Trade EXP for Gold
You’ll eschew much of your normally-earned experience points in favor of more Gald. As a result, your levels will remain dangerously low – that is, unless you’re on New Game Plus, in which case they might already be sufficient.
Definitely not
Double Experience
The experience points you earn from battles will double, helping you to level up more swiftly.
Probably; it can speed things up without neutering things too much, helping you to avoid much grinding
5x Experience
Experience point growth will move at fives times its normal speed, making leveling a rapid process. This can even be paired with Double Experience to ramp things up further.
Probably not; unless you really want to power through the game, you’re going to inevitably end up way above average levels, trivializing many fights
Half Experience
As the name suggests, you’ll lose 50 percent of the EXP you’d normally earn.
No; this really slows things down, necessitating a fair amount of grinding if you want to keep to the difficulty curve
Double SP
You’ll earn SP at twice the normal rate. As a result, your characters will learn skills from their titles more swiftly.
Probably; there are hundreds of skills to learn for every character in Tales of Graces f, and this lightens the ordeal within reasonable bounds.
Triple SP
SP will grow at thrice the normal rate. This can likely be paired with Double SP for frankly ridiculously fast growth.
Probably not; not only will this nuke gameplay balance to a substantial degree, but you may even grow frustrated with the speed at which you will need to swap titles!
Double Item Drops
Enemies will drop crafting materials and other tidbits at twice the normal rate. If you’re grinding for Dualizer ingredients, it’ll hasten the process.
Maybe; you will be zipping through heaps of items if you wish to engage with the Dualizer as much as you likely should. It’s helpful, but not absurd.
Dualize Discount
The amount you’ll have to spend whenever you use the Dualize feature will be cut by a whopping 75 percent.
Probably not; Tales of Graces f’s economy is fair without being painstakingly limiating. You should have enough Gald to Dualize as much as you need.
Upgrade Eleth Mixer
The rate at which your Eleth Mixer produces duplicate copies of craftable items increases by a decent amount.
Yes; this is one of the few enhancements that really doesn’t shift balance by much at all. Item creation can be glacial, so you won’t need to run around as much with this enabled.
Expand Inventory
Your maximum number of each item in your inventory will increase from 20 to 30.
Yes; this, too, doesn’t cause a paradigm shift in Tales of Graces f’s design ethos. It’s a nice little boost that you’ll only sometimes notice.
Maximum Speed
The speed at which Asbel runs throughout the world is elevated to its maximum attainable level.
Yes; there’s a great deal of backtracking involved in this game, which can be a frequent point of tension. Make it a bit less tedious.
Chain Capacity +1
The number of attacks your characters can chain together before they need to recharge is increased by one, both in minimum and maximum.
Probably not; while it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, it still presents more of an advantage in early combat than intended. If that doesn’t bother you, then sure!
Chain Capacity +2
Provides a +2 boost on minimum and maximum.
Probably not; see above.
Double Critical
Your characters will land critical hits at twice the normal rate. However, so will your foes!
No; this is a high-risk, high-reward, scenario that should be reserved for replays.
Double Damage
Allies and enemies both deal twice the amount of damage with every attack.
No; while it speeds up combat, Tales of Graces f doesn’t really have any issue with slow battling to begin with, and this can quickly get out-of-hand for new players.
5x Damage
Five times the normal damage for the above modifier.
No; absolutely not. It’s going to feel overwhelming. Whatever you do, definitely do not mix this with Double for the 10x modifier…
Double Gald
Money acquisition is doubled.
Probably not; again, Tales of Graces f’s economy is pretty fair. We suppose it does take a bit of grinding, so go ahead with it if that’s too big a bother for you.
Unlock Qualities
You’ll unlock a few more potential qualities for your equipment, which can, as a result, boost their stats more than usual.
Probably; it’s a fun tweak that can theoretically power you up a good deal more than usual, but it will take real effort on your part to make that happen.
Eleth +500
Your Eleth Mixer’s fullness will be 500 more than it otherwise would have been. This means you won’t need to recharge it as quickly.
Probably; you’re going to be consuming this resource quite swiftly early on, and that really doesn’t change much for a long time. Not needing to see the Turtlez merchants as often is a net positive.
HP +1000
Your characters will have 1000 more hit points than usual.
No; this shakes things up far too much, especially during the childhood arc, which is easy enough as-is.
