- Each stages' passive skill has to be unlocked before promotion, otherwise you can't get them. Ex. Level 16 Apprentice's skill, etc. Won't matter if you plan to graduate the student
- Use nicknames to sort and plan students' careers - ex "Momo KGrad! 6p4dex169")
- Easiest way to carry a team of weaklings is to have them hold (on my PC controls, letter U) at the front and use the strong character to beat the level. If they're alive, they gain exp
- Try to graduate as much at max level 10 as possible in early stages to set up farm -> greenhouse. Early access to gold & reputation is great
- Pay attention to what roles are asked for by the Royal Notice for graduation - bonus rewards! Save other classes for better times.
- Always check traveller!! Buy their materials and weapons - they tend to be better than what can be personally crafted. Having gold is useful for this.
- Build and level as many classrooms & dormitories as possible in order to have the exp % increase
- Try to get high fame as soon as possible, useful to have more lots to farm exp / other stats
- no need to overthink too much when strategizing for which students are better, as long as general direction is okay and luck value is good, it's fine. Weapons are most important
- automatically controlled party minions are best for sweeping up barrels
- by holding characters with letter U, you can also block NPCs against rocks (ex. Eve during meet the Masked Orc)
