NieR: Automata - Early Leveling guide Lvl 5 to 40+ & Material/ Chip farm

[@esoel]

@@Kaies109 I didn’t know, is it any good?

[@Kaies109]

@@esoel if you’re talking about replicant ver 1.22, then yeah it’s a prequel to automata and it’s a remake of the 2010 game Nier Gestalt/Replicant. The game is super good and is one of my top 5 favorite JRPGs of all time. If you happened to talk about the mobile game Nier reincarnation, then it’s a gacha game that’s a sequel to Nier automata but doesn’t really have any references to the previous stories.

I just started playing this game, and I have so many questions and keep getting hung-up/lost, but it's hard to find exactly what I need because of how dedicated the content creators are at avoiding anything that'd involve spoilers, and because I'm trying my best to get guides like these without having to give in and get some things spoiled (but it honestly wouldn't be a huge deal if anything did get spoiled because I'd still have a blast playing anyway). So this was a nice little nugget that I needed! Thank you 🤘🏻

July 2019. Put on easy mode, equip the auto evade, attack, etc. Went from level 17 to 99 while I sleep 6-7 hours. I checked it when I woke up and it was at level 98. Within a minute, it turned level 99. Perfect timing, woot!

Open taskmanager, (Ctrl-Shift-Esc), right click on Nier, Details, Affinity and disable half of your processor cores. Set the game to full screen again.
