How To Level Up Friendship In Xenoverse 2

Alright, so you wanna be BFFs with Goku? Or maybe Vegeta? Hey, no judgment here. We've all got our virtual crushes. Getting those Friendship levels maxed out in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 can feel like a grind, but I'm here to tell you, it doesn't have to be! Let's dive in, shall we?

First things first: Why even bother? Well, maxing out friendships unlocks awesome stuff! We're talking new moves, which, let's be honest, are the real reason we're playing, right? Plus, you get bragging rights. Imagine strutting around Conton City knowing you're tighter with Beerus than Whis is! Okay, maybe not that tight, but you get the idea.

The Gifting Game: Presents for Power-Ups!

Think of it like real life. You wanna impress someone? Bring them a gift! In Xenoverse 2, gifts are your best friend (pun intended!). Head to the TP Medal Shop (near the Time Machine Station, can't miss it!) and stock up on items. What to buy? It kinda depends! Each mentor has their favorite things.

Generally, clothing items are a safe bet. They're like the gift cards of the Xenoverse world. Everyone appreciates clothes, right? Even interdimensional warriors. Some mentors, like Piccolo, might appreciate healing items. Others? Well, good luck figuring out what Krillin wants! Seriously, that guy's tastes are a mystery. Experiment! You'll figure it out. Or just Google it. No shame in that game.

Now, where do you give these fabulous gifts? Simple! Just find your mentor hanging out in Conton City (usually near the schools) and talk to them. A dialogue option should pop up allowing you to present your offering. Boom! Friendship points. Easy peasy. Just remember, you can only give one gift at a time per mentor, so don't go buying the entire TP Medal Shop in one go. Unless... you're rolling in TP Medals? In that case, go wild!

Training Time: Sparring for Success

Want a more… active way to boost those friendship levels? Then get ready to rumble! Sparring with your mentor is another great option. Just talk to them and select the "Training" option. Now, don't just stand there getting your face punched in. Actually, do try to win. Winning earns you more friendship points, naturally. Makes sense, right? Who wants to be friends with someone who's constantly getting pummeled?

Pro-tip: Use your mentor's fighting style! Not only will you impress them, but it's also a great way to learn new techniques. Plus, it shows them you care. You're not just in it for the moves, you're genuinely interested in their style! Okay, maybe you are just in it for the moves, but they don't need to know that.

The Ultimate Friendship Hack: Guru's House!

Okay, listen up, because this is the real secret sauce. Do you know Guru's House, right? Constant Namekian crisis and all that? Well, completing Guru's quests gives you attribute boosts, and also increases the rate at which you gain friendship with your mentors! It's like hitting the friendship accelerator! Why? I don't know! Maybe Guru's magical dragon balls secretly boost friendship. Don't question it, just embrace it!

So, there you have it! My foolproof (well, mostly foolproof) guide to leveling up friendships in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Remember: gifts, sparring, and Guru's never-ending emergencies are your keys to success. Now go forth and become besties with the Z Fighters! And maybe unlock a sweet new Ultimate Attack in the process. Good luck, and happy grinding!

One last piece of advice? Don't forget to have fun! It's a game, after all. If you find yourself getting stressed about friendship levels, take a break. Go blow up some Frieza soldiers. It's therapeutic, trust me.
