Atelier Yumiais the latest in Gust’s long-running, rather underappreciated, alchemy-centric, franchise. Like the Ryza trilogy before it, Yumia sports an uptick in production values relative to its older peers. It also doubles down on action elements within a turn-based framework, and it introduces a true open world.
Leveling Up Fast In Atelier Yumia
Getting ahead in character levels is only one piece of the power-up pie in Atelier Yumia, as synthesis will ultimately have a greater effect on your strength. But you ought not discount the impact that sheer “number go up” can also have on your team of intrepid explorers. Here’s how to crank those levels up swiftly.
Our main advice is towait until you’ve first visited the atelierbefore aiming to level up at all. You’ll still gain EXP from a handful of battles, but once you’ve done this,you’ll be able to forge and synthesis all manner of items, spells, and gearwhich will hasten the process.
You might also considertackling a few Shrines of Prayerin order toraise your Mana Gauge, thereby having an easier timewithstanding the effects of Manabound Areaswhile you’re en route to dispelling them.
We say this becauseManabound Areas will have far stronger foes, on average, than in unaffected parts of the world.Don’t worry about losing out on such fights after clearing them out, however; the enemies will remain the same.
From here, it’s a rather simple matter. In fact, it’s almost astartlinglysimple matter. You see,Atelier Yumia doles out EXP like candy.We’re not kidding. We’d hazard a guess that many who read this article just haven’t fought enough battles yet to realize it!
Not only will you be gaining EXP rapidly, buteach region’s foes largely scale to your party’s levels to a degree. That is to say,there are caps on how high they’ll go,but it’s still quite helpful. For instance,plenty of monsters in the Ligneus Region scale up to around 22-30.
Think about it - 22 to 30. That’swellabove what we’d wager the game’s intended “recommended level” would be for clearing this part of the game and moving on to Sivash. Andyou can get there within an hour, so long as you’refighting everything you see. Truly!
Just the same,synthesizing Training Bands will make things even faster. Having these handy accessories equippedelevates the amount of EXP earned from every fight. Furthermore,there are EXP-boosting nodes on the Skill Tree.
Frankly, it’s all rather much. You won’t need all this fare in order to vastly outlevel the story content, if you desire to do so. We may even need to close out this guide with a disclaimer:if you’re actively avoiding being overleveled,don’tuse Training Bands or invest in those nodes!
