Thread: Good place to level up

  1. #1

    Default Good place to level up

    My main party is at level 62-65. I'm at Disc 4. Where do you recommend I level up? Right now I've been fighting the Grand Dragons by Daguerreo. Thanks.

    Daguerro is still the best place to Level. Or you can just head to Memoria

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    You can fight Yans on Vile Island. They give around 14000 EXP.
    Other than that I think Grand Dragons are the best until you reach Memoria.

    Why are you leveling up still? You can beat the game, just fine.

    If you must unecessarily max out your characters, than Grand Dragons or Yans are the best bet. Yans are very dangerous though, and if you get unlucky, you get Virus'd and don't gain any Exp. But use Zidane's Masamue to inflict the 'Death Sentence' status on them, for an easier kill. Grand Dragons can be offed by 'Level 5 Death' as well as the Masamune.

    Yans are the best source of Exp. but are, as mentioned, very tricky. Ideally you want to hit them one at a time, and always for as close to 9,999 damage as possible. In addition to throwing virus at you, they will sometimes counter with snort (if you hit more than one at a time, more than one character might get snorted), which sends an ally out of the battle. Also, you want good mag. def., auto-regen, auto-life wouldn't hurt...

    When you get tired and frustrated with them after about six or seven more levels, by all means beat the game with relative ease.

    Memoria and the Yans are the best places. Grand Dragons get obsolete once you get to the high levels.

    The best places in Memoria are the spots where you fight Behemoths. They're easy to kill and give you pretty nice EXP.

    All good spts. I recommend fighting in Memoria.

    Too bad there is no FF9's equivalent to the Island Closest to Heaven/Hell like FF8. I guess you could say Vile Island, but you only fight those bloody Yans!

    Arrrgghh!

    By the way I tried to get to level 100 with my party once but it took so long just to get one level up by the time you het around LV 80.

    Fighting Grand Dragons near Daguerreo is a good idea since they're pretty easy to beat, they give a good amount of EXP and they power up Freya's Dragon Crest. After that, Memoria is also a good place for EXP, especially the first few floors, if I remember correctly. Three Yans is a risky strategy, but they give you a good amount of EXP. To defeat them, I suggest using Odin (combined with the Odin's Sword ability that lets him make additional wind damage if his Zantetsuken misses), Freya's Dragon Crest and Steiner's Climhazzard.

    *Coral rings are good for thunder absorption* You had auto-life in disc 1? OK, I think you can get a rebirth ring pretty early, but it takes a long time to master. So at most you'll have one person with auto-life. I always do the chocobo stuff early, so I took a mountain choco to that spot in disc 2, and got many levels with few fights.

    I think Yans should give twice the EXP. they do, considering the hassle they cause...

    yans are the best.probably my most killed enemy in the game.

    1)equip insomniac and cast night (blue magic).
    2)fire away (do NOT wake them up).

    i got ALL EIGHT characters to level 99 before i even knew it.
