Bunny Tails: How To Grind 2

You'll likely have run into Bunicorns early on. They hang out in the Heliodor Region, especially around the campsite, both day and night. The real trick here is to go at night. When it's dark, they're usually sleeping in groups of three or four, making them super easy targets. Their common drop is a Leather Hat, but the Bunny Tail is their rare drop. If you have Erik in your party, you can use his 'Half-Inch' ability to try and steal the Leather Hat, which might make the Bunny Tail more likely to drop. This method is doable early on, but it's much smoother once Erik joins your crew.

For a better chance at Bunny Tails, you'll want to find Spiked Hares. You can find them on Insula Occidentalis and in the Champs Sauvage region (the same place you go for the Silver Orb early in the game). The Bunny Tail is actually a *common* drop from Spiked Hares, which is a huge improvement over the Bunicorn's rare drop. There's also a tougher version called the 24-Carrot Bunicorn in the same areas. While it's a much harder fight, especially on your first visit, the Bunny Tail is a common drop from it too. Honestly, sticking with the regular Spiked Hare or even the normal Bunicorn might be less hassle.

Once you get access to the ship, you can sail to Emerald Coast and backtrack. But the absolute best way to farm Bunny Tails is to wait until you have Jade in your party. This unlocks the 'Hallelujah' Pep Power. This Pep Power doesn't require any specific skills, just that the Hero, Erik, and Jade are all 'pepped up' in battle. Once they are, you can activate Hallelujah. What this amazing move does is guarantee the rare drop from the last three enemies you defeat in that battle. So, if those last three enemies are Bunicorns, you're guaranteed Bunny Tails! This is way, way easier than just grinding them down and hoping for a drop.

Pro-Tip: You can actually put characters out of battle once they've been pepped up. This helps keep them pepped for when you need them for a Pep Power like Hallelujah, especially if you're fighting a longer battle.

Keep in mind that as you progress through the story, monster locations can shift. In the first and second acts of the game, Bunicorns are in the Heliodor Region, but they vanish in the final act. Spiked Hares, however, are consistently found on Insula Occidentalis in the first and last acts. In the middle part of the game, they relocate to the Eerie Eyrie. If you need Bunny Tails during that middle section, that's where you'll need to go. The 24-Carrot Bunicorn follows the Spiked Hares, so it'll also be at the Eerie Eyrie during the game's middle act.
