Frequently asked

How are training spots ranked?

By EXP per HP point of the monster, using the synced wiki stats. It is a clean proxy for EXP per hit; it does not account for your accuracy, mobbing skills or how crowded the map is.

Should I train on monsters above my level?

A few levels above is fine if you can hit them; much further and misses eat the gain. The band pages list monsters from three levels below to three above the band edges for that reason.

Why is a monster with great EXP per HP not the best spot?

Spawn count, map layout and competition matter as much as the ratio. Check the maps linked under each monster for how many spawn and how the platforms are laid out.
