When should I recruit new crewmates?

[Suzaku]

I've completed the game, and recruited 2 characters; one early on and one later. I noticed that the second one I recruited had nearly half their mastery tree filled out, which saves a ton of MSP.

I was wondering if I should continue to hold off recruiting, or are they basically as good as they'll get regardless of when I recruit at this point?

Clear Ch.0 and unlock the characters to get them all to lvl60.

Is it up to 60 only? I assumed it would be 100.

I've heard it's LV60 at max but I could possibly be wrong?

Just got my whole character roster to 100. Summoned a crewmate and it came in at lvl60. So, yes, 60 is the cap unfortunately....put your grind pants back on -_-

Looking at what's available, it seems like recruiting at my current level (my best being level 70 and ~4800 power) will recruit characters at level 45 with a level 50 weapon. I guess I'll keep pushing with what I have for now and see if those values change as I continue to level up.

Interesting, yea let me know. I gotta do more testing with that myself when I can.

Update: Now that I advanced far enough to unlock Maniac difficulty, I went and recruited the rest of my fellow skyfarers. They come at level 60, with a level 50 weapon, are at ~5k-5.2k power, and ~65% of their offense/defense masteries filled out.

Not sure how intense late-game farming can get, but I think I saved a lot of grinding by waiting and recruiting 10 people now instead of earlier.

Honestly depending on what you wanna do, it's actually better to not unlock crewmates you don't want to use until after farming the final online mission for 6th weapons. Only characters you unlocked are in the drop pool supposedly.

......... crap.

Yeah. I'm not positive it really works that way though. They really dropped the ball with these weapons. It's like "hey, heres 99 quests you probably won't have to do more than once and then the 100th quest you have to do on average 190 times. Oh also it's a boring scripted fight thats easier than everything before it."

Relevant but I don't know if this is a glitch or intentional or not but I found a faster way to get MSP. I have two side quests in folca that reappear after completion as long as I load the zone (by coming back from a quest or reloading a save). They each give 758 MSP and only take 5 of 2 of the lowest tier of elemental shard. If you stock up on one persons you can just turn in the side quest, save, quit to menu, load the save, repeat for like 2k+ MSP per minute.

I feel like these weren't here before proud difficulty. They also give a lot of money and some xp to the whole party.

Actually, you do not have to reload or do a quest. Checking Lyria's journal in the menu and then exiting the journal reloads your instance, refreshing those quests. They unlock once you have completed all other side quests in the area.
