Dragon Quest IX Guide Best Normal Leveling Place
This only can be done after you get ability to fly over the world map. The location is north of angel falls village.
In this place you can find metal slime family (metal slime, metal medley, liquid metal slime). There is no metal king slime though 
.
It seems rarity of metal slime in this area determined by your party average levels (CMIIW), also metal enemies tends to run away if you too high leveled. So I recommend you to use this place only to level up your characters from Level 1- 38. After that I recommend you to go to Tower of Nod because the mosnters in tower of nod usually give about 2000-4000 exp point per battle and there is metal king slime there. After you reach level 45 or above, you should search for highest level grotto you can handle.
You can level up your party from level 1-24 in about 30 minutes (my longest time) and if you are lucky maybe you can reach it more quickly (my quickest time is 10 minutes from level 1-24, it is because I met with bunch of liquid metal slime). To reach level 24 you need about 40.000-50.000 experience so it is so easy because one liquid metal slime worth 40.000 exp so if you manage to kill 2-3 of it, you do the math. Usually there are 3 liquid metal slimes in one battle, focus on metal enemies and don’t kill other enemies (king slime, healslime,etc) because if you kill those monsters liquid metal slimes probably run away from you.
In my experience, this place is the best place to find metal enemies, but if you think you see more liquid metal slimes in bowhole then just level up in bowhole 
. My suggestion is to train each job up to level 24 to get all important abilities. See here for the tips.
Hope this helps you. Thank you for using my guide.

I’m stuck at Gittingham Place what should I do
Get a priest dude. You’re playing a rpg game,you’ll need a healer.
actually, I figured out that a high-leveled Fisticuff skill on 1 metal slime can almost take it out.
If you, as a Mage, get a boost in Natural Magical Might from Spellcraft and you change your vacation into Sage, do you still get the boost from Spellcraft?
Yes. All skills you get in one Vocation transfer to all other Vocations thereafter. The only thing is is that if you leveled up a weapon in one Vocation, but didn’t get it to 100, and the new Vocation can’t use that weapon, you end up having no real damage to dish out until you either get another weapon tree maxed or max the one on the other Vocation before switching.
The specialty skill tree that is unique for each different Vocation is kind of different. It’s true that no two Vocations have the same specialty, but that’s where it end in comparison to weapon skill trees. The specialty trees give abilities that can be used by any Vocation, and their stat buffs are also transferred to any other Vocation. Oh, and the stat buffs from your weapon trees only count when you have that kind of weapon equipped. This is why it’s usually the best idea to level up a weapon skill tree to 100 before anything else. I hope this helps.
I’m at Batseurg and I wanna know if I can beat the boss.
Minstrel, lvl 35
Ranger, lvl 28
Priest, lvl 31

Maybe get your team all around lvl 32, But If you take it on now you Might beat it.
not true i beat her usin around 28 guys and a lvl 19 ranger
is this party good enough to beat king godwyn mynstril,sword
martial artist,claws(low defence but very agile and good attack)
warrior,sword(good defence medium attack and low agilty)
mage,wand still training because i replaced it with fisticuffs martial artist so anyways could i just survive it?
u should probably have warrior and gladiator since mage has low hp.
How do u level up fast in the vary beginning of the game
You go to Quaruntomb(sp?) (northwest of Coffinwell, IIRC) and fight the random Metal Slimes that spawn there until you’re about level 20-23. Then you go to Bad Cave (north of Bloomingdale) and fight Metal Medleys until around 33-35/36. Then you can just fight the important battles until you get to Wormwood Creek, at which point you should go directly west and follow the road to The Bowhole. There, you should fight Liquid Metal Slimes in the one special place that’s easiest to fight them. (Look that up on YouTube; there are many, many videos of it. Lol) Post-game, however, you’re better off leveling at the Metal Slime Hill thing northeast of Angel Falls (requires the ability to fly around, manually, in the Starflight Express, which you’ll be able to do immediately after finishing the final battle and watching the scenes (IIRC)). After a while there, you can either go fight high-leveled Grottoes (namely, the ones with King Metal Slimes and, much later, Platinum King Jewels (requires regressing in one Vocation per character at least 10 times, IIRC)) or go to the Tower of Nod.
I hope this answers your question quite thoroughly. Good luck! ^-^
hey so where do u find the metal things to level up so fast like ive seen then but not on occasion. and also wat r u talkin bout grottos r those things u get after u beat he game?
No, noob. You can get your first grotto ingame after completing the quest for the guy on the stairs outside of Zere Rock.
There’s no need to call people names, bro. Just say what’s important and leave the nasty bit out of it. Thanks.
what is the best place to train a new character? My 3 party members are Lv40-60 and I have a Priest i want to level for Omniheal, Im on the part where i have to kill Corvus is 2nd Form
if you are about corvus, try doing the bowhole or badcave
i didn’t know what a grotto was till i beat the game
where is the best place to train for levels 82 81 53 and 50 and i finish the game
high level grotto, you should have obtained some high level map on your current level
A gladiator helps for leveling up, as they are the strongest vocation possable. but if you are hunting Metal-slimes, i would suggest a warrior, as they’re metal slash does most damage.
Technically, if you trained your Gladiator’s Axe Skill Tree pretty high, Axes of Evil will devastate pretty much every metal slime mob in the game–even Metal King Slimes and Platinum King Jewels! Since all metal slimes/jewels have low health but huge defense, Axes of Evil–if it lands to get the critical hit–will do way more damage to kill them than the meager 1-2 damage you’d be doing with Metal Slash with whatever crappy sword you have. (Sorry, I’m not a believer in Swords unless you have the Armamentalist’s Light Fource, the Ueber Falcon Blade, and either Metal Slash or (even better) Falcon Slash (4 hits with the Ueber Falcon Blade).
how do you learn to fly?
finish the game first and then read post game section
. Thanks for using my guide.
CANT ANY1 TELL ME WHERE I CAN LVL NEAR BLOOMING DALE? … im a lvl 20 warrior with a lvl 19 priest and lvl 19 minstrel, and its KILLING me to have to bore myself silly with the C***** monsters in fighting at the moment.
Thank you for listening.
There is a cave called “The Bad Cave” that is north of Bloomingdale. On the last 2 floors of the cave, There are Metal Medlies in there that gives you 12288 exp points in total.
First of all, your levels suck. How the hell did you even reach this part of the game? And just level in the Bad Cave.
Haven’t u guys ever heard of platinum king jewels?they give you 240000 xp if u guys don’t know where they are just ask
They’re in high level grottos (CMIIW). it’s random so I think you can’t tell which dungeon they will appear
Well if it has the big metal people then it has them
yup, but to get big metal people phrase is random, right?If you have any tips to get it please share it here
. thank you
U can tell by when ur on the top floor u fight octagoon,freaky tiki,alarmour,and darkonium slime
I fight LMS lots and they hardly run and i’m LVL 60 but my sage is LVL 26 so they help alot. Grotto bosses are good aswell also if you’ve finished the game so is Corvus.
im having trouble with three things leveling up strategies and a quest well its hard to level up my guys because they mostly got like 75000 exp to gain to move on and every fight im in give me 1000 each and my strategy in battle is messed up i need to find ways to win without using alot of mp wat should i do
im trying to do the patty quest but i cant find a monk like place anywhere
Well monk-like place would most likely be the Alltrades Abbey, and they key is to use Metal Slash, as in my experience,the stronger attacks don’t work as well.
batsuerg is where you need to go but it has to be night so you can meet pheobe to do the quest then sail to the coast next to the Gittish Empire and then go to the beautifully crafted gravestone,
how do I get there, I can already use zoom but i do not know how to get there
you can’t get there by zoom. You must ability to fly (post game)
dont worry after u beat the game u gain ability to freely use the train so u can only then to get to slime mountain
Hey for all you guys who cant fly, go to port llaffan and talk to jona (after you beat the game only) your guide rocks noobgodlike!
You’re welcome
. Play dragon quest monster joker 2 guys 
I also make the guido for that game 
The best way I found to level was killing liquid metal slimes. I haven’t completed the story, but my charactes are near level 50. I use falcon blade+metal slash, with an egg on attempt. Doing that, only 2 liquid metal slimes have ever gotten away. Also, does anyone know where the hidden island is? I read there was on, but spent 3 hours in the SW corner of the map to get nothing. Thanks if anyone can help.
Hidden island? I don’t know any info about them, if there is any hidden island it maybe part of wi-fi quest (CMIIW). Sorry can’t help much
Hidden island? Never heard of it.
How can you get the White Knight shield if you didn’t get it in the Realm of the Almighty for the flying quest
you can alchemize it. See armor alchemy for further instruction
You can enter the Realm of the Almighty during the post game after you gain the ability to fly
No no no, he needs the shield to get the ability to fly. The shield is Sold at the new Armor Shop in stornway. Go in there and there is a guy and a girl behind the counter. The girl will sell you one for around 30k gold. If you need to farm gold, go to gleeba and kill gold golems, 505g a pop and its fairly quick if ur higher leveld.
ooohs , whooops. sorry for any inconviences
Actually, you can buy a light shield in Bloomingdale, Alchemize it for a white shield, then alchemize fir a White knight’s shield. I recommend using this guide. Very helpful.
I found a quick way to lvl my other jobs. Once you have the ranger unlocked, have one person learn vanish. Go to the bad cave above the town with the rich girl’s doll. Once you get into the big room, medal medleys spawn all over the place. I can get my full party from lvl 1-24 in barely any time at all. Just be sure to use vanish after each battle or you may be caught by a big group of monsters.
Once you’ve done the main line quests and onto the gorfortress place (after gaining the dragon armour) i found a great way to level your main char in all vocations without the slimes.
At this time i had 100 sword skill from trying out all the vocations, is not 100% great but will work after that.
Leave your party in stornway, and go out alone, take a new vocation, equip the dragon armour and go out levelling in areas where the armour lets you take a beating but you can still deal enough damage to win. Get to about 10-13 here, then go to the summit of mount magnaroo, the place you meet gragnarl, and go down a level or two, start on the green dragons, these give 2.2k exp a go and are normally seen alone, easily taken with 1-3 dragon slashes, at aroung lvl 18-20 move onto the mandrakes (purples), kill them off one at a time allowing them to call for back up, i spent a good 15-20 mins on this and gained 50k exp+ in one fight, about what you’d get and time spent on finding and then killing a metal slime imo. Do this to w.e lvl you like then rinse and repeat, can easily use the vocation guide on here to get a good set up.
From here i beat corvus and the rest first shots using a tank healer mage and warrior set up, easy mode at lvl 34 average xD main 35 pala tank took all the damage, priest healed, mage acc. and sap, warr (with psyche up) got tention to 100 and gigigashed x 3 = teh win.
Sorry for the bad spellings and the lengthyness and hope it helps.
note: only really works for main char as the armour seriously helps here which cant be equiped on the party members
http://guide4gamers.com/dragon-quest-ix-guide-vocation-skill-tree
the vocation guide
also just to clarify before anyone askes, the mandrakes call back up like slimes, not as often but they do do it
a good place to level pre mount magnaroo is between dourbridge and sour …, the leafy larikins, they also do back up, do low dmg, and easily killed
How to you get the flying spell? Whats it called?
after completing the game talk to jona @ port laffan she will give you a quest called follow that fish, after completing the quest eat the fygg you are given and then you will get a whistle which summons the starflight express which you can use to fly now YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY ^-^
thx
………. but i need to level up NOW, but its okay 
They keep running away and the cureslimes take out my party members!!
So annoying.
… Aren’t Cureslimes supposed to be I dont know… WEAK?
No, they are rather strong if you are weak character (priest, mage or sage for example). They deal about 40-60 dmg for weak char.
One trick I found for hunting down metal slimes was to use a character with the Ranger “Vanish” skill on the world map. This makes the slimes unable to see you, and they will therefore not run away.
my guys are in the high 20s an d low 3 but i cant deafet hootingham gore and the bad harmours
oops meant low 30s
You should have everyone around level 35, and having a paladin with forbearance(takes hits for whole party) and magic mirror(Deflects magic spells) helps make the fight easier. that way, you just buff your pally and use heal every turn. hope that helps
Just Ignore Healing And Only Heal Every 3 Rounds It Reallys Quite Nice Because you Can Slip In And with a Bit Of Luck BAM! hes Defeated But this only works If you Got A Padalin or Gladiator With you…Sometimes
What the hell. He was so EASY.
Can you tell me how to get to the place with the metal slime, because I am stuck at the battle with king godwyn and need some leveling up
You can’t go there until you get ability to fly on the world map. You must finish the game once before you can access this place. So I recommend to Leveling in gittingham place.
any tips on making them not run away? they run away from my lvl 1 gladiator that i started to train
what about your other party members? If you gladiator level 1 but the others are at level 40, they will run away. But from my experience they rarely run away when i fight them with party level 10-20, that’s why I only recommend you to level up only from 1-24.
You can also use war cry(prevent them to run away) or critical skill (to get quick kill)
i fight only with my level 1…could it be possible that they run away because he is a lvl 44 paladin ( i am training him on other vocations to boost my paladins hp/defence/resistance)……1 more question can you put away you MainCharacter so that i can train a different class?? because when i click “drop off” it doesnt show my main character name
Yup that’s explain it I think. I only fight them at level 1-24 (everyone) they rarely run away. I think you can’t put your main character.CMIIW
ahhhh
ok thanks…and its realy to bad you cant put away main character (mines paladin) because then its much harder to lvl up everyone and make then awsome
Then just put other characters and level up your main character (solo challenge)
You could always go into a couple battles, and take a beating, use H-Pathy to give your main characters health to said other characters, and kill said character. After the battle where the character is killed, it essencially gives xp solely to the one character.
nice tips
They will only run when your MC or the person leading the party is at a higher level.
