Crafting at Base ★☆☆

Best Way: Catching Pals

Catching Pal

The most efficient way to gain experience is by catching Pals. When you catch a Pal, you earn experience points, and the amount of experience points you can earn increases with bonuses. You can catch 10 Pals until the Exp Bonus runs out.

Experience Point Bonuses Apply Across Species

The experience point bonuses based on the number of Pals captured apply across different species. If you have accumulated enough experience point bonuses, you can earn a large amount of experience points even by catching low-level Pals.

Boss Battles

Defeating bosses is also an effective way to level up. By defeating field bosses, you can earn a lot of experience points as well as obtain Ancient Technology Points and Ancient Civilization Components. Ancient Civilization Components are necessary for creating Egg Incubators and Pal Essence Condensers.

Tower Bosses Have No Dropped Loot

The bosses that combine characters and Pals in towers do not have any dropped loot. Although they have less appeal compared to field bosses, they're recommended for players just looking to level up through battles.

Crafting at the Base

Crafting

You can earn a small amount of experience points by crafting at the base. However, the amount obtained is minimal. So, it isn't recommended to repeatedly craft to level up.

Ability to Enhance Your Own Stats

Stat Enhancement

By leveling up, you can enhance your own stats. By improving your stats such as weight capacity and stamina, your gameplay experience will become more comfortable.

Increase in Pal's Level Cap

Pal's Level Cap

As the Player's level increases, the level cap for their Pal also increases, leading to enhanced skills.

If Pal's level is higher than your own, a level sync occurs and the level cap is forcibly lowered. Therefore, it is not possible to solely enhance the Pal and challenge bosses.

Earn Technology Points

Technology Points

Leveling up allows you to get Technology Points. With Technology Points, you can craft various items.

Leveling Up Mechanics

Experience Points are gained from all actions

Experience Points

Experience points can be earned through all activities. Therefore, the level gradually increases as the game progresses.

Battle Experience Points are gained by party members

Battle Experience Points

Party members gain battle experience points and experience points when capturing a party member. Therefore, it is recommended to have the party member you want to raise in your party and take action.

No need to participate in battles

Party members in your party gain experience points even if they do not participate in battles. Therefore, if you have a low-level party member, there is no need to force them into battles.

Base Party Members gain experience points from base actions

Experience Points

Pals working at the base gain experience points based on the actions performed at the base. Additionally, party members automatically gain experience points from actions performed at the base.

Stored Party Members do not gain experience points

Boxed Party Members

Party members stored in the box do not gain experience points. Therefore, if you want to raise a party member, either take them out of the box and put them in your party or let them take action at the base.

Experience point multiplier can be changed in the World Settings

World Settings

You can manipulate the experience point efficiency by changing the World Settings. The experience point efficiency can be increased up to 20 times, but depending on the multiplier, the game balance may be significantly disrupted, so consider carefully before setting it.

Settings can be changed later

The World Settings can be reconfigured by returning to the title screen and selecting "Change World Settings". Therefore, you can change the settings according to your progress.
