The main idea behind the Floor Climb is to reach at leastlevel 250 on the item before you finish floor 100. Thus, itisn't a bad idea at all to set a quota for every 10 floors.

This serves as to ensure you're making good progress and toprevent you from going insane when clearing floor 100 with219 levels (and thus, stuck with a level 299 item at best).

Now, keep in mind that you do NOT need to follow this. Thisquota enforcing is mostly to keep you on track. After awhile, I stopped using the quota system myself as I becamemore confident in my Item World leveling (and knew where tomake up for it). But, for those who are new to it and wouldlike to have a nice safety net, I highly recommend doing it.

So, how many points are we going to look at? Well, before wedo that, let's see how many points we get naturally.

Floor Set Growth Gate Bonus Total Levels -F01 to 10 +2 12 -F11 to 10 +2 24 -F21 to 10 +2 36 -F31 to 10 +2 48 -F41 to 10 +2 60

-F51 to 10 +4 74 -F61 to 10 +4 88 -F71 to 10 +4 102 -F81 to 10 +5 117 -F91 to 10 +3 130

Remember, Growth Gates give a higher bonus upon enteringthem more often. There is no choice of gates to enter onFloor 100 so no bonuses will be acquired there.

Looking at this, we will reach 130 levels on an item if wesimply enter every Item Growth Gate we encounter. That willleave us will only 120 levels left to acquire. Not bad. That

said, I strongly recommend you do not stray away from theItem Growth path, no matter what your Item World Radarpredicts you'll encounter.

So, what are the quotas for each floor set? I tend to startlightly and go a bit more heavy the deeper I climb. Reasonbehind this is because Level Spheres appear more frequentthe deeper you go. They're not as common early on. There arethree sets of recommended quota marks to meet. They are asfollows:

---

#1 Quota Set: This is the one I personally use. It's lighton the first fifty floors and seems to ease in with thegrowing frequency of Level Spheres as you climb.

Floor Set GGB Quota Target Level -F01 to 10 +2 +0 12 -F11 to 20 +2 +0 24 -F21 to 30 +2 +10 46 -F31 to 40 +2 +10 68 -F41 to 50 +2 +10 90

#2 Quota Set: This one's pretty popular on the Disgaea 4forum board. It's a tad bit more harsh on floors 41 to 50but less harsh on floors 71 to 80.

#3 Quota Set: Considering floors 21 to 30 are probably thetroublesome floors, it's not a bad idea to opt out of itand make up for it later. This one becomes a lot harder tofollow, but require you to collect any spheres at all forthe first 30 floors.

Floor Set GGB Quota Target Level -F01 to 10 +2 +0 12 -F11 to 20 +2 +0 24

Have a sheet of paper near you and write down one of these

quota sets to follow. Mark your progress as you go down andmake sure you reach your target level at the end of every10 floors.

If you're following the quota system, I suggest you bring aplethora of Mr. Gencies with you. I generally use a pack of

15 to 20 for every level 300 I make. You may use more. Youmay use less. It all depends on your luck in finding LevelSpheres, Fortune Tellers, and Ambush Rooms.

Provided that you're going to double-kill your bosses, youshould have at least 10 Mr. Gencies with you. I recommendbringing an additional 5 to 8 just to be safe.

So, using the quota system, just when do we Gency out? Well,provided that every Level Sphere you find is Green and thatno more than 1 Level Sphere will spawn (as 2 spawning on asingle floor is rare), every floor will be worth 5 points.For every 5 or less points we're missing from the quota,that's 1 floor earlier from the 10th floor we'll be usingMr. Gency to leave at. Here's the breakdown:

Missing Quota Gency Out at -Missing 01-05 -FX9 -Missing 06-10 -FX8 -Missing 11-15 -FX7 -Missing 16-20 -FX6 -Missing 21-25 -FX5

Now, there's an exception to all of this. If you didn't grab

ANY Level Spheres at all from the time you've entered thecurrent Floor Set, just reload. It'll save you a Gency andwill save your sanity.

Now, I know some other people tend to Gency out the momentthey grab a Level Sphere and do not find one on the nextfloor. I do not recommend doing this since you never knowwhen you'll find the next Level Sphere (unless you're atFloor X9). By following the method I mentioned earlier, youwill not only save yourself more Gencies, you'll also clearthe floor set much faster.
