Has anyone else had a problem with a lack of encounters? I can literally walk the entire first floor of the castle and get 0 encounters. If I go to B1 there is an encounter sometimes but it is usually too powerful.

I'd like to grind on some monsters to get my levels up, but there don't seem to be any. I've tried resting but even then I only get one every 5-ish times I try.

Thanks for looking.

Go to the bell tower and you can fight bats every time you jump across.

I very rarely get encounters myself. I havent gotten beyond the second floor and the basement, but I've had a grand total of maybe 10 encounters while mapping out most of those floors. No idea how I'm supposed to level up. Still all lvl 1.

Don't worry, the encounter rate will go up further into the game. I got the impression that the encounter rate increased with the party's level, so even in the castle it increased. But that may have been just my impression.
And if you want something close to the BT encounter rate, you'll love Wiz 7.

Thanks, I'll give that a whirl.

Thanks, I hope that is true. I may just move over to Wiz 7 at this point. I imported my Wiz 6 characters and fired it up. I like that there are outside areas, but I may have to just reroll new chars as there are new skills in 7. I worked so damn hard to get good rolls in 6 though!

Considering how long battles take in this game I'd just keep on moving until you get the desired random encounters. One minute walking (which is enough for several hundred steps with a chance for getting attacked and crossing the whole area, move fast, the game is fully turn based) doesn't matter compared to 15-30 minutes battle you get afterwards.

With difficulty on "Expert" in the Game Config Window, you seem to get more encounters as well. Even moar monnnnsters and more xp grinding. Spells are less effective on "Expert" as well...
