How to unlock the Liege of Leveling achievement in FINAL FANTASY VII - Definitive Guide
The easiest way to obtain this is defeating the Magic Pot in the Northern Crater.
You have to feed him an Elixir and then defeat him for a whooping 8000XP and 1000AP. Some times they come in two.
If you buy the EXP Plus Materia for 2000GP in the Gold Saucer you can expand the EXP outcome to 12000XP or double it up to 16000XP.
Sometimes there is a guy on this spot at the Gold Saucer. If not just leave and come back again. Here you can buy up to 100GP with 10.000Gil. If you rack up the 2.000GP you need 200.000GIL.
You also need the W-Item Materia you found this in the Sector 8 Tunnel raid "on Disc 2". You have to go the tunnel all the way to the south even if characters say this is wrong. Alternatevily you can dig this later out in Bone Village. You can duplicate as many Elixir as you like, if you have a minimum of two. With W-Item equipped take one Elixir. Take another and with and push to "stop" using it push again and again and so on. Every time you duplicate one up to 99.
Here is a video solution for this.
Level 4 Limits are not needed and also you do not have to fight alone.
Just farm magic pots using the W-item glitch to dupe elixirs and level up as you master your materia. Use this video for more info on farming ap and at the same time you'll be leveling relatively fast. Two birds one stone.
Most of this will come along the way as you grind out the gil required for the "Coming Up All Nines" achievement. You'll likely still need 25-30 levels once you get enough All materia maxed for your gil needs, but that is still the best method for experience as well. If you don't get into a battle with a Magic Pot, you can hold + to run away from battles as to not waste time.
Once you reach level 99 with one character, you will obtain this trophy. More likely than not, you will not have reached level 99 when you acquire enough mastered All Materia to obtain Coming Up All Nines. Continue grinding the enemies in the swamp area, however, as the Magic Pot enemies give out 8,000 EXP each, and the Master Tonberry enemies give out 6,000 EXP each. Equipping the EXP Plus Materia, acquired from the Wonder Square for 2,000 GP, will reduce the amount of time required to reach level 99.
Enabling Turbo Mode during this process will reduce the amount of time to grind significantly.
Note: Reaching level 99 will cause the game’s final boss to become superpowered. While it may not be a big problem if you are able to defeat Ruby and Emerald Weapons, it can come as a surprise for those unprepared. If you do not want to face the superpowered final boss, create a save before reaching level 99, reload it after obtaining the trophy, and then face the final boss.
The very end of the game. North Crater. The monster we need is...
Magic Pot (to get to it, you need to use Cloud at the forks, answer “LEFT” to the first question, and “UP” to the second)
Among ordinary monsters, he has the highest experience gained (you can ignore the rest). But he is initially invulnerable. To remove invulnerability, you need to use ELIXIR on it. To have an infinite amount of elixirs , you will need W-ITEM materia:
(according to the plot, you will find yourself in the Midgar subway - there, go south to the end - the matter lies on the last screen)
This matter allows you to use two items in one turn. When you select the second item, cancel the selection and the quantity of this item will increase by 1 (this is a bug). Thus, you can always have 99 elixirs.

With it (Magic Pot), money is best farmed. I advise you to combine it with experience farming.
The fastest way to get 99, 999, 999 gil is to sell MASTER All Materia . One sells for 1,400,000 gil (an empty All Materia can be purchased at Fort Condor for 20,000 gil). It is advisable to give Cloud the Apocalypse sword (located at the end of the Ancient Forest) and Sid the Scimitar spear (according to the plot, before you get the submarine - you can skip the weapon, but you have to try ).
These two weapons are the only items in the game with Triple growth AP for materia. Fill them with All Materia (fill armor with Double growth too, put W-ITEM on the armor), and hunt for Magic Pot. It's better to ignore the rest of the monsters - you'll save time.
So, you will simultaneously combine the fastest leveling up to 99 lvl with the fastest farming of 99, 999, 999 gil .
1) You must return to the Gold Saucer. You can return from the North Corel location by train.
2) On the first screen of the Gold Saucer location, near the Save Point, with some probability a boy may appear from whom you can exchange 10,000 Gil for 100 GP. Run to the next location, where the “Welcome” sign is, and back until the boy appears again. Video:

Accumulate 2000GP (200,000 Gil) this way. This is exactly the cost of Exp Plus Materia, which can be purchased for GP there in Gold Saucer, in the Wonder Square location.
