What's the best Archive arc to cycle through for XP?

I figure someone has had to of figured this out.. I already got all my doo dads and stuff I'm wondering now what the most efficient arc to just cycle through would be.

There's a specific mission where all you do is hack computers in the first phase, but I can't remember which one it is. ;P

But really, if you're going for biggest load of EXP, any of the latter Unlimit saga tokens will do. Quick EXP, probably something from chapter 1.1 or 1.2.

I heard something about the unlimit ones to.

Like after Anome dies and your cleaning up up latter? Trying to get an exact formula down at the moment As I'm just gonna tweek 50 out here this week.

I'd say chapter 6 and 7. I haven't done any in a while though. I know 6 you are mostly running around talking to Utley, and I think 7 is a lot of talking too.

Parts 2 and 3 of Chapter 5 (well maybe not Merv part 3) has you fighting the Unlimit all of which (in mission areas) are triple chevroned so you'll get max XP per NPC taken down. Missions may take a bit longer because of it, but taking all NPC's possible out plus making sure you are in each area for about 60 seconds (not hard when fighting) should give you maximum XP for your current level plus yummie NPC XP bonus'!

Just take a lower level with you (15-25). The NPCs are so low they drop like flies. Good XP and fast.

In levelling my alt, I did Zion 8.2, 8.3, and 9.1 over and over ad nauseum. The first phases for each of these does not require you to enter combat at all. For 8.3, the first three phases do not require combat. 9.1 also ends with either the last two or, at least, the very last one not requiring combat. 9.1.2 requires a lot of combat, though. It's a good fairly balanced way to go about grinding, and it got me through the grind from 30 to 50 pretty quickly at about a level a day.

If you're worried about getting maximum experience on missions without combat, make yourself a timer macro.

Awesome guys thanks for all the info.

Anyone got any general idea how much XP I can expect from around 12 hours of this a day?

Honestly I have been going at such a snails pace I have no idea the XP rates lately I just kinda take it as it comes.

Wondering how long it would take to go from 42 to 50 with that type of continued focused grind.

yeah, I've always found the chapter 5's to be a perfect source of xp, as well as info. I've found that a good deal of Unlimit NPCs drop as much as 250k info

At 12 hours a day, you'd probably get 1.5-2 levels per day. Around that level, it's about 6 hours of straight, hard grind to a level.
