I don't use Players Guides for any games. Before starting the max stats, I was at level 99, I had already gotten all the Recipes, Cards, and Maps, I had beaten all the side quests, and I was originally going to earn coins by killing enemies. While selling cards for some quick coins, I realized that Amazy Dayzee cards sell for 300 coins each. I found out where to find Amazy Dayzees by looking around, and I tried catching one with a Catch Card. I knew that the higher level I was, the easier it is to capture enemies with Catch Cards. So after catching the Amazy Dayzee, I then formulated my strategy from there, while gradually improving it as I went on.
I also thought that getting the max stats would take longer than it took.
