    Behest Mob Levels

    Currently I've been at Camp Horizon fighting level 33 mobs. What I'm looking for is a list that details the mobs and their levels at each Behest area so I can probably farm SP without repeating Horizon over and over for 200+ SP. At rank 28 it's not bad since I can solo the mobs here, but I want something with better SP rewards. Thanks in advance.

    You should move on to the r30 behest at nophica or nanawa, I'd go with nanawa as its usually more populated. If you plan to solo to 50 I have pitty on your soul. Find someone to static with (leve-link/grind pt), duo-trio even should be better then afk behesting especially as the ranks become 50k sp tnr etc.

    Tach i'm on your server. Soloed all classes to 50 no problem. Actually a got all classes to 40 before my ls static got 1 to 50.

    Anyway, I really can't recommend grinding mobs between behest since there aren't really any decent sping mobs near the behest areas now days. Cobs and dobs used to make for smooth sailing but they have changed. And yeah I agree that you should go to the mines. Can start there at 24 for much better sp then Horizon. Move from Well's to Broken water at 35. I personally love crafting in between and doing leves when I can.

    Grinding mobs between behest is awful, seems like too much work for 150+ SP. I'd rather pretend I'm camping a Fafhogg or something and check in every 30 mins. Null has the right idea though by crafting between each Behest. I'm on Palamecia and it's hard to find statics or linkshells for that matter. Also off topic, why do the mobs that drop the unique/untradeable rank 25 gear have to be such a pain in the ass to kill? It seems to me you have to be 35 to kill those NMs.

    You want to keep mobs 10 ranks above you, that will give the best SP. Anything higher will not award anymore SP and will just be a waste of your time. If you are 28 now, I would recommend the r30 camps for Leves and Behest. One you hit 33-35 you can move to the r40 camps and Behest.

    The problem with that, Biggie, is that some camps are too difficult to solo. For example, I found Camp Horizon to supply me with level 33 mobs constantly, the "bosses" around 35-37. I went to Nophica Wells and the mobs there were 37 with "bosses" of 41-43. If this same formula is applied to all the surrounding main camps, then the level 30 camps should have behest mobs 13 levels higher. I guess I'll do the dirty work and make a list of mob levels at each behest camp. Might take me a while but I'll supply the results here. Though I feel this might change due to the incoming update.

    I'm trying to organize the mobs into "groups" now, so if you guys could provide data in the form like the example below would help tremendously:

    Example:
    Broken Water Groups
    Cadaverous Cockatrice x2 (50) (boss)
    Plague Djigga x3 (45)
    etc.

    Basically I'm trying to map out which behests give the best SP. It turns out that the # of players joining behest increases the number of "groups" that spawn in the behest, but groups can range from a single mob to 3. Since all mobs regardless of difficulty give 125 base SP, you obviously want to go for the zones where they spawn in mostly groups of 3. Mob level is still important to write though.

    Thanks!

    Wish I knew you guys were on Kashuan. I should've started looking around these forums before I made my character.

    I'll do my best to fill out your request.
    Side note somewhat related, When I first became aware of behest, someone told me to switch to a higher rank job in order to spawn more mobs, then switch back to the lower rank job I wanted to finish the behest on. I've noticed this trend in other areas too where some people would be rank 40+ then switch to a r20+ just to have more monsters to fight. Do you know if this has any validity behind it or are people superstitious and it's just a number of possibilities that makes more mobs spawn during behest?

    Haven't heard of this but I can try. From what I've gathered, the # of "groups" is based on # in party with some ranges. Solo you get 3-4 groups, over 6 you're essentially always going to get 10 + the boss. 10 groups + boss is the most you can get I think, but it doesn't require close to 8/8 in behest to reach it. I'd just like to see what all the possible groups in each camp is to see which is best (more average mobs per group is best).
