Training Manual (XL)
Consume · ConsumePalGainExp3★A training manual; a Pal that reads through it earns a large amount of EXP.
Nothing is crafted from it — it is an end product, so anything you make is meant to be used rather than banked as a component.
Details
It weighs almost nothing and stacks to 9,999, so there is no reason not to carry a full stack.
Training Manual (XL) Crafting Recipe
Ancient Pal Manuscript
High Quality Cloth
Leather×5Crafting it takes 509 materials across 3 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 500× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.
Where to Find Training Manual (XL)
2 Pals drop Training Manual (XL) when defeated or captured, which is usually the faster route if you are already out hunting — the drop list below is sorted by how reliably each one gives it up.
It also shows up as world loot — chests in the Desert, chests in the Mount Obsidian and chests in the Snowfields, and 47 more pools besides, usually 1–2 at a time. Higher-grade chests carry the better rolls, so the ones guarded by a camp are usually worth the detour.
Chests inside 4 caverns, including Astral Mountains Cavern and Cavern of the Dunes, can hold it as well.
