I started out EO3 with what I consider an abnormal team, 4 farmers and a prince. I gave the prince the ability that heals your party every turn you have full hp and gave all the farmers the +30% experience skill, as well as a few points each in harvesting.
It seems to work very well ironically, but I suspect my pacing is off. What level are people typically when they hit the 3rd floor? I hit the 3rd floor at with my party at level 13, after being able to clear out every FOE on the 2nd floor on my way there. Having 4 farmers, I can harvest tons of chop/take resources from the 1st two floors and afford the best gear for my party easily, which might be helping.
Also, the very first thing I did when starting was make one of each class and give them the ability where they get exp when not in the party. They're all actually leveling up at a respectable rate just sitting back at the guild, for when I figure at some point my farmers will start to get outclassed and I'll need a real party.
Anyone else playing with a farmer pile? :)

Huh. I have a secondary party of a monk and 4 farmers for gathering, and they get ass raped in battle. Let me know how long your party lasts before you replace them. If you do. Although I guess it would be possible to beat the game with that team after subclassing. Good luck!

I have a team with a Farmer/Buccaneer, Farmer/Wildling, Farmer/Prince, Monk/Farmer, and a Hoplite I use as a second team for harvest runs, but I don't use them as a primary party. They all have Combat Study maxed out, and they're fairly self sufficient in the labyrinth, but not amazing at combat. They can handle one or two fights on the current stratum, a quick run through the stratum above, and all others strata they can harvest in almost indefinitely. They aren't amazing in battle, although I have used them to clear out early strata FOEs and bosses. They're roughly between level 30-40 right now, and my main party is level 48 and just starting the 4th stratum.
