FF3 - Gaining multiple levels from one fight - possible?

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to level my characters (currently mid 60's) and was wondering if anyone has tried fighting an enemy that summons another enemy and killing the summoned creature over and over to build experience (e.g. Blucks, which summon Kum Kums). If I continually kill the summoned creatures but not the summoner for a few hours will I gain multiple levels or will the exp beyond a single level gain be wasted?

To answer my own question - yes you can gain several levels at once.

Here's my fast leveling trick - this may have been posted before, but I just discovered it for the first time:

Go to the Crystal Tower and when you get into a fight with 2 or more Blucks keep 2 of them alive and kill only the summoned Kum Kums. If no Kum Kum is summoned in a turn, just block. I had everyone block except one attacker and when anyone's HP got below 2000 I had my Devout use his Elder Staff to Curaga him and within about 1/2 hour I accumulated ~500,000 exp and ~1,000,000 Gil (went from lvl 66 to 70).

The reason I left 2 Blucks was to increase the probability of a summoning happening each round.

If anyone has a faster way to level, please let me know. Thanks!

Do you know if the HP growth is done for each level you gain or only once per level? I think while the stats does do good for you in combat, the ultimate goal for people leveling up to that extreme is to get 9999 hp; and if the HP growth is not calculated for each level you gain like this, then it'd be quite pointless to level quickly...

I tried this levelling trick with Blucks and Klums Klums, but only amounted 150,000 exp over about half an hour. Generally, although I left 2 Blucks alive, they kept attacking me rather than summoning the other monster (useless!).

I found that the better location is Bahamuts Cave on the floating continent (East; just inside a set of mountains, need Invincible). For these you get 5,700 exp for every fight with 3 enemies in it (generally every fight) in the same time I gained approximately 200,000 exp.

i have just been leveling up in bahamut's lair because you get a lot of exp for killing weak monsters
