Explore Dungeon Thoroughly for Rewards

LAD Infinite Wealth - Metalworm

It's possible to quickly rush through the dungeon by just finding the elevators to take you to the next floors. But if you take the time to explore every nook and cranny in a dungeon, you'll get a lot of rewards like money, experience, and other unique items, allowing you to greatly improve your party.

Party Members Will Notify You for Items Nearby

If there's an item nearby, a party member will let you know in a dialogue pop-up, so try to search the surrounding area for the item. If no pop-up appears, you can safely proceed through an area.

Floors Where Innocent Missing Persons Appear are Fixed

In all dungeons, the floors where you'll find the victim are fixed; they will always appear on 2F, 4F, 6F, 8F, and 9F. Remember this tip if you want to collect Robo Disks efficiently.

Utilize AoE Skills

You'll encounter a lot of groups of enemies in these dungeons. Having multiple characters with Area of Effect (AoE) skills will make clearing these mobs much faster, so make sure to prepare if you're going to grind in the dungeons. Consider switching jobs to get these skills if necessary.

Running Out of HP Gets You Expelled from Dungeon

If Kasuga runs out of HP, you'll fail and will be forced to leave the dungeon. If you haven't reached a save point such as the one in the 5th floor, the floors you climbed will get reset, so be careful.

You'll Be Expelled with 1 HP

LAD IW - Recovery Spot
If you get expelled out of the dungeon, you wil be revived outside with 1 HP. Make sure to use the nearby recovery spot after your defeat.

Note that unlike normal battles, you won't have to worry about losing money from getting expelled from a dungeon.

Find Elevator to Advance and Exit Dungeon

To finish a dungeon, you simply need to keep finding the elevators until you arrive to where the boss enemies are.

This is also the way to leave a dungeon if you no longer want to continue; you'll need to find the elevator for the next floor, since you won't be able to exit through where you entered.

If You're Not Confident, Save Before Entering a Dungeon

If you're going to challenge a dungeon but are not confident you'll win, save before entering the dungeon. If you want to quit midway through the dungeon, you can just load your save from before entering, instead of having to search for the elevator.
