If you're looking to grind out some levels for Edward, the area around Damcyan Castle is a decent spot. Just remember you can always pop back to Damcyan Castle's 3F to heal up if you get low on HP.
Here's a quick look at some of the early foes:
| # | Monster | Lv | HP | EXP | Gil | Weakness | Steal |
| 002 | Goblin | 10 | 30 | 90 | 5 | None | Potion |

Heads up: The text also mentions the Antlion Cave, which is recommended for levels 12-15. This is a key area for getting specific items, so keep it in mind as you progress!
Getting to Antlion Cave: When you're using the Hovercraft, head northeast from Damcyan Castle. You'll notice some small rocks in the water – the Hovercraft can actually go over these! Follow them east for about 10 spaces, then head south. You should see a small opening in the mountains. That's your entrance!
