Complete Chapter 4 in Story mode offline.
Extra mode: Easy experience
The more missions you have completed in Story mode, the more that become
available in Extra mode. From level 1, you may level up your character to level
10 or so by simply repeating the first mission from the Flyer Base on Parum,
"Creature Discomfort". This will also give you a chance to build up a supply of
Synthesis items, Star Atomizers, and Scape Dolls if you break open the correct
boxes. After reaching level 10, go to the shops on the various planets and look
for the best items and discs. If you have already completed the first six
missions of Story mode, you will be in good shape. For Rangers, two Blasters,
two Compadri, and two Ortotore/Bastara Combinations are recommended. As for the
Photon Arts, Ice Elements are recommended, as they are widely effective and
Freezing is a useful status, and to switch the elements for your second weapon
according to the situation at hand. Continue fighting until you reach level 15,
then do the mission from the Parum Flyer Base "Ruler of the Plains" for
experience. Have half of your weapons set to Ice and the other half for Grav if
you are a Ranger. All Koltovas and Flying enemies here are weak to Ice, and the
Vahras are weak to Grav. The De Ragan is also weak to Ice. To take him down
easily, Aim for the base of his neck of his head with your weapons. However if
you are a Ranger, an Ice-equpped Blaster or Compadri works best. If you get an
"S" rank on this mission, you will get 1,500 Meseta, 60 Mission Points, and a De
Ragan Room Decoration that sells for 5,000 Meseta. For defeating the De Ragan,
you ill receive 1,440 experience points. Because there are twenty five total
enemies in the mission each giving about 40 experience points, you will end up
with about 2,440 experience each trip. Continue this until you are about level
25. After reaching level 25, upgrade your weapons (either buy new ones or use
Grinder C+3s that sell for 1,500 Meseta from the Items shop on them) for extra
power. With a C+3, there is no chance of upgrade failure for the first two
times. You can safely upgrade all your weapons twice. After this, go back to
Parum again. This time go to the Linear Train Platform in the G.R.M. Shop area.
Make sure to Photon Charge and Save, then take the Cargo Train Rescue mission.
This mission is difficult to get an "S" in, but is also worth it. All enemies
are either weak to Ice or have no weakness. Enemies here give more experience
points, and if you successfully find all thirty two enemies and finish in under
seven minutes, you will get an "S" rank. If you get an "S" rank on this mission,
you will get even more Meseta, mission points, and another room decoration item
that sells for 5,000 Meseta, as well as an Extra Slot item for an Armor.
More photon points
Go to the shop and buy a lot of the same weapon that you use. Then, add them all
to your palette. Equip all of them with skills, if desired. This trick does not
require multiple skill items. This saves lots of Meseta because you will not
need to buy Photon Charges. This trick is also very effective for forces because
they will not run out of photons nearly as often.
