I can confirm this is the way to go about it, the best way is if you have a monster that leveled without the save edit, just copy the exp value and the level of that monster and that should fix the exp bug. Unless you know the exact exp value of that level it would bug out. Im not sure on this part but for 4 monsters, their exp bar and value is exactly the same, not sure if this is the same for elder dragon monsties
Example : Putting 900 exp for Lvl 30 would cause the xp bug.
Level 21 if the exp is 1344, setting a monster to level 21 and manually entering the xp value fixes it.
OP mentioned he isn't planning on buying the full game a page back so we would probably need to dump and translate some items so he can add it.
I completed the game. How can i dump my item list?
Have been experimenting on the item list OP provided. no Luck.
I need that Expedition Ticket haha
