Best Grinding and Farming spots?

[DriftNinjaElite]

I'm currently at Lumia Forest on Normal, and have found this to be a great spot to grind with the 4x Yeti and casting Burnflame on them to one shot them.

I am trying to keep certain locations in mind for Hard Mode for the sake of saving time, what are your favoite spots? I'm mainly looking at SC and MC earnings. I am trying to max out skill books and moves/certain magics early on.

Yeah, those 4x Yeti encounters are pretty good. There's a bunch of 6x Sandman encounters in Baked Plains that are great for early game grinding. Same with the 6x Desert Diver encounters in the Great Rift. I'm sure there are other good spots, but those are the ones that spring to mind right off.

If it comes to 1hit (2 item) Farming Spots:

Baked Plains 2 - Sandman - Near the exit are 2-4 groups of 6 Sandman (2x3) (2 Hand Grenades)

Lumir Forst - Big Foot - Near the exit are 2 groups of 4 Big Foots (2x2) (1 Burnflame)

Underground Plant (Valmar's Claw) - Every undead enemy - Warriors are good for SC, Skulls are good for SC and MC and Vein Brains are good for MC (1 Burnflame)

Great Rift - Desert Diver - Infront of the Demon's Law are 3 groups of 6 Desert Diver. You can either kill them with 2 Dynamites or with Wind Elemental Skills. After Leck Guarder is a Save Point so you can recover your MP there.

After the Great Rift there aren't any GOOD farming spots anymore. What you can do is get the Exp x2 Item from the Secret Stage and grind right infront of the entrance/exit of Raul Hills 2. Still that's not really good. If it should be fast and shouldn't take to long go with the Desert Divers and maybe the Underground Plant.

I just earned 10,000SC/7.5kMC in about a half hour doing the Lumir Forest grind and making use of the town recovery spot. All of Ryudos skills are maxed, i have some of the best magic currently and party is lvl 36. I'll probably stay here for a little while until ive maxed the major skills. Doesn't take long.

It may not be the best way to farm SC/MC, but I recommend farming for a bit on Aira's Space. You're almost there. With a maxed Pirate skill, you should be getting 1-3 seed drops regularly from battles.

I couldn't farm the underground plant. Enemies don't respawn and once you leave the place you can't go back in. Unless I'm missing something.

Never tried leaving and entering it again. Still there are a lot of encounters giving good exp, mc and sc in the first place. So farming in that place indicates defeating everything instead of just the enemies on the way.

I think you're missing that it's possible to backtrack all the way to the entrance and go back out into the castle. Doing this does respawn the enemies (at least the ones on the first floor near the entrance--I assume it respawns the entire area but didn't actually check). Once you engage the boss, you can't go back.

Can you leave and re-enter the Great Rift? I'm there now and its the last farming place.

[tiornys]

Yes. It's kind of a long hike back up the cliff.
