Money Map question

[kryuzei]

It's been a while since I last played D5, but how important is money map for grinding? I vaguely remember that one step to grind max stat character involved some of it to a certain extent but I'm not sure

Some people used it exclusively, while others like myself never used the feature in the original.

Disgaea 5 has plenty of ways to grind even without Money Maps, particularly late-game. Things like Martial Training 5, the Asagi level using Pram, Metallia, and Salvatore together, the Unopened Soda Trick, or just using the farm to get stacks of Statisticians/Brokers/Managers.

This is not to mention subclass levelling, which is immensely easy to do by exploiting Raspberyl's evility Trash Pickup, or Valvatorez' ability Prinny Instructor and the Prinny Squad.

Isnt important, its optional for grindind at my eyes. If you look for some videos on YT you will get a better idea.

But believe me the game offers everything that money maps have to turn grinding that easy, the main thing with map editor i think its play the others peoples custom maps and make yours.

Definitely not. As I said, there's plenty of grind-easing stuff in the game itself, most notably the Cheat Shop, which allows you to reallocate your gains (i.e setting yourself to 0% Mana/Money gain and 300% Exp). By the time you complete the Land of Carnage story, you can have 500% gains on any one stat if you so choose.

In terms of grinding it depended on what you were grinding and when you were grinding, for example it gave you the option to farm max level shards as soon as you unlock carnage mode instead of waiting for you to grind your way through carnage gear to become strong enough to 20 star Loc monsters.

Aside from this it is the absolute fastest method of weapon/skill leveling. nothing comes even close to being as fast since you could control what geo panels were there such as stacking +1 attack and always counter along with +1 counter. This gives you 5 total attacks and an extra 4 counters (That triggered PER ATTACK) letting you take a weapon from level 1 to 100 in 1 turn.

It was also extremely good for mass subclass leveling, while digihuman is right there are other methods (Geoblast, trash pickup ect) they made you do it 1 character at a time (5 if you magichange 4 monsters onto them) but money maps let you very quickly max out as many characters as you wanted for a fraction of the time investment.

Thats for money maps anyway, Custom maps as a whole is also important because it added a much needed challenge for endgame players. Once you start really maxing out the hardest fight in the game is 20 star LoC baal, which even if you only have stats in the 40 million mark a proper set up with the right evilties will still let you clear that fight in 1 turn. Some custom maps on the ps4 however were extremely tough and challenging even if you had 40 characters with completely maxed stats because of the geo panel effects. This drasticly increased the longevity of the game and added ALOT to the value of the game.

Thanks guys! At least I don't need to worry that much if it isn't important for grinding

By time you complete LoC storyline you can have 1000% in any slot providing you also do the other extra stages like Asagi.

Money maps made things maxing out weapon masteries and skill slightly faster, other than that you're not missing anything. If you don't want to stick yourself in a corner of map 2-1 to do that grinding then you can attempt to find a favorable item world map to help you with it.

I personally always stick my units in the bottom left corner of 2-1 when I couldn't connect to online (I have it on the switch and am constantly leaving for errands). Only major difference is that it might take a couple of turns.
