Capital farming ? EDIT: Multiple ways found through tips below.

[Dark_D_Shadow]

Does anybody know ways to farm captital ?
I've done a lot of missions now and I've never gotten more then 13000 capital from one mission is this normal ?

I don't mind grinding but this looks like it is a bit much or is it a normal amount ???

Edit:
Thanks for the info everyone, capturing units seems to be a good one and short missions on hard or Extra seem good as well.

Doing missions on harder settings will give more. Also picking one with a lot of capturable units will help add up the income.

So between 10K and 13K is the normal amount to earn on normal difficulty ?

I kinda want to farm gold for better ships and here is what I've found.
Basically you keep playing IBO first stage extra diff for 5 rushing things then you go do the dispatch for the one with the biggest gold reward and rush it using the rush things and rinse and repeat viola money.

Thanks that sounds lucrative :P

So far I've been using the final mission of X Astray. The secret requirements are easy (just kill 9 dudes before the 2 guys on the other map fight 3 times), and 2 battleships with 3 units exist, with 2 more battleships with 3 more units arriving after you do the first objective.
Hit a battle ship = Their units come out next turn.
Break the battle ship after that = The units that were in there surrender.
Bring your ship to them = You capture them.
After that, just turn them to cash in the captures menu.
While doing all of that, make sure you have a dispatched team doing quests to get more money.
(If you haven't finished X Astray yet I recommend it because it unlocks ReHome, a good space/atmosphere battheship that costs only like 420K)

And yea, money is always slow to come by in these games, but that adds to the challenge. Without grinding in overworld, I needed like 20 hours to be able to afford another ship. The one I'm gunning for right now is 700K which feels like its gonna take forever, but I'll prolly get all of that just by finishing one of the longer campaigns

Yeah gotta get there first haha, I'm just glad my game ain't bugged because I really thought I was earning too little haha.

the iron blooded orphan Mission seem like they're the easiest to farm
its good to farm if you're not using beam weapons

[SageOfTheFloatingFingers]

The first stage of Trailblazer at Extra Difficulty is extremely easy with the story mission units but it takes awhile to beat, there's maybe 80-90 enemies and I get around 83K Capital each time I do it.

[Dark_D_Shadow]

I'm gonna try that IBO first mission farm.

[Nyarlathotep]

Don't mess with the Trailblazer stages unless your team is somewhat good. The last stage is the best farm by far, but if you can't one shot the ELS, each time the little ones hit you they'll turn into ELS GN-X IVs! The big ones turn into ELS Baikals. Either way, they're much harder to kill, so if you can't clean them out efficiently, things can quickly get out of hand

[Dark_D_Shadow]

Well I tried the Extra Difficulty IBO Mission... I think I need a little bit more strong units.. My increase dodge rate build is useless on Extra they never miss...

Edit:
Actually what is the best stat to pump points into on level up ?

[Selphares]

IBO is ok on Hard too at leats at the start. The units still die decently and you get about 3 speed ups and 15.000 Credits. Card can be done in around 15 Minutes propably way faster with the right units. Tougher one of curse gives more.

[Village Idiot]

For IBO Mission 1, you need to have some units with non-beam attacks to take care of the Grazes due to Nanolamanite Armor negating 3.5k beam damage.

Unlike SRW, this includes melee beam weapons.

As long as you have some non-beam weapon units you're okay. The ones stuck with beam weapons can still be used to clear away the Mobile Workers which doesn't have Nanolamanite Armor.

Everyone is still trying to explore the best areas to farm money. I've only done SEED at the moment and the final mission of SEED has sooooooo much capture-able MS that you can rake up at least over 150k if you capture every Dagger and Ginn. The mission itself if you have strong enough units will take roughly 20-30 minutes.

I just literally push forward, ignore any MS that are sortied from ships and destroy everything else. The mission itself on Normal gives 25k for completing and adding up all the kills would add about another 20-25k.

Do the IBO 2nd mission! Free captures :D
