Grinding for levels is an important gameplay aspect of the Bravely Default series. In Bravely Default 2 there are many tools that can make grinding faster and easier, even more so than previous entries. The Growth Egg is one of those tools that doubles the amount of EXP and JP you earn.
In previous games, the effects of the Growth Egg spread evenly throughout the party when a character equipped it. In BD2, there are four separate Growth Eggs that each character must equip to reap the benefits.
How to Get Growth Eggs in Bravely Default 2
Bravely Default 2 Growth Eggs are earned through side quests. Below are the locations for each, including the quests you need to complete to acquire them.
Chapter 6: Mag Mell and “The Collector” Quest
In Chapter 6, go to Mag Mell. You should see a fairy on the bridge with a blue cloud above her head, signifying a quest. She will give you the quest “The Collector,” where you will need to collect 20 Oberon Gems.
You might already have a few, but there's a quick way to get more.
How to Get Oberon Gems from Leannan Sith
Travel to Halcyonia and go north of the area. You'll find a stationary monster named Leannan Sith (location shown below), which often drops Oberon Gems one at a time when defeated. At this point in the game, you should be able to take on this rare monster with no problem.
You can also steal two Oberon Gems there with your thief job stealing abilities, but that seems like a one-time thing. I was able to steal two, but never more, no matter how many times I faced it.
Leannan Sith respawns each time you leave the area and return. Fortunately, there is an area you can travel between that is close to it.
After getting 20 Oberon Gems, return to the Mag Mell Fairy and she will reward you with two Grow Eggs.
Chapter 6: Martha and the “Doctor's Orders” Quest
Go to the Snake Cave near the Rimedhal area. In the deepest part of the cave, talk to Martha to receive the “Doctor's Orders” quest. You will need to find Calm Grass to help Gwylim heal his wings.
Follow the quest marker and it should take you to the Frozen Forest. Keep going, and it should take you all the way to the end, where you'll have to fight a boss named Xolotl.
Xolotl is vulnerable to many weapons and elements, namely:
Use them to maximize the amount of damage you deal. The boss also takes half damage from water and lightning moves, and it absorbs dark elemental attacks. So avoid using them.
After defeating it, you will find your Calmagrass. Return to Martha in the Snake Cave and she will give you the two remaining Grow Eggs.
And that's how you get all four Bravely Default 2 Growth Eggs. Don't forget to equip the Growth Eggs for each of your characters. Combine them with the tactics in our JP farming guide, and you'll earn even more JP than before!
