*UPDATE* In the video I mentioned that you need 10 DVEXP per level up for your Digivolved Digimon. While this was true for the Digimon I was experimenting with, some Digimon will eventually require 50 DVEXP to level up, and the level at which they go from needing 10 to 50 can also vary between Digimon. Below Is a tier list which outlines that information. --- Tier 1 --- Levels 01 - 99 = 10 DVEXP per level Total DVEXP = 980 Greymon, Growlmon, Dinohumon, Grizzmon, Hookmon, Angemon, Kyubimon, ExVeemon, Stingmon --- Tier 2 --- Levels 01 - 95 = 10 DVEXP per level Levels 95 - 99 = 50 DVEXP per level Total DVEXP = 1140 MetalGreymon, WarGrowlmon, Kyukimon, GrapLeomon, Armormon, MagnaAngemon, Taomon, Paildramon, SkullGreymon, MetalMamemon, Kabuterimon, Angewomon, Devimon --- Tier 3 --- Levels 01 - 90 = 10 DVEXP per level Levels 90 - 99 = 50 DVEXP per level Total DVEXP = 1340 WarGreymon, Gallantmon, GuardiAngemon, Marsmon, Cannondramon, Seraphimon, Sakuyamon, Imperialdramon, BlackWarGreymon, MetalGarurumon, Rosemon, Digitamamon, Myotismon --- Tier 4 --- Levels 01 - 80 = 10 DVEXP per level Levels 80 - 99 = 50 DVEXP per level Total DVEXP = 1740 Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, MegaGargomon, GranKuwagamon, Phoenixmon, MaloMyotismon --- Tier 5 --- Levels 01 - 60 = 10 DVEXP per level Levels 60 - 99 = 50 DVEXP per level Total DVEXP = 2540 Omnimon, Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, Diaboromon, Beelzemon

Imagine seeing a video made in 2021 about your favorite game which was released years ago. Thnx for this, I'm playing this again btw.

My main gripe with the whole "get X to level 99 to get Y evolution" is that, it's just....mindless grinding for a form that by the time you achieve it, you're so over levelled and over grinded, that everything in the game is basically a cakewalk. Sort of leading to those forms being just a trophy for you basically.

I always feel like the pokemon competition has always been too strong and digimon could have evolved into a really cool game franchise if people gave it an opportunity

I never knew this even though I was an ultra hardcore grinder in this game. By the time I beat this game my Agumon had Imperialdramon PM DV Level 99, and his own level was like 94 or something. That was after countless hours of Blue Numemon grinds at the Jungle Shrine.

This is still my favorite Digimon game.

I've been playing this game since l was in my early teens (now 34yo). I worked out back that dv forms lvl up seperate an much faster than their rookies. but never known how. thanks for this great video.

I never actually finished the game as a kid but i downloaded this game just yesterday and im trying to beat it. Thanks for the help man! I appreciate this. God bless you

Why... was such a high quality video made for this, this recently?.. Regardless, my mind is blown, as I just assumed my digivolutions required vastly less "standard" EXP than my rookies. DW3 best digimon game, hands down.

The quality of this video is amazing. I ve seen videos like this for other games, but never for DigimonWorld 3, im glad you did it.

I didn't know about the numeric values of the dvexp points from monsters because I assumed the higher your rookie's level is the more higher level enemies you need to fight to level up the evolutions, but i know some sort of point system carries over if there's an overflow. Nice to still keep learning after so long. Thanks for the video.

I loved this game as a kid, so many good memories! Thanks for keeping it alive

I spent countless hours on this game and never knew that the EXP worked like this. I thought what my rookies got their digivolutions got the same

Digimon World 3s leveling, and training system is a really cool system, I like it because it's much less RPS unlike most RPGs. Still need to finish it, and get Beelzemon with my Renamon.

QUALITY CONTENT! I AM COMPELLED TO "LIKE"!!!

bro! you killed this video! more Digimon content plz

Love this game and your breakdown, well done sir. Digimon are cool 😎

I cannot believe the amount of patience I had to play this game back in the day. It is one of the most tedious videos games in history, IMO. Even now, when I play DMW3, it has to be in an emulator playing at x2 speed and a whole lot of cheats enabled just to make playing it bearable.

Thanks for sharing. I never played Digimon World 3 but it's one of those games that I know for sure I'll try to beat in my life.

I knew there was some sort of mechanic like this back when I played DMW3 on the Emulator and using cheat engine to find out how it works. I found out that keeping your levels artificially low (through changing the value), makes it easier to level up your digivolutions with weaker digimons. I also found out that the soft/hard cap for your stats is 999 but you can make it 1004 through that digimon exclusive armors that give bonus stats. The absolute limit is 32767 which means the stat is stored as a signed 2 byte value. Going over that will make it overflow and you start at the most negative value. Having the STR stat at 32k is enough for you to one hit most digimons but doing too much damage can cause a bug where the digimon doesn't actually die. I've done that legitimately with my Kyukimon using it's Wind elemental Finisher on Kunemon. Actually quite a lot of digimons are weak to wind type, managed to breeze through the middle section of the game with my Kotemon's Ultimate form Kyukimon's finisher. You still can't damage those Knightmons in Amaterasu City Gates even with those stat hacks. What some players might not know is that the Attack command does damage based on your STR stat AND your Digivolution stage. A Rookie with 999 STR does significantly less damage than any Champion level digimon and so on. Highest is Mega but there are some that are a tier higher than that. They are known as Ultras now. And for some reason, Kabuterimon is considered an Ultimate level digimon.

From reddit. great job! subbed

I really don't comment often and I gotta say great video. Awesome even. DW3 is probably my all time favourite and I didn't know any of this. So thanks for that. Please, please more DW3 content!

One of my all time favorite games, love seeing videos about it.

05:25 the formula can be approximated with: 0.5287x3+5.3362x2−7.7380x−0.6333

The only digimon i know that always give 10 dgexp is black scprpiomon in lake of ice fishing in AM north sector. Thanx for the explaination. I don't know the formula before but i knew the requirement keep increased.

This game deserve more attention the mechanics in the game more deeper than you think this why I'm attached to this game more than first two digimon games also the story way better

Awesome video!!! I played this game when I was a kid and just kept fighting lol but I got the game again so thanks for explaining how everything work 😁

Wow! This is super interesting!

DW3 was the grinder's wet dream. 8 digimon with like 100 digivolutions that can each be leveled up 99.

this video help me out greatly thank you

Thank you for the detailed video. DMW3 is one of my all time favorites. I always thought that each digivolution digimon had its own lvling breakpoints. Never thought that there was a hidden exp mechanic for them. One thing im confused about thou is that if i remember correctly, digivolutions lvling from 90-99 or 95-99 was much slower than previous lvls. How does DVEXP explain that?

thank you for this video.

It's sad that the older Digimon games were so highly inconsistent between one another, which I think is what causes the lack of information out there. Now, if only Bandai remastered or remade DW3, then maybe we could see a thorough breakdown of its mechanics, but I don't see that happening anytime... at all. They have other Digimon games to worry about, ones that copy Pokémon more closely. It would be lovely to see DW1 and 3 on Steam, but alas.

Wait, what?! I had no idea... I just thought the exp was the same and the requirement was cheaper for evolutivos. I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME FOR 20 YEARS NOW AND HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS A THING! Unbelievable...

Man, this game is so grindy, it takes AGES to level up. Also the EXP we get is very low, even on end game. It takes for ever. Of course I still love it. I wish they made a remake of this gem, revamping the whole exp scaling and stuff.

It was a pain in the a** to get Omnimon and Imperialdramon PM, the Grind was real but totaly worth it.

You made me remember the endless grind for imperialdramon paladim

MORE CONTENT LIKE THIS!!! PLEASE

when digimon world got a reboot i was hoping they would continue the trend and reboot dw2 and 3 as well. i didnt understand 2's digivolution system but liked it anyways with the 3v3 battles. and 3 is my all time favorite. this whole time i just searched for which digimon gave me the most exp thinking it was the same for dvexp

Would love to have an evolution guide for Digimon W3 never could figure it out thankyou

never finished the game because of this :(

Ah sht, i started to replay dmw3 again after like 15 years, i think i left it when i was planning to collect all legendary weapons Ah goddamn what do i do, maybe i should start again but ive been distracted to continue lately ive been postponing for a year already i think and still not finished it lol

Ah those are the memories. trying to get blackwargreymon. I had a mandatory fight outside of the city hub. some legendary tamer wanted to fight me. I had skullgreymon at the time. I thought I was gonna get Blackwargreymon after getting my limit break maxed. but turned into another skullgreymon with fresh bones. I later learned that my digivolve slots being full was the reason I couldn't wreak that tamer. I was unable to get to the lab until i beat that tamer.

Well, pokemon it's always the same. more or less. Digimon changes so much lol If I ever decide on another playthrough I will surely go grind dolphmons =)

Man I really wish to totally forget about this game and re-experience it again from ground, but I've played it so many astronomical times in almost 20 years that I will need at least three ECT to erase it

I am really surprised that as a Kid I understood the leveling system of this game. I remember getting stuck on multiple kids game's but somehow I managed to understand a complicated leveling system with ease... I'm a case to be studied

@5:12 I legit tried man. I was trying to replicate level 09 and level 10 experience outcome. This is what I came up with but it still does not fully work out but I think I made some head way on it. Here is my work. Hope someone smarter then me can figure it out. PS. I am just a high school band teacher... So My calculations could be wrong.... please don't come at me. To determine the formula for the experience required to achieve each level. First analyze the differences between consecutive levels to see if there is a discernible pattern. Calculate the difference in experience between consecutive levels: Level 02 - Level 01: 11−0=1111 - 0 = 1111−0=11 Level 03 - Level 02: 33−11=2233 - 11 = 2233−11=22 Level 04 - Level 03: 71−33=3871 - 33 = 3871−33=38 Level 05 - Level 04: 180−71=109180 - 71 = 109180−71=109 Level 06 - Level 05: 267−180=87267 - 180 = 87267−180=87 Level 07 - Level 06: 385−267=118385 - 267 = 118385−267=118 Level 08 - Level 07: 542−385=157542 - 385 = 157542−385=157 So, the differences are: 11, 22, 38, 109, 87, 118, 157 Now, let's look at the second differences (the difference of the differences): 22 - 11 = 11 38 - 22 = 16 109 - 38 = 71 87 - 109 = -22 118 - 87 = 31 157 - 118 = 39 So, the second differences are: 11, 16, 71, -22, 31, 39 Looking at these second differences, it does not immediately suggest a simple quadratic or polynomial pattern. We need to try a more complex approach. Let's assume the experience formula is some polynomial function of level LLL. We have: f(1)=0f(1) = 0f(1)=0 f(2)=11f(2) = 11f(2)=11 f(3)=33f(3) = 33f(3)=33 f(4)=71f(4) = 71f(4)=71 f(5)=180f(5) = 180f(5)=180 f(6)=267f(6) = 267f(6)=267 f(7)=385f(7) = 385f(7)=385 f(8)=542f(8) = 542f(8)=542 One way to determine the pattern is to fit a polynomial to these points. However, it seems too complex for a polynomial fitting by inspection. Let's see if there is an alternative approach. An exponential or logarithmic fit might be another angle. Given the initial differences, we suspect the polynomial might have higher degrees. Let's try solving this with an approach where the experience is a polynomial expression of level nnn. We'll try fitting a cubic polynomial ax3+bx2+cx+dax^3 + bx^2 + cx + dax3+bx2+cx+d: Using the points: f(1)=a(1)3+b(1)2+c(1)+d=0f(1) = a(1)^3 + b(1)^2 + c(1) + d = 0f(1)=a(1)3+b(1)2+c(1)+d=0 f(2)=a(2)3+b(2)2+c(2)+d=11f(2) = a(2)^3 + b(2)^2 + c(2) + d = 11f(2)=a(2)3+b(2)2+c(2)+d=11 f(3)=a(3)3+b(3)2+c(3)+d=33f(3) = a(3)^3 + b(3)^2 + c(3) + d = 33f(3)=a(3)3+b(3)2+c(3)+d=33 f(4)=a(4)3+b(4)2+c(4)+d=71f(4) = a(4)^3 + b(4)^2 + c(4) + d = 71f(4)=a(4)3+b(4)2+c(4)+d=71 This gives us four equations: a+b+c+d=0a + b + c + d = 0a+b+c+d=0 8a+4b+2c+d=118a + 4b + 2c + d = 118a+4b+2c+d=11 27a+9b+3c+d=3327a + 9b + 3c + d = 3327a+9b+3c+d=33 64a+16b+4c+d=7164a + 16b + 4c + d = 7164a+16b+4c+d=71 Solving this system of equations will give us the coefficients a,b,c,a, b, c,a,b,c, and ddd. solve these equations to find the coefficients: Using a matrix method (Gaussian elimination) or substitution method: Step 1: Subtract the first equation from the others to eliminate ddd. (8a+4b+2c+d)−(a+b+c+d)=11−0(8a + 4b + 2c + d) - (a + b + c + d) = 11 - 0(8a+4b+2c+d)−(a+b+c+d)=11−0 7a+3b+c=117a + 3b + c = 117a+3b+c=11 (27a+9b+3c+d)−(a+b+c+d)=33−0(27a + 9b + 3c + d) - (a + b + c + d) = 33 - 0(27a+9b+3c+d)−(a+b+c+d)=33−0 26a+8b+2c=3326a + 8b + 2c = 3326a+8b+2c=33 (64a+16b+4c+d)−(a+b+c+d)=71−0(64a + 16b + 4c + d) - (a + b + c + d) = 71 - 0(64a+16b+4c+d)−(a+b+c+d)=71−0 63a+15b+3c=7163a + 15b + 3c = 7163a+15b+3c=71 Step 2: Simplify the remaining system: 7a+3b+c=117a + 3b + c = 117a+3b+c=11 26a+8b+2c=3326a + 8b + 2c = 3326a+8b+2c=33 63a+15b+3c=7163a + 15b + 3c = 7163a+15b+3c=71 Step 3: Use elimination on the simplified system: Subtract the first new equation from the second to eliminate ccc: (26a+8b+2c)−(7a+3b+c)=33−11(26a + 8b + 2c) - (7a + 3b + c) = 33 - 11(26a+8b+2c)−(7a+3b+c)=33−11 19a+5b+c=2219a + 5b + c = 2219a+5b+c=22 Then subtract the first new equation from the third: (63a+15b+3c)−(7a+3b+c)=71−11(63a + 15b + 3c) - (7a + 3b + c) = 71 - 11(63a+15b+3c)−(7a+3b+c)=71−11 56a+12b+2c=6056a + 12b + 2c = 6056a+12b+2c=60 Continue solving for a,b,c,da, b, c, da,b,c,d until the coefficients are found. Once you have the coefficients, you can plug them back into the polynomial expression to verify the experience needed for levels 9 and 10. This is a somewhat complex process, so I'll calculate this for you using Python for precision. The coefficients for the cubic polynomial f(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+df(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + df(x)=ax3+bx2+cx+d are: a=−0.10353535a = -0.10353535a=−0.10353535 b=13.51082251b = 13.51082251b=13.51082251 c=−37.26659452c = -37.26659452c=−37.26659452 d=26.07142857d = 26.07142857d=26.07142857 So, the polynomial function for the experience points is: f(x)=−0.10353535x3+13.51082251x2−37.26659452x+26.07142857f(x) = -0.10353535x^3 + 13.51082251x^2 - 37.26659452x + 26.07142857f(x)=−0.10353535x3+13.51082251x2−37.26659452x+26.07142857 Now, let's use this polynomial to calculate the experience needed for levels 9 and 10. For Level 9: f(9)=−0.10353535(9)3+13.51082251(9)2−37.26659452(9)+26.07142857f(9) = -0.10353535(9)^3 + 13.51082251(9)^2 - 37.26659452(9) + 26.07142857f(9)=−0.10353535(9)3+13.51082251(9)2−37.26659452(9)+26.07142857 For Level 10: f(10)=−0.10353535(10)3+13.51082251(10)2−37.26659452(10)+26.07142857f(10) = -0.10353535(10)^3 + 13.51082251(10)^2 - 37.26659452(10) + 26.07142857f(10)=−0.10353535(10)3+13.51082251(10)2−37.26659452(10)+26.07142857 The experience needed for the next levels is: Level 09: Approximately 710 experience points Level 10: Approximately 901 experience points These values are derived from the polynomial function: f(x)=−0.10353535x3+13.51082251x2−37.26659452x+26.07142857f(x) = -0.10353535x^3 + 13.51082251x^2 - 37.26659452x + 26.07142857f(x)=−0.10353535x3+13.51082251x2−37.26659452x+26.07142857

Earned yaself a sub.

I love it

I wish I knew this as a middle schooler lol amazing

I need a DW3 remake so bad

I only wish they remake this game and go all in for the pvp mode. I know for a fact i would play and many others too.

Hello! can I ask a stupid question, do I need to evolve to Angemon to get exp points for Angemon itself or I can just use Patamon and get Exp Points for Angemon as well?

Can this game please come to the ps plus overhaul. Man I love world 3.

sorry if this is a dumb question, but do I need to digivolve in order to earn DVEXP or will I still gain it from battling in rookie form?

We must have a remake of this in ps4.

Es irónico que en la música de fondo salga una melodía de Pokemon Stadium 2 en un video de Digimon 🤣🤣

Is it possible to complete the evolution tree of any digimon in this game? I tried so many times but part of the tree keeps reseting when other evolutions appears. This as a kid with more than 400 hours playing haha.

Aw man and here I thought DMW1 was the complicated one

wait so how 'do' you level up specific stats? I remember running into that problem when I wanted BlackWarGreymon, and I 'did' eventually get him but I don't remember how I did it, lol. Was there an element-specific Leomon training center?

try this out! for 10 DV exp per fight with the lowest exp gained, the enemy digimon has to give X5 exp of your rookie digimon. For example, if your agumon is lvl 46, you have to find an enemy digimon worth around 230exp for 10 DV exp. Minus 2 exp can be applied only if your digimon's level is even-numbered. For example, if your Agumon is lvl 20, you can look for Dolphmon, which gives 98exp (-2 exp rule), and still give 10DV exp. Sometimes, there is no suitable enemy on a specific level that does not give the ideal exp. Therefore in this instance, try to beat wild digimon that give slightly higher exp. Exceptions to this rule: Numemon (other than green-colored), Kokatorimon, Kurisarimon (red), enemy trainer digimon, and Scorpiomon (black) - always gives 10 DV exp.

Will you be covering Digimon World 4 at some point ? like the other games its very different and tries something new and I actually really enjoyed the game but always found Digivolving hard to get to especially mega Digimon

I wish the make new version for digimon more high quality

Is there any emulator to play this game?

I see that you own the player's guide for this game. I wanted to ask because I own it too isn't it just wrong on how to get Veemon. I remember trying to get one multiple times using the guide but never succeeding. The only time I did succeed is when I used a online guide instead. I think the reason it was wrong is because it gave the wrong location of the researcher and maybe even the Digimon that you had to go find.

I done fucked up I have been avoiding using champion because I thought my rookies wouldn't get any exp I have been power grinding rookie without Leveling champion oddly enough I have beaten the first two digimon bosses already

DW3 was the best from the ps1 era but not good. Nowadays DW next order on the PS4 or the cyber sleuth series is dope🔥🔥🔥

I leveled my Renamon against Kunemons and Tapirmons so I could unlock as many evolutions I could before doing anything else in the game, but without going over level 29 so I can still get Veemon later, and what do you know? unlocking all of Renamon's available early evolutions results in me reaching level 29 with Rosemon and Gallantmon unlocked on her in 40 hours of grinding... then I played through the game with minimal battles so she wouldn't level up, making everything in the game feel like a pushover compared to my mega level Digimon~ and I managed to pick up the Veemon quest right before leveling up, but hitting level 30 after battling Paildramon (luckily you can still get Veemon if you've already picked up the quest) , so that was fun~ cool stuff! ^-^

So from these deductions, I assume that any Digivolution not taking part in a fight do not gain experience, and therefore there is no reason to use a rookie digimon after gaining a digivolution? Was hoping there was a better way of training evolutions in bulk rather than swapping them all.

I still hate the fact that rookies with 5.0 rating growth rate on a certain stat, has a chance of getting 0 per level starting from lvl5 until 99 and a chance of getting just 1 from lvls 2-4 while 4.0 rating has better stat gain range and impossible to get 0 from 1-99. It's absurd how my Patamon ended up having almost equal attack to my kumamon both without gear and untrained at lvl 31. Kumamon has 5.0 growth rate on attack and Patamon has 1.0. Both are untrained because this was a digitamamon only run so I ignored the STR entirely. This is why I started to hate Kumamon. Bro needs the most amount of exp to lvl up so TPs come slow too for when I get shit on by RNG on stats gain on my other playthroughs. At least other digimons that have 5.0 growth rate on some stats, like Monmon, Veemon and Renamon are easier to raise even if they got extremely unlucky. Hypothetically, if for example, Renamon who has 61 base Spirit, got cursed by the RNG god to have minimum gains at all levels, her spirit at lvl 99 will only be 64 without training.

I remember the 5 art epic. I THINK ooooh F*/*-/*-/*-/k!!!!!

Do you have any link to download psx emulator for PC and DW3 ISO file? I tried to find it, but didnt... :/

I still don’t get it

you forgot that you need more dv points on higher lvls, 95 to 99 on champion, 90 to 99 on next stage, etc

You get that literal turd in Digimon world 1 if your Rookie Digimon doesn't evolve into anything for like 90+ in game hours. And its not even that bad because he's the only one that can enter the bear Suit in toy town and become monzaemon

THANK YOU FOR AMAZINGLY CLEAR CONTENT AND VOICE. SEXY ❤
