So I'm trying to get all party at level 90, to make it worth using the Onion Knight (thanks Maxx Power!)
What is the best place to level up in the game? Is it the final dungeon? Speaking of which, how do I kill Dragons? I'm at level 60-62 already, but they keep on owning me.
Also, does anyone know how the class leveling up system works? Refia seems to never level up her classes and this annoys me to no end, while Ingus is the fastest, but I couldn't quite get why this happens.
One of the best ways to level is going up against some of the summoning enemies on the first level of the crystal tower. The purple-tentacle things (the name eludes me) will summon Kum-Kums on their turn. The idea is you kill the Kum-Kum and another is summoned. Going on in this manner you can gain upwards of 100k experience per battle. This technique is best used with one character, since they gain more experience this way and you don't have to faff on with the other characters. It's worth mentioning if you haven't already switched to a Black Belt then do so while you level. Not only do they have stupidly high damage with enough job levels (they gain 2 additional attack points per job level) but they have one of the highest HP gains out of all the classes. If you want to reach 9999 HP it's almost essentially to use BB's for most of the way, especially at the higher levels when the HP bonus gains grow larger.
Dragons are just a case of having enough firepower to take them out. If you fight in the ??? Dungeon then I would recommend running from Red dragons until you reach the 70's. Infact once you do reach that high a level then the ??? Dungeon is the best place to level for OK's, since you can also gather up Onion Equipment. Against Red Dragons don't be afraid to use an Elixir or two to keep yourself alive, since chances are you'll be getting one at the end of the battle. It probably goes without saying but make sure you also have levelled sufficiently before you start taking on the ??? Dungeon.
As for levelling classes, there is a hidden variable (Job EXP) that goes up by a given amount everytime you take a valid action. When it reaches 100 you gain a job level. This is classified as Attack, Guard, Item and a class' special ability (be it Magic or otherwise). From job levels 1-14 it generally goes up by 20 points, with the exception of the scholar, which goes up 24 per level (though in practice it doesn't make a difference). What this means is that you will see a job level (up to level 14) for every 5 actions you take in battle. Beyond level 14 the amount gained differs with each class, with Freelancers gaining the most and (ironically) Onion Knights gaining the least. Job EXP gained doesn't roll over to the next level, so you can only gain one job level per battle. If you want to gain job levels more easily then take on weaker enemies near places like Ur, guard every round for a few turns, and then finish them off. Since the amount gained is the same against any enemy you can job level pretty much anywhere, though I personally prefer to job level as I'm standard levelling as well.
