How to Train Expertise

Bring a cheap gun (unless you have a gun that raise Expertise.) and a lot of Bullets L (~1,500 , ~3 inventory space) to train.

• Unequip all your gear (except your gun and bullets of course) and shot at Slimes or Will O'Wisps in Virtual Battle.
  • Do not unequip your gear if it contributes to Expertise gain. Otherwise, strip naked to save dura and your macca.
• Start a (Need Hacked Chip A) Home III hack run (Newbie Demon Buster).
  • Also bring a lot (~100) of Chakra Crepe and use them when MP runs low. The Virus status set regeneration to 0.
  • Bring at least 20 - 40 Agi and Bufu stones for Kodama if you solo.
  • Use Full Metal Shooter for expertise gain.
  • At boss room, shot the High Pixies instead of Oberon himself. As they spam heal on themselves, you won't kill them (unless you are dealing ~200 damage per hit), thus giving you the chance to train all you want.
• Lost Hua Po's spot, near Home III Entrance at Suginami.
  • If other players is training on the Hua Po, please be polite and leave unless you are asking for trouble.
• Apsaras at Shinagawa. Located a bit near with Knight Templar Futagami.
  • Appears at Weekdays Morning (6:01 - 17:59) only.
