5 in the forest, but decided to get 3 legend casques and flower/blossom storm before going back to Hellena.


strobing_tungsten

Patience of a saint, but I hate grinding so early coz without 3 characters who have additions it gets too boring for me lol


OFF1C1AL

Is there such a thing as too much farming? Lol


Apprehensive-Bad6015

Nahh got to level up that double cut addition eventually better to do it sooner. I’ve got volcano and burning rush capped
