[quote="1oldtymer" post=4160]I used your prior hint about fighting Nullus to make for a simple battle. This is an odd game, I guess. I prepped my weapons carefully, crafted multiple combos, decided on jewels, etc. Lucille went first, and it was a one hit finish. That was it. All that though and preparation...not needed.[/quote]

I, on the other hand, had NO strategy for Nullus (and was missing a good half of Lucille's skills). I lost to him so many times I finally had to fight on Easy, and even then it took me three times before I finally won. If you let the battle go long enough, Nullus or one of his "bodyguards" uses a skill that killed 3 of my party members (Harvey survived, only because his weapon had HP 100%, so he had about 300 more HP than what Nullus dealt to everyone else.)

So for the people out there, playing the game without the benefit of a good final setup - Nullus is a pain in the neck.

[quote="Typo" post=4003]btw I've been seeing this alot now and I really think you guys are misunderstanding Bonus Box.

I read this somewhere in the Help section of the game (I HONESTLY can't remember which part) but Bonus Boxes appear on your next encounter AFTER you reach a certain Level threshold (I got mine after I reached 50, 100 and 200) and apparently what you get from there is fixed, Skill Trunk (not sure if this or bag, forgot) for 50, 10x Experience Trunk on 100 and 10x Life Seed on 200.

I remember reading about Bonus Boxes somewhere on the game, I just can't remember. I'm fairly sure it was on Help. I would like others to investigate if this is true though. Pretty sure it's on every 100 Level-ups after reaching Lv100.[/quote]

This is true, I can confirm this since i just blitzed from lvl 54 to 901 in 1 hour and 15 mins. Basically x2 encounter rate, enable battle shortcut, grind on metal areas. Here's the list:
100: exp trunk x10
200: life seed x10
300: exp trunk x20
400: ability seed x5
500: exp trunk x30
600: life seed x20
700: --
800: --
900: exp trunk x40
900: ability seed x10
900: exp trunk x50

Idk why I got 3 bonus boxes in a row after 900, probably because i enabled that battle shortcut thing so 700 and 800 gave me nothing. But yeah thats the list.

:woohoo: If there were a Gazillion Challenge for fastest level up, you just won! :woohoo: :woohoo:
Thanks for sharing! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

And if for some reason you didn't have Lucile wielding her oven mitt, you could break your own record!

I guess I should clear up some of the things regarding bonus boxes:
1) Bonus Boxes have a certain threshold level, but do you know what the threshold is?
2) The threshold is the Amount of and the Item which you get from the Bonus Box. The Threshold level IS NOT the threshold of how frequently the Bonus Box appears.
3) I had been checking about the treasure it gives, Kiriee is mostly spot on( Seriously props to him/her for searching about this), but that is not the only items which are dropped by the bonus box, the bonus box also gives Skill Bags, Trust Enhancers etc which are the "rare drops" of the bonus box, but the Amount Varies by the Threshold.
4) Time Warp tower gives 2x more encounters with Bonus Boxes. The rare drop rate from them ( Skill Bags ) also increases a lot, since most of the times I did acquire Skill Bags.
5) Bonus box encounters are never "missed" in battle shortcut mode, instead the game "makes you fight" in the battle.
6) Defeating Every enemy in the battle without opening the bonus box will yield in a win, without you, getting any benefits if the box.

Never got a Skill Bag from the Bonus box . I spent over 1600 premium points to purchase the Skill bags from the shop .

[Azyleo]

I mostly got Skill bags from the time tower, and even that was like 1-5, not more than that and the drop rate is quite obnoxious( Seriously, don't farm from Bonus boxes, its an extremely unpleasant and back ache inducing way to farm) , if I do say so myself.

[Nemomon]

So the bonus boxes weren't bonus for me.... But I must admit I liked their appearance .

This.

FWIW, I grinded Metal Island from 130 to 900 something (I never grind until after the True End.) Battle shortcut was on, and I had the Jewel that's encounter with every step. I got dozens of bonus boxes, often within 2 or 3 battles of each other. (Oh I should mention I also had a Box Jewel.)

It might be that your level somehow influences the reward - I don't know. But, the appearance of the boxes is completely random as far as I can tell.

Dubious achievement in the trophy list:

Max Damage Received by Lucile: 2006230

I never get the good trophies....

Haha, sadly nope. No exp orb either. But I wield exp jewel and equipped exp weapons so it goes as high as extra 100% or so.
Those bonus boxes I mentioned were not random. It was like, I hit let's say level 300, then save, went to nublet area and the next battle gave me bonus box with fixed rewards. I repeated the same progress and it still did the same.
