Metaphor: ReFantazio How to Instantly Level ANY Archetype & Insane Money Farming Strategy Full Guide

[@MSenseiHD]

***I have done a lot more testing today and there is something I want to add onto this video. If you want to get the most out of the Archetypal ring, you will have to go into the squad battles in order to receive the bonus. Its a small percentage so at the end of the day unless your trying to squeeze every bit of A-exp in each battle you can skip out on it completely. However if you actually jump into a lot of the fights with the stronger enemies that are also in the same dungeon you will see benefits to having it, especially if there isn't a better accessory in your inventory. I also tested on member in and outside of the party and this applies so you can have members who are not a member of the active team farming A-exp for you in squad battles.

[@NovaPhoenix9]

@MSenseiHD For the bigger enemies I completely agree, but with smaller ones is it worth the extra time?, and since you are testing, only the people with the ring equipped gest the bonus?, or do you need only MC with it?

In the Coliseum if you complete Bronze Ranked Stage, you get a hand armor that gives Luck +10, Archetypal Exp x 1.5. So combo this armor and the Archetypal Ring.

Just as a side note, it takes 12520 A-exp to max out a base tier Archetype, 29738 A-exp to max out an adept tier Archetype, 42293 A-exp to max out an elite tier Archetype, and 74014 A-exp to max out the "unique" archetypes of each character.

[@MSenseiHD]

Thatsssssss insane the unique archetypes are way too expensive in my opinion but hey I guess these were meant to grind in a NG+ run or something not sure because I haven’t gotten that far yet

[@Ryne91]

@@MSenseiHD Yeah, if you don't have a good place to grind and patience, maxing them out is a pain. I managed them all on my first playthrough, but not sure I'd recommend it.

[@SonicEdge7]

​@@Ryne91confirmation question: I know that Archetypes are locked on NG+, but they retain their level and the inherited skills unlocked. Does that also apply to your party members?

[@Ryne91]

@@SonicEdge7 yes, Archetype rank and unlocked inherited skills carry over with a single exception. Grius's archetype rank doesn't carry over at all. It applies to all other party members.

[@maglen69]

@@MSenseiHD The worst part about it? The intermediate classes are worse at rank 1 than the maxed out base classes, and they're just barely better when maxed out. So you start out weaker than you were before.

[@soli6026]

Another really good farm spot is only available after 9/26 (they also give good money as well): You unlock a dungeon called Disgraced Ruins to the north of Grand Trad when you accept a certain Bounty. Near the boss room are two mimics that respawn which can drop the Root version. Run over to kill them in the overworld or if you can’t, stun them, enter the fight and flee, after run to Plateau to enter Akademia return and repeat. It should take around 35 seconds if you can kill them in the overworld to do one run. To maximise chances, make sure the MC is on Ninja as it can increase the drop rate from a max of 2 to 4. Make sure to go when the weathers bad to increase Aexp and if your not super high level (I’d say above 75) it’s also very good for farming Hero’s Leaf of Light as roughly 3 runs should get a fully mastered archetype one level. The biggest bottleneck will be running out of Magla

[@MSenseiHD]

This is awesome a little spoiler but thanks a lot😅I will look out for this dungeon and since you mentioned it first I will make sure your in my credits for sharing the information. Look out for that video in the future if I end up making it

[@Codenuggy]

I did this last night, 2 characters I 100%ed their archetypes and everyone else I 100%ed their 2nd tiers along with their exclusive archetypes. Made sure to leave with 99 roots to get a headstart on the archetypes as the MAG comes in. Wish the MAG exchange worked both ways 😞

[@mb17181]

When does this meathod become available

[@KhangNguyen-ij4xh]

Not even. Cook a bunch of cursed ballad, then teach everyone Dealer. Just run up and down the dungeon siphoning magla from everything like a bandit. Each cursed love ballad would give out roughly 11000 magla each so the only true bottleneck is time

The final floor of the tower of blind faith there's a group of 30 skeletons I've been grinding like this I have most the archetype max

[@HDREconomist]

Also, so far, Ive found (at least for tier 2 archetypes) that once mastered they still generate a hero leaf for every 1000 AXP gained

[@MSenseiHD]

Thank you for sharing, I think they all will. I just use the lower tiers because I think they take less time to level or at least in theory I think they should compare to a tier three archetype like paladin. That thing takes so much experience to level to max it’s actually surprising

[@HDREconomist]

@MSenseiHD oh for sure getting a tier 1 archetype to master out of the gate is much faster, but if you're using your hero leafs to go from zero to master in an advanced archetype, then you're still using a mastered archetype. There is so much in here that is good, thank you for this video!

[@lethargicwizard]

It just processes overflow exp in batches of 1000 and gives you that back as a consumable. There's no shenanigans going on, it's a straight 1:1 conversion.

[@creaty2852]

Just a heads up, archetypal ring doesn’t stack by giving it to multiple characters. Also, it only works by equipping it on the main character. It also doesn’t work on overworld A-exp only for squad battles.

[@kingdomchain7997]

Thank you

[@Stardrifter404]

Didn't know this thanks.

[@halosskillz]

thank you. im glad i checked the video again to see if it stacked before buying a second ring. you're a lifesaver

[@Ryne91]

That's not actually true. The Archetypal Ring doesn't stack with Fortune's Grasp, but having either on each character is a good idea. I've tested it, believe it or not. The victory screen lists the A-exp that the MC earns, not the rest of the party, though it's usually the same. If he has the ring or gloves equipped, he'll get 1.5 times the A-exp that the rest of the party does. If they all have one of the two equipped, they will also get that amount. If you want to test it, it's pretty easy. You just have to note the A-exp needed in the Archetype details before and after a battle, along with the victory screen. Do it with and without the ring equipped and you'll see. You're 100% correct on the overworld part though.

[@Brother_James]

​​@@Ryne91Thank you for sharing this! It's a shame it doesn't work for the overworld battles though as that's where the most efficient grinding in the game is but I guess overworld battles are already easy and fast enough as it is.

[@sollty_potato]

Yeah u need courage 4 later. But it's not important coz u want the merchant archetype.

Yes you need courage for the later ranks but just to unlock her at the beginning of the game you only need wisdom lvl 2. I have a full video dedicated to the merchant talking about her in more details which is why I was brief here.

[@kevnosity]

The spire of blind faith has a really good farming spot! Go all the way to the top and kill all of the skeletons (they drop guilded cutlery to sell ) and then once all dead ,go to the save cat and go to Akademia then exit and the respawn the enemies . U get 22k per run plus goodies , plus heroes of light

[@MSenseiHD]

I get 30k from spire I already know about it and have a video up but thank you! I appreciate everyone coming through and giving good info there’s an even better farm but it’s super late game and I don’t know if I want to cover it or not with two large mimics

[@MadobeNanao]

Would you say it's better to grind there with bad weather or nullified weather?

[@scoopwoop1780]

There is a better spot in the dragon temple near the boss where you have 3 trance crystals instead of 2 plus it’s much more afk friendly. This spot is good during the mid game but once you get to the last dungeon before the boss there are 2 trance crystals that spawn high lvl enemies that give you tons of a-exp and normal exp along with mag and money of course. That is the best to way to farm however you cant leave the last dungeon so it’s good for people that are doing new game plus afterwards and who need to lvl up before the boss. Edit: you can also break those crystals in the last dungeon and when you leave the area or go to akademia they will respawn and everytime you break one it gives a jeweled root which gives 3k aexp

The explanatory is a bit scuffed, you don't us dark Knight not because of the amount of xp you need, because that is the same no matter what 1000xp for master level up and a leaf gives you 1000 but because it doesn't have a protagonist passive that would give you additional benefits like alchemy for merchant for the big bucks... or am i misunderstanding something? If it was just the do you could straight up do it with every archetype since you get the same amount from leaf as if your leveling them normally

[@MSenseiHD]

No that’s not what I meant. So what I was trying to explain was you never want to level up an archetype naturally. Is the way I think I should have put it. Meaning you are the dark knight and you are grinding each rank. A single rank for a unique archetype takes a lot of experience to Rank up. So it’s a lot faster to use a tier one archetype get it to master, farm the hero leaf of lights and use those to level up archetypes in the game. That’s the whole point of the video. Difficulty to explain to be honest but yeah. I don’t think a lot of y’all know because your new but… I’m from Japan 😅 I don’t English irl😂 only on KZbin but that’s my own personal problem. I’ll get better at explain things because I want my videos to be clear and help everyone. So it’s something I’m working on.

[@ChibiBlasphem]

​@@MSenseiHD Tthe only thing with doing it via hero leaf of lights, is that you have a mastered archetyped with all the skills and the stats it gives when fighting. But the rate of getting xp with a mastered Archetype via hero leaf of lights is the same as getting xp with a non-mastered archetype so in a way that's exactly the same thing (1000xp for a mastered archetype gives an hero leaf of lights).

Leaving this here for anybody who comes in the future, after hours of extensive testing: For people in Tyrants Star, here’s a comprehensive guide: For under level 78 Archetype EXP, go for the Golden and Silver big teeth that spawn from the two Meloncolia crystals. Best way to kill them at low level is Royal Masked Dancer / Persona Master and Destroyers / Royal Berserker. Systematic Destruction the golden tooth, Wanton the Silver one, full party charge. After level 78, one shot the fish. Break two of the three melancholia crystals. Only the north most crystal actually summons fish, so keep that one. Now, this part depends on the difficulty. On lower difficulties, it is fastest to kill them while using Seeker / Prince type weapons, due to the first attack being a fast poking attack that should one shot the fish on lower difficulties. On higher difficulties, one shotting the fish is harder. The fastest way to kill them now is to use Dragoon from a distance, it’ll take 3 shots if they notice you and one shot otherwise. Alternatively, knight also works quite well due to the long poking attack, and a couple one shot attacks. For under level 78 character exp, kill the fish activating squad battles without knocking them down first, just press triangle. You want all party members on Elemental Master, and use Junah, but not Heismay, the rest do not mind. Junah should move first, use Meteophor. On very low levels, this won’t one shot the fish, so just use a different fire attack to finish off the fish. Give Junah either Inferno Rod or Yggdrasil Rod, and the Overlords Sash. Also, equip ALL party members archetypes with Aim Support, else you will miss constantly. This part is important, HAVE AT LEAST 2 PARTY MEMBERS WHICH NULL / REPEL / DRAIN FIRE. Else on higher difficulties, if the fish ambushes you he can easily one shot your party. Easiest way to do this is Cardinal Dragon Robe. For over level 78 character exp, just insta kill the fishes in the same manor as post 78 archetype exp. Use Prince / Seeker on lower difficulties, Dragoon / Knight on higher. Other thing of note, if you are insta killing the fishes, only have your mc in the party. This reduces chances of breaking the melancholia crystal. If you do, walk into the “strong enemy” area behind you and then walk back. Don’t worry, it won’t trigger a fight, if you want the final boss to be as strong as possible, so you can safely do this and it will be faster then walking to Akademeia. Save every so often for safety, as on higher difficulties you can get sent far back. “Im not earning as much exp / aexp / mag as in the video” - 2 reason: Changes with difficulty and Changes with level. The higher level you are relative to the enemy, the less exp you will gain. This goes for squad battles and for insta kills. This works the same way with difficulty. I have maxed all characters level, maxed all characters archetypes and unlocked all skills for all characters using the above method on Regicide and Easy mode, when their is a difference between the two, it is noted.

[@MSenseiHD]

@ what is shinjuku? I beat the game and I don’t know what you mean by Shinjuku? If your under leveled you have until 10/26 to complete the avatar dungeon. Now I recommend. If you’re only level 61…. The places I would go to train are spire of blind faith top floor. Before the dragon. Scoundrels hold, Mt vulkano, disgraced ruins, manor of the ascendant, or really just train up a lot in the skybound avatar itself. When you get to tyrants star your trapped there so it’s gonna be all about farming whatever you can but those enemies are gonna hit hard and you will need to be in the high 70s and 80s to one shot them. The large teeth are gonna need level 91 to one shot. But that’s unnecessary in my opinion I beat the game at 90 and it was no struggle. I felt over leveled but I did unlock every single archetype in the game for the MC and mastered everything as well as unlock 60% of all archetypes for my other followers and mastered them all. So I had different options for teams and parties with inherited abilities. There is a tone of amazing items you can get. Like the fortune gods abacus that’s broken for merchant and tycoon archetypes. The berserker is also very broken if you have maxed him out and have a couple as well as high crit You don’t need to go that far but at least being in the 80-85 range will make the last boss more manageable. If I’m not mistaken he was lvl 89 .

[@MSenseiHD]

The fortune gods abacus is a rare item drop from one of the enemies that spawn from the crystal in the tyrants start. If you use the thief class and you have luckier find from the tycoon archetype you will be able to get it to drop for you.

[@rail7646]

honestly that method isn't really faster than directly leveling, maxing out costs 1k exp and gives you an item that nets 1k, this is true for every maxed archetype mastering leveling actually is way less exp than 19 to 20 so yeah, but surely merchant is way to go if you field slam enemies for money alone.

They don’t respawn in every dungeon the early dungeons when the red crystal is destroyed it’s gone for good but for some reason in the last dungeons just before the final boss you are able to go back to the gauntlet runner and go back into the zone and all red crystals are back to farm the jeweled root. The last dungeon was the only dungeon where I never had trouble farming red crystals.

[@MSenseiHD]

Well the ring is only gonna benefit you if you do squad battles and you will receive the ring at the 3rd main city of the game. As for getting overpowered or leveling early it depends on how much grinding you want to do in the early dungeons. Great areas you might want to farm exp at are gonna be, tradia desert for the bounty, imps den another bounty, the tower in brilehaven has two red crystals that are close together for farming. But most of the main dungeons have pretty good farming spots in them. Take the time out to relax and farm up a bit whenever you see the opportunity in my opinion so you can enjoy the game most at your own pace. Hope that helps? Let me know if you have more questions

[@Ztsakkeus]

OK let me clarify something. So i am using KNIGHT, it takes to level up at MAX 1000 AXP it turns into hero leaf light which gives 1000 AXP... so why not just run the PALADIN and level that up. Why? would you do extra work of moving the XP from farming to hero leaf light item. To suing the item to new archtepy.. There is no new XP earned, or new lost? its 0-0 sum game. Only thing you do is more work for your self from having to use the item from menus. Execption here being the merchant and tycoon who give MONEY when killing in overwords battle. Am i wrong? seems kinda useless help? unless you run merchant? edit: figured out, its about focusing the AXP...

[@cabl7787]

It's essentailly the same amount of exp. Even the higher archetypes only require 1000 exp to lvl up once mastered. The up side is that you'll be able to redirect all that exp to the single archetype you wanna level up afterwards. But yeah, time-wise, if your aim is to master every single archetype in the game, it's going to be the same

[@GuilhermePeragine]

that 1000 axp from the leaf can be used on any archetype, so it's more versatile, i think that's the point. and about the time waste on menu, you will lose just some seconds

[@awc_0236]

i understood it as, some classes level up in under 1000AXP, once those are mastered, you'll basically get a 1000AXP item, after only gaining lets say 800AXP. & you'll earn a shit ton of money if you personally use the merchant. But that may be incorrect.

[@Abyssionknight]

If you're just playing and levelling normally then you're right it's a waste of time. The value is that you can use those items to focus axp onto a single person, effectively giving them four times the axp gain. So if you realize you need a specific skill at a specific time, this lets you farm the axp needed much faster. Or if you've stored up these items, the moment you unlock a new archetype you're immediately going to get it to 20 on someone you want it on (and keep in mind mastering an archetype gives that character a permanent stat boost).

@@awc_0236using the merchant maxed out your right you get money items and the leaf .. so you gain more then trying to level up a archetype. Merchants give so many bonus!!! Yesterday I went from 40-60 easily and then I maxed out my protagonists archetypes so far… and I am doing the same with the other characters for now. I am in the Spyral temple next to the dragon temple I am loving it

[@MrKohulann30]

i love this game but i genuinely think it's ridiculous that you HAVE to do all this to have a shot at the endgame

[@MSenseiHD]

I was always over leveled like I tend to be in my Atlus games but yeah you have to keep up with your teams and master certain archetypes not all of them tho.. there are some specific ones that once you have them your good to go and dont really have to worry about much else. If you have a good faker and support character. the Berserker and summoner can completely carry you through the game. The Tycoon and Almighty damage is broken in this game as well.

[@MorantoQC]

Just an FYI, your party in the "red crystal farming" section contains a certain companion spoiler. No biggies but since you mentioned earlier not wanting to spoil an item, I thought I'd let you know :) Great vid !

[@MSenseiHD]

I was really more concerned about the story spoilers but great point. I should have covered that up too. I was trying to be very careful when navigating through menus and everything when editing. Missed that. I’ll just have to mention that moving forward because a lot of the best information I have to share is gonna be reveal a lot of the new party members 😭

Best is mimic late game you get the 3000xp versions

Late game? So these monsters are in a specific dungeon that I need to get to? I'm gonna be on the look out thanks a lot. When you say late game what month is it for you?

Lets not forget the item you get that gives you 1000 archetype exp

[@benchittanaphanh8889]

huuuh which one

[@SilentVinyl]

I guess none of you watched the wholw video as that item was mentioned

[@spadetheghost]

Crystals aren't the best way to grind. It's so much slower than just running through a forest area like the snow forest. Or running through the Spire of Faith or Tower of Insolence and just going into Academia or main entrance to respawn the mobs. You YT'ers stuck on them crystals and it's just such a trash way of grinding. Everything else is solid tho. But I'd recommend Thief lineage over Merchant. Merchant is cool to grind money but once you in the millions Assassin is better. You get way more items like the magla pills or sellable items or appraisal items. At one point I had 99 magla pills, accessory items and hero's leaf of light. Burned the leaves and got another stack of 99 in just one hour. Crystals ain't giving that kind of return on investment cause they spawn such weak mobs.

[@MSenseiHD]

I have no idea what other KZbinrs may be posting about because I play all of my games on my own at my own pace. However all my videos are my personal experience and how I grind in the game. I already have a video on the channel explaining everything about the imps den, the tradia desert and other amazing farming spots. This video was all about grinding for hero leaf of light. If you have a better strategy then feel free to share it with the community because it helps everyone.

[@spadetheghost]

@@MSenseiHD the ice forest is a better mid game spot to grind. Arguably, I'd wait til you unluck that to grind at all. However the Spire of Faith or Tower of Insolence are also good grinding spots. But if you go for the tower of Insolence I'd recommend farming it before the sky turns red vs after. Otherwise you'll need to be a MUCH higher level. Tower of Insolence basically is full of sub bosses but as regular mobs. And the ice forest has the tree monsters that drop a lot of a-exp and mag per kill. Merchant is okay if you really need or want the money. But once you get like $500k I'd switch to Thief/Assassin/Ninja for items while grinding. Items like magla pills or medicine, sellable items, rare equipment drops, elemental atk. They'll come in clutch for when you can't beat mobs in the overworld. And you'll still get money either way. Masked Dancer archetype is better than mage because it's recovers both HP and MP when you defeat mobs in the overwatch. But it restores a LOT of health per kill for whatever reason. And the overworld hit it does hits mob extremely hard as well. Once you get María to rank 7 it really won't matter what you do because her rank 7 passive is just that good. I'd recommend getting her leveled up over other followers first. Plus Healer is actually a pretty busted class and makes all the difference for later game fights. At least having access to the skills anyway

[@Theemptythroneistaken]

Money is useless at the halfway point of the game imo especially as by that point you would of unlocked the thief tree and got the skill lucky find.

[@MSenseiHD]

I actually buy everything and use a variety of items just for role playing fun and learning purposes so for me there’s still value but if your going for the best items only yeah I can see your point. I enjoy stocking up on money. Hopefully there is another 700k almighty igniter in ng+ so I can stack up on those for no reason😅

[@Phantom-vj1if]

Or just find config for cheat engine with Archetype EXP Multiplier.

[@creepyasgramdpa9916]

Another thing is if u max your archtype level if u keep leveling up, the u get a hero consumable which will further help level up your archtype.
