Getting AP but staying at Low Level???

[Xurts]

Before you get the flying Garden, you can fight Fastitacolan-Fs on beaches. They have very little/no exp and offer 3 AP each I believe. When you get the flying Garden the best place is definitely the Kashkabald Desert, it's directly west of Cactuar Island and is accessible by the Garden. I actually leveled up off the exp Cactuars give while I was farming AP for GFs :P.
