Hello fellow Proxies, :D
Hi I'm proxy JiberJibster and this is a quick and simple beginner guide to leveling up your Inter-Knot so you can get the most content out of this game as soon as possible.Try to reach level 29, that way you get access to the weekly challenges give you important resources for your characters. In addition this guide will have other bonus tips as well.
CHECK YOUR SCHEDULE
Starting your game, always check your schedule for any commissions that need tracking. It is a bad habit as a Proxy to ignore these commissions, especially combat commissions as they are a great way in obtaining Inter-knot EXP. Furthermore, you will have interactive NPCs in the city, either at 6th street or anywhere else. If you ever need help locating these quest, you can always track them one at a time.
[Main Quest] Story line quest, [Combat/Exploration] Secondary Quest & [City] Open World
BONUS: CITY MISSIONS MAY COME AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY AND WHEN COMPLETING CITY QUEST THE TIME OF DAY WILL PASS
City Quest should be taken immediately as they do come at certain times of the day
DO COMBAT COMMISSIONS FIRST THEN EXPLORATION OR STORY/ARCHIVE
It is in your best interest to do combat commissions first as they are the fastest to do besides city missions. Afterwards, doing explorations can be more time consuming than combat as they vary especially the Golden Bangboo mission. Story/Archive missions can be faster than exploration if you're skipping through the dialogue and cutscene I actually enjoy the storyline. Story archives will not be accessible if you don't meet level requirements so you will have to find other means of leveling up.
Missing Mini Cargo Trucks can be found around the map
Collect Mini Cargo Trucks
Each area has missing cargo trucks which give bonus exp for collecting. You may find them at the corner, floors and alleys of maps.
Make sure to always 3/3 your objectives
Check your mission details
If you're someone who doesn't have a lot of time to play, prioritise missions that give the most EXP this way you are making the most out of your playtime and have something to look forward the next time you play. The worse thing you can do is burn yourself out and become bored of the game. Have fun and build your characters :D (might make a character/team build guide)
Not every mission shares the same objective requirements so be wary!!
COMPLETE YOUR DAILIES PROXIES!!!
ALL DAY EVERY DAY DAILIES
This is pretty self explanatory, just do your dailies as you can get up to 600 EXP (150 EXP per reward stage). They don't consume a lot of time unlike other gacha games, pretty easy and weekly quest is flexible as you get to pick 2 missions you can do in a single day granting 300 exp. So all together 900 exp. -[emoji]_-
Trials will progress as you go through the story and progressively get more time consuming
Primer Trials
Essentially the game's way of making sure you are up to date. These trials will make you level up your agents, engines and Bangboos' to 20/30. You'll be required to complete main stories, agent stories and challenges such as Hollow Zero, Shiyu Defence and Notorious Hunt. These will require a day or more to do as you'll need to use a lot of energy to require materials for characters and you'll only get more material opportunities when you reach certain levels.
BONUS: Don't make your proxy sleep, try to get as much commissions done and any other challenges until the game forces you to sleep. That way you've done almost everything in a day and when you wake up for the next day, you can obtain more city quests without the need of wasting another day. The game may tell you to sleep but you can still access your HDD (Hollow Deep Dive System).
No rest for the wicked
Knock Knock; who's there?
Check your phone
It's a common mistake to forget to check your phone after talking to NPCs as they will most likely contact your proxy. In addition, some other characters will recommend you to other people meaning you will need to either check your phone or the commission page on your Inter-lock (image below)
Difficulty in finding commissions? Filter out the post and set it as "Help Request Info"
RANKING UP
Every 10 levels from 20, will require you to do a rank up. The requirement for ranking up will be getting observation points by completing side quest and Mewmew medals (image below). Officer Mewmew is introduced into the game sometime during chapter 1 and this officer is all about serving citizens of 6th street and New Eridu. I highly recommend checking their quests as you gain observation points for completing his quest (you will need 100 observation points for level 30 rank up!).
Can be found behind Howl's news stand.
Mewmew will report cases happening around the city and it is your duty to investigate them
Mewmew introduces a new medal collection system to the game. By completing events around the city and city missions, you will gain a medal from Mewmew. Not all medals can be completed and some will remain hidden until you progress through the story. So if you ever feel stuck on a medal and can't solve the case don't worry just do your commissions/story missions. :D
CONCLUSION
This pretty much brings the guide to an end Proxies, I probably missed out on something other juicy EXP tips and if I did do contact me through my UID: 1301354527 . You may find me on the official Zenless discord helping others with their builds and general stuff. Take your time with the game, don't burn yourself out for the long term. Stay blessed :D
