Strip to nothing if it does not contribute to Expertise gain to save your dura and macca.
* Un-equip all your equipment if it does not contribute to Expertise gain. The durability of your items (if equipped) will reduce over time.
*Go to [[Virtual Battle]]'s [[Gaki]]s room, and keep guarding their attacks after punching one of them.
* Provoke a Preta in [[Virtual Battle]] and lure it to a corner and use Guard continuously.
**Bring a healing demon and set it to only use Curative Spell so it won't interfere with the demon in question.
** Luring to a corner is optional, but you won't interfere with someone else and less chance if someone mistakenly targets your Preta.
** Bring along some HP and MP recovery items.
