Grinding Strategies?

Postby emailboxu » Sun Mar 03, 2013 3:16 am

So I'm aiming to see if I can get far enough to beat the after-end game , anyone got any fast-grinding strats? Atm all I'm doing is abusing the special foods that give +Encounter rate to Golden Mobs and hunting down Golden FOEs... Are there any other +EXP type buffs apart from food and the Burst skill? Going to have to get to at least around 80, preferably.

I'm to understand that if you feed certain foods to overworld FOEs, you can actually turn them into rare breeds; do that with standard +EXP foods and the Holy Gift burst and you can probably get a lot; but I'm not sure how that'll measure up to the FOEs where you are.

- EXP boosting foods (Golden Goose or preferably the crystal drops from the Wyrm).

It's 5x faster when leveling individuals instead of an entire group, so I just had a circle I ran around in the 3rd maze where I used a lone Landsknecht/Bushi (and later a Bushi/Landsknecht) with Ferocity maxed out (Lv.4 for subclass = ~93 HP drain at Lv.70). Just lazily auto piloted my way from Lv.38 to Lv.70 in just a few hours.

That's a really good idea. I could probably do this for my 3 DPS classes, but not so sure about my Fortress or Medic :(

I just rested and re-subclassed my Lv.53 Fortress as a bushi for the sole purpose of grinding.

Probably going to level up to 70 and rest again, unless I find subclassing as a Bushi works really well.


The coordinates for my grinding location is C6 of the 3rd Maze, B3F.

I just hit 70 on my Fortress, and my other team members are close to hitting cap. Since it's post-game and all, you think it's worth Retiring them and grinding them up again? I'd like to beat this post-game maze, but I feel like I'd need them at a much higher level as I'm having huge difficulties with the regular mobs on the third floor.

The level cap boost is the same as the previous games. Right now all of my heroes are over level 80.
