Persona 3 Reload's best methods to rank up your social stats! 

Nice video. Definitely great to support my understanding of the notes. A lot of people get confused that 1 note = 1 to 2 points, 2 notes = 3 to 4 points, and 3 notes = 5 to 6 as it is never stated so in the game. To share some insight, I usually only did stat boosting activities at night time as most social links are after school only, so movies and afternoon work was usually never an option for me. At the beginning, I went to wakatsu, wild duck, and hagakure for the two notes, but I wondered why the arcades also gave the same notes despite being more expensive as I forgot about the point difference between notes. I was loosely following a guide when I realized I was behind because I did the cheaper option. So definitely focus on arcades at the beginning to get the most points out of your time, but the big thing is when you unlock the hagakure bowl and seafood platter for 4 points as they are cheaper but locked to certain ranks in your social stats. Follow the golden hand hunting strategy video on this channel for easy no-effort money farm! Edit: fyi, following this method after messing up a bit at the beginning, I am at 6 courage, 5 charm, and 4 academics in the middle of july.

"I've been waiting for this!"

as for a person who's brand new into Persona games and this one particular is my first one, this guide and the comments are pretty very enriching. Thank y'all so much!!

For the food shops the basic meal and the secret meal both give 2 notes. That must mean the basic meal gives 3 points and the secret meal gives 4 points. So if the secret meal is available then it's better to eat the secret meal then play at the arcade.

For the people confused about how the point system works, notes represent 1 to 2 points until you get 3. The arcade gives 4 points from 2 notes, which is why it costs more than other options.

Wake up babe, new KD360 video...

By the way, eating sea food (second plate ) in Wakatsu restaraunt gives u same amount of academic points as the playn arcade. Notes above ur head doesnt show u all information about amount of point u get. 1 note means u got 1-2 points 2 notes 2-4 points and 3 notes 5+ points And i found dis , some guy calculated amount of points u get Library +2 Staying awake +2 Eating Wakatsu +3 (first plate) Eating Wakatsu +4 (second plate, charm needed) Study with team +4 Arcade +4

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is that once you unlock the Temperance Major arcana card in Tartarus, it will increase the amount of the next stat you raise after that night.

Thank you king 👑

So helpful!!

I Was hitting every stat. Currently for me 7/3 in game. Lvl 4 knowledge Lvl 5 courage Lvl 4 charm. The game is pretty long so i should be ok. Good info mate

Some tips you may've forgotten: - The Temperance Tarot: That increases your Social Stats that you can gain AFTER going to Tartarus. You need to pick this up during Shuffle Time. - Part-Time Jobs: = Chagall Cafe is from Monday to Wednesday Night, busier on Tuesday. It gives +1 to Charm AND Courage AND you get paid. (:P) During Tuesdays, it'll be busier and so, I believe, you get +2 to Charm AND Courage, but if I'm wrong, don't quote me on that. = Be Blue V is from Monday to Friday After School. It gives you +1 to Charm AND Knowledge.

So I guess I'm doing fine, it's my first persona and my social stats are all level five in the beginning of August, that's pretty good right? I didn't follow any guide so I'm actually proud of myself lol

We all know why you choose to up academics😤😏

I definitly used the 10k version the rng resets everytime you reload your save... which I found out when I was already rank 5

Bing chilling

I had NO idea there was 6 in each until now lmao

Wait I thought it maxed out at 5 lol thanks for the guide!

"The Evo line up is getting announced" Already?

Idk if reload has ng+ yet but if it does im going to do my usual method of neglecting half of my s links other than chariot/strength/star and then purposely getting the first option for a bad ending and then using ng+ with all my social stats maxed to worry about maxing all the other s links in ng+. I know im bad but still its what i like to do.

thatd explain why going for prodigy platter was NOT ranking up my acedsmics haha thanks

I wish these guides would say if the activities consistently give 1, 2, or 3 points toward a social stat. If the arcade only gives 2 points, aren't you better off going to a restaurant? If the arcade can sometimes give 3 points, I'd agree, but I haven't seen that nor have any guide suggested that's possible.

it took me til early September to rank up all the stats. I can't believe how annoying academic s was to level up.

wow July. I had them up pretty quick but I slacked a bit on Academics once I hit 5 - then it took longer than I thought to hit 6. I think I maxed mine sometime in August when I hit 6 in Academics.

Why is the arcade game better? For me it gives 2 points but the ramen also gives me 2 points of academics but costs only 900

8:39 for academics, thanks for the video, but mind fixing those time stamps?

So how do the secret menus at the restaurants compare to the normal ones? It’s kinda hard to figure out because you see 2 stat points for every activity available

A few questions- is it possible to check how close you are to rank up like the bathroom in persona 5? Is there a reason to do arcade over others? Do the stat music notes for different activities count for different amounts internally if both methods give two notes? Is there a way to check your current point progression for social stats? Sorry it’s a lot of questions but it’s kind of frustrating not knowing how much progress I’m actually making until a rank up.

Well I saw this too late .. thanks lol could have uploaded this couple of days ago I’m pretty much done with it and I’m not gonna run this back

Is this a good idea: max out all social stars first and do all social links after? I’m in June 15 rn and I max out academics and rank 3 for both courage and charm. My social links are average 2-3 and the highest is 7 for Kaz

May i know what's the function of social stats?

How is the order of leveling up things?

The best method is reading the max social link walkthrough 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Now how do we get enough money for the arcade xD

Atlus really dropped the ball with this note system. They give you no indication that the two notes you get at the arcade are actually more points compared to the two notes you get from restaurants. Why not just visually display the actual number of notes!?! WHYY ATLUS??

6 ranks? That's outrageous! Every other version of P3 didn't have more than 5.

Meh, there is a lot of bad info here. The thing about academics being 3x more expensive point-wise has already been proven false. It requires more, but not that much. There's more you have off as well, but I won't waste my time any further. Maybe do a little bit more research in the future before posting videos with errors.
