FFXV 17 - Debased Coin Farming - 44 minutes for 9 Debased Coins Audio Off

Did a time stop on the whole actual vid and then went back to cut in only the parts where I did get the Debased Coins. However, like always, the audio got weird. Oh well. I made my point. I believe this was a luckier run.

Honestly, it felt more like 8 minutes per coin on average. This vid have the average be at 4.8 minutes per coin. Blame the RNG gods.

Tips (What I learned after playing for 9 hours) - Above all else, do go through the tutorial.

1. How To Spend AP Early On (Recommendations)
* Combat: Chained Fury, Warp Factor, Stalker, Light Phase (Helpful)
* Teamwork: Link Up, Super Link Up
* Exploration: Roadrunning, Happy Camping (Optional), Angler Action (Optional)
* Techniques: Regroup (Helpful)
Priority should be taken for Combat and Teamwork first before doing Exploration. My reasoning is, why invest in a house when you don't even have food. Those marked as Helpful are useful, but not critical. Do get them before getting any of the higher AP ones. When spending AP always consider the cost and compare them to others.

2. Leveling Up (Camping/Hotel)
If you care about level, stay at Hotel/Inns with good multipliers. Camp when you know there's a tough enemy you have to fight in order to get the boost. Honestly though, I prefer not staying at either of these. I only stay at one when the chapter is about to end and I have the money for the 2x EXP boost (early on). As for the boost, I rather just dine in. Cheaper for camping sure, but you the multiplier affect of staying at a hotel/camp. I just don't find the pros from camping surpassing the power of accumulating EXP for the multiplier. At the end, it really doesn't matter because AP is the true game changer. Leveling helps, but only up to a point.

3. Elements
As of now, I consider these to be devastating BOMBS. Use these start a battle up and if you pick the right one, the enemy would be dying or dead. Do note they they caused friendly fire; even Noctic is affected. So when you throw them, run away; just like a bomb.

You create these bombs via absorbing the energy crystals near camps. Collect a good amount (I generally have at least an element at 100 before I even consider making it), throw in other elements to increase to potentancy, and then stack an item to be the catalyst (you won't get this back). I prefer the catalyst to be sheeps milk. Cost 10 each and 990 for a complete bomb. 99 of each element and 99 Sheeps milk equal random fireworks (AGAs, no As; Firagas! not Fira)

4. Debased Coin Power Leveling Trick
1) 99 Fire, 99 Lightning, 99 Ice and 20+ Debased Coins = Expericast III x8+
2) Find Bandersnatch (level 38, north of Hammerhead)
3) Use all Expericasts on Bandersnatch
4) Finish A Gentleman's Agree (From Dino, Galdin Quay) = Free 2x EXP Hotel Stay
5) Profit

I farm my Debased Coins near the area of Galdin Quay. I have vid on that, but it's quite time consuming and very random. I used 21 Debased Coins and got to level 42.

When facing Bandersnatch, stay close to the exit and you can run away/flee after you throw every single spell. If someone is dead, just leave the area in order to revive everyone and repeat until you have no Expericast left. If they are dead, they don't earn any EXP when you throw the spell. Above everything else, no, you do NOT need to kill Bandersnatch.

The kicker is in the free 2x EXP Hotel Stay at Galdin Quay. Normally, you would have to pay 10,000 gil. No small amount early on in the game. I ran by this twice before and I didn't notice it until I rewatch my own vids. Remember, this is event needed in order to end chapter 1.
