Faylinn’s Quest – EXP + Item Guide

This is a spoiler-free guide to farmable items and experience. This isn’t finished because it goes up to the Grotto in Chapter 1. More will be added to it in the future.

Introduction

I’m writing this guide in the hope that it will help others who are struggling to find a specific item. Optionally, I became bored enough in my spare time (not with the game) to analyze and identify rough estimates (for the HP of the mobs/creatures/beasts). I’ve done extensive research on the items they drop and the amount of experience they provide. I’ve also noticed some RNG differences in certain battle encounters that resulted in different creature HP bar points where they were slaughtered (especially in the case of the Earth Turtle where I was able to kill it with 290 HP worth of damage and others with 300 HP worth). This is something I’d keep in mind when calculating the HP of the creatures.

Chapter 1

There are four major locations in Chapter 1 where you can farm items and gain experience. They are as follows: Woods, Road, Fields, and Grotto. Each one becomes more difficult as it progresses, so it is expected to farm a little to gain levels, experience, items, and JP (for skills). The sections below describe which creatures appear in which areas and what to expect from those areas.

Woods

The Woods is the most basic area you can explore, and it is highly recommended that you do so first. The items listed below can be found in the Woods at random and in random quantities.

• Base Stone
• Base Wood
• Empty Container
• Healing Thyme
• Mold
• Shell

In addition to the items listed above, you will almost certainly encounter enemies. The enemies listed below will be found here.

• Catermoth
  • HP: 110
  • Drops: Mold | Monster Fluid
  • Exp: 40
• Dragonfly
  • HP: 60
  • Drops: Shell | Stinger
  • Exp: 25
• Grasshopper
  • HP: 80
  • Drops: Shell
  • Exp: 45

Road

If you choose to follow quests, the next area you will be asked to explore is The Road. It is also strongly advised to explore this area before fields because it is only one of two areas in Chapter 1 where you can obtain Stingers. The Road contains the following items, which appear at random and in random quantities.

• Base Leather
• Base Stone
• Base Wood
• Decorative Flower
• Pickaxe

In addition to the items listed above, you will almost certainly encounter enemies. The enemies listed below will be found here.

  • HP: 200
  • Drops: Poison | Stinger
  • Exp: 110
• Dragonfly
  • HP: 60
