Grinding areas, Lvling

[Teslacoil]

I'm doing ok with Episode 5 - 3 with the succubi/kitty invinsibility area but my guys are starting to slow down now, around lvl 40s. Anyone know of another good grinding area/s that are good/fast to do?

I found that high tier item boost bonuses give ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of exp for each char on field.

Two things you can do are

1. raise the monster level up 4 times then combine those kitties to level 99 (gives more XP than anything you will find for a long time (unless this has been fixed??? i dont know as a skiped this this time round)) o make sure you throw the purple one onto the green ones so they no long can heal.

2. grind the Item World for Statisticians placing and combining them onto an item every one can use, these guys improve your XP gain %. Just buy cheap items with Statistician on the for this.

I prefere option 2 as youll be doing this later on anyway for when you realy want to grind fast.

p.s im no pro so others might have better ideas :).

Lvl 99 enemy should still give exp like a lvl 300. I doubt they would remember to change that.

I think the best grinding areas are Episode 5-3, Episode 10-1, Episode 12-3 and 14-1.

Additionally, Cave of Ordeal 3 and the last after beating it all the times are good too.

You could always use the Dark Assembly to power up enemies, then continue grinding 5-3.

[Amorfide]

Dinero Palace - Flashy Passage (5-3)
Jotunheim - Absolute Zero (7-1)
Salamander's Breath - Scorching Wind (9-1)
Lunar Snowfield - Theatre of Death (10-1)
Sea of Gehenna - River of Lava (12-3)
Final - 1
Cave of Ordeals - 3
Beauty Castle - 2
Item World

Statisticians cap at 300... each. You can have multiple lvl 300 statisticians filling all spots on all items a character wears if you like.

stage 9-1 aka stellar graveyard valgipus iv. has a group of 3x3 mobs makeing it a nice spot to grind also there is cave of ordeals 3 witch also has a higher lv 3x3 mob with 50% exp boost.

I can't answer specifically, since I have no proof. But given how it worked to be that way, I would think it would be the same. The lv99 giving a lv300 exp thing was due to the equations and whatnot they used for exp. It just lined up that way. So, 'fixing' it would require prolly a lot of work.

I would love to see someone confirm this or not, though. It would be cool if that's still there. That's the only shortcut I've used, and I wanna use it again :p

the 99 trick is most likely still here, but there's sadly no level to really exploit it easily in Disgaea 1.
I prefer by far Valgypus IV for early leveling since it's much more straightforward.

If I remember correctly that's for later games only. In the first game it was 300 Statistician cap per character regardless of how many slots you fill with them

I've tested it. They don't stack multiples. That's from Disgaea 3 onwards.

Well, that's good to know. So I won't have to do as much work for the statisticians lol. So only 300 per character, not per equipment?

300 max per character.
As for trying to boost your level....beyond the lvl 99 monster = worth exp for a level 323 monster there's just 1 option BEFORE you go to the Land of Carnage/Cave of Ordeals and that's the Item World.
Considdering enemies can grow up to become level 9999 here (tier 24 Legendary Items) there's no better way to get HL, EXP, Innocents and Gear. Besides; it will take you a while to get to area 100 to defeat the item God to get those legendary weapons anyways (can only be done by Stealing the gear from an Item God on a tier 23 Item World) but you'll be far beyond level 40 by then :P

p.s. I say before LoC/CoO but naturally you'll frequent the Item world between those area's too so LoC/CoO will actually be Post-Content before you go Top Tier Legendary Item World diving.

Woops. Been so long since I played the first game. Sorry about the misinformation.
