If your CaC is stuck below Level 99, you are almost certainly short on TP Medals — the premium currency Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 gates the top of the level curve and its best Super Souls behind. This guide covers the fastest TP Medal farms in 2026, how many you need, and where to spend them, so you stop grinding blind. It is written for PS4 and PS5 players, but the methods work everywhere the game runs.
What TP Medals Are and Why You Need Them
TP Medals (Time Patroller Medals) are a slow-drip currency separate from Zeni. You earn a handful per Expert Mission and a trickle from daily activities, and the game leans on them for two things that matter: pushing your character from Level 80 to the 99 cap, and buying the strongest Super Souls and skills from the TP Medal Shop. Because they come in so slowly by default, they are the single biggest bottleneck between a fresh CaC and a finished one.
The exact number to remember is 840 TP Medals — that is the total Tosok charges to take one character from 80 to 99. Multiply that across multiple CaCs and the grind balloons fast, which is why efficient farming matters so much. Once you understand where TP Medals actually come from, the climb stops feeling random and becomes a route you can repeat. For the full leveling picture, pair this with our level up fast guide.
The Fastest TP Medal Farm: Expert Missions 16 and 17
The reliable workhorse farm is Expert Mission 16 (SSGSS Vegeta) and Expert Mission 17 (SSGSS Goku). Each one pays out around sixteen TP Medals and, with a tuned CaC, clears in roughly three to five minutes. Running these back to back is how most players bank the hundreds of medals they need, and because the fights are short and predictable you can farm them half on autopilot once you learn the patterns.
Expert Mission 18 against Supervillain Broly pays a little more — around eighteen medals — but it takes longer and his temporary Super Armor can drag the clear out. It is worth running when you also need Demon Realm Crystals, otherwise stick to 16 and 17 for pure medal-per-minute efficiency. A build with strong ki damage and a knockback option like Photon Swipe makes these runs much smoother, which is exactly what our best CaC build guide sets up.
The Shenron "I Want Medals!" Wish
Once you have unlocked the relevant Guru's House progression, Shenron offers the "I want medals!" wish, which grants 200 TP Medals per cycle. That is a massive lump compared to grinding Expert Missions, so it is the single best source once it is available. The catch is you need to gather the seven Dragon Balls to summon Shenron each time.
The efficient loop is to farm Dragon Balls in Parallel Quests 44 and 45, summon Shenron, take the medal wish, and repeat. Combined with Expert Mission farming between summons, this is how dedicated players stack enough medals to level several CaCs without it feeling like a second job. If you would rather skip the Dragon Ball hunt entirely, the modded save route is covered in our modded save guide.
| Method | Payout | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Expert Mission 16 / 17 | ~16 each, 3–5 min | Best steady farm |
| Expert Mission 18 (Broly) | ~18, slower | Also drops Demon Realm Crystals |
| Shenron "I want medals!" | 200 per summon | Needs 7 Dragon Balls each time |
| Daily / login activities | Small trickle | Passive, do not rely on it |
Leveling 80 to 99 with Tosok
You do not level the last stretch by fighting — you buy it. Talk to Tosok, the NPC beside the Time Machine station in Conton City. He takes Zeni to carry you up to Level 80, then switches to TP Medals for 80 through 99. Budget that 840-medal total before you start so you are not left one Expert Mission short of the cap.
This is why TP Medals and leveling are really the same problem: the cap is a currency wall, not a skill wall. Farm your medals first, then spend them at Tosok in one sitting so you feel the jump. For the full step-by-step on the climb and the optional push past 99, see our how to level up fast guide.
What to Spend TP Medals On in the Shop
Beyond leveling, the TP Medal Shop sells some of the best Super Souls in the game. Picks like "Now then, it's time to dole out some vengeance…" and strong ki-blast Super Souls are shop staples that shape competitive and PvE CaCs alike. Prioritise the Super Souls that match your build before you splurge on cosmetic or situational items.
The trap is spending medals on leveling AND the shop at the same time and ending up short on both. Decide your priority — usually hit 99 first so your character is actually usable, then circle back for Super Souls. Our best CaC build and Super Souls guide lists which ones are worth the medals.
Common TP Medal Mistakes to Avoid
The biggest time-waster is farming Parallel Quests for medals — PQs pay almost nothing in TP Medals, so stick to Expert Missions. The second is ignoring the Shenron wish because the Dragon Ball hunt feels tedious; 200 medals a summon dwarfs anything else, so it is worth the detour. The third is under-gearing your farming CaC, which turns a three-minute Expert Mission into a ten-minute slog.
Fix those three and your medals-per-hour climbs dramatically. A tuned ki-damage CaC with a reliable Super Soul clears EM16/17 fast, banks medals, and funds both your leveling and your shop list. Everything compounds once the farm is efficient — which is the whole point of doing it right instead of grinding blind.
Farming TP Medals Across All 8 CaCs
The grind that breaks most players is not one character — it is the realisation that every CaC slot needs its own 840 TP Medals to reach 99. Eight characters means 6,720 TP Medals just for leveling, before you spend a single medal in the shop. That is where the "I'll max all my characters" plan quietly dies for most people, because the farm simply does not end.
The sane approach is to pick the one or two CaCs you actually play, take them to 99 and gear them properly, and leave the other slots for whenever you feel like it. Trying to farm all eight to the cap back to back is the fastest route to burnout. If you genuinely want every slot maxed for collection or to test every race and build, that is a mountain of repeated Expert Mission runs and Shenron wishes — exactly the wall the modded save removes by delivering all eight at once.
What to Do With TP Medals After Level 99
Once a character is capped, TP Medals stop going to Tosok and become pure shopping money for the TP Medal Shop. That is when you circle back for the best Super Souls you skipped while prioritising levels, plus any skills or items the shop gates behind medals. A capped CaC with the shop's top Super Soul is noticeably stronger than one running a placeholder, so the medal farm still matters after 99.
This is also the point where you decide whether to start a second character or keep investing in your main. If you only play one or two CaCs, dumping post-cap medals into Super Souls and skills finishes them properly. If you want a full roster, those medals are better spent leveling the next slot. Either way, TP Medals never truly stop being useful — they just shift from leveling currency to gear currency once you hit the cap.
Skip the TP Medal Grind Entirely
If farming 840 medals per character across all eight CaCs sounds like weeks you do not have, our Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 modded save hands you all 8 CaCs at Level 199 with 99,999,999 Zeni and infinite items already on the save — no Expert Mission loops, no Dragon Ball hunts. It applies directly to your PS4 or PS5 profile, so you load in finished.
It is the fastest possible end state for collectors and offline/History-Mode players who just want to play with maxed characters instead of grinding to make them. Learn the mechanics from this guide so you know what you are getting, then see exactly what the save includes and decide whether the grind or the shortcut fits you better.
