Leveling (I know, it hurts)

Well as you guessed it, this will be SeekerFate's hell grind cbt locations. Note this won't be really that detailed, but it worked for me if your willing to spend an hour or two for a level at a somewhat decent rate in this exp hell with a group of people/friends.
lvl 1-9 This is mostly straightforward, just do the dungeons/quests you get and plow through tiamat (and/or get help) *Doing Training grounds,Kishinden(ehhh....),(daiku cave? according to friend),and cave of Karma on Hell is some decent exp to bolster your efforts through these levels*
lvl 10-16 Underground Cavern, specifically Byakkou's Cavern will probably be your best friend here, albeit boring as hell. Being able to do powerful aoe attacks really help with this grind. (This is also great place for getting some of the good lvl 25 weapons)
lvl 16-18 This can probably be done just by doing Izumo and some of the sidequests here. (If you need some supplements to exp here I'd reccomend maybe getting some more exp back at Byakkou's)
lvl 19+ Kyoto, if you've made it this far just pat on back no questions asked. (we know the feel)

I may come out with better locations later on and most likely I'm going to revise at least part of it when Open Beta starts but that remains to be seen for now.
Note:Byakkou is grind intensive but it provides some really decent rates (imo) for reasonable amount of time (with my group we could get roughly 1k exp per 6-7 mins on hard at lvl 14-16; we were doing it on hard due to ttk/exp ratio and the way we were grinding found it slightly more efficient but hell is the better choice pure expwise especially the faster you can clear it)
As for other notes um.... I'll list em later as they come.

Bro,

Im inside kishinden,
they said to find a key and brought the key to the gatekeeper.
I already eliminate all the enemies to the left gate.
but I found no key.

where I can find the key?
is this related to level?
fyi, Im lv 5

If you did the room with the daruma and the musha, and looted everything, then walk u pto the other door you were supposed to open and just click.




Also, I would like to advise anyone grinding Byakko to strictly run it on hell mode.

Running Byakkou on hell at level 15-20 gives at least 2k per run in 10 minutes if you don't die. If I duo with my friend we can clear in like 6. Just need a half decent weapon and high rank skill or two and you're good to go if you dodge well.

In all honesty, I find grinding Cave of Dreams Hell with a full party and a bunch of AoEs to be good exp

I believe after the multipliers its about 600-1k exp per 4-6 mins

Depends on how good someone is at grouping and how well the pt works together

At Kyoto there a dungeon with only a boss and few minions, you can directly kill the boss to have (now that exp is up) ~650 exp

You can finish this dungeon in 30 sec.

It's Ankan Forest (there is a Nue close to the dungeon)

I used this to up 19 to 25 normal then hard at lv 23.

And now I have to find a way to beat Odin... :X I want Kaguya before the end of this CBT :)

Try grinding Yakumo in the mean time to level up.

The level 29 weapon should get you through easily.
