Do characters rank up separately from the account?

That also means you’re fighting S & Z ranks so you still have to work for your wins

Damn I suspected this was the case but I had no idea it was that easy 😭

I think most with the high levels were at least on the second playthrough, you can change the exp you get in the difficulty to "more" and it's a big jump.

Other than that it is prob just grinding and going for level up cards in shuffle time

Just try to put Growth 3 or at least Growth 2 in your Persona (with luck you could upgrade it to Growth 3 in Shuffle time). Then just grind , Magatsu Inaba is a good place because the Glorious Hands that spawn in groups there. Always try to have a Persona that could defeat those hands with mind charge and has some nice almighty attack or Yoshitsune with hassou tobi, the point is to do the most damage in the less time possible to prevent them to escape ....then keep grinding

buddy you need to fuse demons a lot, you don't need a level 100 Izanagi. You can exchange moves from other personas.

I just grinded for hours on end, over, and over, and over, and over, so on and so forth, etc.

I actually grinded out JP Up on all my characters in chapter 2, it just depends on if there's a skill I want.

Swap jobs. The game has the massive JP spike to kind of soft cap job levels. It's the game's way of forcing you to switch up your team without actively forcing it since the amount of JP needed to get from 9 to 10 could have gotten you two more jobs to 9. As for what to swap with, probably something that synergizes well with what you're swapping off of. For example if you were a Spell Fencer swap to something like Ranger or Pirate to add elemental damage to your physical DPS, or if swapping from White Mage consider Performer or Salve Maker to add utility and buffs to your healer.

Generally, I get a handful of jobs to level 9 per character. Not huge amounts but around 3-5 at least I'd say. Having a lot of level 9 jobs gives you a whole lot more choices for job and subjob combos, as well as passives, going forwards - which is great for if you get stuck on a boss. it also let's you experiment with more jobs and that might help you decide which jobs you most want to push up in level once JP gains improve.

In Chapter 4, JP increases a decent amount and it starts becoming viable to push for level 10 and above, or you can continue pushing up a few more jobs to level 9 if you prefer (particularly the new jobs you get in chapter 4). Chapter 5 they increase again and it becomes quite easy to level to 10 and beyond.

It’s a soft cap to encourage you to use other jobs if you haven’t already. Don’t be disheartened, you’ll be earning 999 JP per farming fight in no time and blasting through those levels.

The game is telling you it’s time to swap jobs.

You don't need to grind in Octopath until the very end of the game. Just use the same party for every mission only switching in the character you need for it. You will be overleveled by the end.

As a general rule of thumb, if you play without evasive maneuvers, you can just go straight through all the chapters without stopping. You don't need to grind at all so long as you keep your gear up to date, as your gear increases your power more than your levels do, and the way the XP gains are designed makes it so that if you're underleveled in a zone and you're surviving, you won't be underleveled for long.

If you play with evasive maneuvers, you'll want to do side content, meaning quests and optional dungeons.

Why do you have a “main” team to begin with?

Dont forget to steal evrything with Throne thats how you will have almost the best gear. You have some skill to help you xp too, with Throne Life in the Shadows and with Osvald Extra Experience.

Later you can do the caits and octopuffs farm with some items use to have a better spawn for this ennemy.

Which 4 are you using and what sub jobs ?

So I'm in a weird state and I appreciate this data dump.

I'm in ng++ trying for all 3 endings in a single playthrough. I have nearly all (except advanced) over or at 60. Near level like 300? I think maybe higher, to break up the monotony of plowing through the main game again I've decided to dive into the boss rematches and ooo boy. I've got the first two down and they already felt like such a challenge.

Should I wait till I have my +2 frame? I think it's the 350 which is fairly late game.

Been working my way through the difficulties and have cleared level 5 for all base game bosses as well as Markiona (working on the Overseer right now).

Nameless Puppet level 5 was pretty much only doable for me by pulling out every trick in the book and using shock and acid throwables. They really make a big difference, especially if you committed the P-Organ upgrades for buffing their damage.

Scared shitless for level 5 Arlecchino without Lea backup but I'll figure something out.

No problem!

I just figured it would be helpful for someone because I remember when Boss Rematch dropped, I immediately tried Scrapped Watchman at Level 3 and was like, "Oh my God, why does he hit so hard?"

I've finally worked my way to having all the badges using a P-Organ Stage 7 character Monad's Rose Sword and the Perfect Guard grindstone for most of them. The setup is so strong it's borderline cheese, and I still struggled on a good few of them. It's not just that everyone and everything hits like a freight train, the bosses also have such huge health pools.

The notable exception I felt to this was the Black Rabbit Brotherhood. Even on level 5 I didn't feel the Eldest had that much health, and neither did his younger siblings. Those 2 fights were the easiest of the level 5 rematches to me.

Thank you for taking the time to write this up.

I haven't cleared everyone at level 5 yet. Parade Master through BRB, and Arlecchino. I have Parade Master, Murphy, and Arlecchino on my bag. I call it the Mustache Club.

My NG+5 and level 5 BRB fights I've found it helpful to get rid of the youngest. After she leaves I was able to take down the oldest with little interference from the other two.

At that point the best way to grind is to fight a lot of monsters in the junkyard

Are you unda da wata yet?

Don’t skip areas like Orange Oasis. It’s not the most lore relevant place but it’s got fun stuff and it’s a chance to face new enemies and grind xp. Also, don’t run from battles unless you need to. Keep fighting the enemies in an area until they’re no longer a challenge.

I did all of that and I haven’t died once yet, beat every boss in one try including Humphrey. (Currently in Black Space)

Ah okay great thanks ! How does the ranking system work? Do they have to be the same character to be able to level them - I’ve been using auto ranking up until now but I worry that’s not the best way to do it ? :)

There is no quick way, there is only the grind.

• Run the weekend character granting event missions non stop for faction specific food.
• Run Train and Gain non stop for Blue XP.
• Run Downtown Destruction non stop for Pink XP.
• Run Turning up the Heat non stop for Gold

Save gems for dossiers, and spend bule dossiers on characters you are building.
Only buy when you have enough dossiers or DNA to buy out the store, never trust in luck.

Money

💰💰💰

That's the neat part - you don't.

Its an idle game. You get xp and money over time

As for the shop, right now the only extra-rare purples available are shapesmith and Cecil. Robot is pretty strong, so he's usually a priority

But at your level, pretty much anything helps. No need to be picky

"Here my friends, nutritious xp" - lvl 99 Makoto spamming Armageddon in Monad

Well in your case it would be a NG ++++++++++++.

I love P3's tutorial. Just because it doesn't drag on forever (AHEM P5)

Gotta hang out with my Unicorn until the compendium unlocks.

WoW you managed to get x2 invincible at 5 star

Make multiple teams with good synergy:

Team A(main team): strongest

Team B

Team C

Team D

Team E

Team F: weakest

They can be all criminal, all worlds beyond, or long ranged characters for short ops

Keep everyone at level 159 or above and prioritize Downtown Destruction and Train and Gain for special XO and regular XP

Chose one character(like Invincible) to bring to omnipotent and prioritize resources on
