hw - wandering around looking for encounters is a bit dull because the monastary reloads so infrequently (compared to, say ascension peak). but camp for 8 hours in a safe spot and go for another wander and you can pick up exp pretty quick.
loudhy - i only tried once to hang about the monastary beyond the standard clean out. it was a three-man party (monk, alchemist, rogue) and they ran into a triple encounter of slimes they couldnt even identify (lvl 13+). considering they were level 8, i thought this was a bit unfair. after multiple reloads i went back to a previous save, left the monastary, and have never tried it again!
personally, i just do what needs to be done and keep going. i take every level up i earn as soon as i earn it (except for some experimentation with dual-classing low-level spell casters - a near failure). occasionally, i have to reload my initial entrance to the road (5 crusher crabs is a bit much for a 4-man level 7 party), and very rarely run away while walking to arnika (usually only if there's been a dozen encounters!).
but that's just what works for me. i like the sounds of what you're doing, though. how long does it take to get to level 10? how big are your parties?
