what to do on off days?

[HouNDDoG]

Hi, I'm new to this type of game(persona style) and a bit worried I'm missing something. I'm at the beginning and just unlocked free time to do stuff during the days/nights before I do the first story mission. So I did 3 side missions, all I could find, now I have free days, am I suppose to just do those attribute raising things? I'm not seeing any more side quests or anything to do but I don't wanna miss anything important. Thanks.

any day you aren't in a dungeon you should be using to:

1)increasing your social links, by spending time with your partners
2)increasing your personality traits, via the various symbols around town or your ship
3)if absolutely nothing else you can do, then you can worry about your combat stats

I basically just prioritize side quests and do whatever social links are available on any given day, and when there aren't any of those I just build virtues at an even pace.

I generally prioritise activities in this order:
Main Dungeon > Social Links (followers) > Traits (Royal Aspects) > Other (Side Quests, stat boosts, fishing, etc.).

I also like to do the current main dungeon as soon as possible, and commit to doing it in a single day (same with side dungeons). Pro-tip for doing dungeons in a single day: There's a certain archetype (Mage) that you can equip on the protag that can be used to regain mp if you run out. It's a bit tedious, and requires you to be at least a few levels above some of the enemies, but it's free mp and can let you stay in a dungeon theoretically forever.

Isn't there a deadline for the cathedral quest? I think that took me about 4-5 nights so make sure you have about that left before you start it

Ooops, well I just started it with 3 days to go. Hope I can finish it in time?

Can I dungeons like soon as their available and still do the side stuff after or does it advance story when you complete the main dungeon?

You know there is a button you can press to bring up a screen that shows you percentages of what other players chose to do on that day? Very helpful in deciding what to do.

I find I never have enough time to do everything I'd like to before the next deadline, which I'm sure is by design.

You raise up your virtues, which allows you to raise up your social links, which unlocks a ton of extremely useful abilities and new archetypes. If you find yourself with no social links to train, no virtues that need leveling and no quests to do, check the town maps for exclamation points as this indicates another quest you haven't done. There's a ton of stuff you can do on the grid runner. Planting seeds, fishing, sleeping in the bathtub (if you buy the various salts which increase your stats.) Some of the social link segments can only be done in the grid runner, Neuras in particular. Another one I forgot about for a while is the tournament. That offers some decent rewards and can boost your popularity rank depending on where you're at in the game. There should always still be something for you to do. And be sure to check the calendar and keep track of Idlesday, when everything goes on sale.

For me, grinding social stats.

my advice? do the side stuff, focus on link levels, social stats..then...you should be good to take out the main target in a single day. Some folks say it took them awhile but you can EASILY do it in one day if you do other stuff first. I managed it second day after getting the deadline its only easier from then on. Use mage archetype to restore mp on lower floors and leave one red crystal alive to farm more. Some social links require higher stats, but you can focus on those.

Eat the meat skewers for free in the market outside the cathedral at night. Boost your stats with cooking, old man, and activist. Wait to shop till idlesday for sales. You want tolerance at the least to level one important link. Don't be afraid of the main dungeon. The big boss early on you get a full restore before you fight, and the fight before it is just tedious, not hard.

oh and when you get your transportation shower every day you can except idlesday. Every idlesday you can you need to use the bathroom to take a dump. It sounds dumb but you get permanent stat ups for taking a dump on that day.

Wow, so the Washroom stat boost is repeatable every Idlesday?
