Endgame Checklist (Level 50)
Hitting Level 50 is the start of endgame, not the finish line. There's a real loot grind, several optional bosses, and meta-defining items still ahead. Here's the punch list.
Step 1: condense your core team to 4★
Capture 4 copies of each of your main Pals and condense them at the Pal Essence Condenser. A 4★ condensed Pal has:
- +25% HP
- +25% attack
- +25% defense
That's a flat 25% combat power increase before anything else changes. Priority order:
- Anubis — does work AND fights. Universal pick.
- Jormuntide or Jormuntide_Ignis — your boss DPS.
- Frostallion_Noct — best tank in the dex.
- Paladius — defensive raid anchor.
(See the Tier List for which Pal fits which role.)
Step 2: passive grind
Run your top combat Pals through the breeding system to roll legendary passives:
| Passive | Effect | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Lucky | +15% attack and work speed | Hardest to roll; biggest upgrade. |
| Musclehead | +30% melee, -50% attack speed | Better than it looks on bossing. |
| Ferocious | +20% attack | Common but stacks. |
| Burly Body | +20% defense | For tanks. |
Use the Stat Planner to compare loadouts and the Breeding Pathfinder to find the cheapest path to a target Pal.
Step 3: gear up
Late-game gear progression:
| Slot | Best at 50 | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Armor | Pal Metal Armor | Crafted; Ancient Civ Parts gate |
| Helmet | Multiclimate Undershirt +2 | Bellanoir Libero drop |
| Weapon (raid) | Legendary Rocket Launcher | Boss drop / Lifmunk effigy reward |
| Weapon (mob) | Legendary Assault Rifle | Schematic + crafting |
| Sphere | Legendary Sphere | Crafted; needed for ALL late captures |
The Legendary Sphere recipe is gated behind Ancient Civ Parts. Farm those at the Investigator dungeons (level 40+).
Step 4: raid bosses, in order
- Bellanoir Libero — entry-level raid. Drops the Multiclimate Undershirt.
- Blazamut Ryu — Sakurajima content. Drops Blazamut Ryu's missile launcher.
- Bellanoir Libero Ultra — pinnacle pre-Sakurajima content. 900k HP, phase change.
Beat all three and you've cleared current raid content.
Step 5: base optimization
At Lv 50 you should be running three bases minimum:
- Main production — mining + handiwork. (See the Ore Farm guide.)
- Cake & Egg Farm — keeps breeding running. (See the Cake Farm guide.)
- Combat Pal rest base — SAN recovery. (See the Hot Spring guide.)
Use the Workforce Composition Planner to make sure each base's Pal crew has zero work-skill gaps.
What's left after the checklist?
- PvP if you're on a server.
- Pal Effigy collection for permanent capture-rate bonuses.
- Dungeon speedrunning for the cosmetic schematics.
- Sakurajima exploration — the DLC adds an entire region of Pals and boss content.
When the next major patch lands, regenerate the Tier List (we use a data-driven skill to keep it honest) and check Patch Notes for meta shifts.
