Where should I level?

Geddoe · Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2006 2:31 pm Post subject: Where should I level?

I saw topic where characters in the 40's should level. I'm on my way to unlock the Dawn Rune's power after Lyon gets poisoned and I have some characters that I'd like to level. Where would be a good place to get them up to speed? Also, is it possible to reunlock the dungeon where the Big Hole is? I went back there and found that it was closed up again.

Thanks for any help!

as for the big hole dungeon, it all depends. are you talking about first floor or the bottom floor where eresh takes you. if your talking about where eresh takes you and you recruited her then you have to take her back with you. if it's the top floor it should be open. but then again i don't think you can travel any where until after you finished the whole ruins in the twilight forest. but the forest and the ruins are a good place to level up of where you are at.

Another good place is just outside your base. Also, if you are about level 45, equip a Great Firefly Rune and the Champion Rune and got to the south-west of Sable and fight there. You should get scorpians, sabre tooth tiger things and raging assassins. These'll take you up to level 56 with four or five peeps.

And you'll get a few Zombie Dragons here and there, which drop flame array armour. Good to sell and equip.

I did most of my playing around in the ruins at the end, since you can leave and come back by backtracking to Lucerina. She'll return to the castle even hehee.
Otherwise, as Random said, the area with sabre tooth tigers and raging assassins.. that's where I leveled up my people :)

The dungeon to *spoiler* recruit Eresh levelled my guys up to 60, and dropped ridiculous amounts of potch, crazy Rune pieces, all kinds of stuff. I had Lorelai with me with her Treasure Hunting deal at A, and one encounter even dropped a Fortune Rune piece for me. My guys were at level 60 for all of the last storyline parts of the game, from the point where the option to recruit that Star came up until the final ruins. On another note, I still haven't beaten the game, but that's an issue for another day.

The monsters down there weren't particularly powerful, but I don't know about a group in the 40's trying to level there. I'd say closer to level 50 would be best...although I did level two of my characters up from the low 30's up to 60 along with everyone else, when I kept them with a very strong overall party. The main drawback to that dungeon is that you can't re-enter it once you've left. Luckily, I brought my usual ridiculous entourage, to take full advantage while I was down there. I was quite irked when I couldn't descend back down when I wanted to bring another party of characters with me. All the same though, worth exploiting when you've got the chance, in my opinion.

*spoiler*
Of course, recruiting Eresh does remove the possibility of recruiting Euram Barows at the end of the game. If you're dead-set on recruiting Euram, the dungeon will never be available to you. :(

Yeah, you can get all the treasures in that stuff without having to worry about the "consequences".

Yeah, there's a little impish creature which I believe occasionally casts Explosion, the Level 3 Fire spell. That might kill off low-levels if they have poor magic defense, but you can revive them for the next battle, and they should quickly reach a point where they can at least survive the spell. All of the monsters down there will cast Fire magic, but most of them will just continuously target your tank with the 'Flame Wall' or whatever the level 2 Fire spell is.

I personally used mostly Magic Drain and Level 4 Rune spells to clear the dungeon quickly, combined with an occasional strong Formation Skill and some quick sword work from the rest of my party. I highly recommend bringing someone with Treasure Hunt though, because the treasures down there really are very good. I recommend always having someone with Treasure Hunt, in fact.

I didn't realize that if you pulled out before the boss that you didn't have to lose the chance to recruit that other Star though. I didn't want to anyway, so I just fought the boss, but hey, good to know for the future.

I am trying to delay finishing the game for the first time some more by maybe doing some leveling, but I just reclaimed so-falena, do I have to level during the period that isato, zweig, and haswar is taking up 3 spots in the party?

Well equipping the Great Firefly Rune and just moving up and down of the Eresh dungeon will usually level my guys to level 63 at least...I had the Fotune Rune equipped too. With it Big Hole is the highest leveling spot in the game...but not the best as it is a pain to drag your ass from Rainwall( the closest warp point) then through the Big Hole itself..then through the Jeane dungeon before even reaching the Eresh Dungeon.

Just go to Lunas and follow the directions to get rid of Isato and Haswar. Then enter the final ruins then tell Luserina to retreat to get rid of Zweig, this also causes Luserina to move back to her normal spot on Floor One of your Castle next to the stairs saving you from the painful trek to the Sun Palace.

. . . . . . . . .

I used the area east of Stormfist to level up my characters to 50+. I used it, because I don't have Eresh, I got Euram.

With Eresh, definitely the Ruins.
