    Just go through the entirety of the nobody castle, from start to finish. Each nobody except for the creepers are worth 1000 exp, and where there are creepers there are like 40 of them, so that makes up for their measly 600 exp.

    As Dynast-Kid said, go to the top of Pride Rock. You know that spell, Magnet/Magnera/Magnega? This's a good place to use it to gain some exp. Having the Gullwing Keyblade equipped is a good idea to boost exp.

    Happy levelling!

    BZZT WRONG YOU ARE ALL WRONG

    Except SRL. He's right. Go into Critical Mode, equip Gull Wing, and your own natural EXP+ skill. Every 1k EXP kill will triple to 3k. 400 (Creepers) --> 1200, and Dusks --> 1800.

    To ensure that you get the kills, set Donald and Goofy to "Sora Attack."

    but wat omg i thot thta top of prid rok is teh b3st!!!11oneone1elevenshift!
    LOL no.

    In terms of pure EXP per run, the Heartless at the top of Pride Rock only give 51 --> 153 EXP, assuming that you kill them all yourself. Since there's only something close to 200 enemies, that's 153*200, equalling 30600 EXP, total, per run. That's not even a level. Not only that, it only occurs once, and the level must be exited. You remember the effort it took to get from the nearest save to the top of Pride Rock? Yeah? With the headaches and the walls?

    There are approximately 30 1k Nobodies. In case you don't have a calculator nearby (not that you need one), a solo kill is 3k *30, equalling 90000 (lol not even), which is something close to 1.2 levels. Let's not forget about Crooked Ascension, which has Creepers, approximately 20 of them. 400*3 = 1200. 1200 * 20 = 24000 + the 1k Nobodies in Ascension. 4 Samurai, 6 Berserkers (it might be more). 4+6 = 10. 10 * 3000 = 30000. 24000+30000 = 54000. that's most of the EXP in WtNW itself.

    Without EXP+, that's (90000+54000)/3. 36000. That's STILL better!

    Not only that, doesn't it take a long time to get from 120 HP to critical? 30 HP? Why, yes it does precious. Too bad those Heartless never attack you. Ever. A Sorceror is a free 10 hits (okay, so it does like, 2 damage), and NOT avoiding those Snipers is a missed Reaction (20-some HP), + Sniper's melee attack (a blinkstrike, about 10 HP). That's two, three hits to Crtical before the rage-out? NO EFFING WAY.

    Seriously. And the drops are better in WtNW. You get Dense and Twilight materials as opposed to Thunder SHARDS THAT'S RIGHT smurfING SHARDS YOU BUY THOSE AFTER GETTING 30! LOL! EL OH smurfING EL!

    C'mon, now, people. Try playing Kingdom Hearts, people. It's a good game.

    Geez...I think you should just level up at TWTNW, it's much more easier, interesting and better to lvl grind there than Pride Rock.

    Yesterday I was lvl 89, today I'm level 97, and only done 2 hours of game play. All I did was run through the castle, fighting every enemy insight. Pretty easy, and didn't get boring.

    That's like telling me you gained 4 levels by doing 4 Tomb runs at level 21.

    There are far more effective ways to level.

    Hmph...well I take breaks, and Pride Rock gets really boring and crap. I love seeing Riku battle it out next to me on twtnw, it's interesting to see how similar in movement he is to my main man, Sora, but still isn't up to his caliber.
