Leveling Guide: How to Level Up Fast

Here is a guide on leveling up fast in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake (DQ3). Read on to learn how to level up fast, the best places to level up, EXP farming tips, and more!

How to Level Up Fast

Equip Elevating Shoes

The Elevating Shoes is a pre-order bonus that allows players to gain experience for each step they take in the overworld.

This is best for players still in the early game, as this allows for easier grinding while your required EXP for levelling up is not too high yet.

However, this item is only available as a pre-order bonus so if players miss out on pre-ordering the game, they will miss out on this item.

Defeat Metal Slimes

Metal Slimes is your go-to enemy to farm levels with. They give out lots of experience points, allowing you to rack up levels as quickly as possible.

How to Defeat Metal Slimes

Ways to Beat Metal Slimes
Use the Poison Needle Use Coagulant Use the Headman's Axe Use the Puff! Spell Use Martial Artist Class Characters

Use the Poison Needle

While the Poison Needle inflicts only one point of damage, it has a chance to instant kill an enemy. Equip all party members with this weapon to increase your chances of activating this effect and easily defeat the Metal Slimes.

Use Coagulant

The Coagulant item can confuse an enemy, making them unable to escape. There is also a chance that confused monsters will attack the other monsters, making it very effective in wiping out Metal Slimes.

Use the Headman's Axe

The Headman's Axe has low accuracy, but when it connects, it's always going to be a critical hit. We recommend equipping this weapon to the Warrior Class in your party.

Use the Puff! Spell

The Puff! spell can deal massive damage to Metal Slimes because of its fiery nature. The downside is that it takes one turn to transform into a dragon before you can attack, so we recommend you use the spell Acceleratle to characters with slow speed.

The Puff! spell can only be learned by the Sage and Mage Classes at Level 34.

Use Martial Artist Class Characters

Martial Artist Class characters have a high critical hit rate, so having them as your main offense in your party will ensure high damage against the Metal Slimes.

EXP is Allocated to the Whole Party

The experience points you gain are divided by the number of people in your party. With this in mind, to level up fast, reduce the number of people in your party and focus on the specific Job Class you want to level up.

Best Places to Level Up

Tower of Transendence for the Early to Mid-Game

The best place to level up for the early-to mid-game is to defeat Metal Slimes in the Tower of Transcendence. Each slime can give you 4,140 experience points, which is more than any monster you can face at this point in your gameplay.

Rimuldar for the End-Game

The best place to level up for the end-game is by defeating Liquid Metal Slimes in Rimuldar. These slimes can give 40,200 experience points. You'll be racking up levels fast as you go along this area and defeating this type of enemy.
