If you are able to get the EB armor, then make sure you get to level 15 comfortably. After that you can choose to use your friends to help you thru the adventure levels; unless of course you want to chase after additional tier rewards.

Use one of your knights and one strong friend  in a level that you can get thru w/ this amt of help, then switch to Rggv's strategy when all friends used up. It's best if you can get into the 3* storyline levels to farm 3* mats (Sunken Carrack on up) so you can get mats for those sets (the Bigger Four, does not include Spectral Captain).

I used to do this twice w/ my five secondary knights so I could keep my main knight free to grind Snakeskins in the Tomb. You should be able to get thru Valor stage or lower in the Tomb w/ minimal damage so you can grind it several times w/ a single knight.

You could instead choose to use your friends to help advance thru the higher storyline levels as those levels pay higher XP dividends. It basically comes down to quantity (# of times you can clear a level w/ 1 knight and 1 friend) and quality (highest level you can successfully clear for higher XP yield, but fewer runs). Again, I generally chose quantity (more runs) at slightly lower levels to gain XP.

The biggest trick is to time your level-up while grinding a level as all of your knights get refreshed to help you complete the level and so you can go grind another when finished. I always used this opportunity to clear the highest level I was working on and unlock the next level. If ur good, you'll run down 3 of your secondary knights on ur first run and level-up on your second run using your main and two secondaries. Hopefully you can come out of that w/ 4 or 5 intact knights after level-up to keep grinding other levels.

Do this a few times and you can gain 2-3 levels a day for awhile. Good luck!!!
