Leveling Guide

This article is a guide and may contain opinions or other subjective information. The PSUPedia is not responsible for any inaccuracies or mistakes.

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 about 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 acquired = Original EXP x (30/level difference)

Solo Leveling

Around 2000 exp per run. Takes 10 to 20 minutes. It may be a little hard for a fresh level 1 character but it's doable in 25 minutes. You should have no problem with 3 stars equipment. The Bal Soza techniques and Grass Assassin paralysis might pose a problem though.

Level 10+

Parum, Innocent Girl C

Around 18000 exp per run. Lots of mission points, Vivienne tagging along and the enemies' reduced HP make this mission one of the best to level up at this level range. With the use of traps, techniques and Vivienne you can level up from 1 to 10 in less than 10 minutes.

Guardians Colony, Dark Satellite C

Around 2000 to 2600 exp and 9 mission points per run. Best suited for Rangers if you have low level. A level 10 ranger should be able to do a run in 20 minutes. Some of the enemies might pose a threat so stock up on mates and antidotes.

Party Leveling

As the player populations is constitued mostly of higher level characters, it's recommended that you solo for the first 50 levels as it can get very hard to get a party together. At level 50+ you can easily find a party in hotspots.

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. Hot Spots are great for finding parties and making new friends. Ask for directions for either of the two in game if you need help finding it.

Leveling TECHNIC PA's

Attack TECHNICs:

I'd recommend watching this video. It shows an area in Sakura Blast that gives you an advantage to doing it fast. It also points out a few other locations that will work as well.

Buff TECHNICs:

Join a buff party. These are rooms where everyone stands at a recharge cube and constantly cast buff spells. Check White Beast (Neudaiz), or currently MAG+, and see if you can find one. The more people you can buff over and over, the faster you will gain photon experience and level your buff spells.

Debuff TECHNICs:

You should be a bit of a higher level to do this - you want to take 0 damage from level 15 enemies. Try Valley of Carnage C on Moatoob - run through block 1, and on block 2 you will enter an area with a recharge cube, and an open area with enemies. What you are looking for is 5 Vandas(?), that are normal or only with the defense buff. Walk into the middle, make sure you take 0 damage from hits and their fire blast (they won't Diga if you are close), and just cast away. One map does not have these, but it appears almost every other variant/spawn does. Once you’re out of PP, take 15 seconds to run back, recharge, and run back and cast again.
