Early AP Farming Method
West of Hammerhead there are 2 areas that are good areas farm below and above where it says three valleys. Right below the "V" in valley is a camp site. This will be the are you will be resting at. To the little valley behind the camp site is filled with sabretusks (i forget their names) that can be easily killed with warp strikes. If you enter stasis mode just warp to a vantage point then go back in for the kills. Northwest of this camp site is another area that has sabretusks to kill. All these enemies are level 2 so they're very easy to kill. As you get the necessary AP to unlock the damage boosts to warp strikes get them asap to help to darm faster
Early 50% EXP food (Chapter 3)
Recommended Level :15
When you get to Duscae make your way to the Chocobo farm located west of where it says Malacchi Hills. Speak to the owner about renting a chocobo but he says you have to kill Behemoth first. Stock up on fire spells to make the job easy. After you complete the mission i think you can do quests for the owner. One of these missions gives you access to a recipe that gives you 400+ hp and 50% more exp.
Thunderbolt Sword
In the southwestern most part of the map in the Malmalam Thicket is an extremely powerful lightning greatsword. If you are under geared it may be difficult but you can suicide run to where the camp site is. The area up ahead with monsters is the location of the sword. Use magic to make the job easier.
Early moogle accessory(20% more exp) and the Hardedge greatsword(easy enemy appenage breaks)
South of Causcherry Plains follow the winding road until right you see where the green road turns blue. There is a path east of the road through the brush you can take. There's also a hut that sells good fishing gear here. Keep heading east until you reach the cave entrance. Make sure to save. Kill the enemies in the entrance room (or bypass them by hugging the right wall )which is made easier by using the thunderbolt sword. Left path leads to hard edge after you fall into an area with eyeball enemies. Kill them then collect the sword. Go to your map and warp to the entrance. Go back in and take the right path which you have to squeeze through. Suicide run through until you reach a fork in the dungeon. The moogle accessory is on the ground with no enemies around then just warp back out.
