Survival levels

Additional Survival Skill Information

How to Increase Survival Skill Level

Gladiolus gains SP for his skill by traveling on foot. The total distance required to travel by foot gets longer as Gladio's Survival skill level increases.

Tips for Increasing Survival Skill Level

Since walking is the only way to level up this skill, keep traveling around by foot and only use the Regalia or any type of fast travel if necessary or if you do not have a lot of time on your hands.
