This article is a guide and may contain opinions or other subjective information. The PSUPedia is not responsible for any inaccuracies or mistakes. |
This guide is designed to be a resource for anyone trying to level their character. Currently the guide is imcomplete, so I hope anyone who benefit's from this guide can also contribute back to it to help it become more up to date, and fill in the gaps for good missions to level which may have been over looked.
The rewards for each mission are listed as not only exp factors into leveling. Cash and drops are a valuable resource and have been taken into account, so was MP. The exp values listed are not exact, but to give you an idea of aout how much experience you'll get from running through the mission once.
EXP Earning
When trying to level up it will be always faster to do it in a party instead of solo - providing you can tag most of the enemies. Also, when there is discrepancy of 31 levels or more between your character and the enemy the EXP earned will be reduced, the correct formula being:
EXP aquired = Original EXP x (30/level difference)

For new players that may not know the term, "Hot Spots," are missions with large rewards, or alluring rare drops which causes a portion of the population to gather there.
