Hitting level 99 with your spirits in Moonstone Island is a major milestone—and one that comes with more benefits than you might expect. Whether you’re chasing raw power, min-maxing stats, or just looking to crush dark spirits in one turn, this guide walks you through how to achieve max level, what to plant for maximum experience gain, and how to build your stats for combat efficiency.

Max Level Explained: Breaking the 99 Barrier

When your spirit reaches level 99, it hits what many would assume to be the ceiling—but things get interesting here. While level 99 is the cap, certain stats can be pushed beyond 99 through food buffs. For example, you can temporarily push your power stat over 99 using consumables. It’s unclear whether natural stat growth beyond 99 is possible without buffs, but with food boosts alone, your power potential is effectively unlimited during battle prep.

So, what happens when you hit max level? Beyond raw bragging rights, you’ll enjoy:

• Increased base stats
• Enhanced combat effectiveness
• Better survivability and burst damage potential
• A sense of invincibility when built right

Now let’s talk about how to actually get there.

Experience Farming: The Power of Psychic Crops

If you’re aiming to hit level 99, you’re going to need a massive amount of experience. The most efficient way to gain it? Crop farming—specifically Psychic Island crops.

Here are your seasonal experience champions:

Fall – Willow Wisps

• Each plant grants 250 EXP
• The most efficient crop in the game
• Recommended: 1,000 to 1,300 plants

Fall is hands down the best season for XP farming. You’ll spend all day harvesting these, so start collecting the moment you wake up to avoid missing your window and passing out.

Summer – Eye Berries

• A solid alternative, also found on Psychic Islands
• Less potent than Willow Wisps, but worth farming until fall rolls around

Winter – Gift Plants

• Grown only in the greenhouse
• Fertilizer can boost their XP yield
• The yield isn’t as massive due to space constraints, but it’s a good fallback if you’re fully caught up in progression

Spring – Skip It

• Unfortunately, there are no XP-producing crops in spring
• Consider using this time to prep other resources or hunt for Psychic Islands if you haven’t unlocked enough

If you’re not near a Psychic Island or can’t access its crops yet, consider planting Hot Air Fruit. It’s not as efficient, but it gives you some XP until you unlock better options.

Stat Recommendations: Optimizing Your Max-Level Spirits

Once your spirit is pushing into the top levels, stat allocation becomes essential depending on your combat role. Here’s a setup recommendation for an attacking spirit:

• Power – Max it. Dump as much as possible here for raw damage.
• Armor – Keep this at 20+, minimum. This allows you to reliably tank hits from dark spirits and avoid getting one-shot.
• Vitality – Optional. Can be helpful, especially when combined with food buffs to reach high HP (~130+).
• Speed – Not needed unless you’re crafting a speed-based setup.

With food buffs, your armor can even go over 30, which helps negate damage from most non-boss enemies. Only the giant boss spirits (marked with a skull icon) may break through that threshold. So 20+ armor offers a solid safety net while letting you focus on obliterating your foes in one hit.

Farming Cycle for Max Leveling

To simplify the process, here’s a daily loop for efficient XP farming:

1. Wake up and immediately begin harvesting your crops (Willow Wisps in fall, for example).
2. Harvest fast to avoid losing hours and missing crops.
3. If you’re in winter, manage your greenhouse for Gift Plants.
4. Use fertilizer when possible to boost returns.
5. Eat XP-boosting food for slight multipliers if available.
6. Repeat daily.

If you stay consistent, you’ll hit level 99 long before other methods even come close.

Final Thoughts: Build Smart, Play Hard

Level 99 might be the cap, but with food buffs, smart farming, and efficient stat distribution, your spirits can break through perceived limitations and dominate the battlefield. This method favors players who enjoy managing crops and planning stat builds strategically.

Max-level spirits like Evil Eye aren’t just powerhouses—they’re versatile tanks and damage dealers depending on how you build them. Just keep your farming cycles tight, access those Psychic Islands early, and lean into the seasonal XP crops.

And remember: 20+ armor, power to the moon, and a good buffet of food buffs will make your spirit practically unstoppable. Stay smart, plant big, and smash your way through Moonstone Island one maxed-out monster at a time.
