The is a story-free spoiler guide for farmable items and exp. This is not completed as this goes up to the Grotto in Chapter 1. Eventually there will be more added to it.
Introduction
I am making this guide in the hope that it benefits others who are stuck trying to find a specific item. Optionally I got bored enough in my free time (not with the game) to decide to analyze and identify rough estimations (with regards to HP of the mobs/creatures/beasts). I have taken painstaking analysis with regards to the item drops from them and the amount of experience they provide. I have also noticed some RNG difference between certain battle encounters that yielded different creature HP bar points where they become slaughtered (especially in the case of the Earth Turtle where I was able to kill it with 290 HP worth of damage and others with 300 HP worth). I would keep this in mind when using my numbers for the HP of the creatures.
Chapter 1
There are 4 major locations for Chapter 1 that you can go to to farm items and exp. Those are: Woods, Road, Fields, Grotto. Each one increases in difficulty so it is expected to farm a little bit to gain levels, experience, items, and JP (for skills). The below sections indicate what creature appears in what area and what to expect from that area.
Woods
The Woods is the most basic area that you are able to go into, and highly recommended to explore first. You will find the below items, at random and in random quantities, in the Woods.

It is also highly suggested to explore this area before fields as this is only one of the 2 areas in Chapter 1 that you can acquire Stingers.
