Money and experience points (XP) are vital for character progression and purchasing essential items. Here are some efficient ways to earn both:
- Another Drama: Each character's 'Another Drama' is a fantastic source of both money and XP. Kiryu's taxi missions, Saejima's hunting, Haruka's idol performances, Akiyama's hostess club, and Shinada's batting challenges all offer substantial rewards. Maxing these out is highly recommended.
- Substories: Completing substories often yields significant XP and money, along with unique items. Prioritize these as you explore each city.
- Mini-Games: Certain mini-games, once mastered, can be excellent for earning money. For example, high scores in Mahjong, Shogi, or Pachinko can lead to large payouts. Fishing can also be profitable if you sell rare catches.
- Street Fights: While not the most efficient on their own, street fights provide consistent XP and small amounts of money. Equip accessories that increase money or XP gain from battles.
- Arena Battles (Kamurocho): Once unlocked, the Coliseum in Kamurocho offers challenging fights with high XP and money rewards, especially for Kiryu.
- Selling Items: Sell any duplicate or unwanted items at pawn shops (Ebisu Pawn). Materials from Saejima's hunting can also be sold for a good profit.
- Food & Drink: Eating at restaurants not only restores health but also grants XP. Try to eat several dishes to maximize XP gain.
Focus on activities that you enjoy, as consistent engagement will naturally lead to more money and XP over time. equip any accessories that boost earnings.
