As far i know, Rare coin give Experience lvl 12, which mean 120 xp per cast. There is debased coin too, but i've sold them by accident lol.

You just have to add the coins in elemency to make an Expericast spell.

Then go to the timed quest, equip your spell, cast it on all those cactuar, suffer from their needles until cooldown is over. Rinse and repeat.

do NOT use coins for exp cast...

What are coins used for then?

[chrcoluk]

just to note expericast doesnt matter who you use it on, gives same amount of exp bonus whether it some sabertusks or cactuars. (fixed exp bonus not % based)

I did the same timed quests hoping it would give me a bunch of needles but is just remedy and other potions, of course those are still good drops to have, but the normal drops dont come fromt hese guys.

Without expericast or other EXP buffs it will give about 60k exp.

When i first did that quest i got 88K EXP without any buffs. Went from mid lvl 20's to lvl 40 lol

Yeah it doesn't give much anything else, was still nice to get 70 mega-potion lol.

Still nice xp with xp buff and expericast though :P.

Yea, today is the best day to farm for EXP. Just too bad They don't drop Cactuar needles, cuz I just spent 2 hours looking for Cactuars and only found one, but it only dropped an oracle coin ='( . Good news is, I just farmed the timed quest today (Cactuars by the first dungeon area) for about 1 Million EXP. I spammed ragnarok, Used the Magitek suits for invincibility and spent 2 hours on this quest. It was awesome and for the downtime, I just muted the game and watched netflix on the side LOL. Went all the way to level 85, And only in Ch.4!

Well im not one to encourage over levelling, cause i pretty much did the whole game up to the end of ch.13 as a level 1 lol.

But hey, as long you are happy and having fun.

I'm very happy, Game is pretty good, even if it's side quests (which are basically fetch quests) are not up to par to my favorite recent RPG's (Witcher 3 & Divinity OS:2), I enjoy the story, the bromance, the monsters, the incredible graphics and the world of FFXV in general. My first FF since FFX, and FFVII.

Just did the quest twice. Got 160K experience in store.

I don't know if I should head to Galdin and sleep there or go for another run.

I think the only way to not be over levelled is to deliberatly not level up as you doing :)

I mean at chapter 5 enemies are still barely level 15 on main quests which is ridicously low.

As I understand it you need a slactuar or whatever they called for needles, they apparently appear in same places as cactuars but are even rarer, normal cactuars have oracle coins as 100% chance drop. I have found it incredibly hard to even get a cactuar to spawn and the known spawn sports are ripe in airship drops, so I will just wait til I have access to the treasure spot which spawns needles.

Yeah, they kinda messed that up when you think about the progression.

I got a needle right when i was going to kill that behemoth after meeting the chocobo guy. I guess i was lucky. To be honest, i ain't farming much atm. Wanted some magitek booster, but even with drop rate boss it's hell lol.
