The experience boosting items affect all party members, not just who has it equipped. Furthermore, their effect stacks, so you can build up a tremendous EXP boost! Let’s discuss how to get each one.
EXP Ring Location
You get the EXP Ring by completing the Muddy Path page in Winnie the Pooh’s book. The Muddy Path is the last page, so you’ll have to find, and clear, the previous four pages. Here are the locations of all five pages:
EXP Earring Location
Synthesizing an EXP Earring with the Moogles requires the proper materials:
Fury Stone x1 from Gigas Shadows Power Stone x1 from Sniperwilds Mythril Stone x1 from Pot Scorpion Serenity Power x1 Pink Agaricus Dark Matter x3
Four of the seven items you’ll need drop from unique heartless that appear in specific areas in specific worlds. Here is a table that tells you what and where: Dark Matter is the last ingredient, and can be found in various chests, as well as eventually able to be crafted with the Moogles.
EXP Bracelet Location
The EXP Bracelet provides a 30% boost to experience earned. It only makes sense that this kind of boost requires items obtainable only in the endgame.
Energy Stone x1 from Stealth Soldiers Dazzling Stone x1 from Jet Balloons Stormy Stone x1 from Neoshadows Orichalcum x 8 Dark Matter x 3
Only three of these items come from unique heartless, but they’re the trickiest ones out there. Let’s take a look: Orichalcum can be found in various chests and eventually can be purchased from the item shop in Traverse Town. Dark Matter is the last ingredient, and can be found in various chests, as well as eventually able to be crafted with the Moogles.
EXP Necklace Location
Earning the EXP Necklace (and its 30% boost) requires defeating the game’s ultimate challenge: the Unknown. After visiting the End of the World, a mysterious portal will appear in the Castle Chapel in Hollow Bastion. Entering this portal will pit you against a mysterious (but also awfully familiar) cloaked person. This is by far the toughest fight in the game and requires a high level, a strong stock of items, and lots of practice.
Fill Sora’s inventory with Elixirs and Megalixirs Equip him with the longest keyblade you have, preferably something like the Ultima Weapon or Diamond Dust One more good idea is to remove any combo-extending abilities
The last hit in Sora’s combo is where the real damage is – and being able to reach it quickly not only increases your overall DPS, but is a safer approach overall. Defeating the Unknown takes a lot of practice. He has three different phases and each one has a different set of attacks. Once you finally bring them down though, you’ll earn the EXP Necklace (and the last Ansem’s Report).
