Guide to level up fast in Final Fantasy 16

Leveling up in Final Fantasy 16 is quite easy and can be done quite efficiently while performing a handful of tasks in the game. The easiest leveling-up options in Final Fantasy 16 are as follows:

  • Equip On Fortune and the Heavens Accessories for additional experience gain
  • You can also use Wages of Warcraft Accessories for an experience boost
  • Defeat enemies you find while traveling between objectives
  • Complete Hunts to obtain additional experience points
  • Complete side quests in between your main story quests
  • Set the difficulty to story-focused mode to make enemies easier

Apart from this, if you pre-ordered the game, you must have received an accessory called Scholar’s Spectacles. If you equip these, then you will get a 10% experience bonus.

Lastly, if you want to ensure that your leveling up is optimal, you should complete the steps presented above in between your main story quests. It is better that you slot in 30 minutes of your time grinding a bit instead of rushing through the story.

This way, once you hit the late game, you will not be forced to spend hours finishing side quests just to reach the recommended level requirement.
