It would be great if you could tell us about the fastest way to grind with XP ?

[@MidnightBlackandVictoria]

If you want sick JP, go to the shore of Halcyonia at night, herd the monsters into a corner (because its easy to do on the beach) and use a fish food once its nighttime, and fight the mobs...I got 1200 in one battle and it took around 5 mins to set up. You should have a handful of fish food just from random drops at the desert...And if thats where you are, you still have a LOOOONG way to go, but no worries, because the game gets better and better, story AND gameplay wise. If you think beastmaster is broken, wait till you get ahold of the skill "Godspeed" LOL.

[@justjaredgaming]

Freelancer actually is stronger, minus weight, mp, and hp when you level up your jobs. i have a few hundred monsters captured and it still isnt even close to freelancer. for perspective, im at the 4th city so i dont give spoilers as to how many jobs and ect. Also, if you wanna break what you're doing for where you are even more, when you unlock indiscriminate rage, add rob blind, mug, magpie, and beast whisperer to your abilities. you can now attack all enemies with basic attack, have the possibility to steal from each enemy every attack, and the chance to capture all the enemies as well (:

[@MidnightBlackandVictoria]

@@justjaredgaming Later you can take that skill and apply it to any class, albiet its VERY late in the game. Its that second innate ability that makes freelancer a monster. Youll need to master a certain class and get the skill "Subjob skill 2". Then you can use your favorite main class, and still get that crazy boost freelancer gets from number of mastered jobs. Until then though, your right...Nothing holds a candle to freelancer, once you have a few jobs mastered.

[@thunderborn3231]

i broke it further; sword master passive gives you all the specialities of you sub job (BEASTMASTER) now youre a better class with beastmaster stats; and ignore people, if you catch enough beastmaster stats FAR overpower freelancer

Didn't the previous games have that? I'm also missing the option to shut off exp/jp/pg gain. The possibility is still there through accessories, but there's no reason not to just keep that in the settings.

[@guidofalconi1178]

This is one of things I cannot believe didn’t get brought back from previous games. At leas in Second you could save up to I believe 4 loadouts. So you could have your exp load out, your JP load out, your boss load out, and whatever else you wanted.

[@calvinmcneil9824]

I think the reason why they got rid of the ability to carry the Job related save data from the demo like with the first game is because of the brokenness. Although this game the demo you can only play for five hours or until a certain point which might be before getting the Beast master job

[@neroorion2759]

What I do love about this game is that you can make every class overpowered. Beast tamer is just a lot faster, because you don't need to farm for stats. But even then, what I do hate about this game is that there aren't any enemies or super bosses that do take more then two 99.999 DMG hits. Endgame you don't even need a healer or buffer.

[@Mernusify]

I think there is this one superboss with 500k HP, so that's probably the only boss able to withstand at least 2 max damage Godspeed strikes, but even then, that boss (which I believe may be the boss with the highest HP in the game? Someone fact check me on that) will still go down quickly. It's incredible how EASILY Godspeed strike can take out bosses in just 2 or 3 hits! Then just add the "Counter-savvy" ability from the Ranger class and you no longer need to worry about physical counters. Kinda game-breaking, I must say, as it trivializes most boss fights (add the beastmaster stat inflation and it becomes even MORE ridiculous!), and it sorta takes the fun out of the otherwise difficult boss fights. Hmm, maybe I should restrict myself from using GSS soon...

[@Yanninho78]

Beastmaster is broken but not for the reason you think. There's a monster called Skeleton Sellsword in Wiswald Sewers, capture a lot of those and unleash them on the enemies : their attack Flesh Flayer is based on total health, that means they will do 9999 damage on most of the bosses, which is a lot better than anything everyone else in your team will do at this point. You can actually one turn some bosses with that.

[@indumatipngtuber2790]

Interesting...

[@Amnesia1998]

The reason it does that much damage seems to be because it deals percentage based damage rather than a set amount of damage. 9,999 is the highest damage you can deal at a time though.

[@selder_7]

Always has been, always should be

[@wmbtech]

Cool tips for easier farming at that point. The final goal for your grinding setup is just one ability, from the last class you get. It's called obliterate, and it's a passive that auto-kills all monsters 20 levels below you at the start of every round, unless they're death immune. The game plays itself at that point, I used people pleasers food to chain-battle the pigs outside Savalon, and had every job mastered in about an hour. Obliterate will make all your other setups obsolete, but BM + FL can 999 cap your stats if you catch enough monsters with it's specialty 2 and FL's specialty 2.

[@lukearcher5649]

Mug-Mapie from Thief Beast Whisperer-Raw Power from Beastmaster Indiscriminate Rage from Berserker Rare Talent from Gambler This has made jp and item farming effortless I recommend mastering at least 2 people with Swordmaster, not only does it have the longest multi-hit from Fourfold Flurry but its secondary passive allows you to use both sub class passives. Which in my case was Vanguard early on you can max your attack damage with Chance of Being targetted from it with at least a 50% crit rate

[@VGHistory1]

Yeah but you have to stay Swordmaster for that and equip the same type of weapon in both hands in order to activate it. Spiritmaster passive allows the first sub-job specialty to be activated and the secret class passive allows the second sub-job specialty to be activated.

[@HornPlayer02]

These are the skills you want based on my play through. 1. Mug - Thief Class - Chance to steal upon regular attack 2. Magpie - Thief Class - Chance to steal rare item from enemy (This is the ONLY way to steal a rare item) 3. Rare Talent -Gambler - 10% chance of Rare item drop from enemies. 4. Beast Whisper - 30% chance to tame monsters upon defeat 5. Indiscriminate Rage - Attack all monsters at once. You're going to end up getting a lot of rare equipment from enemies but what you want are booster buns which permanently increase stats. Focus on the stats that DON'T increase that much during level up. In this game that is speed and critical hit Chance. You can get speed from the glowing blue undead horses north of the first town. If your speed gets to around 200 or more your turn will come around twice before the enemy's, even more so if you get to 500. There is a move called 'Godspeed Strike' that the Thief uses and it augments power based on speed. I routinely hit bosses for 5k to 9999k. AND this attack naturally has a phantom follow up attack next turn for the same amount of damage as the first attack. If I brave 4 times and hit a boss with this, I one shot them. For big battles equip the beast master as your main job and the Thief as your secondary and absolutely destroy everything. 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾

[@VGHistory1]

The Phantom job secondary ability allows the expenditure of 40mp to turn any ability that has a chance to succeed to become a 100% success rate.

@@thunderborn3231 This though, when I noticed that even late game the jp wasn't going up compared to the shit I'd take on on the beach in the prologue and only the orbs were getting better I felt disappointed that leveling jobs while farming levels felt discouraged unless you were willing to use the treat feature. If you did you were fine but if you didn't want to fight 4 battles for every monster till they ran away as you were overleveled you couldn't get the multi job xp which was needed to make job xp go up decent from combat. Though having access to two growth eggs per quest that gives them and access to giant jp orbs later does help make up for maxing all jobs quickly.

Beast Master is great early to mid game. Late game gets SUPER BROKEN though with other classes.

[@ankitsanghi]

The true JP farming method is going to the beach of Halyconia, herding all the monsters to behind the chest, waiting for night time, eating a fresh fish, and striking. If you have JP Up and JP Up and Up, you get roughly 1200 * 3 * 1.7 = 6120 JP. And herding the enemies takes about a minute.

[@Zamfyel]

Can u buy fresh fish?

[@ankitsanghi]

@@Zamfyel no you can get it from killing any aquatic monsters. It’s the item that lures aquatic monsters towards you. So just start killing some Sahagin at the beach and you’ll eventually end up with some. Then once you start farming you’re basically guaranteed to get one every time.

I just discovered this channel and immediately subscribed. I love your personality and the way you jump right into the tips and tricks without over-postulating about your gamer-ness. 😄 These videos have been very helpful for someone who has recently started playing Bravely Default 2. I just wanted to make one clarification if it hasn't been made already -- The Beastmaster passive, Creature Comforts, DOES NOT require you to hold the monsters in your inventory to work. The passive is calculated based on the number of times you successfully use the Capture ability and the stat boost persists even if you use the monsters. The description for the ability is a bit misleading and should have been reworded to prevent the slight confusion as "All stats are increased by an amount based on the number of times the player has successfully used the Capture ability."

[@HornPlayer02]

Oh, I forgot one thing. As long as you have the Thief classes Magpie ability equipped AND you have the Thief as your main class AND you have a character(s) who can perform a "Special" attack by being activated by the crystal during the story you can steal ANY item from the overworld bosses!! Go into a non boss battle and use the thief abilities in any way you want. Normally I use steal to get items and it cost no MP. Do this until the 'Special' command glows. Go towards an overworld boss and save before the battle. Use the special and see if you can steal the rare item from the boss (you'll have a 25% chance) if you get it, Great! If not, just reset until you so. Also if you equip the Thiefs ability 'Rob Blind' you can get TWO items at once. Use the special more than once as you still have a chance to steal more rare items even though it will say the enemy isn't carrying anything. You're welcome 😊

[@HornPlayer02]

Oh, and the thief has an ability called 'flee.' which allows you to run from any battle 100% of the time. Once you steal those items, FLEE 😅

If you use the abilities Mug, Indiscriminate Rage, Magpie, Rob Blind, and Beast whisperer, and equip 2 thieve’s gloves, farming becomes much more interesting. Just set any character with those skills to a class with decent speed and good attack and you will kill all enemies, steal from all of them regularly, have a 25% chAnce to get rare items, and if you steal you steal 2, AND you can capture monsters too. It’s pretty nuts.

SPOILERS. If there’s anyone new here. I 100% this game. And I’m still having fun with job combinations and B and D decks. At this point he still had 12 jobs to unlock. And 3 abilities in each job to unlock in late game. I believe you can only catch 99 of each monster so beastmaster is limited but still has insane potential. There is a job late game where doing 99,999 damage is normal. And with sub jobs you can basically do it with any character, job, or weapon class.

[@PoogieBoogie]

This person tells truths :) Thank you for you well thought out post my friend!

[@austinjohnson2936]

Freelancer and Beastmaster are the best jobs bar none. Let me explain how to obliterate any difficulty this game has. Get your party, and just start by maxing Freelancer. You get forage, body slam, and 2 jp up abilities. At the start of the game, crank up to times 4 speed and forage through every fight while Sloan kills everything for you and master freelancer. It doesn't take too long. Now switch to whatever classes you want but keep freelancer as sub. You can go all out with 2 uses of body slam with every character at the start of any monster fight. That will almost certainly kill the entire field. Crescent moon is fantastic, but it counts as an axe attack and can be reflected or countered by more things. Body slam is a regular physical attack, the only counters that affect it are physical damage counters. Now get Beastmaster and follow this video. You max it out with a bit of grinding and now you have the boss killer class. Keep the jp up abilities and beast whisperer on at all times. Continue until you get Pictomancer at the end of Chapter 2. Grind that up on everyone to get the sub job bp saver ability and equip it. Now crescent moon or body slam are just free attacks. Now finish chapter 3. You are still breezing through everything, but let's introduce the easiest grind in the game. In Savalon, go to the dungeon where you fought the beastmaster. Take the midwarp and then run to the top. It takes you to an area with a snake boss. Save and now you have your new easy grinding location. The boss is a pushover once you are level 30 or so, since your 16 body slams are more than enough to win. If you grind out and max out every job, Freelancer is stronger than Beastmaster was, at least thats the case for me when I kept Beastwhisperer equipped through the whole game.

There's a better grind spot for JP once you reach Savalon - the beach south of the city has Undine monsters roaming around. They drop the Soul Food monster treat (rare item drop). Farm them up to get some of those Soul Food items then do your best to engage them at night. Once you're able to reliably take them down quickly, it's a surefire way of mastering classes in about 20-30 minutes with the JP Up + JP Up and Up abilities equipped.

[@damienshirar8168]

I found something better being the floating eyes around that area and chaining them, very easy and they usually are grouped

[@Majinhendrix]

Dragoon has a skill that restores MP and HP to 100% after automatically healing from a status element (takes 2 turns). Using dragoon, I spam the thief skill Godspeed strike (x3 brave), and then use a Dark Mage to Poison my Dragoon. Godspeed strike gets restored along with my health after two turns. Shield bearer spams that “protect all” ability, and red mage/white mage spams protect on the shield bearer (the red mage casts the same spell a second time for free at max level, so you can stack phy/mag def. to 200% easy) I breezed through every boss after mastering thief, shield bearer, redmage, dragoon, and white mage.

Thanks for the comment! That monk ability is amazing! It's really good in taking down opponent and even a lot of bosses! I have a video on how to maximize even more damage output if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iF6lZ3-srdeXkJY

[@alphblishtarl9374]

Tbf chance for being targeted is good on mastery level Vanguard (PAtk and Crit chance increase with targeted stat), but that stat can be increased with equipment easily, especially in chapter 1 with the Well-Worn Muleta that you get from one of the mansion guards iirc. Vanguard is a super good damage dealer, but by endgame easily can cap PAtk, especially as a subjob for the final job among others (also it's preferred as a subjob due to final job in chapter 2's support ability that can lower BP cost of subjob abilities, allowing you to give allies BP at no cost). There are also some crazy things you can do with magic, but maximizing it is sadly very difficult till super late game. Once you get Arcanist, but are afraid of using its abilities due to risk of hurting your character/allies, just give everyone elemental equipment based on what you plan to use since +1/2/3 elemental resist translates to half damage/no damage/absorb damage as hp, so you can even heal off of the spells that damage you with the proper setup. Shields, armor, and accessories can all have elemental resist in them, so you can choose what works best for your party. If you find a bloody shield, it works like bravely second in that after a certain number of battles, it becomes the hero shield which grants +1 elemental resistance to all elements.

You can easily get max stats that gets boosted if you just catch mobs. The ones you catch don't matter either. I don't know if you lose stats if you use a monster or not but I do know it's based off the amount you capture and if you max it should still boost your stats because you still captured the mob even if you didn't get any added to the amount.

[@Aimlessimp05]

@Scott Scotty you should as it's based off the number captured. And more to that point when you new game plus you get to keep that number and or the monsters you captured. Plus you can keep capturing monsters after 99 like items you receive via battle but you don't get to keep them. I would suggest beating up loads of goblins or something to test this as they are easy to beat. Sadly my switch screen got damaged and I don't have a TV to test this atm.

The Phantom/Salve-Maker class combination is the most broken stuff out here fr fr. It's so busted. The ability you gain when you master Phantom allows you to have a 100% chance to inflict a status ailment if the opposition ain't immune to it. And by using Compunding from the Salve-Maker class, you can inflict status to the whole opposition squad. Meaning that you can paralyze to death almost every boss/squads in the game. And to add more madness to it, Phaltom class have Rewerding Results, giving you another turn every time you inflict a status. I literaly stunned so much bosses to death with it. I beat the Deamon in the Volcano with that broken strat at level 38

[@corhydrae3238]

Personally, I'm slightly disappointed about that. Not that there's a way to completely break the game. It's BD, that's obviously gonna be there. But I'd just like status ailments to be adequately useful all-around, because those things are fun to use when they're properly balanced. But here, they're broken with the Phantom or nigh-useless without.

If the boss is immune to all status you still can compound powerful healing item or give pb by spending money. No downside lol.

I’ve had this game since launch but never played much of it, idk why that ended up being the case but I was scrolling through my library and remembered that I had it and decided to go back and give it another go. I went ahead and started a fresh save because I don’t remember a damn thing about the story other than the guy that backstabs you early on. Hopefully I’ll stick with it to the end this time around

[@PoogieBoogie]

I hope you do! It’s a great experience if you’re into turn based customizable RPGs

[@kkbbss]

Gotta say I didn't really study the BM speciality that much as I usual hate classes like that. But after watching this I can see how broken you can become early on if you combine this stat boost with the thiefs Godspeed Strike (which is already an OP ability). Ofc as mentioned in the video then BM+Berserker for normal enemies for fast clears and BM+Thief for bosses.

[@PoogieBoogie]

BM is a really fun class and even beats out Fully legendary Freelancer class with all classes maxed! It's really fun!

[@chronictwister]

That high end boss is perfect to farm. She gives 1,400 xp, and 210 jp each win. I farmed her from lvl 20 to 38

[@PoogieBoogie]

That's great information! Thanks for strategy and contributing to the community :)

[@DipsyMum29]

I keep going back to the monks pressure point it’s insane how much damage it does. The berserker one is multi target but not nearly as powerful. After a while the enemies run so it’s easy to sneak up behind and get a extra bp and then you do 2 pressure points per character which wipes everything out. Just wasted Galahad out without him getting in a hit by using the monk skill and the bare handed brawler.

[@PoogieBoogie]

That’s awesome! I’m happy that strategy worked for you! I’m going to have to try that for another play through :) thank you for sharing your strategy with the community

This is an awesome strat. Bravely keeps delivering broken setups for the 3rd time

[@PoogieBoogie]

Agreed! I love how the game allows players to explore and exploit the game to their liking :)

[@ZhadTheRad]

Godspeed Strike is broken, especially in combination with Surpassing Power and attack buffs and physical defense debuffs. I was fighting a boss yesterday (which had like 170k hp) and I took it down in just a few minutes, just by buffing my attackers and debuffing the boss, followed by Godspeed Strike a few times. Dealt like 50k per GS (ca 25k for the direct hit, and ca 25k for the secondary hit)

[@MorganMindfulness]

Combine this with the Final Job from Chapter 2's special and you've got yourself a free win every fight

[@ZhadTheRad]

@@MorganMindfulness Yep, used that job during that fight

[@hossmusic2041]

i didn't use the lures until more than half way through (after Wiswald). started using bug lures near Savalon and fighting those ants and i was capping out jobs before the lure ended. you must do this, or you're wasting so much time.

[@culleningram7246]

If you get the items that cause multiple battles in one go ( which you can farm from the hornets) you can get even more . I was getting upwards of 200 to 350 per fight .

[@PoogieBoogie]

That's a great tip! Thank you for sharing with the community! What part of Bravely Default 2 are you on so far?

[@kgrfirdjy]

I was surprised how extremely broken the Gambler class was when I got it in Savalon. It has the ability to randomly give you 100X the EXP // GOLD // JP at the end of battle that can stack on Top of bonuses for the same stat, meaning you could get 10,000X the amount normally earned if you get two random 100X bonuses on the same thing. I went to level 85-99 by before the end of Chapter 2 in a normal game.

[@chriskim7598]

Hi can i not use beast master as main or sub and still capture the monster using the beaset whisperer? If i do capture that way do the stat boost still work even if the monster captured weren't from beast master? Thanks

[@PoogieBoogie]

Great question! You can still capture with Beastmaster as a sub Job, but the stat boosts only come in to play under a few of factors: 1) Beastmaster Mastered and set as main job 2) Unlock the ability that allows player to use Second Specialty of sub class and have Beastmaster as sub. 3) Near the end of the game you can farm an item in a portal that will give you these Beastmaster stat boosts without using Beastmaster. I have a video on this one! Feel free to watch it (Warning: slightly spoilery at the last portal) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5alpaeZpbGFsLc Let me know if this helps :)

[@incognitoburrito6417]

At the start of chapter 3 and my beast master boost take my characters stats to the 900, some maxed at 999. Spent most early game with mercy strike capture mercy strike capture on all my characters set on repeat. Ones you catch enough mobs mercy strike will always drop them to 1 hp so you just keep getting stronger.

[@thunderborn3231]

sword master gets all subjob specialities at 12, so boom subjob beastmaster and you have all those stats on a better class

[@mismismism]

Beastmaster is laughably overpowered, and there seem to be a few classes that just make it even more crazy busted later. Early game your beast can do more damage than everyone else and counter all the bosses and late game makes maxing your stats a breeze and you just pick another job to synergize. They really didn't think this one through lol.

[@blkwng]

@@mismismism I think they did. I mean, its op but in order to reach that state you need to farm for a bit to get a certain amount of monsters, apart from Luling up the class.

[@mismismism]

@@blkwng Not really, you don't need to do much more grinding than you normally would getting say, the Freelancer passives, especially if you make everyone Beastmasters and grind the job out like most people do for at least Freelancer because once you can passively catch monsters it's not grindy at all, and the amount of power some of the monsters have is ridiculous. Early on you get poison that's easier to land than BLM and does damage, monsters that can hit boss vulnerabilities for much higher damage than most jobs, the skeletons can cut the enemy's HP in half and works on most bosses so far, they can heal, buff, etc, all with no cost on top of the stat increase and strong passives, having to hibt for a few monsters doesn't balance that IMO.

[@blkwng]

@@mismismism Yeah bit you still need to use that monster once, and you lose it. If you farmed 1 mob and use it in battle, you lose that money and have to farm it again. True, you could always just sub it, and farm other classes while capturing mobs, but you still need to farm is what I mean. In the meantime, you can make a combo with swordmaster/freelancer in which you only need to lvl up to 12 each job and its already a pretty strong combo as is. You don't need extra mobs from outside of those.

[@PoogieBoogie]

It's true! They have a high chance of missing but it a great strategy! Thanks for sharing with the community :)

[@MKMonsterr]

@Scott Scotty I guess I have a little more luck than you, I got a hit more often. Definitely not a strategy to build around, but it is a nice thing to have in your pocket if you get into a battle a little underleveled. It's nice to have a couple of those on hand when your regular hits are barely chipping away at the boss's health.

[@kirika119]

The ghetto way of gaining a lot of JP is to go to the boat area, get into a battle with a fish person with spear, kill all of them but 1 (this is important), have all your people use forge and then hold a for 30-60 minutes....you can get 60-99 small job orbs which is neat lolz

Beast master plus Monk for Pressure Point is the way to go. PP ignores P Defense allowing you to kill almost anything regardless of their level.

From the beginning of the dungeon: 1) Head West 2) At the next fork, head West (it will loop around) 3) At the next fork, head North 4) At the next fork, head North 5) You'll see another path going west eventually, keep heading North (You know you're heading the right direction by seeing a Save Point and Teleportation circle) 6) North across river and follow the path East 7) South across the river 8) At the next fork, head South (Here you will see a tree to cut down [can't remember] to cross that portion of the river) 9) You'll see a tree bridge heading south, but I think you'll find your quest item going East from here. MORE STUFF!! 9) From this river tree spot if you head South over the tree (you just cut?) 10) You'll find another tree to cut to cross the river - Head East 11) This will lead you to another Tree, cut it to have an easy short cut back to the beginning.

This video and the JP farming one have been so helpful! Quick question - now that beastmaster outclasses all my other jobs by a large chunk in stats and can eventually max them out relatively quickly, is it even necessary to use other jobs as mains in the endgame?

[@PoogieBoogie]

That is a really good question! There are certain job classes and skill combinations that can do max damage to an entire enemy team with proper set-up and I personally haven't been able to do that with Beastmaster, but with the Beastmaster Spear (Spoiler Waring - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5alpaeZpbGFsLc) you can use the earned Beast Master stats with those strategies. I personally used beast master as the main job for most strategies because of the broken strats and broken stats. If the stats are built up so high, your party is almost invincible! So I would say using maxed out Beastmaster party is like an easy mode where you can't really die, but not the strongest damage dealing class :) Let me know if this helps :)
