To maximize Shanoa's potential, efficient leveling and money farming are crucial. Here are some strategies:
- Revisit Areas: Earlier areas often have weaker enemies that can be quickly defeated for easy experience, especially if you're under-leveled. Later areas, however, offer much higher EXP per kill.
- Boss Rushes: After defeating a boss, you can often re-enter their arena (if it's not a story-locked area) and fight them again in Boss Rush mode for significant EXP and rare drops.
- Equip LCK Gear: Items that boost your LCK stat (e.g., Misericorde, Thief Ring) increase item drop rates, which can lead to more valuable items to sell for gold.
- Sell Unused Items: Regularly visit Monica's shop to sell off excess materials, duplicate equipment, and any items you don't need.
- Laura's Quests: Many of Laura's quests reward substantial amounts of gold and experience upon completion.
- Glyph Union Attacks: Using Glyph Union attacks (combining two of the same Glyph or specific Glyph pairs) often yields higher experience from defeated enemies.
Focus on areas with high enemy density that you can clear quickly. The Large Cavern and Dracula's Castle are excellent late-game spots for both EXP and money farming due to the strong enemies and valuable drops.
