Welcome to my third guide! This guides will cover a very popular topic: Farming, and where to Farm. If you don't know what this term means, then this guide will tell you it what Farming exactly is. Ever you could acquire a lot of credits in a short time so you could get that special weapon/mecha you've been envying for, or need a lot of Experience, so you could use your favorite mecha/ weapons? Then look no more, because this guide will help you rack in Credits and EXP (Experience) like a Gold mine. Enjoy my guide!

[center][size=3][b]2. What is [i]Farming[/i]?[/b][/size][/center]

I'm glad you asked, and I'll answer that question immediately. Farming is a term used in games when you are receiving a large amount of Experience or Money (or in Mechquest Terms, Credits). Farming works like this: [i]It's so easy, a caveman can do it, I think........ [/i]

1. You think you found a Quest/ Place/ Battle that offers good Experince/Credits/Both.
2. You will do that Quest/ Place/ Battle over, and over, and over again. (This the truly repetitive part of "Farming")
3. Slowly, you build up a massive pile of Experience, Money(Credits), or both.
4. Once you have done that Quest/ Place/ Battle so many times, you will have found yourself with a large amount of Experience, Money(Credits), or both, depending on what you did to acquire those rewards that you have desired so much.

That's what Farming is and how it works!

[size=3][b][center]3. How to Farm Correctly[/center][/b][/size]

Hold it right there mister! Before we start on the actual Farming, we need to know how to make farming as least boring, and quick as possible. Many of these tips are used among the high-leveled players. Today, my farming secrets will be revealed to you! So, let's take a look.

1. It's all about getting your rewards fast and quick. These ideals will speed up farming ten fold:
[ul]
[*] First, Pick a Mecha that can destroy enemies as quickly as you can. 
[*] Second, Weapon choice is a crucial key. Pick you best weapons. (As in weapons that finish off enemies really fast) and equip them on there appropriate spots.
[*] Third, pick weapons that have Fast attack animations, and still hit Hard. This crucial factor is key to fast and quick rewards. 
[*] Fouth, pick a good Attack order. Don't just spam random attack, pick an Attack Order that will do the best damage. Here's a good Example: [i](Thank you Speedy Fighters for providing this build setup for me!)[/i]
[/ul]
[b]Chassis: [/b]Advanced Mysteraven V3
[b]Front Shoulder:[/b] Crow's Star Cannon. (Flash Cannon Ammo) 
[b]Back Shoulders: [/b]Dual Strike
[b]Head:[/b] Raging Bulk Blast.
[b]Back Arm:[/b] Heavy Hook
[b]Front Arm:[/b] Shiny Cutlass

Here's an example: We know that the Chassis attack gives you a +30% Damage Boost, and we know that these weapons when boosted by 30% extra boostage, do high damage. Plus, the Front Arm lowers defenses. So the Attack Order here would be (In order of use): Front Arm, Chassis Attack (A.K.A: Body/ Body Attack), Front Shoulder, Head, Back Shoulder, Back Arm. 

The idea when coming up with a setup built for farming is the ideal of taking out your enemy out as fast as possible, so you can get your farming rewards out quickly. So always, when coming to farming set ups, you must think of these crucial factors: 1. Powerful equipment to do high damage, and 2, Something to always counter those nasty specials those enemies might have up their sleeves. This way, you will farm faster and more efficiently than ever. 

[b][i]P.S: If you ever think farming is starting to become very boring/ tedious, play/listen to some music from your IPod/MP3 Player, or do anything else that will keep you not-so-bored when farming.[/i][/b]

[size=3][b][center]3.1. X-Boost[/center][/b][/size]

With the Introduction of X-Boost into MQ, it is realitively the same as an Adventurequest X-Guardian Package. Here's how it works:

You can Buy this X-Boost from Tek's Mech's Rare Tech Shop. Once you buy it, You don't need to equip it for it to take a battle's effect. For every Battle you win with the X-Boost in your inventory, [b]you can get 10% more Experience and Credits per battle![/b] It comes in Packages of: 

[*][b][link=http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=16721282]1 Week - 100 Nova Gem's[/link]
[*][link=http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=16721277]1 Month (30 Days) - 300 Nova Gems[/link]
[*][link=http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=16721270]Permanent - 1000 Nova Gems[/link][/b]

Now, you may be thinking: "WHOA! PRICEY!!!!!" This is not the Case. 10% may not seem like much, but as your level gets higher, it'll help you level up more and with less effort than the rest of the competition does. If you can, I'd highly advise getting the Permanent Package as soon as you can manage to grab 1000 Nova Gems. It's the most Worthwhile investment in the game, save for Inventory and Mecha Slots.

[b][right][FG03.2][/right][/b]
[size=3][b][center]3.2. Ballyhoo![/center][/b][/size]

I should've mentioned this earlier, but, now that Ballyhoo gives you a LOT of credits, for those of you who lose often, and hate to farm, you can just instead, every day, weatch Ads... FOR CREDITS... AND EVEN NOVA GEMS! Yes, you heard me right people - [b]Ballyhoo gives you chances daily for 5, 10, 25, or even 50 Nova Gems![/b] And plus, she gives you more credit rewards than a normal battle, but only a few times a day. So if you remember to go to Ballyhoo every day, you can get lots of money, and even if you're lucky, Nova Gems! Isn't this like the deal of the century? 

[b]How to get there:[/b] Soluna City > Cinemech > Watch Ads > Get Prize > Yes

[center][size=3][b]4. Levels 1-5[/b][/size][/center]

If you really want to land the ship, go ahead, but battling on the ship is better as far as farming goes. I know it's tedious but you'll have to cope with it. Only beginning levels will define the Split in character type between Non-Star Captains and Star Captains. From level 5 and beyond Star Captains and Non-Star Captains will both have the ability to Farm at the same spots! (Isn't that great!?)

[b]Non-Star Captains:[/b] Well, it's pretty basic here with the Newbatron. What you want is to use the battle button for a good amount of time. Getting Credits at the same time will help you get better weapons from Tek's shop. Get some there, and get ready to battle the Strange Blip. When you defeat him, you'll want to battle him again. And again. And again, until you reach level 5. He's good up to there. DON'T buy the Level 3 Mecha from Tek's Shop; go to Soluna City and choose one from there instead.

[b]Star Captains:[/b] All Star Captains get 200 NGs bonus with their upgrade. If you're a Star Captain already, then you have a good advantage here: Get the Kurosawa Okamoto from Tek's Mechs. Now here's the catch: You need to reach Level 5 within 24 hours. Doing this will give you a very good Nova Gem sell back on the Kurosawa. Other than that, farm to Level 5 using the Strange Blip. Don't land until you're Level 5. If you don't want to get the Kurosawa then that's fine if you want to save your NG's for something else, but there's not much that's worth getting at 200 NG unless you have a steady supply coming in. Or, you can also get the level 2 Monthly Rare mecha that is available from Tek's Dropship mecha shop, if you don't feel like using your precious nova Gems. (I suggest you invest your Nova Gems for an energy blade, as those come quite in handy.)

[size=2][b]Experience Spots[/b][/size]

[b]The Hospital: [/b] Enter the Hospital--> Emergency--> Autopsy mini-game
With a steady hand, you can rack up a good amount of Experience in a short amount of time. Good if you feel the need to level up very fast ion a short amount of time. In the mini-game, you can, if done skillfully, have received 100 EXP and 500 Credits by just doing the mini-game. Pretty good deal, don't you think?

[size=2][b] Credits Spots[/b][/size]

[b] Mecharoni: [/b] Enter the Pizza Shop --> Talk to Parma John -->  Click the quest which reads Order #66
The fight may seem hard for such an Early level, but the rewards are definitely worth the trouble. If you think he is fearsome, don't worry about it. Rusty Rat DOES NOT have a special trick up his sleeves (or mecha Arms) for him to win unreasonably. All he does is attack. Nothing else is bad.

[hr]
[right][b][FG05][/b][/right]
[center][size=3][b]5. Levels 6-10[/b][/size][/size][/center]

Yay! Finally, you got more places to explore! But before we explore the universe in excitement and curiosity, let's look at the options when you are at Soluna City:

[size=2][b]Experience[/b][/size]

[b]K&S[/b]: 
ULTIMATE, #1 place for farming! Up to a certain level, though. Some people still have a few second thoughts about this, due to the number of battles. However, in both EXP and Credits, the K&S is a terrific place to farm!

[b]Mecharoni[/b]: 
If Rusty Rat has become a Wimp by now, and he doesn't give you good enough rewards as he used to, you don't have to do Order #66 anymore. But, if you still want to farm off this place, go ahead.

[b]The Soluna Police Department[/b]: 
The Mega Lupus fight (after you retrieve Clue #14) is a nice alternative for the K&S or the Hospital, if you can't use those yet. Just beware, like the rusty rat, he is quite powerful, so you should bring some good equipment for battle.

[b]The Hospital[/b]: 
Another great farming place, it has good Experience rewards like the K&S. Most people claim this to be better than the K&S at Experience farming at these low levels. However, it's not just the Hospital in general; it's the Autopsy mini-game that helps you, as Icy says, [i]"go from level 3-12 in under a day".[/i]

[b]GEARS University[/b]: 
Warlic's office's quests aren't that good, since they're really just storyline quests. But there is one place to offer, Pandora's Labyrinth. If you have agile fingers, you can get yourself some nice rewards credit wise only, unfortunately. 

[size=2][b]Credits[/b][/size]

[b] Pandora's Labyrinth:[/b]Enter Gears University --> Elevator --> Houses --> (Choose a house to enter) 
If you have agile fingers, you can get yourself some nice rewards. Once you know exactly where to go, it's fast and easy. The general recommendation is to kill the last enemy before treasure chest. Oh, and one more thing, If you complete the quest, you will join the house. [b]Be careful with this decision, as you will not be able to go to another house if desired. [/b]

[b]Order #66:[/b] Enter the Pizza Shop --> Talk to Parma John -->  Click the quest which reads Order #66
Do this only if you think the rewards are still sufficient enough.

[b]The Soluna Police Department[/b]:Go to Police Station --> Officer Duncan--> Open Notebook --> Page 16 --> Mega Lupus/Kerberos
The Mega Lupus or Kerberos fight (after you retrieve Clue #14). People claim it's a good alternative to the K&S and the Autopsy mini-game.
[hr]
[right][b][FG06][/b][/right]
[center][size=3][b]6. Levels 11-15[/b][/size][/center]

Okay, now that you've gotten more powerful, there are some better places to farm. Here's the options that are the most viable to you. Oh, and one more thing, you should probably start farming for those powerful house mechas and the many rares Mechquest gives. 

[size=2][b]Experience[/b][/size]

[b]K&S[/b]: Soluna City--> Knife & Spork Diner --> Talk to Maegwyn --> Contest --> do the challenge that best fits you.
You know the Drill. You should do the challenges that you can handle.

[b]Mega Lupus/Kerberos (Angry Wolves)[/b]:Go to Police Station --> Officer Duncan--> Open Notebook --> Page 16 --> Kerberos/Mega Lupus
In the police department. Go fight Kerberos, one of Cain S. Lupus's elites.

[size=2][b]Credits[/b][/size]

[b]K&S[/b]: Soluna City--> Knife & Spork Diner --> Talk to Maegwyn --> Contest --> do the challenge that best fits you.
Same as above

[b]Mega Spider:[/b] Go to Gears University --> Walk to an area with lots of Cobwebs, to the right of the entrance to Gears University. 
This farming place is in Gears University. When you enter Gears University, you will see an area that has a lot of stick webs. Go there, and a mega spider will attack you. Defeat this guy, and you will get 80 Experience and 500 credits. The only thing you need to be careful of is his stunning web attack. Do this as many times as possible without healing.

[center][size=3][b]7. Levels 16-20[/b][/size][/center]

Ugh, here's when farming becomes a nightmare. These levels feel so slow, it's almost de-humanizing. But the faster you get out of this level rut, the better, so here's a couple places you should go to speed up the process a bit.

[size=2][b]Experience[/b][/size]

[b]Major Braddock Steele[/b]: 

Non-Star Captains: Go to Major Braddock Steele --> Fight Pet
You can fight his Pet. Just watch out for those nasty special effects.

Star Captains: Go to Major Braddock Steele --> Mission --> Suicide Mission
SC: Do the Suicide Mission (eliminate all the SS units on the interface map.) Note: Don't Stray too far from the Healing Pad, as your escape might be cut off.

[b]K&S[/b]: Soluna City--> Knife & Spork Diner --> Talk to Maegwyn --> Contest --> do the challenge that best fits you.
Recommended: Diner Challenge 7, or the Challenge that you can do without over exerting yourself.

[b]Any Current War:[/b] Farm off of War waves, plus this helps by increasing the War Meter. But also, if there's two sides to a war, battle for the Losing Side, or else the War may end too soon, causing you to lose farming ground.

[size=2][b]Credits[/b][/size]

[b]Gears University [/b] Gears University --> Elevator --> Dean button (5) --> Starship Parts
Talk to Warlic, do starship parts

[b]Major Braddock Steele[/b]: 

Non-Star Captains: Go to Major Braddock Steele --> Fight Pet
You can fight his Pet. Just watch out for those nasty special effects.

Star Captains: Go to Major Braddock Steele --> Mission --> Suicide Mission
SC: Do the Suicide Mission (eliminate all the SS units on the interface map.) Note: Don't Stray too far from the Healing Pad, as your escape might be cut off.

[b]Moon[/b]: Travel Map --> go to the Moon --> Communicator/ Mission --> Power Cells Quest, Rescue! (rebel), Defend!
Power Cells Quest, Rescue! (rebel), Defend! Any of these quest will work like a Charm. So choose any of the three that works best for you.

[b]K&S[/b]: Soluna City--> Knife & Spork Diner --> Talk to Maegwyn --> Contest --> do the challenge that best fits you.
Same as above

[b]Any Current War:[/b] Farm off of War waves, plus this helps by increasing the War Meter. But also, if there's two sides to a war, battle for the Losing Side, or else the War may end too soon, causing you to lose farming ground.

[hr]
[right][b][FG08][/b][/right]
[center][size=3][b]8. Levels 21-25[/b][/size][/center]

Finally, we made it to the twenties! Now you have even greater access to places, you should try to get to those shiny Advanced House Mechas. Because the sooner you get there, the better. Now, here's a couple places to be at.

[size=2][b]Experience[/b][/size]

[b]Bossfight! (Bandits!)[/b]: Travel Map --> Go to Planet Westion --> Alamonia --> Go to Sheriff's Office --> Bossfight
Before you do this, make sure you have a reputation of 100 in Alamonia. The dialog may be tedious, but the rewards are worth your time. Don't worry, as this an easy fight, and he occasionally hurts himself for damage.

[b]K&S[/b]: Soluna City--> Knife & Spork Diner --> Talk to Maegwyn --> Contest --> do the challenge that best fits you.
The normal: Do the challenge that is good for you.

[b]Any Current War:[/b] Farm off of War waves, plus this helps by increasing the War Meter. But also, if there's two sides to a war, battle for the Losing Side, or else the War may end too soon, causing you to lose farming ground.

[size=2][b]Credits[/b][/size]

[b]Bossfight! (Bandits!)[/b]: Travel Map --> Go to Planet Westion --> Alamonia --> Go to Sheriff's Office --> Bossfight!
Same as Above details

[b]K&S[/b]: Soluna City--> Knife & Spork Diner --> Talk to Maegwyn --> Contest --> do the challenge that best fits you.
The normal: Do the challenge that is good for you.

[b]Any Current War:[/b] 
Farm off of War waves, plus this helps by increasing the War Meter. But also, if there's two sides to a war, battle for the Losing Side, or else the War may end too soon, causing you to lose farming ground.

[hr]
[right][b][FG09][/b][/right]
[center][size=3][b]9. Levels 25-30[/b][/size][/center]

By now, you have gone to great power, and your Advanced house Mechas have speed up your farming speed ten fold, but you're not quite there yet, so here are some places that will help you get there faster than ever.

[size=2][b]Experience[/b][/size]

[b]Skipper![/b]:Travel Map --> Gark --> Enter Town --> Juice Bar --> Bartender --> Skipper!
Skipper is really easy. Just keep in mind for those nasty Specials. Other than that, it's good to Farm at. Plus, the Juice option can heal you.

[b]Defend Robina's Ship:[/b] Travel Map --> Lagos --> Talk to Prince Robert --> Crow's Nook --> Tetra's House --> Robina? --> Barracuda Reef Exit --> Robina's Rescue Ship --> Battle!
[b]A shortcut:[/b] Go to Crow's Nook, talk to Tetra and do the Barracuda Reef quest. At the start head left to the exit and you'll find Robina's ship on the upper left corner of your screen.

A Short K&S version, that is scaled, so you can get you maximum desired rewards, but your level is not sufficient enough for the items.

[b]100 Floors:[/b]  Travel Map--> Westion --> Alamonia --> Roy Silver's Office --> Go to the Oasis --> Go to Firemane --> Delivery --> Evilcorp Space Station --> Replay Missions --> 100 Floors.
Pretty easy enemies. The only think you have to worry about is the fact that the Mecha enemies can buff their defenses, and that the Miner, 49er is quite strong, so you should bring with you a good energy Blade. Other than that, go on ahead, as the enemies are scaled only up to level 25. 

[b]Mr. Z[/b]: Travel Map--> Westion --> Alamonia --> Roy Silver's Office --> Go to the Oasis --> Go to Firemane --> Delivery --> Evilcorp Space Station --> Replay Missions --> Extreme Mr. "Z"
Star Captains change the level to extreme. Don't worry about Scaling, Mr. Z only goes to level 25, which means you can actually not worry about having him scaled to a power that is twice as good as yours.

[b]K&S[/b]: Soluna City--> Knife & Spork Diner --> Talk to Maegwyn --> Contest --> do the challenge that best fits you.
Challenge 10. It's still good, but from here on, this spot begins to lose its once great luster as a farming spot, but it's still a good option

[b]Any Current War:[/b] Farm off of War waves, plus this helps by increasing the War Meter. But also, if there's two sides to a war, battle for the Losing Side, or else the War may end too soon, causing you to lose farming ground.

[size=2][b] Credits [/b][/size]

[b]Skipper![/b]:Travel Map --> Gark --> Enter Town --> Juice Bar --> Bartender --> Skipper!
Skipper is really easy. Just keep in mind for those nasty Specials. Other than that, it's good to Farm at. Plus, the Juice option can heal you.

[b]Defend Robina's Ship:[/b] Travel Map --> Lagos --> Talk to Prince Robert --> Crow's Nook --> Tetra's House --> Robina? --> Barracuda Reef Exit --> Robina's Rescue Ship --> Battle!
[b]A shortcut:[/b] Go to Crow's Nook, talk to Tetra and do the Barracuda Reef quest. At the start head left to the exit and you'll find Robina's ship on the upper left corner of your screen.

A Short K&S version, that is scaled, so you can get you maximum desired rewards, but your level is not sufficient enough for the items.

[b]100 Floors:[/b]  Travel Map--> Westion --> Alamonia --> Roy Silver's Office --> Go to the Oasis --> Go to Firemane --> Delivery --> Evilcorp Space Station --> Replay Missions --> 100 Floors.
Same as above.

[b]Bossfight! (Bandits!)[/b]: Travel Map --> Go to Planet Westion --> Alamonia --> Go to Sheriff's Office --> Bossfight
This is still a good place to get a good amount of reward, nut now, this place is only good for Credits.

[b]K&S[/b]: Soluna City--> Knife & Spork Diner --> Talk to Maegwyn --> Contest --> do the challenge that best fits you.
Challenge 10. It's still good, but from here on, this spot begins to lose its once great luster as a farming spot, but it's still a good option. Basically, the same as the above details.

[b]Any Current War:[/b] Farm off of War waves, plus this helps by increasing the War Meter. But also, if there's two sides to a war, battle for the Losing Side, or else the War may end too soon, causing you to lose farming ground.

[center][size=3][b]10. Levels 30-33[/b][/size][/center]

By now, we all know the drill: Experience farming has become quite tedious, but [i]we want to be at the top, don't we[/i]? So here are some viable options to do.

[size=2][b]Experience[/b][/size]

[b]Skipper![/b]:Travel Map --> Gark --> Enter Town --> Juice Bar --> Bartender --> Skipper!
Skipper is really easy. Just keep in mind for those nasty Specials. Other than that, it's good to Farm at. Plus, the Juice option can heal you.

[b]Battle Button[/b]: 330 exp at normal. Variety of enemies. Choose normal difficulty, as you can get your rewards faster than Hard or even worse, X-Treme. 

[b]Any Current War:[/b] Farm off of War waves, plus this helps by increasing the War Meter. But also, if there's two sides to a war, battle for the Losing Side, or else the War may end too soon, causing you to lose farming ground.

[b]Lagos[/b]: Travel Map --> Lagos --> Talk to Prince Robert --> Previous Missions --> Defend Camp
Lagos is a tropical paradise for farming, and those nasty pirates won't hurt, as you probably got some good equipment with you.

[b]Defend Robina's Ship:[/b] Travel Map --> Lagos --> Talk to Prince Robert --> Crow's Nook --> Tetra's House --> Robina? --> Barracuda Reef Exit --> Robina's Rescue Ship --> Battle!
[b]A shortcut:[/b] Go to Crow's Nook, talk to Tetra and do the Barracuda Reef quest. At the start head left to the exit and you'll find Robina's ship on the upper left corner of your screen.

The reason why I don't Suggest this Place until now is because of the reward levels, as the Rewards are for level 32-33'ers. Anyways, this is like a Scaled K&S, but with Scaled Rewards, so you can get maximun rewards for it. All you have to watch out for are those nasty Pirate Weapon Specials.

[size=2][b]Credits[/b][/size]

[b]Skipper![/b]: Travel Map --> Gark --> Enter Town --> Juice Bar --> Bartender --> Skipper!
Same as above.

[b]K&S[/b]: Soluna City--> Knife & Spork Diner --> Talk to Maegwyn --> Contest --> do the challenge that best fits you.
Yes, some people claim this still has power, but you want to use this place, there are alternatives to this option.

[b]Battle Button[/b]: Normal level provides great credits and exp. Choose normal difficulty, as you can get your rewards faster than Hard or even worse, X-Treme. 

[b]Lagos[/b]: Travel Map --> Lagos --> Talk to Prince Robert --> Previous Missions --> Defend Camp
Lagos is a tropical paradise for farming, and those nasty pirates won't hurt, as you probably got some good equipment with you. Same as above details.

[b]Defend Robina's Ship:[/b] Travel Map --> Lagos --> Talk to Prince Robert --> Crow's Nook --> Tetra's House --> Robina? --> Barracuda Reef Exit --> Robina's Rescue Ship --> Battle!

[center][size=3][b]11. Levels 33-35[/b][/size][/center]

Since the Cap was raised as of 8/19/09, there isn't much [i]established[/i] farming places yet, but once a little time has passed, there will be more farming spots, but for now, this is all I'll have.

[size=2][b]Experience[/b][/size]

[b]Skipper![/b]:Travel Map --> Gark --> Enter Town --> Juice Bar --> Bartender --> Skipper!
Skipper is really easy. Just keep in mind for those nasty Specials. Other than that, it's good to Farm at. Plus, the Juice option can heal you.

[b]Battle Button[/b]: A Variety of enemies, so it's not repetitive. Choose normal difficulty, as you can get your rewards faster than Hard or even worse, X-Treme. 

[b]Any Current War:[/b] Farm off of War waves, plus this helps by increasing the War Meter. But also, if there's two sides to a war, battle for the Losing Side, or else the War may end too soon, causing you to lose farming ground.

[b]Lagos[/b]: Travel Map --> Lagos --> Talk to Prince Robert --> Previous Missions --> Defend Camp
Lagos is a tropical paradise for farming, and those nasty pirates won't hurt, as you probably got some good equipment with you.

[b]Defend Robina's Ship:[/b] Travel Map --> Lagos --> Talk to Prince Robert --> Crow's Nook --> Tetra's House --> Robina? --> Barracuda Reef Exit --> Robina's Rescue Ship --> Battle!
[b]A shortcut:[/b] Go to Crow's Nook, talk to Tetra and do the Barracuda Reef quest. At the start head left to the exit and you'll find Robina's ship on the upper left corner of your screen.

Now that you are ABOVE level 33, you can (probably) use the rewards from this quest, if you'd like to, at least, of course, that's your opinion.

[size=2][b]Credits[/b][/size]

[b]Skipper![/b]: Travel Map --> Gark --> Enter Town --> Juice Bar --> Bartender --> Skipper!
Same as above.

[b]K&S[/b]: Soluna City--> Knife & Spork Diner --> Talk to Maegwyn --> Contest --> do the challenge that best fits you.
Yes, some people claim this still has power, but you want to use this place, there are alternatives to this option.

[b]Battle Button[/b]: Normal level provides great credits and exp. Choose normal difficulty, as you can get your rewards faster than Hard or even worse, X-Treme. 

[b]Lagos[/b]: Travel Map --> Lagos --> Talk to Prince Robert --> Previous Missions --> Defend Camp
Lagos is a tropical paradise for farming, and those nasty pirates won't hurt, as you probably got some good equipment with you. Same as above details.

A replacement to the usual K&S. This is also good for credit farming too!

[b]Don Tei's General Store:[/b] Travel Map --> Westion --> Khaeldron --> General Store --> HELP!

A possible replacement to Defending Robina's Ship. ShS Enemies are easy to defeat (With the right setup), as well, as having more Enemies. Could be the No.1 Spot until the New K&S Challenges are up.[;)]  

[b]Any Current War:[/b] Farm off of War waves, plus this helps by increasing the War Meter. But also, if there's two sides to a war, battle for the Losing Side, or else the War may end too soon, causing you to lose farming ground

The Level cap was once again, raised to 40, meaning that due to short notice, there aren't any [i]new[/i] farming spots. Yet

[b]Skipper![/b]:Travel Map --> Gark --> Enter Town --> Juice Bar --> Bartender --> Skipper!
Skipper is really easy. Just keep in mind for those nasty Specials. Other than that, it's good to Farm at. Plus, the Juice option can heal you.

[b]Battle Button[/b]: A Variety of enemies, so it's not repetitive. Choose normal difficulty, as you can get your rewards faster than Hard or even worse, X-Treme.

Just to add you can also buy the Braddock Steel Arcade game and after installing it on your starship play the game.
Apon completion you should receive an easy 1600 exp, the better you are at it, the quicker you will rise through the ranks.
Also you will receive credits throughout the game from creatures you kill, usually 3000 plus.

The Soluna Police Department: Go to Police Station --> Officer Duncan--> Open Notebook --> Page 16 --> Mega Lupus/Kerberos


From the Level 6-10 part. I would remove the part about Kerberos, as he doesn't give as good rewards as Mega Lupus (30 XP and 360 Credits compared to 100 XP and 500 Credits).

A suggestion:
putting graphics on low also makes animations go slightly faster, or at least it does on macs & PCs
So yeah, that could help the avid farmer.
