Dragon Quest XI (Switch) - Early Game EXP Grinding on Slime Island

Описание: Actually the location is called "Insula Orientalis" because it's in the east, but it's popularly known as "Slime Island" due to the variety of Slime enemies you can find here.

This can be undertaken after your first visit to Puerto Valor as you need a ship and access to the open sea. You will be wanting skills like Metal Slash and Jade's Thunder Thrust (or even better Lightning Thrust as it misses less).

If you don't have these skills you can simply go to Rectification at a church and reassign your skills for a small fee.

You can get bigger groups than this, I've managed to kill 5 Metal Slimes which gives over 10K EXP. The problem is their tendency to escape battle quite quickly.

You are nowhere near a save point here so you will be wanting to make use of auto-save by trekking to the sea and back periodically.

Sylvando can also learn Metal Slash, just mine wasn't quite ready yet.

Better EXP farming methods open up later in the game. You can fight Metal Slimes earlier than this but this is a good way to
encounter them.

If you have the pep attack Electro Light and your levels are high enough you can get Liquid Metal Slimes which give about 10k EXP each. This will work against any mob enemy so this island isn't needed for that. Once you have that you will want to switch to the method shown in this video:
