How To Get To Level 99 In Xenoverse 2

Okay, so picture this: I'm fresh-faced in Conton City, rocking my Saiyan avatar with spiky hair that defies gravity (because, video games!). I’m battling Frieza for the tenth time, thinking I'm hot stuff. Then, some random dude with a scouter on and a custom outfit blasts past me, obliterating Frieza with a single Ki blast. My jaw? Officially on the floor. He's level 99. Ninety-nine! I was, like, level 40. That's when I knew, right then and there, I needed to learn the secrets to leveling up fast. That's what this article is all about – helping you avoid my initial embarrassment and get you to that coveted max level.

So, you want to hit level 99 in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2? It's a grind, no sugarcoating it. But with the right strategies, it's totally achievable. Let's break it down.

Understanding the Leveling System

First things first, let’s quickly go over how leveling works. Experience points (XP) are your best friend. You get them from completing quests, fighting enemies, and generally doing stuff in the game. The higher your level, the more XP you need to reach the next one. Makes sense, right? It's like real life – the older you get, the harder it is to learn new things... except you can totally just punch a Saiyan and instantly level up here.

The XP you get varies depending on a bunch of factors: the difficulty of the quest, the level of the enemies, and whether you're using any XP-boosting items. Which, by the way, you totally should be! More on that later.

The Fast Track: Expert Missions

Alright, let's cut to the chase. The absolute fastest way to level up is through Expert Missions. Specifically, the one against Great Ape Festival! You can also do the one against Broly, if you have some friends, but that one is significantly harder to do solo. The XP you get from these missions is insane, and it gets even better when you can do them with a full team of high-level players. Four people blasting away at a gigantic ape? Sign me up!

Here’s the key: you gotta learn to survive the missions. These guys hit HARD. Make sure your character is reasonably strong, your stats are semi-optimized, and your equipment is decent. Think of it like preparing for a final exam, only instead of cramming, you're grinding. If you are struggling to survive, then consider changing your current equipment for something that increases your HP or Stamina.

Maximizing XP Gain: Tips and Tricks

Okay, so you're doing Expert Missions. Awesome. But we can optimize even further! Let's talk about those XP-boosting items I mentioned. There are a few key items you'll want to get your hands on:

• Super Soul: Certain Super Souls give you a significant XP boost. Look for ones like "I've got to be the strongest!" or "Before Creation Comes Ruin...". These can be earned from different PQs and Expert Missions.
• Training with Whis: Whis is the main teacher of Beerus, and he offers training that grants permanent XP boost.
• Team Up: Teaming up with other players also provides an experience bonus.

Another important thing to keep in mind is your equipment. Make sure you're rocking gear that boosts your stats, particularly if you're going for a specific build. While gear doesn't directly influence XP, it allows you to clear quests more quickly.

Parallel Quests: A Solid Backup Plan

While Expert Missions are the fastest, they can get repetitive (trust me, I know). If you're feeling burnt out, Parallel Quests (PQs) are a great alternative. Some PQs offer decent XP and are relatively easy to complete. PQ 83, "Evil Sealer," is a particularly good choice for speed and XP. It might not be as efficient as Expert Missions, but the variety can help prevent you from rage-quitting and throwing your controller at the TV. Trust me, I've been there.

Patience is a Virtue (Seriously)

Look, getting to level 99 takes time. There’s no instant shortcut (unless you’re into save editing, which I don’t recommend!). Don't get discouraged if you're not leveling up as fast as you'd like. Just keep grinding those Expert Missions, optimizing your gear, and remember to take breaks. It's a marathon, not a sprint. And when you finally hit that magic number? Oh, the satisfaction! You'll be able to obliterate Frieza with a single Ki blast too.

Happy grinding, future level 99 warriors!
