In , there is no better way to get experience for levels than by farming Metal Slimes. Farming for experience can be important when leveling characters after switching their Vocations, which resets them back to level one.
It can also be crucial to get new party members up to speed when recruiting new characters at Patty's Party Planning Place. Metal Slimes have incredibly high Agility, which means that they have high priority to go first during combat.
They are resistant to most Spells and Abilities, outside of ones that deal normal Physical damage. They also flee quite often, which can lead to frustration if the player does not know how to adequately deal with them.
There are many places to farm Metal Slimes in, but they are few and far between until you reach the endgame. The first place the player will encounter Metal Slimes is in the Tower of Transcendence, but this is a far cry from the best place to farm, as Liquid Metal Slimes do not appear.
Liquid Metal Slimes give over 10x the amount of exp as regular Metal Slimes, so in order to maximize farming efficiency, players should focus on finding Liquid Metal Slimes.
