Metal Monsters Grinding

Grinding Guide:
Requirements
ANY weapon that has the critical potential (30%-50% would be preferable)
Acceleration Ring x ? (? refers to the number of users who can use Void Magic in battlefield)
All Arkstone x 1
Encounter ring x 1

Notice: This grinding method only gives max 1,111,000 exp or so per battle, if your training is slow, use some exp boosts acc. (Expert Mode)
1) Put the character with the critical weapon in front: First. In my case i put Litany in first place
2) Equip the acceleration ring on all players
3) Someone equip the encounter ring
4) Equip the player with the critical weapon, together with All Arkstone.
5) Go in battle, strike hard with your critical character. If your character manages to deal critical damage to all enemies, you've won.
6) If not, then spam "Quick Action" on Litany..using Izayoi and Noelle
7) Repeat until you won the battle...or you get owned by Metal monsters

Great Guide. I For one Recommend Equipping the Next Arkstone and Follow Arkstone, along with the others above.

Nice one. Is that X-shaped island like just full of metal monsters?

Your guide is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for - short, straightforward, easy to follow... 2 thumbs up! :woohoo:

Yup, Estrella Has a X-Shaped Island with Metal Monsters

Asdivine Has a Lone Island With Metal Monsters.

However it should be noted, Metal Monsters in Asdivine Give More EXP, Gold, SP and are far tougher. Though you can auto battle them on Level 345 Onwards.

So I'm curious, can you use this same strategy in just normal random encounters with one metal monster? (Minus equipping the encounter ring, of course.)

Yup, this strategy can be used for normal metal monsters as well. Since this time around, normal attacks rarely miss, upgrading your weapon to a Critical of 50% always works wonders. But 40% will also do you good. Heck you don't even need like Acceleration Ring, First Ring, All Arkstone, Next Arkstone, 30 Arkstone or The Quadruple Arkstone for normal Metal Enemies. Just a weapon with a good critical is good to go.

So its a good measure to insert a critical to your favourite weapon.

You can actually auto battle them by level 80. Just equip a weapon with high crit stats and at least speed stats with 50%. And an all arkstone with berserk ring on both Litany and Izayoi. And it will give you at least 2 turns each before your enemies have a turn. Which is enough to end the battle without getting a scratch.

Do you mean for Estrella monsters or Asdivine ones.

Alev · Post by **Alev** » Mon Jan 25, 2016 4:20 pm

asdivine ones. Just start with easy difficulty. And as you level up, just notch up the difficulty. The key is you just need enough speed so you'll strike first. As you level up, your speed increases. If your speed can place you as first strike in the beginning of the battle in the next difficulty, then stay on that difficulty until you can reach the req speed for the next difficulty until you reach the expert mode.
