Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Nopon Coin Farming - AFK Method 

Choosing Miyabi as hero: to reduce arts cooldown ❌ because she's cute ✅ Understandable

Finally I can farm coins without playing the game and instead talking about how handsome and helpful Enel is to us playing these amazing games.

I think that this coin system is honestly really smart. As much I think that I prefer collecting stuff as I play through the game and see that thoroughness actually pay off in my stats and options, once the credits roll I’d rather just have a quicker way to max my stuff.

Holy hell this is a godsend for the 7 Nopon Medals grind. I get that Monolith really likes the number 539 but this is just ludicrous. Tysm Enel :)

For those who haven't got Teach's class to rank 20 on Sena for the Burst talent art, use Mio as Ogre instead (she gain a burst talent art at the beginning of chapter 6). Since the goal is to burst combo on repeat anyway, you don't actually need the absolute best stats on Ogre, worse stats actually helps to drag the fight out longer and potentially allow for more burst. Additionally, since Miyabi is already the hero, it might be more beneficial to leave the afk/player controlled char as the post-game healer class for additional defenses and a quick healing option should you feel bored and wanna contribute to the fight. Also, also, on a side note, with the food buff now fixed, you can get about 10 gold coins and 15-30 silver coins every 20 minutes.

Small thing that wasnt covered: you can buy a 40% enemy drop rate boost from a "colony" in the cadensia region which is slight better than manana's cooking unless you want the 35% boost to collectibles.

My sort of 2 cents on this method since a big reason to grind for them just released in the N outfit. -IT DEF STILL WORKS IN THIS STATE OF THE VIDEO AND GAME. I have no idea if Enel intends to come back with adjustments or anything, but even if not dont worry because it def still works. -There is another way to get a higher % drop bonus then the recipe in the video. In the central cell canteen in Li Garte Prison camp you can order the nutritious block bar which gives you 40% vs the 35% from the crumblecrunch block bar. You are losing the 35% collectible drop bonus but if you want that extra 5% its there in the Nutritious Block Bar -You do not need the gems to 10, you will find your survivability is ridiculous and it all just kinda works out. I'm around level 5-7 on all my gems and I couldn't beat the boss past lv. 180 (although I only tried once and went back to the 120 retry which works) -Timing wise on the level 120 version of the boss it never got longer than 16 minutes and i beat it as fast as 11. -Make the time to grind the accessories for all 7 characters cause you'll never know when you'll want to hop in the fight. Hell even use what ever parts of the build you have to burst loop the bosses you get the accessories from. -It took me over the course of 3 days and just over 15 hours of play time using the 40% boost instead for a LARGE majority of my grind. Then again it should be stated I started with 1 of the Nopon Seven Star Medals. -I did not try it below level 99 but I'm sure you could give yourself a few levels but I wouldn't risk it above the 120 boss. And you can do it if you start the soulhacker class at level 1 w/ the exceptions of the required skills and arts. Those are neccessary. Genuinely its not that bad. Afk methods I feel are a really valuable thing so having noe like this is pretty great if you genuinely have the time. The worst part is getting the set up but documentation and methods are there to make that easier. If you have a lot of time on your hands the worst thing you'll worry about is keeping your switch charged and your meal timer full. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Holy shit and I need 7 total nopon star medals??? My god.

Only very minor addition I'd add is using Healer Post-Game Hero as your AFK character as their skill grants a 15% damage reduction

Finally... I was wondering if Gold coins could be farmed or not. Glad to hear both can be farmed relatively easily.

Oh my god, this guide is a gift from the heavens. Having to grind 150 materials per X gem is so tedious, yet I want to have all my gems maxed for the upcoming Challenge Battles just in case. I'll be farming the rest of the good gems manually (want to do that before challenging the super bosses in the first place, though I realize it's not really necessary) and then I'll be staying with Ceratinia for a short little while I think. Also, a minor thing you could improve upon: by definition, benefits are already positive, so you don't need to say "positive benefit". I don't think anyone minds, but since your videos are already fantastic, there isn't much else I can contribute!

2:07 “Miyabi is in the hero slot simply to reduce Art cooldown and also because she’s cute.” Personal opinion of Enel: Increased by 30%

Thank you for making these videos. I'll admit I always have a bit of a slow start when playing games like these, so your information helps a ton.

Sweet, this is quite an epic option as I don't have many classes mastered despite having recently finished all the class mastery quests and am excited to see that I can easily get a some of the better gems to rank X while I'm at it. Also good motivation to beat the superbosses before challenge mode comes out

Enel you are a Beast. Thank you for all these awesome videos, this will be a nice change of pace. Hope your wrist is feeling better.

This will help me out so much. Thank you Enel!

God thank you so much for this. The grind has been real for this and I was getting super exhausted from it. You're a lifesaver.

Great video enel keep it up I’ve been needing this to help with some classes that I’ve been lacking in

This now is even more useful for people because you need in total 539 medals just to get the kevesi outfits for the newest update.

Thought "hey I just saw an article about this on hyperT's blog" when I saw this video's suggestion, then was pleasantly surprised at your intro/shoutout to them. XB gods working together, we love to see it.

It's almost like you saw my comment on your gem guide video. Tysm for this!!

Your build is so great ! Works in hard mode too for a ~40min fight (and somthing like ~30 gold coins per fight when you have the 40% drop boost from Li Garte)

Dude your a machine! Thanks for all the vids.

Well this is beyond helpful fans been waiting for this type of guide gold nopon coins are a godsend & also AFK method is awesome too.

Thanks for making these videos they will help me out with some things I having difficulties with

Cool! I'll be sure to check this out when I reach post-game!

Ay yo, thanks for the method my G. You are a legend.

I will most likely be using this setup when farming UM parts for Level X Gems because I feel like that will be better than farming for Gold Coins

Hello enel, found your channel thanks to chuggaconroy and it's helped me A LOT! I finally beat all the super bosses thanks to your tips and am currently farming nopon coins with your method, thanks so much you wonderful person!

Now that manana’s cooking and the canteen effects actually work now, technically the drop rate for nopon coins increased so this method of farming is a little faster now!

Niiice. It's also pretty good farming for class ranks too, since you'll max out on silver coins quickly. Thanks for the guide Enel, and ty to the cool community members that put the strats together :D

I love this! It’s exactly what I need at my stage of the game and it’s something I can do while I study or when I’m taking care of my baby nephew! I’ve been using this to level classes for the player character too while I do all this.

For those curious, this grind took me about 70hrs, which includes maxing all gems with gold coins, maxing all classes with silver coins, as well as replenishing on food. Happy grinding and thanks for the video Enel!

Well this might be a nice change of pace. Haven't even started the gem grind yet but I'll keep this in mind

these guides are amazing , honestly they make me love xenoblade 3 even more regardless of the MASSIVE grind, thanks Enel.

Great guide, needed the silver now can upgrade my other classes to lv20. Finished getting all my colonies to max. Maxing gems only thing left for me in this game and buying those secret accessories with silver.

Oh thank goodness! I'm so relieved I can just do this instead of farming the collectibles manually over the course of 7 hours while cross-referencing a messy, smudgy notepad containing pages of UM locations like a total chump!

I need to do this method for the consul N outfit T n T

This absolutely the best xenoblade 3 channel around. I appreciate all your work on these videos

Thank you enel I can finally get all classes to LV 20

Fantastic video, this setup is amazing and works so well! Lots of farming now to max gems....

These guides are cool, but I am really looking forward to all of the class guides. Can not wait for Lost Exile and Machine Assassin (even though the latter is not a good class)

Used the Demihuman Gutter reset method to level everyone's classes to 20, except for Noah's defender/healer classes. Definitely didn't feel like using a much slower method to level Noah's other classes and then grind for gems, but seeing THIS method, I can knock out 3 birds with one lazy stone! Silver for Noah's classes, gold for the gems, and soul hacker to get the superboss ability since I haven't beat it yet!

Nice, thanks for the video and HyperT for the setup method. Now time to mine those coins :D

The best character to put on Ogre is actually Mio. By the time you have access to the Chasm, she’s guaranteed to have a Burst Talent Art she can use on any class. I love inflicting Break or Topple as Mio before using the Burst Talent Art right away since the Art has a long animation (and I’m pretty sure it inflicts Burst all throughout) and I can usually Trust the AI to Daze in a timely manner. Plus, Mio Ogre does less damage than upgraded Sena, which is a good thing since the enemy will stay alive longer, allowing for more chances to get items.

Oh my god, thank you for this

To add my 2 cents, I think the farm is more afk friendly on normal mode after you have every party member at rank 20 for soulhacker. On easy, using Enels build, each fight lasts between 11-15 minutes, but on normal it can last between 25-30. Although, with all that said, miyabi does work the best, just in case you have a bad attack cycle and multiple party members die she can restore their arts to full. You can also equip your afk Character with a class you don't have maxed yet to utilize everything the boss "drops" including class points.

Damn. I wasted like almost a full day grinding materials. I saw a video of someone grinding coins off this boss but they were manually playing and it took them forever for like 3 coins. Cant wait to test this out.

I wonder if the Challenge Mode coming in December will add more things to buy with nopon coins as well as being able to earn them in the Challenges themselves? I hope we get more attachments and non class based clothing options with this as well.

Saving this for later; pretty amazing stuff.❤️

This is amazing. Ty so much for this, I’ll definitely be looking into it in the future. Theoretically, could this setup basically be applied to grinding out anything and not just coins?

Using gold coin to craft gem take way longer than actually farming the required materials because with a burst setup you can easily get all the mats from a specific monster in 1 or 2 fight but I guess this is great for people who are too lazy to farm. Thanks Enel can't wait for more videos. Off topic but I dreamed about FMJ having access to Ghost Factory, Zero Zero and Executioner in this game and it was beautiful, XCX brainrot never ends even with XC3.

Was wondering if you could help me with the quickest way to get a burst combo finisher. I'm currently level 75 but still on the very early parts of chapter 4. I've explored the forest and found a swamp with 75 dragons/gogols and I haven't gotten any characters with the burst finisher yet. I feel like I'm wasting these monsters not being able to burst for drops.

I'd be interested to know whether there's a place to effectively farm silver coins at lower levels, to allow for quickly expanding access to skills/arts of all classes

I love all of your guides! And it’s not really related but I keep hearing that if you find all the landmarks in an area it fills out the map for you is this true?

Great method! But maybe using this method to farm UM is faster since by using the burst method the drop rate of materials should be bigger? Of course since some are lower leveled you can´t exacly go AFK so much but maybe it will be faster in the long run to farm that way instead of the coins route? It would be a neat test

Just finished grinding out all level X gems earlier today, but this is a godsend for getting all my classes to lvl. 20. Fighting the lv. 120 superboss for the 50th time with random classes on everyone for levels was starting to get supper old.

I will say I did get a gold coin dropped by the drague superboss but this looks so much nicer than what I have so thank you for this info

I have all the most important gems already, but this is an absolute godsend for the rest of them. Thank you so much!

the shimmering marcko in the urayan tunnel drops gold coins (silver too) with this method, I figured this out while I was farming for level X gems last week. I also suggest anyone looking to extend the fight further to add a common shield belt from Keves Castle to each character to decrease both damage given and received making for more blast opportunities - Id also say just fight the marcko since its not as crazy stacked as the final boss and switch everyone to a troubadour class with a B,T,D,B art so you do the least damage with the most blasts and you can sub out the smithy gloves for the belt.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the heavy breathing done by the lv 90 zenze Taos that's just sleeping there on the pillar. Really unnerving the first time you hear it. I've followed your team set-up enel but rather than use it to slay the lv 120 superboss over and over again for 99 coins coins, I've just been hunting down the required mobs needed for the X gems with 40% drop rate and popping the game into hard. Get more drops after the 'daze' combo has finished. I was able to get two X gems in under 8 hrs.

Im actually crazy enough to do this grind. It took me around 90 in game hours to complete. I could have cut off several hours where I was away from the switch between fights. There was also a couple crashes losing me a few hours. Starting out I had 75% of every character's classes at rank 10, with two level X gems already. I found you could get anywhere from 3-15 gold coins and about 30-50 silver coins every fight. I dont recommend using this to max gems and classes. I felt i could've had a more enjoyable experience hunting for some of the gems myself. Maybe use coins for the gems you don't feel like hunting for or when there is a monster drop that's hard to get. I would love to see how long it would take to hunt all the materials, and max out all classes without coins. Then compare times and how the experience was. Thanks for the guide!

Of course this video drops the second I get the last material for the final rank X gem. Hope this helps other people out.

Do you have any recommendations for a Soul Hacker build for Smash Combo, like skills and accessories?

I may or may not do the gold coin farm cheese here but I think I'm going to hang onto that 6-healer 1-ogre loadout for a vindictive win-button option if any of the remaining bosses I have to deal with in the story or anywhere else get frustrating.

Haven’t finished the game yet, so definitely will do this later on

is there anything to do with all of the extra origin metal fragments after you upgrade all the base classes? I went way too hard worrying about getting every one I saw before I found out what they were for

would it be better to have glittering melody on sena? or would it not matter because miyabi already has that talent art?

This method is equally as effective in farming the actual materials needed for the gems, more so with the last two patches. Though, you can't be as AFK because you need to be near the materials to get them unlike coins. Thanks so much for this vid.

This is probably a very small/negligeble optimization, but since we theoretically want the boss to last as long as possible, wouldn't it be better to give the Ogre class to someone other than Sena (since she has a higher Attack stat in the class)?

Exactly what I needed... Thank god, the farm was getting tedious.

The smithy gloves can be gotten from the single lv 53 ansel unique in everblight plain

Ey, i need some help with the One with the Land skill, you'll see, I know that the bosses 4 Blades In The Dark gives this skill and they are on colony 15 and you need to clear chapter 6, but there's nothing in the colony, what am I missing? Thanks :D

Sweet! Time to finally 100% this game :)

Do u need to have T in your party as Hero, to unlock his skills, or is it required to have someone in the party using the class to unlock the new skills by defeating super bosses? (Or even both??)

Use this same method to farm for gems and youre just as golden. I used a similar method, but i didnt stack all the soulhacker healers with cooldowns like this. I'm thankful for you smarter guys that are able to take things three steps further than me. Do the AI controlled attackers use attacks in a certain order, as they are placed or anything?

So what is the benefit to have the soul hacker set to healer class... what does it change or do? And where can I find this Nopon Coin Exchanger... ?

ENEL THE LORD AND SAVIOR OF XENOBLADE FANS. I am NOWHERE near this, I havent even found one of the superbosses yet, but I am 100% using this once i get there

Does the burst combo also drop accessories? I'm trying to farm a UM and he just WONT drop the break brooch because I sold the guaranteed drop after first kill, at least this video tells me that he doesn't just drop it once and that's it for this playthrough

Dude. It’s awesome you give credit and shout outs to the international players and content creators

something I realised while doing this method is that the player control character can be whichever class you want/need to level up and you can cycle through which character you want to gain CP with

I literally missed that you can use Nopon coins for ranking classes. I kept opening canisters and auto selling the silver coins. Would of saved so much grinding time.

so i finished putting this together, bullied obliterator centario 10 levels under with it for an hour while i did stuff on the side. this is pretty solid. my only question is, how do you handle loot pickup? doesnt it despawn if you dont walk over it?

just a question, what UM can you farm Break Brooches from? I only have the common one from Riku and Manana that you can unequip in postgame.

Just gave this a try. I was using the food which gives 40% drop rate, weaker gems and accessories (I don't have enough break brooch so used nopon strap on Sena). My soulhacker arts and skills are not enhanced yet. Tried with 4 rounds with ~10mins per round, and I was able to get ~30 gold nopon coins and ~50 silver nopon coins. Also I find it's better if I control Lanz as I gave their Oroborous several launch arts and I don't want them to launch the monster.

That's a great farming method. I can basically just watch some anime while occasionally checking the undocked Switch to see if Ceratinia is dead or not.

I recently capped on gold coins, what do you recommend spending them on first? And if on a gem, which one?

This strategy will work for beating the other super boss fights as well, although swapping out One with the Land for Breath of the Sea is the only tweak for the aquatic SB.

Gonna hazard a guess that once the Nopon Sage opens his battle arena, we will be swimming in coins. I actually need more silver ones for the classes and maybe some accessories. I hard farmed all the items for the gems which honestly was a lot of fun, especially when I could just farm a unique monster and have You Will Know Our Names - Finale play while on hard mode. Thanks for the guides.

I found out that this build is the best afk farming method not just by nopon coins but even accessories and materials from UM. Farming for the materials for X gems is faster with this method versus nopon coins. Just set difficulty to hard (to make the boss last longer), lock screen with the boss and use a rubber band pointing upwards so your controlled character runs around the boss picking up any materials they drop after a burst combo.

How do you keep the items from disappearing if you’re AFK and not actively picking everything?

THANK YOU ILY

I was just wondering why you changed your pfp but you answer that question real quick

Can you only get one break brooch from Carlos cause I keep killing him and nothing

As someone who used to afk brutal farm in tales of vesperia this is right up my alley. Was really disappointed ng+ didn't reset the coin drops on UM first kills since it reset their tombs.

So what skills for taiyon? You didn't cover that.

Does this method only work on that super boss? Or can I do it on the other ones too

Despite copying this setup exactly, I'm only getting about 3-5 gold coins and 8-11 silver coins per kill (with the prison food and maxed Item Retriever). Did they nerf this already, or have my first 8 runs just been exceptionally unlucky?

Hey Enel! Just beat the game and I’m overwhelmed on what to do post-game….idk if I should get the gems first or start killing UM for soulhacker or leveling up classes…what should I do first in your opinion? :D

Wonder how much time will be shaved off of the farming now that food actually works.
