English term or phrase: grinding
Definition from Techopedia:
Grinding refers to the playing time spent doing repetitive tasks within a game to unlock a particular game item or to build the experience needed to progress smoothly through the game. Grinding most commonly involves killing the same set of opponents over and over in order to gain experience points or gold. Although other game genres require some grinding, role-playing games (RPG) – specifically massively multiplayer online role-playing games – are the most notorious for requiring this type of time investment from players.

Example sentence(s):
  • Grinding slowly became a fundamental aspect of single-players RPGs even though its repetitive nature has been said to be a result of poor game design, but the rise of the internet and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) like World of Warcraft added new competitive and social variables that made grinding even more tantalizing. Inverse
  • There are some gamers that say they do not want grinding in games, but what they really mean is that they hate spending a great deal of time having to grind. Every game has some form of grinding, as every game has repeated actions required to move forward. The key is that players need to feel they are moving forward to the next stage or story chapter, or the grind becomes filler and without purpose. Seasoned Gaming
  • However, one must admit that grinding in video games has a necessity, especially when it is devoid of game developers’ monetary-hunger. BangoGames

granjear (experiencia)


Definition from thefreedictionary:
granjear
tr. Adquirir [caudal] traficando.
tr.-prnl. Conseguir, captar.

Example sentence(s):
  • sí podemos “granjear” experiencia un poco para subir de nivel y que todo sea más fácil, pero muchos disfrutamos más de la estrategia, que además debes tener sí o sí, porque aunque llegues con un nivel mucho mayor, si te descuidas terminarás encontrando tu muerte. - RESEÑA SECRET OF MANA

Explanation:
granjear (objetos/botín/recompensas/puntos)
The drop rates are in my opinion too low. Its actually more efficient to grind red slimes, sell the loot and buy the ores (the fact that anyone actually grind these yellow slimes is a mystery to me or why the prices are so low compared to the drop rate).

farmear


Definition from Gamerdic:
Realizar repetidamente una acción con el fin de conseguir puntos de experiencia, dinero, objetos o cualquier otra ventaja para nuestro personaje, generalmente en juegos RPG.

Aunque inicialmente hacía referencia concreta a la recolección de objetos como hierbas curativas (de ahí el proviene el término agricultura) con el tiempo se ha ido extendiendo a cualquier tipo de acción que nos reporte beneficio, como eliminar enemigos, superar retos, etc.

Example sentence(s):
  • En esta guía de Desuello en Battle for Azeroth te enseñaremos las mejores rutas para farmear en los mapas de Battle for Azeroth. - guiaswow.com  
  • ¿Levear?, what that...? Si te refieres a subir rapido de nivel se acabo el farmear; con la actualizacion del parche 1.9 ya no podras subir rapido tus habilidades. [...] - 3djuegos.com (Forum Post)  
  • ¡¡A farmear cobre!! | Stardew Valley - Temporada 3 #36 - YouTube (Gameplay)  

Explanation:
I find "farmear" more frequently than "grindear", but this last one is used too. However, the players usually use "farmear".
