Persona 3 Reload: EASY Money and EXP farming guide

[@mroxkral7276]

Persona, the franchise where your eternal punishment is bankruptcy

[@jackshanahan9897]

I always had these glitch methods. In persona 5 royal I think they had patched reaper farming but i just ran over low levels in flu season or whatever it was called. In persona 4 I literally downloaded an old patch so that i could do gold hand manipulation. So persona 3 reload is my first game being broke. Thankfully i am a GAMER and will spend copius amounts of time doing this gold hand farm.

[@timothyspencer5055]

MAN ONG IM SO SALTY

[@marloguiang-pr9yu]

I usually farm money by getting the money card from every encounter. Money is crucial when it comes to increasing Social Stats

[@e3vL1]

Pro tip: before opening the gate/barrier to the next section... Get fortune teller common gold enemy appearance at night club. Start at 15-20 floors below gate. Keep skipping floors until you see gold enemy icon on map. Battle it then skip floor, repeat until you reach the gate. Go back to floor 1, and repeat to get easy money and exp

[@KDThreeSixty]

I see you are a disgaea 3 fan as well. Good taste brother

[@revyreigns1718]

The easiest way to farm is through the dlc personal. Use vanadium on easiest difficulty (peaceful). Get to where reaper invades(floor 61+), then fight hom. Use Vanadis aoe for double hit with crit, and whenever team is alive, debuff reaper. The team should be Yukari, mitsuru, and akihiko. First time takes like 20 to 3 mins with constant revive mechanic on peaceful difficulty. Best done with arcana burst and select xp boost when he dies for 638k exp and you'll level quick to 70-80. Reaper drops bloody button, which is expensive. Also, the team gets very strong, and the reaper can die quicker each run to 99. Also mc dying heals everybody hp and sp so focus on physical persona move to die to replenish team sp back up.

[@kanaentaylor1095]

I can confirm that this does work it’s just like how it was in persona 5 I literally just got to level 99 from level 25 though I will say fighting the reaper at level 25 is a bitch long of a battle but it was worth it 😂😂 lbvs

[@MissWorkshy]

pretty sure reaper invades everywhere, you just need to reach floor 61 first?

[@kanaentaylor1095]

@@MissWorkshy yeah the reaper does

[@xenosaga8436]

Even better. I forget which arcana card it is, but one of them gives double the number of drops from enemies and destructible objects. The Reaper will drop 2 bloody buttons now. There's another arcana card that lets you select 2 cards during shuffle time. That way you can choose exp and money each reaper fight, then money and skill cards once you max level.

[@burimuso]

why would you farm for xp if you're playing a difficulty where you can't die lol

[@RS-jy1jw]

I played on normal diff (no dlc, never changed the diff), never really had to grind for money or xp, going in tartarus 2 to 3 times each full moon cycle, fully explore everything each time (kill all enemies, chests, doors and all), try to get arcana burst asap and prioritize exp card, exploit weakness and critical as much as possible, kill things really fast, did't use money for persona fusing until mid to late game (it's pointless trying to get the best skill inherited since you get lots of skill cards and much better skills later game, just use the persona you get through the cards at the end of the each battle). Especially in early to mid game, you can tell really easily what each enemy is weak to by looking at what their attacks are (fire attack means weak to ice, wind attack means weak to electric, light attack means weak to dark), saving you the time trying different attacks, may have to try out physicals if they are weak to them. Though you do need to rely more on fuuka's ability from mid game. Also, more importantly, be more generous on using items, there is no point saving them for later, there will be more and better items, use them to do buff/debuff, healing, and exploiting enemies weakness (especially bosses) with members who don't have that certain elemental attacks, As for money, don't always buy new gears each full moon cycle, first, you get much better gears in chests in each stage of tartarus (gear also don't matter too much if you can down everything and one shot them with all out attack, all the bosses and stronger enemies during early to mid game should also have weaknesses), second, you unlock the gear making shop during mid game and they are much better than the ones sold at the police station. Also, enemy weakness at each stage of tartarus (especially early to mid game) kinda hints you at which member should be used, so dont get new gears for everyone at once, prioritize the members you will be using, use the big clock to catch up on level for the members you won't be using (you should be able to activate the clock as least once every stage of tartarus if you fully explore the corresponding stage of tartarus a couple time each month). Try to finish all of Elizabeth's quests and save the kitties, it will net you quite a bit of money and twilight fragments. try not to use the clock to exchange twilight fragment for sp, save your twilight fragment for chests, they can give your really good skill cards, especially mid to late game For SP recovery, might be a bit tight in early game but try to exploit fuuka's ability as much as possible, until around mid to late game, you can get a skill card to recover 8% of your HP and SP after every battle, and another one that gives full experience to personas that are not in battle, copy them at the shrine every day and slap them on every persona you use. Try to complete your persona compendium (leveling social stats, completing social links and fusing more persona) as much as possible so you can to unlock more theurgy, you can get a theurgy that consumes all your hp and sp for a 9999 almighty attack during late game (around lvl 60-70 I think), couple that with arcana boost and exp card, kills the reaper instantly and get you well over 400k exp each fight, really breaks the game at this point, saves you the boring grind and let you enjoy the game more With that being said, merciless might be a different story though, but I hope this helps

[@smalllast7848]

merciless is very very different i've been broke the entire time

[@rodolfovieyra5122]

This advice is very accurate. I also noticed that a really fast way of getting your social stats up is by eating at the wild duck trying to do Elizabeths eating challenge. If you fail the challenge on purpose it raises your stats up significantly. I would avoid making money doing part time jobs its better to go to tartarus to make money. And yeah dont spend money on armor or weapons from the shop. Your money should be saved for fusing unregistered personas.

[@superkoolaid7014]

I aint readin allat

[@Warblaaster]

A quick tip from experience. If you don't have power personas or weapons yet (me lol), the golden hands do have weakness and they change based on the type of floor you are on. So the first level (the school) they are weak to bashing attacks. The second level (the purple room with faces) they are weak to light attacks. So if you need extra free turns, just double check a guide to see which hand is weak to what on the level you are on.

Something worth noting about the coins you get from the hands is you can only carry 99 of the given type from whatever hand you kill. But I sold 99 of the ones from the Tiaz block and got like 1.5 mil so yeah if you're in this for money be sure to farm all the floors and kill all the hands and you'll reach money cap in no time.

[@fkim96]

I also found that if you use Fuuka’s jamming ability, the hands don’t detect you, so it can become a guaranteed way for you to hit them without them running away.

[@DR4kH1N]

To add on to this, if you wanna make your stay on Tartarus last forever, you can manipulate which buff Fuka gives you by reaching its conditions. If everyone in your party is low on SP but full HP she will restore SP for everyone instead of buffing you. I guess with this farm its harder since the main character is using most SP but I suppose you can go out of your way and remove party members to force this or somehow spend all your SP on your other members you can proc it consistently. I am doing merciless so I'm still 2 months behind this video ingame but this method allowed me to overstay my welcome on tartarus on a run you really have to grab everything you can get.

[@KDThreeSixty]

Yeah I noticed that while I was playing. It’s pretty nice

[@ifailatblackops1]

Life hack in the game: get a persona that knows sp drain and goto a lower level and drain their sp. literally can stay forever with that method

​@ifailatblackops1 can do the same kinda deal with invigorate 1 but it is painful to sit there guarding for like 5 turns (think you can get it from tier 4 skill cards but good luck getting rng to be kind)

This is also a good way to farm twilight fragments on the side should you happen to run into a dark floor. Don't skip that floor! Go through it and bust down any glowing blue structures.
