Final Fantasy XV: Cup Noodle XV Special Edition

The point I'm making is you're going to have a lot of wasted exp by the end of the game if you always do 2x exp only if you are the type who does all the content in the game. You'll be much better off camping in the long run. I'm comfortably level 69 with a lot of content left in the game and I never once did 2x exp. I'm not telling you how to play your game. I'm just telling you that doing 2x exp exclusively will eventually net you a lot of wasted exp.

A lot of the recipes Ignis just comes up with once you have the ingredients.

Stacked Ham Sandwich: +50% EXP (and +200 HP) – Cooked by Ignis. Ingredients are Garula Sirloin, Fire Gighee Ham & Aegir Root.
Mother & Child Rice Bowl: +30% EXP (and +50% Drop Rate, +1000 HP) – Cooked by Ignis. Requires Chickatrice Egg, Birdbeast Egg, Saxham Rice.
Royal Banquet Canape: +50% EXP (and +75 to Strength/Magic) – Cooked by Ignis. Requires Arapaima Roe, Kettier Ginger and Allural Shallot.
Lasagne al Forno: +100 EXP (and +4000 HP) – Cooked by Ignis. Requires cooking level 9 and ingredients Jabberwock Sirloin, Cleigne Darkshell and Fine Cleigne Wheat.
Galdin Gratin: +10% EXP (and +50% Strength/Magic, +500 HP) – Mother of Pearl Restaurant @ Galdin Quay
Fat Chocobo Triple Decker: +50% EXP (and +400 HP) – Wiz Chocobo outpost after ‘A Feathery Feast’ sidequest
Fine Caviar Canape: +50% EXP (and +75 to Strength/Magic) – Maagho, Altissa.
Maagho Lasagna: +100 EXP (and +4000 HP) – Maagho, Altissa.

Summons can be gotten early if you do the main quests. Not if you are doing all the sidequests like I did. But they aren't really that useful anyway and are more of a last resort kind of thing.

"Only" in this case isn't saying "I'm only level 29" as in I'm really low level, the context is "I'm only level 29 because" which means "I understand I am higher than I should be at this time for the following reason."

The point of the post is that I may be level 29, but I'm not far into the game. I don't have much information about areas, recipes, or anything else. I may be level 29, but I have not progressed far enough into the game to get a sense of all the mechanics. I certainly don't have a library of recipes available to me or know where to get them. I don't have any summons, but I know they're somewhere fairly early in the game because I saw JP (streamer) use Titan. I just unlocked chocobos the day before yesterday and used them for the first time yesterday. That should give you an idea of where I am in the game as a whole.

If you'd like to help me with some useful information, like where I can find a recipe that gives bonus exp, that's great. If you're going to argue with me over the use of the word "only" or complain about the way I'm playing a single player game, go find someone else to argue with.

He can either learn the Fat Chocobo Decker sandwich from Wiz's chocobo stop which is a +50% exp Bonus food, or Rank 9 cooking he learns a lasagna that gives +4000 HP, 100% EXP earned, Immunity to all elemental damage

Edit- I should note that the exp bonus only seems to apply to enemy kills though, doesn't seems to work on quest rewards or experacast spells

Keep all your rare coins, debased banknotes etc that give exp when combined with an element. I think it was combining 8 rare coins with an element, and 11 debased banknotes that gave the best bang for your buck. Doesn't matter what mob you use it on, can be weak as shit, it's the same amount of exp regardless. When I was in my early 70s I decided to get to max so made a few sets of flasks, spammed them all on that Jabberwocky near Hammerhead, saved up 3mil exp, went to Altissia and rested at the x3 exp hotel - I easily hit the cap with like 2mil exp left.

Maybe you should just play the game for a while and chill, aim for the Altissia bit of the main storyline and then start exp'ing the hell out of the game.

A note, one exp dish can be found in Lestallum during day. In the parking lot, there's a woman on the bench eating food. Approach her and you'll learn it.

[shukudai]

She's eating with her child, it's the Mother & Child Ricebowl. But if you go back a bit later, you learn another one, like Father & Child ricebowl or something. first one is 50% xp boost, 2nd one is 100%

[Eurell]

How fucking creepy is it when these poor people are just trying to eat some lunch, and they get surrounded by a group of guys taking pictures of their food and talking about how they can cook that shit at a campsite.

[Vaspinne]

All this talk of the mom and child bowl reminds me that they didn't come close to even hinting at who was Noct's mom did they?

For something that came out of Japan even knowing about one of hero's parents is peculiar.

[Seha]

I doubt it's important.

[Uzor]

She gave Regis an heir, she served her purpose. Who cares who she is?

[Kurstone]

Oh if you're worried about tallying exp because you have to sleep, just use the no tally accessory everyone got, forget the name

[Seha]

Maybe it's just me, but I don't really see the point of decking the towns without any real content addition..it's not a mmo where you login everyday to do stuff.

Moar story! (and new areas!)

[Tyrath]

Yeah wtf. Is there any content in that?

[Greedouw]

What is this shit?

[Omniyoji]

They're not going to fix these games like we want them to. Wysiwyg etc

[Vaspinne]

So I went to google stuff about the Chocobo Carnival and found this page (which doesn't really tell you much about the event)

http://en.yibada.com/articles/185836...dlc-update.htm

But I did notice the teasing of an "Expansion". While I know there's going to be story DLC for the 3 bros, this is my first time hearing about anything in the form of an expansion. I dunno if this is new or if I've just been blind to it for some time now, but adding DLC vs adding an Expansion seem like 2 very different things to me in terms of quality/quantity of content.

Also, according to a FFXV tweet, they've shipped and sold 6 million copies of the game.

Edit: This part in particular makes it seem like they're going to be adding more to the game then previously detailed

It seems that Square Enix will be working on a new expansion for "Final Fantasy XV" for their post-launch plans as game director Hajime Tabata told Famitsu (via Famitsu) that they are working on something "awesome" to the sequel's storyline.

This comes as an addition information to Square Enix plans to "evolve" the current game with slight changes to the game’s story, including reworking "FFXV's" 13th chapter, and the previously detailed Season Pass episodes. Now Tabata is describing currently planned updates and DLC as laying a foundation for future initiatives and it seems as if Square Enix is escalating their post-launch content plans every time it is brought up.

Thanks for the info guys. Got the Mother & Son dish, but didn't some ingredient until last night anyway. Ended my marathoning session with about 12-14 hours added on this weekend and

Spoiler: show

defeating Leviathan. That fight took forever for me. I think I was being too cautious at first and should have been mashing O the whole time.

Ended up at level 53 or something. Started the carrot farming stuff, got a Magitek Shield that makes Prompto not die in 5 seconds, and finished most of the sidequests that were available to me up to this point. Still have Hunts and some random sidequests I didn't do (anything with fishing involved because I hate it, couple higher level quests, and the photograph the forts quest.) Did the Altissia Hunts immediately because they were all night hunts and within the city.

Story spoiler:

Spoiler: show

I almost cried during the dream sequence after Luna died.

[Laugana]

I sadly got spoiled for that event so it didn't have the same impact.

Fishing: I didn't really get the hang of it until right at the end, near the cap (level 9). I had like a lightbulb moment when it finally twigged with me how to do it properly.

[ninjafox]

In my way to my third king weapon and run into Midgarsnake. Second big NM I ran into at a much lower level
