How to Get to Level 99 FAST - 26 MILLION XP PER HOUR - Complete Guide - Monster Hunter Stories 2!

[@yukunwang2059]

I'm level 99 already. My suggestion is aim for 90 or 96. The amount of XP needed to level up will have a big leap at 90 and 96. And FYI 94 is your XP mid point meaning the amount of XP needed to go from 0 to 94 is roughly the same as from 94 to 99 so the last couple levels really aren't worth it

[@SadMoribund]

Yeah, especially considering the difference an't that big.

[@ZackSNetwork]

@@SadMoribund The level to power ratio is weird in this game. I have seen riders in theirs 70’s hit harder than people in their 90’s.

[@SadMoribund]

@@ZackSNetwork Likely because great builds trump levels. Either that or there is a glitch.

[@christancerivera4115]

There's a hidden mechanic that the game ties to levels. Even though the stats aren't that much different, there is a damage intake/ouput modifier. At level 90, I could barely do enough damange to the event Fatalis, as well as Rajang in S Lair 9. Once I was 92, there was a considerable difference in how many hits I could take, which I thought was strange. At 96, it happened again, and now it's easier than what it was at level 92. Still can't beat Fatalis, but I'll get there lol.

Level 58 sitting at about 80 hours. Took my time with low rank and now I’m farming genes, starting to grab deviants and elders. I’m saving the elders lair because I know the final boss is gonna be quite a “surprise”. Good luck to those who are on their way as well!

[@Jim_the_Tomato]

Currently level 66. Mostly been focusing on getting genes for my monsties.

[@stormbiskit7271]

I’m sitting at Level 66 and am pretty content with it. I feel like as I go into dens and fight elders and deviants I’ll level naturally for the most part

[@MaigenMaylight]

Or instead of doing all that you could just use Deadly Horn Jab on Rajang over and over again in Zone 9 since he's the only monster in that Zone that's not considered a "Boss". He nets you about 200,000+ XP everytime. Also to clarify, it is possible to Quick Finish Elders and Deviants but only in random encounters via SR Dens. Any other scenario where they're considered bosses won't allow the Quick Finish (i.e Elders Lair, co-op expeditions, and quests from the Deviant/Elder questline in single player)

I am already level 95 since the second week after release thanks to the video of a smaller youtuber but the amount of time it takes even with the best strategie possible is ridiculous (about 2 hours per level) i personaly think this is way to much cause even people like me who dont have a problem with grinding things dont feel like doing this and for casual players level 99 is unreachable if you have work an family etc....

[@prequelsgoat132]

Level 99. It took my like a full day to go from level 74 to early to mid 90's then like another half a day to reach 99. My biggest advice is while your grinding put on a podcast and don't be afraid to take breaks. My biggest pros to grinding is that it makes it so much easier to level new monsties you get to level 90 in like 20 minutes. And the more you level the stronger your ai companion is.

I'm level 63 playing casually, beat the full game and DLC so far. Honestly I feel bad for people grinding to 99 right now. It'll completely run the experience as more DLC drops in the future. When your team is OP there's hardly any reason to play the game IMO. I'll probably stop at level 75 if I hit it before hard Kulve drops. Kinda wanting to go back and play more Rise now anyway.

[@KekrisTheBetrayer]

I haven't beat the Lair yet, I'm stuck on the Gravios, but once I get a water monster and level up enough, this will help I'm currently lvl 57 because I got stuck on Nerg and got discouraged and stopped playing for a week

[@SaintAdjacent]

This may sound counter intuitive but bring Kyle for Gravios and the one after but switch to Reverto for the last 2(it's 2 in one fight) you should craft the Plesioth Breaker and a Piercing Water weapon of your choice(seltas Bow or Mizu Gunlance)
