Good places to level up at?

[Zeromus_X]

I've just defeated (SPOILER) Doctor Cid in Draklor Laboratories and my main party is at levels 36-38. What good places are there to farm experience and Gil where I'm at?

And don't tell me it's easy to get Gil in this game! I become increasingly poor the further I go into it!

Also,

(SPOILER)What on earth is this Venat thing? Is this thing going to get an explanation any time soon? It's really starting to irritate me.

(SPOILER)When will Reddas join my party?

You're at the Port now, right? If you are, there's some land right outside there that should give you decent EXP and nice things to sell. I dunno how hard it will be. Lots of flying enemies there, but if you oil and fire them they'll die in two seconds. If that's hard, just try the Phon Coast or something? Heading to the Feywood could be nice, too. The enemies there will start to give like 1k exp a pop and aren't really difficult. Set someone to Steal to make lots of yummy profit.

Make sure you buy Embroidered Tippets if you're just trying to level since they double your EXP earned and all that cool stuff.

(SPOILER)Venat eventually gets explained. You're heading to a big explanation right now in Giruvegan.

And Reddas will join your party after you're done with Giruvegan things.

Anyway, I think that's all the parts you're at. If not, just ignore everything I said and call me a chicken-cow hybrid as an insult.

Oh, thank you so much Lunar.

(SPOILER)And I hope so. >_> No matter how cool it looks, it just annoys me.

Thanks alot for marking your freaking spoilers! But don't worry, I've just edited your entire post here. Don't spoil the game for other people again, much less me! ~ Zeromus

If you're interested in making money, I found that it's very easy to chain cerberus and other dog-like creatures in the (SPOILER)Feywood. Prime pelts are a very common drop and they sell for over 1,000 gil a pop. They also sometimes drop franciscas, which is an Axe. It has an attack power of like, 89 or something, and it sells for 5,000 a pop. That's a rare drop though.

For experience, the next two big places you're headed plot-wise are probably best.

For money, just slaughter Mirrorknights in the area directly west of the Feywood save crystal. By the time you get a chain of a hundred or so, you'll have accumulated enough loot to sell for roughly 200,000 Gil. It should take less than an hour, even if you're not at particularly high levels.

You should make sure that you have one party member constantly stealing from monsters to maximize the amount of loot that you get.

Yes, I have Ashe with that 'Foe: HP 100% -> Steal' Gambit on when I'm out in the field. Is there another Gambit combination that would be more effective (I just went shopping for Gambits)? Edit: She always has the Thief Cuffs on too, of course.

I also purchased like forty Teleport Stones so I don't have to worry about walking everywhere anymore.

Thanks alot everyone!

Tchita Uplands. The Serpent there gives Tanned Hide (Something like that) which worth 600 gil, Coeurl gives Embroidered Tippet and Coeurl Pelt which worth 600 gil, Malboro there sometimes gives Malboro Fruit which also worth 600 gil. They have yummy EXP too. I enter Tchita Uplands when my level is 33 but when I reach Sochen, my level is 44!! I also have 78 Coeurl Pelt, 99 Tanned Hide, 5 Embroidered Tippet and 32 Malboro Fruit.

Does anyone have a good place to level up past 60, right now I am in the Nabreus Deadlands/the Necrohal of Nabudis.

Any places better than that.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I'd say (SPOILER)the Penumbra inside the Pharos. It's host to a steady stream of enemies that give 1700-2000 experience apiece.

[Timerk]

Thanks

(SPOILER)Giruvegan - Great Crystal and Henne Mines is also a good place for Level 60+. And obviously, not the area which you can access on your first visit.

Add "Poach" to Foe, HP = critical" as a gambit to someone in your party, it will get you the prime loot

I'm still leveling up early in the game but I found out that the Lhusu mines skeletons drop 200 gil bone fragments, the tomatos at Ogir Yensa drop 300 gil succulent fruit and those "armored Ulstrix" at Nam Yensa drop 1000 gil crooked staffs. Great places to line up your party's pockets

^You don't get EXP and LP when you use Poach. That's the weak point of Poach.
