Tips

From Grey Jorildyn:

You want the 5-level range of mobs that is 10+ over your level. the small gaps are hard to fill. You should shoot for 4-5 person parties early then move more toward 3-4 person parties when you start getting with 7 ranks of the mobs and can't progress to the next tier of mobs. Stay away from doblyns and look for base 100 sp mobs or really close to. You should be getting 180-225/kill. Early on you'll get 270-315 or so if you're on the right track, without fatigue of course.

Lvl. 30-40

From OWS_Tonxs:

Had a good sp party yesterday at Tam-tara killing Goblins and eventually just efts. We pulled in a good 15k/hr or so, our party was THM38, LNC39, CON37, PUG37. Also Copperbell Mines is pretty good right at level 30. I don't remember how much sp we were getting, but it was me as THM33, GLA34 and PUG33. You the coblyns. They die really fast and give 200+sp/kill, and there's a lot of them around. When I log on later I'll find out positions on the maps and such for camps.

Word

Edit: Just saw that I posted this. Looks like a friend saw this page open while I was away from my computer and decided he wanted to post this exciting comment. Ignore it.

[LinktheDeme]

Since we now know enemy levels, is it possible we can start a functional exp guide? I can certainly turn this post into one but I am hoping people will share some good spots.

As to my request, I get around 7k/hr doing behest but I was hoping good ole exp parties offer more. I would like to log in and form a party and I am lvl 31. Where should I look into for good exp/hr?

can you edit the post as people reply that way it's easy to read it? Or were you proposing that you would be starting a guide based on people's reply and then linking to it in the OP? If its the latter my bad

I can if people start posting some good spots np

[Lordender]

you'd probably want mobs that are R40-42, I saw a bunch of humanoid pirate mobs on the way toward baldknoll camp, that might be good for a 31 party.

Hell copperbell mines in the front on those Dobylns might be good too, they're 40-44 range.

+10-14 levels higher seems to be the general rule i'm seeing.

[Grey Jorildyn]

yeah, you want the 5-level range of mobs that is 10+ over your level. the small gaps are hard to fill. You should shoot for 4-5 person parties early then move more toward 3-4 person parties when you start getting with 7 ranks of the mobs and can't progress to the next tier of mobs.

SP caps at +10 levels. Pick a mob type of appropriate level for your party size and go to town.

[Drako]

would be nice to have a list of the best leves for each rank (ones that have many mobs and can be easilly failed)

[OWS_Tonx]

My LS has one put together. it's not too complete, but I can post it. give me a sec.

A devilet inside (camp Horizon) should also be on the 20's list. One of the best leves for that area. (craps out around 35-40 though)
Escape from cell B17 is the Bloodshore equivalent of devilet, though not quite as good and it starts to suck around 35 with links.


Adamantine wills and Corpus Adamance (both Nanawa Mines) are also great leves.

IMO the only leves worth doing for skill points are dunesfolk, ranine, cracked up, inferno, corpus, adamantine wills, cell B17, devilet inside, and levinshower.
Haven't really checked out too many gridania leves though.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Moon's mistress in grid.

Isn't there already a list of the best leves on these boards? Thought this was common knowledge by now.

i got tons of spots, when i get a moment ill post them all.
for 30+ i can think of off my memory is,
27+ efts in mistbeard and orobons there too,
same efts but mixed with birds at nine ivies, the 4 open circle rooms on the map surrounding it.
from there i went to tam tara bottom floor think it was 34+, skeles in bottom left/top left/top right rooms, and zombies in bottom right
did those for awhile, theres a ton of spots for 30 in coerthas. i made a huge map of coerthas but its not finished of
every mobs location and rank. ill run off a few till i get a chance to finish it and post it.
a 33-39 pt can do stags south of shepherds peak in coerthas. *****(ill get coordinates later and reedit this post)********
heres a nice spot at 28-36 or so pt, south east of that shepherds are Ewe's
a R20~pt can do yarzons east of dragon head in coerthas
a r26-34 pt can do gobs south of those yarzons
puks to the west of glory and south of dragon head is r20 pt
and last one i can think of right now is,
west of ishgard across the bridge is rivers meet, and say hello to it, cos its a nice spot imo.
rivers meet has
ewe(kinda scarce) solo/duo r37'ish
hogs(middle SW island) r26-34 pt
gnats (south island) r26-34 pt
stags near riversmeet camp (scarce'ish) stags prolly solo them around r44 or when bored.
east of that riversmeet across the bridge is hippogryphs, a pt of 23-29 should be good there
west side of that bridge is peistes a pt of r35-40 should be good, just need paralyna(if you care about paralyze
for R40+
i got a few nice camps, they are VERY debatable,
first off the bat to get rid of it, is the boulder downs raptors, R43+
then i found these also, north west of crooked fork is qiqiroons/hippo's/raptors which is great for R44+ pt's
from that there is also stags north east above those mobs also good, and east of those stags are drakes
the drakes are great but if your a bunch of n00bs, dont bother.
they give about 450sp a kill die fairly easily, but it has nasty flail, breath and hits fairly hard.
theres a ton other camps but ill write again later.
ill try to think of more lower rank camps since that was the topic.
cheers

[aikawa]

Someone should definitely take the helm and set up a site similar to this.

It was extremely useful for new/returning players in XI. Very simple, clean, and easy to comment/add.
