[edit] How to Train Expertise

• Use a cheap close-range weapon you can purchase from the NPC, Sword of Etude, or Blade of Etude to raise Expertise.
• Ideal training area with quick spawn locations are:
  1. Slime, Gaki, or Will O'Wisp in the Virtual Battle.
  2. Lost Hua Po in Suginami. [X15:Y21] or [X16:Y19].
  3. Kodama in Nakano. [X14:Y19].
  4. Apsaras in Shinagawa. [X22:Y17] between 6:00 to 18:00.
  5. High Pixie in Home III COMP Hack 1-A. They use AoE (Area of Effect) healing spells to heal each other and if 1 is defeated, another High Pixie will respawn quickly.
     • You'll need 20 ~ 40 Agi and Bufu Stones for the 2nd room if you are alone. The Kodama can be damaged with elemental spells only.
     • The COMP hack is a nice private location without anyone interrupting your training.
• Alternately, you can raise the Expertise without killing if you have "Lord of Armor" and any demon with a decent healing spell. Go to Shibuya and find either an Ocypete or Aello. Punch Ocypete to repel Blunt or slash Aello with either Blade of Etude or Sword of Etude to repel Slash. This method is best if un-equip everything except for Expertise gain. Lord of Armor gives the player null knockback therefore you can continuously to hit the bird without being pushed back.
