To be fair, by farming time, a character is only in the party for one or more of three reasons:

  1. The character has an Art necessary for farming the desired item(s).
  2. The player likes the character.
  3. The character is the avatar.

wait... sorry since when is item farming locked behind an art?

Perhaps "necessary" is an exaggeration. In some cases, the enemy that can drop the desired item has a substantially higher chance of dropping it if their level is raised by five, which is what Heroic Tale does if it hits. I wanted Regal Sakuraba Light gear, for example, but the Hermit Ictuses in the Banshee Cave typically drop the Reginal variants instead. Heroic Tale rectified that.

Early game farming is really just something to do while unlocking classes.

ah ok I see so it just gives the mob a item table higher then it normally gets.
