Leveling and You!

Let's start this off to say this is mainly for new players, and some old.
Leveling is subjective there is no right or wrong way.
Being said only wrong way is you sitting in the lobby not doing anything, so stop being lazy!
This is meant to give you an easier, and faster time for 1-80
Also yes, if you do this on a EXP week it'll be faster but doesn't mean you have too!


Towards the Future aka TTF
EP1 >VR > Towards the Future

TTF is a simple boss rush.
Clear some rooms, then a boss, simple.
Now I'd only suggest this if you can do the bosses.
if you don't have the gear, and they take too long.
Then it isn't worth doing it.
Being said do the bosses you can, I'd say doing up to Vol Opt is reasonable.
Dark Falz takes too long if not on Normal or geared, and last 10 levels of that difficulty.
Dragon resets are common also. Which you have to do on Play Mode "Normal", not "One Person" for more Exp.

CAL's Clock Challenge aka CCC
EP2 > Extermination > CAL's Clock Challenge

If you have Hell Needle/Shot, V502, Dex mag 100+, maybe 2 Heavenly/Arms, plus a Exp week/Event would help.
You do the first 2 rooms and reset.
Having runs 1-80, in 2-3 hours is good, and have seen low 2 hour runs.
Now this does cost 100 PDs+ which isn't new player friendly.
So can't suggest this for everyone.

New Mop-Up Operation #3 aka NMU3
EP 4 >Extermination > New Mop- Up Operation #3

I used to hate this quest.
those heat rooms use to make me dislike it a lot.
then I tried it solo power leveling 9 or so FOnewms.
Have to say, after you get it down you get 1-80 in about 3-4 hours easy.
You will need 30+ HP mats/Heavenly/HPs suggest more of the HP mats.
Mind mag, 29 techs and mind materials.
The mindless tech spam become pretty fun, after you get use to not dying lol.
Also of note you can use RAmarl with with Divine Punishment Heaven Punisher/Striker Coat.
I haven't tried it for leveling but hear it is an option.

Warrior's Pride
EP4 > Side Story > Warrior's Pride

It's a straightforward quest to just kill stuff, with best EXP rates.
If you want a more relaxing time with 2 NPCs face tanking monsters for you.
You're in luck, Ash and Bernie are your men, as long you hit the enemies once.
As long as you have Resta, and you aren't a Cast this is an easy quest.
Worst thing you deal with on this quest are, Dorphon, Zu, Astarks.
Easy quest, as long you can take a hit from these, and heal your teammates.

Towards the Future aka TTF
EP1 > VR > Towards the Future

If you're in a consistent group that can clear it, great!
Or if even only up to Vol Opt this is fine also!
Just do as much as you can!
But if you're waiting around 5-10 minutes to only get 1 person.
You'd be better off doing it solo and clearing it quicker.

New Mop-Up Operation #3 aka NMU3
EP 4 >Extermination > New Mop- Up Operation #3

I've play around it some in a group. Wasn't fully trying to speed run it.
Having extra people to have resta to watch each other, does make it a lot easier.
Still one of the faster quests after you get use too it.
I'd say you need less gear/materials compared to doing it solo. Does help so not too carried.

Maximum Attack
EP4 > Maximum Attack >Maximum Attack 4th Stage -4?-

I'd Maximum Attack 4th Stage -4B-
The start of all of the Max Attack quests are very nice to reset after 5-6 waves.
Rooms with quicksand to a pit can be a bad time with spawns.
Since EP4 has the best exp, even if you only do the surface area of these quests.
Bluefull has an amazing VH drop table, plus they fixed the ZU drop spawns which is big.
It'll be fast leveling.

Towards the Future aka TTF
EP1 > VR > Towards the Future

For Non-Force this is easy and great.
Only issue is keeping your carry alive.
If anything, just res them before the boss is dead.

New Mop-Up Operation #3 aka NMU3
EP 4 >Extermination > New Mop- Up Operation #3

So, I will say you can do this just fine
I personally do not like it.
Having to babysit the person you're leveling since the heat rooms make it feel worse.
You might be able to leave them back a bit since they'll still gain exp.
But I never fully tested enough to care.
I've noticed most exp gain is cut off based on any portal, teleports, warp pads.
Still would be one of the fastest ways.
Using a high level RAmarl with Divine Punishment or Force with Tech spam.

Maximum Attack
EP4 > Maximum Attack >Maximum Attack 4th Stage -4?-

I do Maximum Attack 4th Stage -4B-
If you have a Force, let's say 120ish +
Then it's a pretty easy time to just spam techs and move on
Have your carry sit back to not die to stuff.
More gear the better for you, things to reduces your TP consumption are a must.
I mainly like to do the Creator, unless I have a way to deal with Girtablulu.
Having Demons or a way paralyze the Girtablulu.
Then doing Desert becomes more reasonable.
On a Exp week, I leveled 2 alts for other people 1-80, in roughly 7-8 hours which isn't bad.


Cookie Runs
EP4 > Halloween > Halloween Wasteland: Desert
If you want the fastest way to level in the whole game, this is it.

More for people that play during Halloween and or have 64+ PDs around for 4 PD cookies, you need about 14-16.
Exp, drops rare spawns everything on these quests is maxed out the highest you get anymore.
You will need a carry force, or a group of 4 competently geared, plus Demons.
Normal - Very Hard will take roughly around 1-hour crazy right?



Look at the drop table, find what you'd think you can do with your gear.
Just find quests with a large amount of the enemy that you want.
This also all depends on your ID
Things that are worth saying you can farm for early on....
Also, the weapons have a lower chance to drop with hit on them, on lower difficulty.
But that doesn't mean it's 0!


Normal
Gilchic/
Gilchich

S-Parts ver2.01
Drop Rate: 1⁄10638.96
6/10 IDs have it.

Hard
Purplenum
Caves has 2 M&A60 Vise drops.

Very Hard
Bluefull
Caves has 4 Vjaya drops.
CCC has 8 Vjaya drops between first 2 areas.
EP4 drops are crazy.
2 PC drops, Ignition Cloak, Heavenly/Arms
Heaven striker Coat, Congel Cloak, Select Cloak
Rappy's Beak, Vjaya.
By far my favorite ID to level in worth pure PD profit/usefulness.
These are meant to be more of an example.

Closing time!
If someone is new to the game, I'd rather them just have fun doing whatever they want.
Yes, events are always some of the best options whenever around.
Just do whatever you can do that's more consistent, or for drops.
Having more gear does make this quicker for anyone, but not everyone has it.
Most of these are from my experience.
If I get around to stop being lazy, I'll try to update this with exp rates and a video or two.
I think having a better way to level, then to tell someone go do "TTF" to level and watch them suffer is good.
I've love to hear everyone's ideas for faster leveling!
PS. If you can make quests make a better quest for hunters ;3 They have the hardest time lol.
PS PS don't feel like you have to rush level saving up for materials and a mag is big

Nice guide! I’m sure lots of n00bs appreciate you taking the time to make this for em.

A couple of things I would suggest and that I usually tell n00bs is:
  • Ep 4 is always fastest
  • You can do SU12 instead of NMU3 (I personally prefer this cause of the heat rooms like you mentioned)
  • Always consider making an alt account that is a FO and using it to level yourself using Dual Clienting (which is allowed as the game senses it and turns off drops for the second client) if you do this it’s quite literally the fastest way to level and you can 1-80 in about 3 hours during exp week
  • And finally please DO powerlevel. Normal - very hard are MOSTLY a huge waste of time lol, i can’t even count the number of players PSO fails to retain because they get bored somewhere in the grind and just quit lol. (Before they even get the CHANCE to find anything cool)
  • Also for the drops area consider adding CCC white for DoB in VH

Thanks, I'll add some into it once I try out SU12, honestly forget the quest lol.
I never been big on Dual Clienting this game, but I can see the upside mainly for leveling hunter lol. I have like 6 more HUcast to lvl lol.
It is also another requirement of PDs, being said if you do play solo more often better overall Idea for that account.
I agree, anyone new to PSO, that isn't coming from DC/GC/Xbox don't notice how much the game doesn't hand hold and fall off from playing after even playing though normal.
Reason didn't make this more for endgame is just since without a crafting system, or a reward system most people won't find anything amazing without super good luck.
This game is very self-goal oriented, like I've been hunting a 60+ DoB for almost 1 year now straight every day, without luck.

Yeah it’s pretty good and you can avoid killing a n00b over and over and having to res them

Yes it saves lots and lots of time and it’s great for new players without a lot of toons because you essentially get a “free” FO out of the process since you are leveling 2 at once.
It is also another requirement of PDs, being said if you do play solo more often better overall Idea for that account.
Yeah you might need some gear but for the most part you will just need the techs and can just cast barehanded.
I agree, anyone new to PSO, that isn't coming from DC/GC/Xbox don't notice how much the game doesn't hand hold and fall off from playing after even playing though normal.
Yeah a lot of people join out of nostalgia and then see how dead normal-very hard is that they probably think the whole game will be that way. If you try to solo and don’t powerlevel through those parts it’s quite hard and you run out of money a lot too so it makes the game seem hardcore which is ironic because the game because very very easy in ultimate and gives them a bad representation of what the actual endgame and active player base is like.

Yeah… I’ve seen 9 HP drop in my games but 0 for me. One time a Torr dropped 2 at once… LOL. This is the only game I’ve played for like 7 years now xD

After I finished my last post I had a couple more things to add about leveling too:
  • Endless episode 1/2 are very fun quests and provide a lot of XP as well as boss fights so may be slightly faster than TTF while being more fun and less monotonous however they are considerably slower than episode 4 leveling still
  • White in episode 4 drops a lot of DoB as well
  • Hunting HSC can be highly profitable because it’s always in high demand and sells for a lot so if you commit to hunting HSC you can make a lot of money BUT this is entirely dependent on the market
 
You remember that 5/45/150/0 Striker Unit you sold to me recently?

...Its working XD. BTH runs with my upcoming RAmar army have been very succesful. Costs a penny and doesn't drop anything, but the speed is close enough to other methods while being mindless enough to, like, watch a vid at the side or something.

How do you "Dual Clienting" ?
I wanted to try after reading your message but I get disconnected when I log in with the second window

can you confirm I need a second email/ephinea ID ?

Far as I know yes, you will need 2nd email and ephinea ID for it. But you can't use it too double farm for items, but to power level alts is good far as I know.

Yeah. It’s mainly for leveling BUT you can also dual client and basically use a FO mapped to similar shit as a RA and control 2 characters at once. It can be quite fun and challenging actually lol (I plan on making a dedicated thread about this sometime with videos). You can also use it to make a game with that alts ID if you need it and just use them to SD or w/e too. And after you’re done leveling you will essentially have a “free” leveled FO outve it
