Genkai Confusion

[Serrin]

I have looked it up online and in the guide (though that's not at all helpful) and listened to people talk about it in game...

But I still do not grasp this Limit Break thing. Sure, I know you need to do it to progress past certain levels...and that's about it. ;

So...someone...please explain to me. I'm Lv45 and nearing Genkai 1...and have no clue wtf is going on. Do I have to do it before 50? Can I not level past 50 unless I have it done? Can I wait till like...54 and do it? What *exactly* do I have to do...besides go through hell to get items?

>_< Demmit and stuff. Ahem. Anyway...Help meh~ o-o; y0.

You can get to lv. 50, then get to 1 tnl to 51, but can't lv. up. You need to trade 3 key items to Maat (in Jeuno) so he will raise your level cap to 55. Then you can get to 55 at 1 tnl, exc. You do not need to have any quest accepted to acquire the items. You will need to get Exoray Mold (droped off Exorays in Crawlers Nest), Bomb coal (Droped off bombs behind Banishing gate 1 in Garilige Citadel) and a Piece of Ancient Papirus (Droped off Litch skeletons in Eldime Necropolis). All 3 items are Rare/EX, so they can't be traded. Get these 3 items, then talk to Maat and trade the items to him. Let me know when you are going to do this, I'll help.

You can do a Genkai run early if you like, so you can talk to Maat and give him the items now.

After G1 you need to do a Genkai for every 5 lvls. (Caps at 50, 55, 60, 65 and at 70 the dreaded Maat fight)

*parappa the rappa-style*
here we go now....

once you get level 50, you cannot level up any further. You can get all the EXP, but you'll never level up.

Once you complete Genkai 1, you can level to 55.
