*** Once you gain the power of flight, you can reach the small plateau on the west edge of the desert where the Dragon's Graveyard lies. Liquid Metal Slimes appear extremely frequently up here and are relatively easy to kill with Lightning Thrust on the Hero, Executioner on Yangus and (in the 3DS version) Morrie's POWER Pummel, earning you over 10,000 XP a pop.

* ''VideoGame/UltimaVII'' has the cave with continually respawning giant bees; you come here as part of the story, but there's nothing stopping you going there at any time and killing them repeatedly for easy experience. Just be sure to keep your team in Berserk mode so they don't run away and lose important inventory items (and preferably carrying as little as possible for when you inevitably need to resurrect them). Marking one of the Virtue Stones so you can quickly Recall back here to retrieve dead allies/resume after dying is a good idea too.
* ''VideoGame/UltimaVIIPartII'' also has continually respawning trolls in a small house outside of Monitor, which are easy to kill and drop handfuls of gems you can convert to cash at the Sleeping Bull.

** The Silver Seed addon has a few as well. If you employ a little trickery to take your entire party through the maze (ask them to leave, edge up to the entrance, quickly pause and talk to them again to bring them back into your party), they'll all gain 1000 experience for completing it instead of just the Avatar. You can also repeatedly solve Stumpy's riddles for free XP, or grind the constantly respawning arachnians in Aram-Dol's lair.

** In ''Mega Man X Di[=VE=]'', you can replay conquered levels and make purchases. Just before you reach the 1st boss Maoh the Giant, you should have enough money to buy a [[PurpleIsPowerful purple-tier]] weapon like the [[GatlingGood Gatling Gun]]. Upgrade it and easily kill Maoh. Maoh and most bosses will drop chips of themselves which augment your weapons, by replaying Maoh's level you can fully upgrade the Maoh chip and after maxing it out, any further Maoh chips you get can be sole for 50 Zenny each. So you can then save up and buy a gold-tier weapon and continue to gain levels. With enough experience, you can unlock the Events such as the Zenny event where lowest tier will net you 60,000 Zenny if you earn an S rating.

* ''VideoGame/PokemonUranium''
** In the first Pokemon Center you encounter, there's a trainer who will rematch you as many times as you want. His Pokemon are very weak, but healing after each battle is only a few steps away.
** Your rival, Theo, will join you several times to double-battle your way through an area, and will fully heal all your Pokemon after each battle, making it easy to continue grinding for as long as you want.
** Theo will also hang around near the Labyrinth for infinite rematches, until you advance the plot. He's strong, but predictable; with a good counter for each of his Pokemon, you can advance levels quite quickly.
** After completing the optional Ninja Reunion side-quest, you can have as many rematches as you want against six different ninja, each using 5 copies of a single Pokemon species (one for each type of Effort Value), or directly train Effort Values for each stat for free. This is especially helpful because since they only use one species each, it's very easy to play ElementalRockPaperScissors and quickly defeat them all over and over again until you've run out of PP. Training up to level 100 becomes quite feasible.

* In ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles4'' Skirmish #8 can easily be finished in under 2 minutes and grants 54,000 XP and just over 100,000 Ducats per run. All you need is a Scout and a Shocktrooper - just put up an All Units Defend order, have the Scout command the Shocktrooper to follow them, and rush as close as you can to the enemy's camp. Then just have the Shocktrooper use their turn to rush the base, take out the lone Scout guarding it, and capture it for the win.

* You're pretty much actively encouraged to use each My Sanctuary in ''VideoGame/{{EarthBound}}'' once you beat its boss in this fashion -- all the [[PreexistingEncounters enemies visible on the map]] run away from you, regardless of their comparative strength to yours, making it very easy to get surprise attacks (and thus easier victories) on them all, plus you can get healed for free.

In {{RPG}}s and games with RPGElements, there are often locations that are prime for quickly gathering experience (and, sometimes, [[MoneyGrinding other]] [[ItemFarming resources]] as well). This can be due to a number of factors:

** In ''VideoGame/SoulHackers2'' it's a fairly easy ordeal to eat a meal that gives an experience boost when defeating higher-level enemies, then venture through dungeons searching for Risky foes (black in color as opposed to normal enemies' red); these enemies are well above your level when you find them and can easily wipe your party if you're not prepared, but if you win a fight you'll gain enough XP to earn at least one level on all your characters just about every time. If they're proving difficult you can also adjust the difficulty to "Easy" and continue as many times as you want without penalty.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel IV'' has the Sleipnirs, especially the level 3 variants (although they're only unlocked in the final chapter), found in Act 3 [[spoiler:right when the players get the Courageous II and have explored the Luna Sanctuary.]] Players can just have a character (usually [[TheHero Rean]] as the [[HumongousMecha Divine Knight]] fights are mostly based on his stats) equipped with the "Kaleido" Master Quartz to boost the character's EXP gains and gain lots of sepith to convert into money as their primary MQ, and the "Pandora" MQ to increase art damage for their seconary. Equip said character with as many cast reduction and speed quartz and nuke the field with water arts since the robots are weak to water. As an added bonus, the other characters will also slowly level up as well, even those on reserve, including their link levels. After using up all the EP and BP the players have, players can just use the bathroom just within a few feet of where the training room is to refill their CP, EP, and BP. As an added bonus, players can then use the excess money earned to boost up the stats of whichever character the player wants by exchanging all of the money as tokens to the casino and then buying whatever stat boosts or items the player wants from the casino.

* In 10tons's ''Tesla vs. Lovecraft'', of all things the "peninsula" is the final level. It's the only level where there's infinite respawning enemies and a large number of them will be [[DemonicSpiders Spawn of Dagon]] which give a good amount of experience. So long as you don't activate the Time Scopes and can survive the initial rush, you can keep killing servitors and just grow more powerful until you finally decide to deal with Lovecraft.

** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVII'' has a forest area north of Krage. While there you fight nothing but slimes of all kinds, including Metal Slimes, Metal King Slimes, Metal Babbles, and Gold Slimes. Best place in the game for money and experience. Even better is the fact every fight, even those against normal slimes, gives you Job Points no matter your level. No better place to max out everything you want in the game.

** The Metal Menagerie in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestMonsters: Joker''. As you can guess by the MeaningfulName, it's populated solely by [[MetalSlime Metal Slimes]]. As a way to limit how much this can be abused, though, it can only be visited after performing a task, and then for only 150 seconds at a time.
