Star Ocean The Divine Force How to Get MAX Level 255 in LESS THAN 60 SECONDS per Character

[@ThreePeekBTW]

I can only imagine how crazy the benefits would be if you also slept at airship in and made "Snowy Shortcake" adds an additional 38% acc factor effect! Thanks so much for this very in depth guide! Subbed!

[@brandonwirtz2308]

So good to know that broken crafting is still a thing. Closest thing to a cheat code nowadays outside of the right mods. I haven’t earned synthesis yet, but I’m working on it.

You get a couple of them early on and then you just get spammed with the rest in a short period.

[@ryanrookard2418]

Little joke tip. Laeticia also has a passive that increases armor factors.

[@georgprime4665]

A minor tip for changing your xp equipment to the next character since the ui is kinda clunky. Don't unequip it just equip it onto the next character since it will be close to the top of the list.

[@WattSCar7597]

just wanna say i'm so happy to see your thumbnail. I was like lvl 44 then kinda sad if i'm already halfway or near the end of the story (i assumed max is 50 or 99) then i see the lvel 255. so happy!

Thank you very much!! This was super helpful. I actually got the synthesis done with Theo and only had to reset once

[@EtherealRune]

I think someone just calculated the XP yesterday and was testing if there's a cap on the Armor and Weapon-effectiveness increase and came to the conclusion that 60% is the cap you can increase with PER equipment. So basically, you only need 2 factors with "Increased Accessories Factor" to reach the full potential. For example, 48/30 or 30/30 and you're good. That way you can actually increase the XP you get when using both Armor and Weapon with those factors, but in all honesty.. it's already so quick, it's just Min/Maxing at this point and not needed. Have fun everyone!

[@Primalliquid92]

Correct it's. Me and kotak on gamefaqs doing alot of the testing lol

This method can also be applied for getting ridiculous amounts of money (Fol); look for factors that increase percentage of money after battle, stack them up similar to EXP boost on one character (or all) and Kaching; jackpot.

sadly, you cant, Fol factors just over write each other, meaning what you want is +fol 35% and then 5 Surprise boost 80%s to increase your surprise battle multipler to 5.3 (the cap) that is the highest fol multipler you can get

Perfect spot for it is also the Lavaman in Nihlbeth. Can be surprised attacked stupidly easy and even with half-assed accessories that aren't minmaxed you can get over 2m exp per kill. Gained over 70 levels the first kill, which dropped off until it tapered off and I shot to 255 from 241.

Works perfectly especially at end game tower where you have most of these items. Quick question though, any idea how to get more SP once you're maxed level?

If you follow this video just remember not to do overkill with your SP at first when you max out with Ray or Leticia. You'll have a ton of SP but still not infinite ;)

You need to use Nina and Compounding. There's a chance of her creating SP Seeds when you combine Game Meat and Secret Spice. The odds seem to be low though. Just save before you combine a bunch so you can reload if you don't get any.
