[ZO]Gaining Potency after Level 170 Part B

Part B:
1. Level 180 and Beyond:
Please note that after level 180, ZPs will be required for almost all potency gained, unless you are extremely patient, and willing to spend hours a day playing.

1a: Gear Super-Addition
Now that you have all your elite gears it's time to "+" them! Up to +5 on weapons, and +4 on inner or outer gears, gear super addition is the cheapest way to get potency (just a mere 2 ZPs for weapons to +1, and 10 ZPs to +1 an outer gear or inner gear, and less than 80 ZPs for +6 on a weapon, and less than 100 ZPs to +4 an inner or outer). You can find + items in almost every market booth. My suggestions for prices: +1 weapons: 1 ZP. +1 outer/inner gear: 5 ZPs. For every +, just multiply the previous cost by 3.

1b: Collecting Potency Raising Cores
Both War Cores and Mars Cores give potency, but they do not come cheaply. Since they give potency, they come with large price tag, some may even cost a few hundred ZPs for just a 6 celled one. If you're lucky, you might be able to find a small, perfect mars or war core to fit in your cabin. If not, consider spending some ZPs in one, each potency you get with them will cost you no more than 60 ZPs (for a 10 celled or small core).

2: Leveling to 181
Leveling to 181 from 180 is also a cheap way to get potency. For each level after 180, since it gets extremely hard to level, you will get 10 potency per level, as well as 5 potency by the rebirths available to do. An hour at Venus Wilds (with a double exp potion, approximately 10 ZPs) will net you around 1-3%, depending on how many monsters you kill. When combined with exp recorder usage (which is the fastest way to level after level 180), say, 5 regular exp recorders (regular exp recorders will level you in the cheapest way possible, at approximately 10 ZPs each) a day, it would be possible to level in under a month, and gain 15 potency as well as a potency mod to get even more potency. Also, getting into a squad that has a squad map will get you 1 percent exp a day, for as long as you hold the map. Do not join any teams. You get less exp during your overdrive skills.

Estimated time/cost to level (15 potency + potency mod)
No exp recorder usage and 1 hour of training a day: 330-1000 ZPs, ~33 days to ~100 days
5 exp recorders and an hour of training a day: ~16 days to ~40 days, ~960 to ~2,400 ZPs
5 exp recorders a day, no training: ~2,100 ZPs, 53 days.
