Additional Experience Boosts
When grinding mobs in the open world, consider using Guild Battle Standards for extra experience. These banners boost XP from defeating mobs but require the player who spawns them to remain nearby. You can acquire these banners from any Guild Vendor in capital cities, provided your guild has unlocked them.
