A helpful tip for levelling--Food Dungeons

[MESeele]

Once a character hits lv100, if they wish for a dungeon while equipped with a food item, the dungeon will be a single room with a 3x3 block of enemies twice the wisher's level.

Plop your attacker(s) by Zetta and buff both with 2 healers. Zetta will mirror the buffs to everything in the room, for an easy 4x Braveheart/Magic Boost on your attacker(s). Your goal is to wipe them in 1 turn anyway.

You can also combine the enemies to get a high level one with the comparatively low health of the combined components.

As for hitting lv100 in the first place, 3-4 is good for early levelling (just dump some guys into the castle to clean it out--the 1000 points for doing so give full bonus rewards, and bonus experience is granted to everyone out, including everyone in facilities).

The boring part is spelunking from there to 100 via free dungeons. Just make sure to have at least 1 guy not in a facility or vehicle who has gencies.

Also Carrots. Carrots are great. Use them as the base for everything. The +EXP passive is super helpful. I think +50% at lv50, and +80% at lv100.

It depends on the tier.

Tier 1/2 gets +10/20/30/40/50/60, Tier 3/4 gets +20/30/40/50/60/70 Tier 5/6 +30/40/50/60/70/80

Odd Tier learn/improve passives at Level 1/20/40/60/80/100
Even Tiers learn/improve passives Level 1/10/30/50/70/90

(That's the pattern for all classes who learn 2 passives, stat boosts just use +1-8 (in increments of 1) and Move/Jmp boosts use 2-20 (in increments of 2.5 rounded down) )

Also the OBing to gain levels and then resetting their HP is dependent on you giving them healing food after you OB everyone else)

Also if you're going to OB then you probably don't want to buff using Zetta you want to buff the attacker and target with the same buff spell to get your Combo chain up, which will substantially increase your damage.

A few other things:

-use chefs to feed high TEC foods to both your leveling character and the remaining enemies. This is supposed to boost your EXP gains. I think I used 4-6 chefs for this.
-To get said food, spawn 3 food marts on 1-1 and beat the stage. You should get 3 food items. Sell anything that isn’t Omlette, Beef stew, or rations. I can’t remember if bread and apples can work.
-if you’re looking to really power-level and can’t get enough damage, try and inflict the gamble status on the enemy. I used a vehicle with a skill to do it. With this, you should have a 50/50 shot to OHKO the guy. Warning: this may require a lot of resets.

The total XP multiplier cap is 5 000% , with a 900% cap on an individual (the multiplier effects both how much XP you give and how much XP you earn, it's the same with Mana and Mana multipliers)

The base is 100% , getting struck by an Academies invite attack increases it by 50% (as does being effected by an Academies protection effect for a Friendly), the person that food is used on gets a multiplier increase equal to the foods TEC value (or twice the TEC value if a Chef is the one doing the feeding).

Because of the 5 000, cap the optimal thing to do is feed 305 TEC worth of food to the attacker and target (with a chef) , which brings both their multipliers up to 710 (which gives a 5041% total multiplier).

However if you're going to try fully feeding 9 enemies it's more optimal there to get the attacker up to 900 (using 400 tech of food), get the primary target up to 560% (using 230 Tec of food) and then just get the rest of the enemies as high as possible (up to 560%).

(It's better to focus on maxing the attacker if you're trying to fully feed 2 or more enemies, because it becomes more food efficient at that point).

(All the XP increasing effects except +Exp only last for the duration of the map)

You guys remember so much more than I did. These comments are a super useful refresher. And I never really knew how passive skills grow the last couple stages after initially hitting tier 6 on a class. Thank a bunch!

The Gamefaqs FAQs and boards are still up and I have a copy of the old Double Jump guide, there's also this Japanese website ( https://web.archive.org/web/20111113094835/http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Dice/1349/pk/faq.html ) available through the Internet Archive that seems to have some information that either never made it into English or was misunderstood (the common wisdom about the minimum needed professor+lab level is off by about 200 levels (its 300 not 105)), you'll need to change your character encoding to SHIFT-JIS for it to work and the translation to kick in though)
