After Demon Prison District 2, when you get into the 170ish range all of the maps have such few spawns and such low saturation that it is impossible to grind. I would highly recommend fleshing out some of these areas with additional spawns as it is pretty much impossible to grind effectively in any of these areas.
To name a few:
Uskis Arable Land - Level 166
Spring Light Woods - Level 169
Glade Hillroad - Level 173
Viltis Forest - Level 176
Roxona Agency West Building - Level 178
Laukyme Swamp - Level 179
Roxona Angency East Building - Level 182
Verkti Square - Level 184
Roxona Market - Level 187
Mokusul Chamber - Level 188
These areas are all ghost towns. There needs to be more enemies, and I mean A LOT more enemies.
