4. 💡 Pro Tips for Maximum Efficiency: Hunting Ground Selection Strategy
· Since 'Nightmare's Echo' does not incur an experience penalty, using it in the highest level hunting ground where you can achieve a 'spawn cut' yields maximum efficiency.
· For example, a level 276 character should use it in a level 279 hunting ground and then return to their original hunting ground.
· If you find it bothersome, using it in your usual hunting ground won't make a significant difference.
· Strategy for Paying Users: Purchase 'Nightmare's Echo' from the auction house daily after the reset and use it all three times to accelerate leveling. It's also useful for leveling link characters.
· Strategy for Free-to-Play Users: If 'Nightmare's Echo' drops during hunting, sell it on the auction house to earn mesos. It's likely to be sold at a high price initially. If securing mesos is a priority over stat upgrades, selling is recommended.
