I found a great place for farming levels / Nycrux (for Stargazer)

[C-Bass]

This I believe is the best spot for farming exp quickly. Travel to "Outside the Great Church" and right next to the teleporter, go right. This is the room you'll be farming. There are 4 "Infected Witch" enemies in this room that give 570 nycrux each. Using Accursed Phalanges you can very quickly dispatch all 4 of them in ~30 seconds or less even. Then you either make your way back up to the top and hit the desk again and rinse and repeat.. or perhaps even faster is to let one of them "burn" you and then you die in the room which is a bit quicker. I was able to get ~4000 Nycrux per minute doing this. Went from level 30 to level 70 in ~30 minutes.

Teleport to Junas Ministry.
Go left, kill the flying sister. Climb the ladder and go right, killing the two priests along the way. Continue further and kill two more priests and the big guy. Jump on the chandelier, dash to the (shortcut) ladder to the right and climb up. Enter the first door on your left.
Kill the 3 enemies and the Giant Patron, and go back inside.
Drop down to the left, all the way to the bottom. Kill the three enemies. Jump over the sarcophagus' and kill the big guy and the enemies surrounding him.
Return to the save point.
If done correctly, you gain about 20.000 Nycrux in about 90 seconds or so.

EDIT:
Should mention that this is a *very* late game farming method, whereas the OG is more midgame-ish. So both have their place. :)

The best endgame spot is the church floor above the "Altar of the Verb of Junas" savepoint:

Fron the savepoint go one room to the left: 1 x 1,150 EXP for the flying enemy with the spear

Then go up into the church. From the hole in the floor go to right:

2 x 310 EXP per monk

Go further to the right:

2 x 310 EXP per monk and 3,800 EXP for the huge enemy

Then go to left:

2 x 310 EXP per monk
1 x 520 EXP for the monik with the shotgun
1 x 390 EXP for the flying enemy taht comes down

Then go to further to left:

2 x 310 EXP per monk and 3,800 EXP for the huge enemy

Ypu can even go further to the left, but depending on you health it might be better to end the run.

That's 12,000 per run without EXP booster and it takes less than a minute (with 99 strength and any weapon on level 10).

99 STR?? Aren't stats capped at 50 with some characters being able to go up to ~56?

The best place depends on your build. With leenas bow and the icicles magic, I could one shot the witches with the baby carriage and 2 shot (with the bow) the umbrella ones. In that area in high mythringal of the safe point where you go right and descend in an S fashion I can kill 3 witches, 4 umbrella chicks, and maybe 3 flying cold ones while popping a hungry xp pot. Then I finish off another witch, umbrella chick and go into the bottom room to spend the rest of my focus or whatever to kill the gargoyle dude and and the 2 grabber ones. That would be I think something over 10k exp with the pot. The witches drop the hungry xp pot, so it was definitely designed to be a farm spot. The final area has mobs too far spread apart to be good for farming.

The Level cap is level 446. I'm level 230 and have to level up 216 times to reach 99 for every attribut:

Holy!! Can you one-shot the final bosses?? I'm only level 72 and the game feels awfully easy as a result and I feel over levelled

[Behold The Esoteric]

I have something much better:

From the Frozen Caverns altar located in the Damned Ruins of the Osseus Fortress region, take the lift to the right and exit to the right once you're at the top.

There are 8 banshee enemies that drop 750 EXP baseline, 901 EXP with a hungry essence and 1,050 EXP with a starving essence.

At baseline that's 6k a run which I can do in under 45 seconds with my +8 Ethereal Great Blade which will smoke them each in 3 hits and in 2 hits if one of those is a critical hit.

I'm level 90. My strength is 50.

Of the 3 charms I have equipped, 1 of them is the Moonshade Charm for +15% physical damage and 1 of them is the Grey Moon Charm for +8% critical chance and +12% critical damage.

You can get to this area relatively early and this has been my go-to farming spot since I found it.

You're welcome.

Attack power is 1,130 with the Etheral Great Blade on Level 10. The point of of diminishing returns is around level 50. The reason to level up even further is defence and resistance. Bosses still take quite a while even with 1.130 attack power (about 700 damage per hit).

It's six banshee enemies. 6 x 750 = 4,500 EXP without EXP boosters. If you can kill each enemy with two hits, you need 54 seconds until you reach the saveponit again. I stopped the time with my smartphone.

If you use the church route, you can kill all enemies on the floor of church in 82 seconds for 14,000 EXP. The Rift of Blood katana upgraded to level 10 can kill groups of enemies with R1 + X or R1 + square within five seconds. There are five groups of 2 to 3 enemies on the floor if you clear the church from the entrance to the altar and avoid going up.

I've been grinding here too (the church altar). I go right, into the other room at the right (easy enemies), to the left... I don't bother with the 'big daddy', then use hungry essence for that mob. I don't bother with the 3 last witches.

I did build up a good amount of Nycrux, died... Then on my way to get it I died again without getting it. Upon return got the lesser amount of Nycrux (obviously). So while it's a good location - cash em' in after a few goes! Milk those stats up!

[RouWa]

I found out you can buy EXP boosters in the mansion in the room right to the savepoint.

Also my weapons that scale with other attributs than strength do not get better if the attribut reaches about 50. I'm going to level all attributs up to 50 and then stop if there is no scaling advantage above 50.

I didn't actually time myself when killing them, but I guessed it was about 45 seconds and it still might be faster than your time of 54 seconds depending on playstyle and reflexes, but it wasn't a contest bud. Still, thanks for the work.

[RouWa]

I've created a map for the most efficient route.

The numbers are the EXP you gain per enemy without EXP boosters. The enemies outside the church drop "Hungry Essences", so you don't have to buy "Hungry Essences" in the mansion.

Edit: There is MUCH faster way to levle up on YouTube...
