Does Maria's rank 4 skill Purpose affect archetype exp too?

If it only boosts exp, then isn't it a nerf? As you level, the same enemies give less exp and archetype exp. So you level faster, but then your archetype exp plummets...

If it only affects exp, isn't it a trap?

im unsure, but the real reason you get maria rank 4 is for cooking without spending time, this lets you cook a lot of items and a lot of those items are very powerful

Thanks for the answer. I guess I'll get it now regardless.
