 ==== A comfy amount of Eden Coins ====
 You'll need these to sustain your continued use of bubblegum and other Eden consumables. They're very easy to get, and bubblegum should be used to farm almost anything. Once you're around level 210, you can easily do the [[Thanatos Tower]] quest to access floor 9. Just finish the quest, go back to the warper and now you should have direct access to floors 7 and 9. Grab all the quests from the 120 board in Eden, port to floor 9 and speak to the NPC by the entrance to be transported to old floor 9 (new floor 9 will hurt too much for you). Farm your way up the floors killing stuff until you finish all 5 quests. I wouldn't stay in floors where there's Thanatos Dolor, as it will cast agi down on you. Do this for half an hour and you'll have a lot of Eden coins and a lot of Zeny. '''Note''': Don't throw the keys away, as they can be used with future characters to speed up the obtention of the Black Key.
+=== Get some easy zeny when you feel like it ===
+An easy thing to farm at this point is {{#item:985}}. You can get tons of it in Istana Cave or by converting {{#item:6223}} that you get from Illusion of Vampire, by talking to Vurewell at @go 50. Converting carries a fee, so it will eat a bit of your profit margin.
 ==== Get yourself a {{#item:550069}} ====

 Illusion Underwater 2 should be a piece of cake at this point and still net you decent profit by selling certificates and raw loot to NPC. Remember to always sell with a merchant for that extra margin from Overcharge.
+You should also do a daily instance rotation at this point. Theres several easy and super quick instances that you should farm every day. Some of them give useful stuff such as {{#item:607}}, some of them give a chance to kill some free MVPs in the hopes of getting an MVP card, and most of them give {{#item:50009}}. To get {{#item:50009}}, you must first take the quests from the board in the Main Office. While you're there, check out what Doil has to offer in his shop in exchange for {{#item:50009}}. The quick instances include Buwaya Cave, Hey Sweety, Central Laboratory (need episode 15 ticket to unlock it), Bioresearch Laboratory, Poring Village and Magic Geffen Tournament (not strong enough for Night Arena at this point). It should take less than 15 minutes to run all of those.
+What you want to do now is experiment what's the best farming spot for you, or alternate between them. The objective here is to accumulate around 200m and aim for a +12A {{#item:550132}}. This will be your endgame weapon, and it's pretty cheap to get. You can either opt for buying it off someone for around 200-250m zeny, but I'll explain how to make it yourself, which is usually cheaper. You can't farm most of what's required for the weapon at this point, so just focus on farming zeny, {{#item:25729}} and {{#item:25731}} if you're going to attempt this.
+# Get the base weapon {{#item:550132}}. This is obtained by opening {{#item:41245}}, which you can't farm yourself for now, but it's normally available in the market if you check with @ws 41245. Buying the boxes will be cheaper than buying the base weapon directly, since every weapon that you get when opening a box can be sold back to NPC for around half the cost of the box.
+# Get it to +9. To do this, combine {{#item:1000322}} with {{#item:984}} at Vurewell (@go 50) to get {{#item:1000332}}. You'll need, on average, 125 {{#item:1000332}} to get a +9. The weapon won't break when you fail, but it will lose 3 upgrades levels. Just keep trying until you get it.
+# Once it's +9, you can do your first item grading from no grade to D! To do this, buy 15 {{#item:1000323}} from Garm @go 50, combine them with 5 {{#item:720}} to get 5 {{#item:1000325}} and use the Enhance Grade option from Garm to attempt grading, choosing the safe option that consumes all 5 {{#item:1000325}}. Be warned that the option that consumes just 1 {{#item:1000325}} can and will destroy your item, so stay away from it.
+# At this point, if you won the 20% chance, then your weapon will be grade D but lose all the refine levels. If you didn't win the 1 in 5, then you got to keep trying. I'm sure you see where these 200m are going, if you get a bit unlucky.
+# To attempt grading from D to C, you'll need your weapon to be +10. To do this, my recommendation here is to make it +9 with {{#item:1000332}} just like before and then use {{#item:102668}} to make it +10. Buy the {{#item:1001552}} and {{#item:1001553}} from the market with @ws, buy the {{#item:1000323}} from Garm. You should have some {{#item:25729}} and {{#item:25731}} from your farming adventures, but if you're short just buy some.
+# Repeat step 3, but this time with {{#item:1000326}}, which is significantly more expensive. Good luck!
+# From C to B, your weapon will need to be +11. Get it to +9 same as before, and this time use 2 boxes to make it +11.
+# Repeat step 3, but this time with the even more expensive {{#item:1000327}}. You'll want some more of that luck.
+# This time you'll need to go to +11 again, DO NOT go +12.
+# All the luck in the world to you, my friend. Each attempt with {{#item:1000328}} costs nearly 30m zeny, and this is what determines whether it would have been cheaper to buy it off someone else or not.
+# Once you one shot that 40% to grade A (cough), go +9 again as usual and then use boxes to refine the weapon to +12. Yes, it goes to +12 with boxes. If you read carefully you'll notice it says the box can be used up to +11. If you use it on a +11 weapon, it becomes +12.
+Farm yourself a {{#item:300455}} and buy a {{#item:27384}} to complete your weapon, equip it, and then feel good cause you just doubled your damage. The transition to endgame is one big step closer.
