Editing EXP bonus abilities

[[File:RoF Smart Valor Icon.png]]
[[Support ability|Support abilities]] that give extra [[Experience Points]] have been known in the [[Final Fantasy series|''Final Fantasy'' series]] by various names, such as '''Level Up''' {{J|レベルアップ|Reberu Appu}}, '''Level Lust''', '''Exp Up''', '''EXP Up''', '''Double EXP''', '''Knowledge to Power''', '''Accrue EXP''', '''Smart Valor''', and '''Gained Exp UP'''. They are mostly found on pieces of equipment, namely [[Accessory|accessories]], that usually double the amount of Experience Points a character earns from [[Battle (term)|battles]]. It is an ability usually acquired around midway to late in the game.

The [[Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster|''Final Fantasy'' pixel remaster series]] games now also include native EXP multipliers the player can set from the menu, to make the party gain levels faster, making EXP bonus abilities in those games largely redundant.
