- There are so many things that need Experience Points in Splatoon 3: Your Gear, Personal Level, and Catalog Level. But what is the BEST way to level up fast in splatoon? To find out, I did a science and some fancy math. Happy leveling squiddos!

"Watch out gamers, I've committed a science" needs to be a famous quote for this channel. I love it.
It should
This is a petition now
It's really the best thing I've ever heard a researcher say!
@@Bill-ey here's my signature
Science! >:D
Fun fact: The juice is in plastic bags as its apparently a common way to serve soda in southeast asian countries like Thailand.
Sounds like I should take a trip to Thailand :)
I've use to see this in latin America too where the glass soda bottles are used more. It is so the buisness can keep the bottles and get a little extra sending them to back to the company. It also helps to keep the streets cleaner from glass.
can confirm have bought drink like that in korea
We do it in the Philippines as well.
Also south america
To anyone missing out, The catalog items can be ordered after the season ends. At least from what Murch says, hinting that it might be orderable.
I second this. His little dialogue blurb when you try to order catalog gear says something like "This is too popular right now," rather than the usual "This is too hot for me" he says for Amiibo, Grizzco, and Cuttle gear, so chances are the catalog gear will indeed be orderable.
@@freuner-merris Thanks for giving more info! 👍
Might have to have the App for it. Which I have to say, is actually really awesome to have if you have a phone.
can't order the dab emoji though :(
@@freuner-merris that's why he says that, I thought it was literally because people order that item too much
I played a ton during the splatfest and I unlocked a lot of my catalog levels this way. Definitely try to play as much as you’re able to during splatfests if you want to go through as many catalog levels you can.
Unrelated, but I see myself at 4:13 playing a mode that doesn’t give much catalog XP 👀
At least you get a lot of money and food/drink tickets
that was me to, I wanted to change things up.
too bad at game for splatfest :(
@@TheTrueXaver you still get 20% more points I believe even if you lose
My catalogue is about 76, and my goal has been at LEAST 10 levels a week. I'm currently far, far above that goal. If you can pull off ten catalogue levels a week, you're 100% going to reach lv100 with ease.
It does help that I'm very obsessed with the game, but still-
I'm halfway through my second one, don't worry about it after that, I'm only getting food and drink tickets now lmao
I do 3 levels a day and I'm at 66
Or win 1 rank match a day which is a free tier up lmao
@@ryouskye that won't take you to 100 though; so it's good to have the excess
If you want to get rid of the obsession then start losing matches. I lost 2 matches yesterday by under 10 points. Which helps me do something else 😂
The least stressful mode being the best for grinding levels..... A match made in heaven
😂😂😂
I hope Big Run can give you bonuses towards your catalog like Splatfest does. Salmon Run is my favorite mode but is very inefficient for the catalog.
Didn't even think about this, hope so too
It does!
The start of the day is at 8pm EDT/5pm PDT because they’re using the same time for EVERYONE, regardless of timezone this time: 12am UTC. UTC is the official time standard all modern time zones are calculated from, and nearly matches (within a second) the mean solar time at the Prime Meridian. Thus it is basically rolling over at the “world’s” midnight. For anyone in the Eastern Hemisphere, the rollover happens sometime in the AM, the closer to the Atlantic the earlier, and for anyone on the Western hemisphere it happens in the PM, closer to the atlantic, the Later. In Britain it’s pretty close to perfectly at midnight, on the pacific islands it’s pretty close to noon.
I think it is worth noting that because anarchy gives you more exp per game, if you're farming for something other than catalogue levels with food or drinks, it may be more efficient to do anarchy to max out the effectiveness of your buffs.
Unless you’re inconsistent. Turf War is better if you can’t win Anarchy
Worth noting that I believe the catalog gear will be orderable after this "season", the dialogue for trying to order some from Murch right now is different and he claims he'd get laughed at just for asking
Btw, if you do lose by a KO in the first like, minute of an anarchy battle, you do still get the 100 points for a minute because it would not give you 0 exp in general (source, I'm bad at the game).
The day reset at 8pm EST, that is 12am UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), so it makes a little bit more sense that way :)
I like knowing that turf war is good for THE GRIND since I'm not all that great at objective based modes. Especially when I really only enjoy 1 or 2 of them.
I like just loading up into the greasiness that is Turf War and losing for an hour. So its good to know its the 'better' option for getting rewards.
Very helpful and to the point. The voice-over also felt really confident and high quality this time. Nice job!
Thank you very much for making this guide. This should help me grind faster.!
I try to manage at least 2 catalog levels a day, ending the day at level 58 as of typing this. It’s an easy goal to keep thanks to the incentive of the first victory bonus combined with refreshing salmon run rewards, and it provides a decent buffer in case you fall behind a bit either from irl stuff or just wanting to do something else one day.
I would LOVE to see a strategy guide on the beat ways to take out the specific salmon run waves. I myself have trouble with cohozuna alot
Or Boss Salmonid shortcuts...?
@@cubechan1938 i think there are only 2 salmonid bosses that there are shortcuts for, just throw a bomb for maws and shoot the rain thingy back for drizzlers :')
@@yuffy3831 You mean the practically intended way to deal with them? So you can't take out boss salmonids with the Slammin Lid? You can't even use the Explosher on the Flyfish? If those aren't shortcuts I don't know what is
The basic strategy for Cohozuna is if you are a fast DPS weapon always shoot Cohozuna. If you are a slower weapon that's good at killing bosses, get golden eggs and save one from each boss to kill another boss (But only ones near Cohozuna and long-range bosses), but still ALWAYS SHOOT COHOZUNA WHEN YOU CAN
@@cubechan1938 Yea, I totally forgot about the slammin lid thing x)
I don't play that much salmon run, so you don't need to take my little comments here too seriously 🐥
One thing I’m sad you didn’t mention is that xp is the same system as your “freshness” level for weapons, so if you want to grind out the stars on your weapons turf war is also the best option.
Ranked has been better in my experience as I 3 star weapons in 1 or 2 series, turf has been neglecting me with weapon freshness
I've been going at a pace of 2-3 catalog levels a day, and I'm currently at 63, so I'll definitely hit 100 before it ends.
Me at level 78 currently with 3 days left in the season....Im planning all nighters bro. Thank you for this guide
I been playing a lot of rank and Salmon Run… Also participated in Splatfest becoming Ruler at the least
And I been playing since release so I participate in a Splatfest
Personal level 26
My Rank is A+
Catalog is 88
I been playing the game solo but occasionally stream and playing with friends too.
I personally take Rank because it allows me to gain tons of exp.
Even when I go solo I get the occasional assist from other player to get coin or level boost.
But I won’t have the ticket without Salmon Run and chunks for myself. So play to get a few tickets and play with gacha machine.
Even when I loss it motivate me to do better.
But I guess I’ll play turf before it’s over
I have around the same stats! Yay
I’m Level 32
Rank S
Catalog level 8
And got ruler +4 in the splatfest
@@honukane242 Level: 45
Catalog Level: 195 (maxed at 100+ reset)
Rank: S
Splatfest: Gesr Ruler +7
just bought the game 2 days ago and trying to grind to level 100, thanks for the guide! i’ll let you know how far i make it lol
In Ranked, if you get KO'ed, you officially lose 100-0, so you don't get the EXP for progress.
Also, the in-game day reset time is midnight UTC.
Me: man, grinding experience from anarchy is rough
Vasko: *boy do I have news for you*
Woah! Thanks a lot for making this video! Everything's really well explained, and I'm pretty sure this gonna be helpful to a lot of people like me. Booyah!
A random user: How many videos did you watch before you realised Vasko Game’s profile picture is an Inkling?
Me: *Yes.*
POV: your here 5 days before the season ends trying to figure out how to get 70 catalog levels
Ty king for this video
Thanks for the video, it is very high quality and super helpful. You should do a video on the best way to farm ability chunks
In Mexico we don’t have custom bottle manufacturing except for the big companies so the small businesses use soft plastic pouches to store orange juice, coconut water ,water you name it. That’s what those juice pouches are in splatoon 3.
Thank you Vasko! This was super helpful!
Thanks for doing the research, wasnt sure if turf war or anarchy was faster for catalogue grinding. Time to go back into turf war
This is such a great video. Thank you for all the helpful information!
This is just the info I needed and no more. Perfect.
Thank you so much. This really helped! I just got Splatoon 3 recently. And got acads to do. So now I know I should be doing turf war more than anarchy (Since I'm already S+ anyway) for catalog.
This is an ambitious video idea: this new game has got my trying new weapons, so I was wondering maybe a vid thinking about what kind of approaches you can use when trying new weapons, or about what kind of weapons should be used for certain stage/game mode combinations
thank you sm for doing the math on this one!! because i def thought anarchy was best for exp before this
You didn't mention you get a bonus for wearing the same outfit as your teammates during splatfests! It's called a synergy bonus
I should be getting the game today and there’s only 10 days left for this season so according to your stats, if I play 4-5 hours everyday I can get those triple-decker shades.
Very informative video, thanks for making it
I’ll say this much, if you get good enough on a certain game mode in anarchy (plus find yourself on a cracked team), I find you can gain 4-5 catalog levels in under two hours.
I recommend you try to do around 5 anarchy matches a day, and if you lose more often than you win, then just switch to turf war. Otherwise, you can get an insane win streak going.
I've noticed that gear can get to a max of star level 5 but it's really expensive to do so. A video about this would be cool
ua-cam.com/video/yA6qERmYNE0/v-deo.html this one?
Thanks for the vid Vasko ❤ It's very helpful 😊
I subscribed!! This was very very helpful! Thank you so much!
I'd expect all catalogs will last what I think of as Month Seasons, so September-November, December-February, March-May, June-August, it just makes sense to me as that's what I'm used to considering seasons anyway
Roughly means 90 days a season
Thanks for doing the maths though!
Really cool video! Now wondering, what is the best way to farm ability chunks? Sure you can start your day with salmon run as if you were farming money, but after the last superbonus it doesn't gives you lots of chunks per match, which makes me wonder if it's better to level up the gear by online games or using catalog/story mode to try and get these randomly.
So happy I watched this, thank you so much. LET'S GRIND!
I hope you get to 100k soon cause you deserve it
Now we need a video on ability chunks!
I've found grinding out two catalog levels a day to be incredibly simple, at this rate I'll have the whole thing completed in a little over two weeks
When I saw the Drizzle season was about to end and I was level 89, I HAD TO CATCH UP ASAP
Really well made guide :D
In a perfect world, Rainmaker KOs within the first minute would be the most ideal way to farm xp. But we dont live in a perfect world sadly
VASKO THANK YOU you are literaly a life saver cause i feel you i want my dang anaki drip
Thank you for such a perfect guide!! It's sad to hear that Salmon Run is the least optimal way to go. Unfortunately, that's my favorite mode
I'm on my third catalog, but only recently started playing Turf War regularly, and I'm already almost halfway through said catalog. At this rate I might actually see a 4th catalog and can only wonder what might have been. Would probably be further along, but also trying to farm scales in Salmon Run. Want a Goldie for my locker ASAP.
For everyone who doesn't wanna watch the whole video, it's turf war
i think its also good to consider that you can get a largely increased winrate in anarchy open and probably some knockouts sprinkled in with a group of coordinated friends making it a lot faster than turf war.
just something to consider
Personally I am level 46
Got to Ruler +12 during the splatfest
Played quite a lot of anarchy battles (open and series, im S+ but i think thats irrelevant)
And as of right now I am on the third catalog (anything beyond the first is just more mystery boxes)
Same here. If you can coordinate with a good group of 4 you can easily get a good winrate in open. Additionally, the video counts ranked as 5 minutes per game but if you win by knockout it's much faster generally. I was grinding earlier and with knockouts got 10 games in 30 minutes. I'm level 48 on the second catalogue.
Yeah I knockout grind on tower control and it's so fast. Plus has the benefit of not making me super frustrated like turf does.
Turf is definitely more reliable but the high risk high reward of Anarchy keeps me there instead
@@SPZ-gv2on Glad to see someone else discussing this. I've made a few points about it, but the video doesn't address the KO mechanic at all and assumes anarchy matches will always go 5 full minutes. This is blatantly untrue, because the KO mechanic ends decisive games faster, so when one team significantly outpreforms the other, it'll end FASTER than turf war, where in that gamemode a skill imbalance ends in a spawncamp ticking the timer down instead of a fast KO that lets both teams move on to a closer game. You don't need a 90% winrate for anarchy battles to be resource efficent, this video is just turf war propaganda lol
@@misomie anarchy is designed to make more closer matches, and thats why the KO mechanic is there to end decisive games quickly. its a better gamemode by far, especially from an enjoyment perspective
fun squid fact, with the most optimal exp in turf war(win, >=500p, 2x exp, no wait times or dcs) it will take ~3000 hours of turf to get to the max level!
I mained the retro specs just like you did in splatoon 2, and I was so pissed they aren’t in splatoon 3! Luckily I’m only about 6 levels from getting the retro framers.
Big Run also causes a 20% boost, similarly to Splatfest
Great Video! Glad I could help out :)
Thanks again!
YESS THANK YOU FOR THIS!!
thank you, very informative video
I got through somewhere around half of my catalog in this week alone.
I have gotten the dab already and I’m now working on tableturf in my free time whenever I need a break from online play.
Just got splatoon 3 today this will help thanks man :)
i love that you do pieces-to-camera in a video game
Heck yeah! I was hoping that turf war is the best way to level up catalog!
A Sheldon ticket guide would be nice
Thanks! i would want to see a video of a tutorial about cohozuna or big run
I needed this :D
If you're having a bad time in turf or anarchy, doing salmon run can still get you the daily 7500. I ended up having to do that after a losing streak in anarchy
The results are not so shockingly similar to the money video, despite all the extra factors and different formulas. Good work, Vasko 👍
Idk it feels like anarchy is the way to go. I was playing a ton of turf and was getting nowhere on my catalog. Swapped to anarchy and I ran through it quick. You don't need to play a full 5 minutes of anarchy game modes since you can ko before that time. Turf you're stuck in a 3 minute game regardless.
I once completed two catalog levels after one match.
I did this by winning an anarchy battle which gives me 2500 points. It was also my first win of the day so I received 7500 more points which is 10000 points in total and since you need only 9500 points tot level up your catalog you can upgrade your catalog with only one match.
It once happend tot me that I needed less than 500 points to upgrade my catalog so I completed two levels of the catalog which was really satisfying to watch.
I think you can level up your catalog with table turf battle as well
This was very helpful since I was late to the Splatoon 3 party. I really want that dab emote.
I also wore the retro specs and I also have the 8-bit glasses so I feel you
THANK YOU SO MUCH I don't have a lot of time to play splatoon and I mostly play salmon run, you saved me
Seeing equations got me giddy (I love math) but this is so good to know. I already play Cookie Run Kingdom nightly so I might play some Splatoon matches before dipping into that. It is my GOAL to get the dab because I think it's funny
I wonder if the turf war/ranked time-to-complete would swap if you do consider loading and connecting. You connect to more matches doing turn war so you have more down time waiting.
This doesn't have to do with exp, but you can get a lot of ability chunks from gear in salmon run if you get enough points
I’m currently catalog level 153 as someone that’s been primarily playing Salmon, I’m currently level 16 in my actual level, so I haven’t been playing all that much of Turf or Anarchy, but I did play Splatfest till I reached Ruler +1 🤭
This helped so Much
Thank you 😊
4:35 "I have no idea what these are" they are sold by marigold, a Goldfish. They are meant to be like gold fish bags. Which in hindsight is messed up but like yeah.
I think your suggested 20% increased efficiency in turf war is likely a byproduct of a significant limitation with your calculations. You assume that an anarchy battle will last the full five minutes, but the KO mechanic means that games can end before then. Regardless, even if you DO factor in KOs taking less time than 5 minutes probalistically, there's another element at play. The feature of KO-ing means that if you're definitely going to LOSE a game, you'll probably get knocked out in under a minute. However, turf war *lacks* a KO mechanic, and therefore you'll need to spend an extra two minutes playing a turf war you are almost certainly going to lose, while an anarchy player has already lobbied back up and is in a new game that they probably have a better chance of winning now. To summarize, I think that KOs shorten your losses and therefore increases the efficiency with which you can move on to subsequent matches, which I believe would compensate for the supposed 20% increased EXP gain from playing turf war, as you did not specify accounting for this factor in your calculations and therefore it seems like an omission.
They also shorten the games you decisively win, letting you more quickly move on to a hopefully closer and therefore more exciting match, but of course the exp system doesn't really account for your own intrinsic enjoyment of a close fight.
I really wish the catalogue XP from Salmon Run was better, I very much prefer Salmon Run more often than playing PvP modes as I am not a super competitive person (for my own wellbeing.) For how long each run of Salmon Run is.. it just doesn’t feel great how little it gives.
Oh thank god someone made a great guide behind this. I want....I NEED, I CRAVE that dab emote!
I am in a rush! Thank you so much! Now I can get to level 100 in 2 days. (Which is the time I have now so here’s hoping I can actually do it)
godspeed
“At the very least you’ll make Mr. Grizz somewhat happy!”
Sigh...
I think either catalogue gear will be available in store later, or after the catalogue has been swapped you can start ordering those pieces from other players
You can buy the catalog clothing items in store. I once bought one of the clothes from the store before I unlocked it in the catalog, so when I finally got to it in the catalog I got money instead.
bro im on holiday for the entire weekend of july splatfest 😭
thank you so much!
That cat's face best describes my own when someone throws formulas my way.
Thank you ❤️
Do you know if the 360 exp/min is gained from turf wars being 3 minutes, or if they also counted the time before and after matches (which isn't time spent waiting and is fixed)?
I want to know so I can calculate the amount of time including time not spent playing per turf war match. Right now I'm just doing that using (3×360)/(3+x), where x is the average minutes not spent playing for each turf war match, but if the 360 figure includes the amount of time it takes for the intro and outro of turf wars, than that formula is going to look different.
For big run, the splatfest rewards are reversed where if you do normal battles, you dont gain the big run bonus points unless you actually do big run
what happens once you roll over to the next catalog? i got to level 100 and harmony said i should get a new catalog. is it just the same one again?
I am personally trying to do about 33 catalouge lvls a month. I got the game on release and in september i was able to get to around lvl 40, and now im like lvl 50. So if im able to get to at least lvl 70/80 in octoboer, then i should be able to finish the catalouge in november, espetially since i go out on vacation the day that the pokemon x splatoon splatfest starts and that will make finishing the catalouge much faster!
Babe wake up, new Vasko Games video
Splatfest is also great for grinding with drinks due to the obscenely cheap scrub costs.
