Farming Job EXP

Job Exp is used for leveling up Jobs and Races which in turn earns new skills and abilities making it very important for building a strong character. This guide outlines some of the best ways to gain a large amount of Job Exp in a short period to time. This is by no means an exhaustive list so here a couple things to consider when designing your own farm.
 * Win on First Turn. You don't want to have to heal or worry about status effects so hit first and hit hard.
 * Minimize Farmers. You should only have one, maybe two characters doing the fighting because they'll generally need to be max Job/Race to deal the most damage. Everyone else should focus gaining Job Exp.
 * Max Job Exp Rate in Part 1 is 200% so don't try and raise it higher.
 * Most enemies, even strong ones, give about 2 - 5 Job Exp per enemy so farm weak enemies in large groups.
 * Play on Very Easy. Very Easy cuts all monster's health in half but gives the same Job Exp so throw away your pride.

Recommended Skills:
Lucky Song (Flirt lvl 8) - 200% Exp/Job Exp for this battle.


 * Songs and Dances activate quicker than other skills so if your Damage Dealer and Singer have similar agility this will activate first.

Wide Smash (Battle Master lvl 7) - (660% Att) Target: All Foes

Crazy Time (Battle Master lvl 10) (200% Att) Target: 6 Random Foes

Grand Cross (Paladin lvl 10) - (Holy 760% Will) Target: All Foes


 * Holy doesn't miss, can't be reflected and a lot of things are weak to it.



Recommended Abilities:
Prioritize Job Exp (Human lvl 3) - 50% Exp, 150% Job Exp

Job Exp Full Focus (Human lvl 8) - 0% Exp, 200% Job Exp

Job Exp 1.5 - Master Maid (lvl 10)

Encounter Quintuple (Flirt lvl 9)


 * The more time you spend walking, the less time you spend farming. Stack several for an encounter per step.

Encounter Double (Flirt lvl 2)


 * Same as above if you don't want to level Flirt a lot.

Preemptive Strike Up (Master Thief lvl3)


 * Not really necessary at higher agility but it helps.

Nullify Ambush (Thief lvl 9)


 * Even weak enemies can get ambush bonuses and stronger ones can cause real trouble.

Recommended Locations:



 * Rosutorumo Caves 4F

The biggest benefit to this area is that it can be accessed from the beginning of the game and gives above average Job Exp for a long time. You can find the caves by heading south of Happiness Village or North of Pornof. The whole Rosutorumo Caves pass seems to have the same enemy groups but Caves 4F seems to spawn groups of 4 Candle Girls more often than the other areas so it'll give you the most Job Exp.

Possible Encounters are:

4 Candle Girls for 8 Job Exp

3 Candle Girls for 6 Job Exp

1 Meda and 2 Candle Girls for 6 Job Exp

1 Orc Girl and 2 Candle Girls for 5 Job Exp

2 Roper Girls for 4 Job Exp.

At higher levels this place still gives good exp and you'll generally be strong enough not to worry about strategy and just hit everything hard but if you're lower leveled here's some tips.

Holy Damage works best here but if you don't have that, fire or lightning is a good alternative.

On normal, Roper Girls have the most health at 1100 HP but a 50% weakness to lightning while Meda has 640 HP and 50% Fire and Lightning Resistance so you'll need to do 1300 damage first turn if you're using Fire or Lightning to defeat all potential mobs. Holy needs to do about 900 damage per turn to defeat all potential mobs.

Ropers are Land Dwellers so Land-Dweller Slayer (Hunter lvl 7) can help. Medas are Insects so Insect Slayer (Bowmaster lvl 8) for them.

Beast Slayer (Hunter lvl 7) for Orc Girls and Ghost Slayer (Medium lvl 5) for Candle Girls but they're pretty weak so it shouldn't matter.

Luka is a pretty good choice for a farmer because his heroism skills "Burn! Spinning Decaptiation" (Apprentice Hero lvl 10) and "Red Lotus Heavenly Cyclone" (Hero lvl 8) deal fire damage and do 30% more because of his Unique Trait.

Other choices are any magician for Mega Fire (Magician lvl 8) and Mega Thunder (Magician lvl 8). Just recruit Tiny Lamia by rescuing the harpies and rest at the Pocket Castle's Inn every time you need more mana.


 * Admininstrator's Tower B1F

This is undoubtedly the most popular farming area and for good reason. It is the only place Honey Pots and Mimics are randomly encountered. However, it cannot be accessed until the very end of the game. Note: If you've already beaten the game, an alternate version of the tower spawns in the main world in the same spot as before, a little east from the Tartarus. Here's the potential mobs.

Honey Pot 25 Job Exp

Mimic 15 Job Exp

Junk Doll Girl 12 Job Exp

Shadow Girl and Paintgeist 10 Job Exp

Shadow Girl and Chimera Homunculus 10 Job Exp

Shadow Girl and Neo Iron Maiden 10 Job Exp

Honey Pots and Mimics are uncommon but not as rare as they were in earlier versions of the game. In order to defeat all mobs, first turn on normal, you'll need to do 10,000 damage to all enemies. Honey Pots and Junk Doll Girl both have 10,000 health but they are weak to Holy along with every other monster here. Also Shadow Girls often evade attacks but Holy can't miss making it the all round best choice.

You'll want an angel for Purifiying Light (High Angel lvl 10) or a Holy spell user for Grand Cross (Paladin lvl 10). They both do the same damage (Holy 760% Will) but Purifiying Light is only available to angels while Grand Cross has a longer animation so pick one.

Doll Slayer (Puppeteer lvl 5, Machina Master lvl 6) and Ghost Slayer (Medium lvl 5) for extra damage on everything but Chimera Homunculus. Chimera Slayer (Magical Scholar lvl 6) for her but the Slayers might not be needed depending on your damage.

If you are having trouble dealing enough damage, consider a bringing a Subterranean Insect Pope. Subterranean Insects have 350% Willpower making them one of the best Holy and White Magic users. Additionally, a Vocaloid learns the song Daisy Bell which enhances all allies' elemental attacks by 50% giving Holy a substantial boost.

Finally, Mimics drop Seeds of Fortune (1/8) and Small Medals (1/32) and Honey Pots drop Seeds of Knowledge (1/8) and Small Medals (1/32). Equip a character with Item Drop 2.0 (Gambler lvl 9) for a nice tertiary benefit farming here.
