Upon reaching level 100 in Sword x Staff, your immediate priority is establishing a daily farming routine at the Source Grand Shrine to accumulate national currency before investing heavily in gear upgrades or challenging Orochi. Crossing this level threshold shifts character progression from basic level grinding to managing specialized currencies and mastering boss encounter mechanics.

Farming National Currency at Source Grand Shrine

The Source Grand Shrine is the main source for national currency once you cross level 100. Because gear upgrades and refinement costs increase drastically at higher tiers, maintaining a daily farming routine here prevents your character from hitting progress walls.

To optimize your daily shrine farming:

  • Check inventory limits: Review your currency caps and current stamina reserves before starting runs to prevent wasted stamina.
  • Maintain daily consistency: Perform clear runs every day to build up liquid currency for future gear transitions.
  • Focus on clear speed: Prioritize fast clear times to keep your stamina-to-resource yield efficient.

Beating Orochi: Defensive and Positioning Tactics

The Orochi fight serves as the major combat benchmark after level 100. Succeeding in this encounter relies on reacting to telegraphs and managing skill cooldowns rather than relying on raw damage output.

Post-Level 100 Resource Priorities and Daily Order

Once your level 100 routine is established, stop spending resources on low-tier gear. Instead, direct your national currency toward core enhancements and relics that boost base stats. While long-term stat upgrades slow down instant power spikes, they provide a significantly higher stat ceiling.

Structure your daily stamina and routine in this sequence:

  1. Source Grand Shrine: Secure your baseline national currency yield.
  2. Daily Boss Clears: Complete your required Orochi and daily boss attempts.
  3. Bottleneck Stamina Allocation: Dump any remaining stamina into experience farming or gear enhancement materials, depending on what your character currently lacks.
