Well, I finally progressed a bit. It's weird that they would do main story progress through pretty hard fights that you have to grind for. I've done all the side quests now and just want to level up one more time before I attempt that main mission where I have to fight those 3 monsters alone to get the last part for Tora's Blade. I better get him as a partner after that because fighting alone suuuuuucks. Maybe it would be easier if his damn Anker Shots didn't throw the potions as far and as unreachable as possible.

Have you rested in an inn yet in Gormott? There you can redeem bonus exp to level up. It took me a while to figure this out lol. 

I know that's how it works. That's how I've been leveling. However I think I saw the Inn in Gormott once but I cannot find it anymore, so I just visit Alrest for that.

While I really liked all the tutorials, there is still some stuff missing that hasn't been explained properly. For example what the hell is up with this Thought Cloud and what are the benefits of buying out shops. And why the fuck I can only claim bonus XP in Inns. Is there a benefit of not leveling up? I wish there was an ingame tutorial to review all that stuff.
