Where To Farm Incense~Metaphor: Refantazio

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

I actually learned that the Red Crystals respawn in the final area so just use the one I show at the end of the video.

[@zamaskowany12]

I farmed every single characters archetype mastery to 100% at the spot with the 2 Red crystals near the cat statue. Still took me about 15 hours.

[@godsplayingfield]

same..... THEN noticed i had an accessory that increased A-EXP by 1.5 and wanted to cry. i never noticed getting it. i have no fcking clue where it came from, and it was low down on the list so must have been ages ago. possibly from appraisals which i mashed through to sell duplicates for cash without really checking what i got.

[@zamaskowany12]

@@godsplayingfield I remembered to use it and you get it from the colloseum ranked matched if i recall correctly.

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

Niceu! You're ready for New Game+

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

@@godsplayingfield I have no idea where it's from either. I remember looking at it because it gives 10 Luck but I never used it cause I only overworld farm. It only affects Squad Battles.

[@Kagetora-]

Damn you're insane for that. I'd get bored

[@kzxkzxkzx]

depending on your MC level the 2nd mentioned spot is perfect to farm those +1000 arch xp items. You can even do this with just one hit by using the synth skill from the MC which deals 9999 damage to all enemies. First time I killed them at level ~85 I earned 45 of those items. The yellow/gold items they drop are extremely strong also. It's the best spot to max out all archetypes by far. If your MC level is low enough you could max out all archetypes of all characters in a few hours of grinding. (make sure to equip everything that gives bonus arch xp)

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

Thank you for sharing!

[@thomasbarry1240]

Regarding not wanting to be too high level... couldn't you just engage, steal, then escape before your 4 pips are done? You don't need to stun them after all.

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

You're absolutely right Thomas. You don't need to stun them to farm. If you do have a Thief Lineage on the protagonist then you have a high chance to steal an additional Incense before getting into combat essentially doubling the pace of your Incense farming. This is why I do it because who wants to spend two hours farming when you can cut that down to one?

[@Eidos65]

Hey, thanks for the tip! I wonder if you know where I could farm Strenght incense, I am at the final boss and put all my stat points in Magic :( ... Now I would like to have a STR build to use the Royal Sword efficently.

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

You can't farm Strength Incense. That's okay because Royal Sword scales with the highest stat of Strength or Magic so you'll be fine!

[@DantoriusD]

And dont use them until NG+ since increased Stats dont carry over.

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

That NG+ is going to get rekt when we all show up with max Hp and Mp :^)

[@Kagetora-]

Huge tip. If stats did carry over then it'd be fine to use it

[@ZhenTashi]

how about the stats given by mastering archetypes?

[@DantoriusD]

@@ZhenTashi well Yes and No ^^ Archetype Level carries over but you have to unlock them all again. So once youve unlocked a Archetype again and it was mastered on your first Playtrough by then you also get the Stat Bonus from mastering it. Not earlier.

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

@@ZhenTashi They carry over since they'll be Mastered when you do NG+

[@lotheravanti4295]

Still just after the first challenge. Will keep this video for endgame farming. Thanks for having my endgame needs covered bro.

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

My pleasure Lother!

[@mitchelledwards5167]

I also recommend tower of blind faith for archetype farming and money

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

@@mitchelledwards5167 Thanks for helping Mitchell!

[@qwertt14]

0:06 yep I'm watching this video too early

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

It'll be here when you're ready!

[@maskmanz3097]

It's a pity that there are only 2 types of incense that can farm 😢

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

Well if you do 20 NG+ you can hit stat cap on all Archetypes with the limited Incense they give for the other stats 💀

[@MrHeven666]

Does the archetype level for your party members is also carried over NG+?

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

Yes

[@BWalker8732]

Bro, thanks for sharing this info. How do you get your hair like that with the protagonist?

[@nyghtfal]

it's a spoiler answer, part of main story

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

My pleasure Walker and you don't want the answer to that. Keep playing the game and you'll find out!

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

@@nyghtfal Thanks for not spoiling it Fal!

[@BWalker8732]

@@nyghtfal ok thanks

[@BWalker8732]

@@Naztalgic_Memories I understand

[@alicepeneva3211]

I wonder if Atlus purposely made Hp and Mp farmable because the Royal version will have it.

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

That could be a possibility

[@raen5256]

They said no royal version or alt version of the game

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

@@raen5256 Do you recall where they said this Raen?

[@raen5256]

​@Naztalgic_Memories my bad I thought their answer was more direct because I had only heard a loose quote of it online. So it doesn't 100% confirm that there won't be a re-release. There was an interview in game spot where the director was asked about the tendency to re-release games and they said that moving forward, it's something they won't do unless the situation really warrants it. It feels like they're trying to move away from that pattern. Here's the actual quote:

[@raen5256]

Question: **Atlus has a tendency to return to games and release new editions with new features fairly regularly. Why is that? When do you decide to reach a stopping point?** Answer: *"Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal added many expanded features that couldn't be contained in a DLC format, so we had to treat them as completely new games. This time, we've kept that in mind for Episode Aigis, so we've made sure that the expanded content only works as DLC. Moving forward, if the content doesn't significantly expand on the base game, then we would like to deliver that content in an appropriate format:

[@Antonio-wd3ok]

Does the stats I gain from using the incense transfer to new game plus? Or should I do this on new game plus?

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

The stats do not carry over if you use them Antonio. The item does so farm as much as you'd like and then when you start your NG+ file, they'll be there for you to use!

[@zeppelin292]

that passive for item drop rate does not stack

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

Proof?

[@kenshin391]

Do you keep everything if you do a new game plus?

[@DantoriusD]

Yes but dont use them intil NG+ since increased Stats dont carry over

[@MrJoFFC]

Items, some key items, equipment and archetype level carries over. Still they start locked again as u need to rewatch and redo the links as u slowly release them with the advantage of having all maxed from start(if u maxed all before end). What isn't carried over are just levels(characters) and some items(like the optional bosses extra sword after finishing all 4 of them)

[@MrJoFFC]

Game also have some minor differences on Regicide, like different monsters than what we had in areas where it rains and that the stronger ones... don't respawn when u leave the map to entrance/akademia, forcing u to grind on the weaker ones(losing capacity of power levelling) and making sure u stay always around 7 to 5 levels lower than enemy u are fighting... at least they let u carry over gears. First time i fought one of the optional bosses(he is lv75) i was at lv78, now with all those limits i was forced to the fight on 66 cause didn't had patience to farm exp on trash mobs. I am already on my 2nd playthrough, this time regicide... about 13 days to final battle/end lols

[@Naztalgic_Memories]

Only Key items that would affect the story get removed.
