XP grinding tips?

[chromatic]

Hey guys, do you have any tips for faster XP grinding? I cook food for some XP boost and I take advantage of the battle chains, but is there a better place to grind for these battles and anymore tips? Btw I'm level 45 right now. Thanks in advance.

Story mode difficulty and keep on grinding harder areas until you outlevel it by a few levels. If changing the difficulty isn't in your best interest, it's making sure that you have enough food to continue grinding away. Depending on the length of the grind, you may be better off with Heal CP after battle meals especially if you find yourself abandoning before getting through the first half let alone using items.

Don't waste your time grinding exp, you'll get 20 levels just from walking to the end of the game. Focus more on finding better weapons/armor.
Once you actually beat the game you'll get a extra dungeon that'll give you literally 30 levels from 60 for just walking around. Then a boss that'll give you the last few to 100.

Thanks for the tips! I didn't know that increasing the difficulty gives more XP (and I'm playing on normal). The meals are really helpful indeed.

difficulty doesn't adjust EXP, it just makes enemies have less stats so the battles go faster.

Just get the Golden Suit Armor (80% EXP boost). Try to farm a Boss from Earth Temple >> Profit. Adjust difficult to make it easy to kill.

Artifact #10: Golden Suit of Armor
Effect: Increases EXP earned from battle by 80%
Reward for completing Sub-Quest “Spirit Temple“. It’s located in Menancia > Traslida Highway (only available after defeating the 5th lord in Ganath

make it to the tower of wind (the ridge)
there are lvl 66 trash mobs at the bottom floor.
they will be kinda spongy at lower levels than 50, but their attacks are easy to dodge.
it's 1 pack..consisting of around 6-7 hawks.
you can level extremely fast there, especialy when using happies to go in with a max-chain-bonus and the right L exp food (and char to cook it with maxed boni, at the cost of duration).

dunno about lowering the difficulty. i mean why even bother grinding then? but i guess it's your choice.

The Achievement for hitting level 100, that's why you'd lower the difficulty since you get more EXP on lower difficulties

I mean by the time you have the materials for 100 weapons and have finished every subquest your probably damn near 100 without grinding anyway.

if it's the last achievment missing (or one of the last) you will be close to beeing maxed out (unless you somehow intentionaly gimped yourself along the way).
which leaves only grinding to get some of the higher level side-content done, before you are "naturaly" ment to (which probably many of us did). whereas i don't see the point in lowering the difficulty...it kinda defeats the purpose of doing "challenging" stuff...it's just must take. if you don't care, all the more power to you.

The best places to grind for XP are:
1. The final story dungeon if you're in the 50's-60's
2. The post-game dunegons if you're above that
3. If you're in the 90's, keep fighting the final boss of the final bonus dungeon... he gives a TON on XP

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll try these, specially the armor that gives a 80% boost

I personally enjoyed grinding some of those birds in the tower once you hit endgame, from 40-60ish they give like base 6K exp aand with bonuses up to like 20K for a relatively "easy" fight. If you can keep them downed/crowd control them enough they go down easily.
