Ok, first time posting, so I don't know if this one has been asked so far.

Where is the best place to gain magic experience in the WOR?

Which common monsters (excluding bosses) give the most?

Maranda Desert I'd say. They have Hoovers that give 5 a pop, and Cactrots which drop 10.

You can also get lots of magic experience in the fanatics tower and Kefka's tower (4-10 per battle).

I always use the Fanatics Tower. This is because I don't like gaining levels while I have an esper equipped that gives 0 bonuses...

Fanatic's Tower. Just make sure you already have at least a few good spells, and you're good to go. On a side note, don't even try that unless you have Osmose and/or Reflect, as about half the enemies have auto reflect, and some can actually be killed by syphoning away all their MP!

of course you can always use vanish+X-zone in the fanatics tower (quick if you got it)

procastinate now, dont put it off

Id Recommend Cactro desert because you dont need to go up a long tower (especally without moogle charm) and having to use wall rings AND have decent magic. All you need for Cactro desert is Doom or X-Zone to kill those annoying Hoovers and cSniper sight to take down Cactrots with ease

True, but you don't need to climb the whole tower. Just fight battles on the second floor where the enemies are weak, but still give great Magic Points.

Definatly Cactuar Desert, not only do Cactuars give lots of magic experience but also drop 10,000 gil. Hoovers, while more common, still give 5 magic experience, alot of gil and alot of EXP so it is a great place to go.

A moogle's advice: Go to Maranda desert, they're only two possibilties, one is a Cactrot, it gives 10 AP and 10000 GP...and Hoover, who gives you 5 AP, 10000 GP, and around 2000 EXP...if you got 4 characters in your party....if the problem is getting EXP, don't mind that much...a Level 99 character do around 8000-9999 Dmg everytime...and they have around 9200-9999 Hp and 900-999 MP, but if you want to improve their status so badly, just before leveling up, remove the esper you got, and put some other like Bismark ( Vigor +2) or Zoneseek (Mg +2), and there should be no problem. For me is good to increase their HP, MP and speed ( around 45 only...) a little, for example my Celes got around 66 vigor and Edgar got around 42, and both of them take 9999 dmg with a good weapon, like Excalibur...no much difference. For killing Cactrot, you can use Sniper Sight relic like Retribution said...or just do a Pummel, a Drill, throw a shuriken, sketch him ( Blow fish,..Mind Sting if you have bad luck)...careful with Hoover: if you hit him, he can send you two Sand Storm, (around 1000 dmg each one), and also come with an special attack ( I don't remember the name, but is about 4000 dmg!)..be careful, a Vanish/doom will kill him for sure..so go with this if you have low level...other tip: go with Relm equipped with a Cat Hood and you get 20000 GP for every fight

I think the best place is the forest just off of the veldt. There are dinosour's ther. They are really strong and some give you ribbins.

Hey, this is a good place for gaining EXP only!, and they don't give ribbons...sometimes a Tyrano drops an Imp halberd, and the Bracosaur drops an Economizer...you can steal a ribbon from Bracosaur, though.., but this a place good for gaining EXP only...If I remember well, they don't even give you AP or GP.

Actually, fighting there, you can gain anywhere from 3 to 10 Magic Points per battle, along with the awesome exp.

Yes, although Brachosaur appaears rarely so the dino forest can be considered a secondary MP area, but it is the best EXP area in the game

The best place to get the magic exp is the magic tower along the serpent trench. its the place where you only use magic. the upper levels give you the most.
