Where to Farm Metal Slime in Dragon Quest XI. Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is a JRPG through and through, right down to portions of the game that require a healthy dose of grinding. Dragon Quest XI S Casino Guide: how to get rich fast - or go broke by Chao Min Wu on 27 September, 2019 A common reoccurring mini-game in the Dragon Quest series is the Casino.
When you reach the post-game in Dragon Quest 11, you’ll need to grind for levels. It’s practically a requirement. To make the long slog a whole lot faster, you can try farming Metal Slimes. These rare creatures might seem impossibly rare — and when they do show-up, they just run away.
Here’s the thing; it’s totally possible to farm Metal Slimes, and you’ll easily earn 50,000+ XP in a single fight. That’s about 5 Levels from a single fight. If you’ve hit Level 70+, that number jumps even higher. You can earn up to 8 Levels from a single fight.
This method is truly insane. If you prepare, it’s possible to pull off. There’s a lot of requirements, though. First, you’ll need to rebuild Cobblestone or collect a ton of tokens from the Octagonia casino. That these locations, you can purchase Pep Pop or Pep Pip — items that instantly give your characters Peps. I recommend Pep Pop, as it gives Pep to your entire team. It costs a hefty 200,000 coins, but the cost is worth it.

To earn huge amounts of XP in the end-game, you’ll need to unlock two specific Pep powers. You’ll also need Pep items (Pep Pop or Pep Pip) — this method takes a lot of preparation, but can instantly earn your entire party 5-8 Levels from a single battle.
If you have those five Pep Powers, items, and abilities, you’ll be able to pull this ability off. You’ll only have all of these abilities very late in the game, so this is only useful for grinding in Part 3. Now, let’s get into the exact steps you need to take to pull this off.
Many, many things can go wrong in this method. First, enemies can flee while you’re trying to fight them. Second, Electro Light can fail and summon standard tough enemies instead of Metal Slimes. If this happens, immediately quit and reload your game. Third, Metal Slimes can retreat before you kill them. If that happens, quit and reload. Dirge of Dundrasil can fail, too — again, quit and reload.
If everything works out, you should manage to defeat the Metal Slimes. Critical Claim (with Divide added) will instakill standard Metal Slimes. The King Metal Slimes can survive one hit, so either Divide or lower its defenses.
If you can pull this off, you’ll earn 5-8 Levels from a single battle. It’s easily the best, fastest way to earn XP in the post-game, and you deserve it to yourself to give this method a try. It feels like cheating.
