This pack of 8 Mandragoras is the best case enemy mob outside of Eternia, but the other mobs in the immediate area work well for experience and decent JP.

-FIGHT ONLY DURING THE DAY (all enemies have Fire Weakness during the day), and visit the Inn if it becomes dark. Enter and exit the town to reset the Daylight timer if its not dark yet. This strat works ONLY when fighting the Daytime mobs. Once you get 1-Turn Hero and Unscathed Hero bonuses (which you'll want to keep rolling), you'll get the most XP and JP per battle.

Recommend you have Mammon in your Nemesis village to steal Money Elixirs from. You won't be earning money using this grind method, but you'll need to maintain some form of PG to continue to buy Compounding Materials.

Setup:

Primary Job: Whatever Job you're trying to level/max out

Secondary Ability: Compounding (from Salve Maker), and plenty of Phlogiston Compound Item (Rebuild Norende Compound Shop to Level 3, then buy from Save Point guy in any town or cave). Also, recommended you equip "Attack Item Amp" (Level 4 Salve Maker ability) which lets you do more damage with items.

Recommended Armor:
Anything really. If you're lower level starting out, and not able to attack before the enemy, equip items that raise your Agility so you can attack before the enemy hits you.

Recommended Accessories:
-Gale Hairpin (Level 4 Accessory Shop - Norende): Raises your chance to get a first strike.
-Alarm Earrings (Level 7 Accessory Shop - Norende): Lowers enemies chance to get a first strike.
--These 2 are important because they will let you keep Unscathed and 1-Turn Hero bonuses rolling. As long as the enemy is unable to attack you first, you will continue to earn additional bonuses to everything you're getting normally.
-Growth Egg (Level 10 - Accessory Shop - Norende): Doubles XP and JP gain, removes PG gain.
--Mammon will be all the money you need if you need to purchase more compounding materials.
-Taunt Bangle (Level 8 - Accessory Shop - Norende): Attracts monsters to the party.
--You should be setting your encounter rate to +100%, but equipping this item will actually make enemies appear more frequently still.
