What's the minimum level needed for unranked weapons so that the bonus exp levels them to 30?

I've been looking for a much more efficient way to get mastery points in ranks, so I go to big EXP farming spots such as Cerberus, Pluto, and Kiste, Ceres.

But I can't seem to figure out what's the minimum level I need to get the weapons from Level 0 (unranked) so that when the mission ends and the bonus exp kicks in, I can get it to Level 30, sell it, then start levelling up a new weapon?

Does the minimum level change if I use an exp booster?

That is not easy to calculate. You get 50% bonus XP for all enemies killed by that weapon, but for team XP, you get no bonus. (Team XP is when your team kills an enemy, and you are in a certain range to that team member or enemy killed, of these I'm not sure).

So if you claim a weapon, equip it, but never use it (not even damaging the enemy), then you need all the 450.000 XP as that weapon will get only team XP and no bonus. However if you claim that weapon, and you kill enemies with that weapon only, and you are doing Solo mission to ensure to get no Team XP, then you need 450.000 / 1.5 XP (=300.000) which is level 25 (rounded). Of course the solution is somewhere in the middle between the two edge cases.
