>If you start at dawn: Less EXP will be required to level up UNTIL you reach lvl 40. After lvl 40, more EXP will be required to level up than usual.

>If you start at midday: Normal amount of EXP is required to level up all the way from lvl 1 to lvl 100. This is the most balanced option.

>If you start at dusk: More EXP is required to level up UNTIL you reach lvl 40. After lvl 40, less EXP will required to level up than usual.

If you're looking for more Strength, low Defense and medium Item stock; then go for the Sword and leave the Shield to start with 3 AP with less Defense, or leave the Staff to start with 1 AP with more Defense.

If you want more Defense, medium strength and high Item stock; go for the Shield and leave the Sword for lower strength but with 3 AP, or leave the Staff for more strength but 1 AP.

If you want more MP towards the beginning and ending of the game but low item stock, choose the Staff. If you leave the sword, you'll have a very balanced status, but if you leave the shield, you'll start out with low defense.

•Plant Sora directly in-front of wall where Pooh is transported over via the 'blue butterfly flowers' in the mini-game
•Regular-jump up (as shared abilities are deactivated while at most though not all of 100 Acre Wood, Muddy Path included) with the 'O' button;
•and at your PEAK HEIGHT, swing your Keyblade with the 'X' button
..and Sora should then land barely upon the edge of the ground up there, without even a 'landing' noise produced.

Furthermore, this *glitch* is mucho fun to use for exploring the far corners of Muddy Path when not being timed, 'feeling it out' so-to-speak. Plus, this maneuver is, with a little bit of practice, actually a few seconds faster to reach Pooh than is the traditional method of jumping into the air-current spurting from the well!!!

NOTE: This technique does not work with the taller wall at the other end of the log.

Talk to Tidus. Enter the three-on-you battle (so that you earn +5 exp and a potion at the end). First, take-out the other two opponents (Sephie & Wakka), which isn’t too hard to manage at Level6 or higher (’bout same degree of difficulty as the Riku duel).

Then, target-lock Tidus and remain locked-on to him. Run around in oval-shaped circles with him tagging fairly closely behind you. Every-so-often (when Tidus is the farthest away while still within reach of your-own wooden sword), quickly turn around and clank swords with him. If executed correctly, you should see a rather bold shockwave circle at the point of clanking (as if two overlapping), and the words 'Tech +2' should appear on the screen, also in a relatively-speaking bold print. The accentuated boldness of the overlapping circles signifies that you scored two times the amount that it said you scored (4tech instead of 2). Note that ‘tech points’ are the same as 'exp.' or 'experience' points.

Also, by using this glitch\strategy, your battle against Tidus has no designated end, since you aren’t required to hit Tidus's body.
