Grinding at Bounty Hill

Easy location in semi early game to grind gold and levels once you've started building your base.

Quick Levels (and Gold) Grind till 36

This is a quick and dirty guide to grinding levels (up to 36-ish) at one of the locations that opens up immediately after you get access to your castle base.

This place also includes food nodes and a pelt node, so you can farm it for base upgrade materials if you wish. It is recommended that you bring sufficient recovery items, and Cassandra in your Support slot (so you can swap party members at save points) if you want to grind all your party members in the roster to 36 here.

1) Head south-east from your castle base to Bounty Hill.

2) Wander in, and follow the path till you reach the save point. Feel free to explore a bit if you like. At some point, you'll find your progress blocked by a guard.


3) Just run circles around the guard, while sticking as close to him as possible. The monsters that spawn when combat procs are monsters from the next area (rather than the Level 16 area you're in when you first get here).


4) These monsters have 200 or so hp each, but yield fantastic amounts of XP since you're fighting creatures significantly higher leveled than you. They also drop a decent chunk of money. Just focus fire, play it smart and you'll be all good.

5) Just rinse and repeat until satisfied.

Wyler & Marin

Bounty Hill is also where you can recruit Wyler (ranged bow DPS) and Marin (ranged support).

Just talk to Wyler at the entrance of Bounty Hill near the save point to initiate the quest, wander around a bit with him in the party to several easily accessible gathering nodes, and kill an easy monster to recruit them both.

No mather how many fights i get into at the side of the guard, its always the blue birds or the hungry bats, think that they fixed this spot to grind levels maybe.

@Kromosom you can't. You have to advance the story up to where you have to go to Euchrisse.

Can you tell me how to pass through the guardian and go to the deeper forest? I wanna get dire beastbone material in there

Once the guard lets you through, you can do this again at the next guard further in. He's by a save point so definetly save first because the mobs are incredibly tough and may need some RNG favor to beat.
