Rank and Stamina

In Tales of Link, a player's level is called Rank. Rank is increased by gaining EXP in quests and events. The player's stamina, which is used to complete events, is determined by rank. Each "rank up" -- when a player reaches 100% exp -- refills the stamina bar, and max stamina will also be increased every few levels. Stamina refreshes at a rate of 1 Stamina per 8 minutes.

Where to get EXP
In quest mode, two places in particular give the best EXP. Both are in Area 4, Roard Region. Please note the dates given are at reset time (12:00 AM GMT), so US time zones will experience these events the evening before at 4:00 PM PST.


 * Bewitching Thicket's final stage, Land of Shattered Power, is arguably the best quest location for EXP. On Sunday, the area gains a 2.0x EXP boost, making it the best time to rank up.


 * Corina Mountain Road's final stage, Fighting as One, is the second best option to level. It often times becomes better than Bewitching Thicket, as it gains 1.5x EXP on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Two event stages are also usable for EXP:


 * Ares Realm, when available, gives a great amount of EXP per stamina. This option might not be the best choice given the sheer difficulty of the area, but because the final floor can be continually repeated, it is an option.


 * Key of Weapon is another option, if the player chooses to spend keys on EXP rather than gathering weapons. The EXP given for each stage of a Key Level is the same, so spending 3 stamina on the Normal stage will give an optimal amount of EXP quickly.  Because this stage uses 3 stamina rather than 4, and can be completed in a nominal amount of time, this most likely is the best use of resources for leveling when Bewitching Thicket is not 2.0x EXP.
