How To Earn Grade
Tales of Symphonia’sGrade Points are earned by performing well in battle. The less damage the party takes, the more they will accumulate. Ideally, Lloyd and the othercharacters in Talesof Symphoniawill defeat powerful enemies within seconds to gain points, but players won’t always be that lucky. It is also worth noting that taking lots of damage, overusing Tech skills, or having a battle that lasts too long can result in the game penalizing Grade Points and putting the score in the minus.
Farming Grade Points
There is no easy way to earn Grade Points inTales of Symphonia,but when the party can freely travel anywhere on the map, they can pick easy battles to earn more Grade Points. They should travel to the first village and pick fights outside, and the party should be capable of destroying the monsters in one hit. They won’t gain much EXP, but the trade-off in Grade Points is worth the reward.
The Grade Shop
Tales of Symphoniafeatures a New Game Plus mode that lets players restart the game with bonuses that carry over from their first playthrough. Before doing so, players must purchase the perks using the Grade Points earned in battle.
