Easily reach max level (30) from King Slime/PoF Chief

[Lazaek]

Both of these encounters have a boss that constantly spawns adds if there aren't 2 up already, so you can repeatedly OHKO them over and over for massive XP.

The end-battle XP for one hit KOs seems to increase over and over again giving the entire party massive XP, enough to easily hit max level due to how the game uses level based diminishing returns.

The only downside is that you can't do this if you've levelled past their effective XP level range, since even OHKOs will give 0 XP at that point.

Keep in mind that if you're doing the King Slime hunt version you'll need roughly 2k gold/materials to get into the well for the encounter.

Lastly, I have a screenshot and short video but haven't uploaded them yet since it's on PS4, but I'll try to get it up a bit later.

Aside that this exploit might have been left by the developers on purpose, is it not shameful to try to "outplay" such a beautiful game such a cheap way?

The only factor I'd say that probably isn't intentional is that it seems that the XP bonus per OHKO increases retroactively the more of them you get. So while getting a OHKO on one mob may give a bonus 50 XP at the end of the fight, it appears that getting a OHKO on 10 mobs by the end of the fight gives much, much more, say 1,000XP each for a total 10,000 XP (Just an example, not real stats).

I think that's less an exploit and more of what's supposed to be a bonus for killing more enemies in one battle, just taken to the max since there is unlimited potential for more enemies to kill in those two encounters.

There should probably be a limit to stop the XP growth from OHKOs, but preferably not something earlier than what you'd find in the arena to avoid unintentionally nerfing people who grind there normally

As far as trivializing the leveling system early on having negative effects on someone's playing experience, I'd say that's more of a personal opinion. I don't mind it.

Or you know just go download a trainer and max your characters levels out at the press of a button... This is literally just a waste of time... if you're going to cheat, go big or go home.

I wouldn't call killing enemies in-game cheating. Grinding maybe.
