every man has own opinion about it tbh.

Dont even think about staying in low lvl, at least until you unlock all treasures. Otherwise, you are wasting scrolls (free draws).

How old is your server, do you have cross server sage already?

Do you have space time available? If yes, then is your server one of the oldest, in the middle or youngest?

Whats your personal ranking in the server, how much power difference is between you and top, lets say 5 players?

Can you get rank 1-3 during sage right now every time?

Holding back lvl was a good strategy at really old servers (eg. u start now on server 1/2 and without holding back lvl, you wont be competitive in at least sage).

Lets not kid ourselves, as a 93lv/70k bp i still get to fight 70~lvls with 20k power in matsurii from time to time, so argument about matsurii is invalid. Sage indeed has some brackets, I'd say once you get cross server sage, check how you fit there. If u can still get rank 1-3, then u can stop leveling and farm advanced refines, which you will need several thousands of to finish upgrading that power source. Remember that a big downside of holding back lvl is that u give up some power that can matter during 9tails (good gold/cp source)

The majority of exp you'll going to get is from following the story missions in the plot instances. So people will just only do plot instances they have already finished or collect ninja fragments from elite instances. From there, people can stop completing the daily practice but if you're on in a guild with not to many players, it is advised not to stop doing them since they count towards the guild's activity rate, which determines if you get to participate in GNW.

Just don't do the main plot quests if you decide to slow down leveling. The kakashi daily missions count towards the minimal activity of 200 for groups to be able to sign up for GNW. Go look at your group's main page and see if the 3-day activity is higher than 200. If your group c*ways get it over 200, then you don't have to do daily. If your group is having trouble getting it to 200, just do the missions just so your group can do GNW. Only do Kakashi weekly that give out seal fragments.

Do nine-tails only for the coupons and you don't have to try as hard since the higher rank you are the higher the exp you get. Sweep elite instance so you can build 5* characters so you'll be able to refine them. Sweep plot instance to get awaken materials so you can increase power. Just try to do the events for the items, not for the exp.

How many seal scrolls you have? Go for han first then roshi.

Always wait for rebates. Here's math for seal gain to seal spent ratio:

10 seals - 1 rebate - 0.1 ratio

50seals - 5+1=6 rebate - 0.12 ratio

100seals- 10+6=16 rebate - 0.16 ratio

200seals- 20+16=33 rebate- 0.18 ratio

300seals- 30+36=66 rebate - 0.22 ratio

As you can see, going for the highest available rebate in this particular event gives you over twice as many seal scrolls when compared to going for 10seal rebate during 30 events. In a long run this is the best what you can go for and you should do it, as long as you can stay competitive in pvp while saving. If you can't, because other players have rares which you simply cant beat with your current ninjas, thats the only scenario where you should consider going for lower rebate than 300 (still, only if those 100/200 seals for 100% will get you a ninja, that will swing the odds in your favor). I know, that getting 300 seals seems like eternity, but this isn't a game you play for a week. If you want to stay in the top, you need to make a long run investments, patience is rewarded a big time in this game and let's you stay competitive to some extent even with players, who spend hundreds of $ (if they don't follow mentioned rules).

I don't know if you did this but you should at least awaken 12 ninjas for matsuri, ranked, and survival trial before you try to unlocking instances. Stop at level 70 as you are just limiting how much exp you get then you normal do. I also farm materials to create a surplus so once I am able to upgrade/awaken I can do it once I able to rather than waiting. The only time for you to resume doing the story line is just getting to the instance that gives you the awaken material and make sure you stop there and continue again after you max. Because of certain story line missions, you might level too fast depending on how much exp it gives you. Black market helps a lot with getting materials you don't have access to. Also, don't forget you get do elite instance to farm frags for 5* ninjas to refine the frags for iruka so you an excuse to use your stamina.

Even though you can't sweep, you can still get the items. You just have it manually collect all of the treasure chests in the instances. Either increase your power or find a lineup to get the instance to 3*.

sorry for writing again.

i have all of my equipment to kage but i cant upgrade them anymore since the instances aren't opened yet and i leveled up till 72 now. but still i dont have those instances to get the materials. i know i should slow level but if i can't get the materials i can't get power. or not?

If you stop your growth at level 70 you can't run a ton of teams since many of them require the 4th mystery that unlocks at level 80 or the 3rd last passive that unlocks at 85. For breeze dancers means no sand dust and no natural draining, for mb means no iaido, that's the must have mystery for cloud blitz, for sb means no +50% boost damage on wb/summon and no immune shield mystery. The only main you can run without them currently is azure fang, but you still have big problems in wb and snake since she uses skewering for them and in many ninja exams where reserve seal and skewering are required to win and without them you need 20k more power.

so i should level up even if that could make me get bad rewards in sage world?

right now i can be in top 3 all the time.

yeah i saw on youtube that with azure against nine tails and snake summon you need skewering since it does the most dmg. right now im attacking nine tails only once so i dont get lots of exp but because of them im losing lots of coins and coupons. since in my server i can be in top 3 and many times im either ranked 1 or 2nd.
